Uh Uh Harry ?

Harry has never voted because the royal family dont and never have

I don't think the royals want to be worshipped! Not the younger ones anyway! I too would hate a republic, but I don't worship anyone except the Almighty, and certainly not the RF!

I don’t think the Queen wants to be worshipped, she was ten
when she became heir to the throne, such a different world,
she has moved with the times

Loved the book by my teacher colleague 'The Queen and I' by Sue Townsend- the Royal family having been sent to live in a Council Estate in Leicester. Brilliant. Some coped much better than others, Anne and the Queen Mum were great at adapting.

Mm- Worship may be the wrong term (although as she is head of the C of E it may be accurate). So let's have venerate.
Some of the actions involved in both are similar. Bowing or in some way giving an indication of honouring the person. In some way accepting they are superior or better than anyone else. Most of the RF are regarded as this, why I do not know.

I remember that book, biba

Somehow I can't imagine the Queen Mum adapting to life in a council house unless there was space for her butlers and a large cabinet for her gin and Dubonnet!

Bowing and curseying are not obligatory any more even to the Queen. People do so presumably because they want to not because they have to. Shaking hands is perfectly acceptable these days.

Yes, I think the Queen Mother might have had difficulty accommodating all her 'baggage ' in more ways than one!!!!???

According to Sue (sadly died of complications of Diabetes quite some years back) - Queen Mum did very well and became best friend with the West Indian lady next door- they had a hoot.

No doubt speaking in a Beryl Reid accent!

Interesting reports emerging today about the cost of H&M's South African tour.

£250,000 and despite the visit being a success they still felt the need to bleat about their hardships and announce they were suing the press!

Thereby trashing the whole thing.

I bow, to the Cross .

Callistemon she would have needed an account with a bookie as well.

merlot the visit to S.A. was to publicise the charities , no publicly for any charities just a tv interview about themselves.

Actually the tour was undertaken at the request of the Foreign Office who thought there would be economic opportunities in Africa post Brexit and M&H were the people most likely to be able to promote British interests. The charity work was their own private initiative.

No she'd be permanently behind, so she'd have to start shop lifting the gin.

Meghan .manages to look totally at ease and eager to lecture us all, in fact looks extremely pleased with life as I'm sure she is! Harry? looks sad, anxious, crouched on the seat, and generally miserable! You can be serious and enthusiastic, and smile!!! Harry looks as if he's terrified of performing badly and the consequences that will follow. In other words he's frightened of MM! Domestic abuse?!!

He certainly looked dejected from his body language, slumped and downcast, fiddling with his wedding ring.She on the other hand, looked upright and brighteyed and confident.

I spoke to my son who lives in the US about this. He reads a lot of media for his work and he said it has barely been reported in America. He only knew of it because he saw it on the BBC website.

She has popped up on America's Got Talent.

She sure knows how to get around

I don’t think that’s high on my son’s viewing list, Oopsminty!

“She is such an attention seeker she’d turn up to the opening of an envelope “

Think this was said of Princess Michael of Kent years ago

Yes! I remember she was known as Princess Pushy!! I think she's more low-key these days!! Which member of the RF when asked, said that their least favourite task would be tea with Princess Michael'? Was it Prince Harry?!!!!

He had a sense of humour in those days then, Jaberwok!

If Meghan follows her dream into politics they're going to need some seriously rich and influential friends.

They don't seem to care that their popularity has nosedived in the UK but the same could happen in the USA.

They'd have to give up their titles and despite their constant criticism of the RF there is still a great deal of respect for the Queen.

Mr and Mrs Markle doesn't have much of a ring to it.
