Prince Charles has jeopardised his reign. amoneyccepting

DaisyAnne I think a lot of posts and links on here purport to be facts, when probably no one knows. I guess we all convey our own perceptions of the family one way or another. I'm happy to see what transpires should unlawful dealings be found, and have confidence in the system.

I have learnt quite a lot about the RFamily from Republicans on these threads. Some if it quite unsavoury and unpalatable stuff.
The trouble is, it doesn't actually change my mind to want to keep the monarchy.

Have you learned any facts though Joseanne? I have seen a lot of very nasty gossip where you could be led to believe the person saying it was actually in the room, the way they tell you what happened. But they were not.

In this country, we do not, I hope, have trials by gossip or malicious rumour but by law. We then find out what did or didn't happen. Hopefully, we are not becoming like the Trumpians in the US. There the ignorance of opinion is seen as equal to the truth of knowledge. Heaven save our country from this type of political cult.

The problem with the RF is there is no transparency particularly with their financial affairs, so us “loyal subjects” don’t have a clue, unless for the odd leak.
There are lots of assumptions about the Queen, who in fact most of us know little, but seem to form very firm opinions, mainly from the press. I suspect we may feel quite differently about the monarchy if we knew the reality.

He is indeed coming to the throne with baggage. People have already taken sides as we know far more about his personal life than we ever will about the Queen’s. Still, like it or lump it he will be King. It was easy to “love” a bland personality like the Queen who did nothing publicly that approached controversy but Charles has previous. It will be difficult to invent a fairytale monarchy around him.

Charles will be coming to the throne with a lot of baggage

No coincidence it was made news after 11 years

I find it hard to believe that Prince Charles actually humphed a suitcase full of cash. Don't they have people to do that kind of thing?
I find it easy to believe our Prime Minister leaked the information to deflect from his by election results and as revenge for the Rwanda comments.

Yes it's shameful the way he runs the Duchy not allowing people to buy their houses or land. He lobbied ministers no other landlord gets away with this treating their tennents this way and allowed to get away with it.

There is a film

The Man Who Shoukdnt Be King

People talking about the same thing and that Charles is all Take gives nothing back.

Time to get rid of the monarchy

I don’t think this article has already been shared. People need to know this.

Revealed: how Prince Charles pressured ministers to change law to benefit his estate

Dan Wootton has made some good points. I doubt Prince Charles will ever command the respect that has been given to his mother.

Well Dan Wootton doesn’t miss and hit the wall in his criticism of our future Head Of State. Interesting times ahead.

Volver, we don't know the Sheikh's intentions. Me, I have a very very gullible personality and if a sheikh handed me a present for my chosen charity even I would question his intentions. All the more so since I have no favours sexual or political with which to reciprocate. PC on the other hand can exert quite a lot of influence. PC is not a pretty girl so his reciprocity would be political .

Blimey, even Dan Wootton is going off him!

All we know is that the money the sheikh gave him was given to charity. We don't know who the sheikh intended it to go to.

Yes, a donation to a charity is sometimes a gift.

A present ? is a donation to a charity a present ?

If this really happened what is wrong is the implication the Prince has a cosy social relationship with possibly undesirable foreign politician. Only people who have a certain sort of relationship gets a present in a Tesco bag or similar.

Donations with political strings attached is a separate problem. What was the Sheikh's agenda and did PC not query what the Sheikh's intention was? Why are you giving me a present it's not my birthday.

Accepting it is

Nothing dodgy about the word "liquide" in French, Grany. It is a banking term used every day and just means cash.
Liquids flow, cash that's available to re-purpose flows.

Yes I know not saying cash is dodgy excepting it

fric is a good one!

Oui

L'argent en liquide

I love this. It sounds even more dodgy in French: "Trois versements en liquide".

Another day in the sordid and overdue collapse of the British imperialist state.
