Things King Charles might do

I was thinking that should the media be a bit slow in referring to Camilla as simply ‘The Queen’, I think he’ll start doing so. I also think he’ll do something to see him referred to as ‘ Defender of Faiths’, rather than ‘the faith’.
I was also wondering how Christmas will look without the Queen, as I think she was the one who wanted them all at Sandringham. Will the Sussexes be invited? Andrew? The Middletons? Camilla’s family? Strange how my mind works when I can’t sleep!

True Callistemon. I don't know why the lady would lie either. Seems silly.

I don't know why everyone is blaming Burrell for these stories, they originated in Royal Biographer Brian Hoey's book " Not in front of The Corgis" The documentary in 2015 featuring some of his ex -staff plus Burrell confirmed what was in the book.

Why would a security guard of Edward and Sophie asked if he
could run with them ? Do security guards asked the person they are paid to guard ask ‘May I come with you?’

It's mostly rubbish and needs at Annie, bit like this thread.

Jaberwok Wed 28-Sept-22 16:45:44

.... heresay.....

Anniebach Wed 28-Sept-22 16:49:00

If Burrell confirmed it then it must be true , he did say Diana
said he was the only man she ever trusted, in a recent documentary he said he was Diana’s friend, and he said at
the inquest he had a private meeting with a Catholic priest re
a secret marriage between Diana and Hasnet Khan, unusual
an Anglican and a Muslim being married by a Catholic Priest

Jaberwok Wed 28-Sept-22 17:53:24

Ummm, as I said Annie, rubbish and heresay. confused

More hearsay.

Anniebach Wed 28-Sept-22 18:17:47

Exposes the Monarchy ? Just a republican giving his opinion

nadateturbe Wed 28-Sept-22 19:08:43

What did he say that wasn't true?
And why would God appoint people to live with such wealth and privilege?

Reporting answering a query from another poster, how very strange!. Obviously A sore subject so don't worry the skeleton won't be mentioned again, at least not by me.

My query was from *SueDonims post about Paddyann taking the "royal shilling".

SueDonim Wed 28-Sept-22 19:38:34

Yes, sorry I didn’t return to this. I’ve been ill and mainly spending my time in the bathroom. ?

It was posts by Paul Burrell that I saw on Facebook. I have no idea whether he had first-hand knowledge, made them up, or copied them from someone else. Many of his assertions are old hat (old inventions dug up again because Charles is now King and there is an interest is such gossip?) but he is definitely circulating them.

Ah! The ex-soldier has a book just out - that explains it. His timing is impeccable.

This thread reminds me of a load of 1950s women in pinnies and rollers gossiping over the garden fence.

The safest path to follow is never believe any second hand gossip about anyone, only the words you hear from their own mouths.

Anniebach Thu 29-Sept-22 08:15:53

I haven’t heard the ‘1950’s women in pinnies’ since Trisher
stopped posting

Hope you're feeling better SueDonim

I'm definitely not Trisher although the name rings a bell. Some threads can be very gossipy though, and those women do spring to mind. ?

Callistemon21 Thu 29-Sept-22 10:10:33

Cissie and Ada ?

Anniebach Thu 29-Sept-22 11:17:25

Chestnut I didn’t think you were Trisher so sorry.

She used 1950’s housewives to describe women who married
into the royal family, Kate, Sophie etc. obedient to their husbands. It certainly proved she had never lived in the South
Wales mining valleys in the 1950’s ?

To get back to the thread, it seems H&M have been demoted on the Palace website along with Andrew. The three of them are at the bottom of the Royal Family page. So the King is making changes, all totally justified.

Is he good at website design then? That'd be a nice second career for him.
