Royal children stripped of titles

No, just you.

Maybe write to George Clooney and ask him what is wrong with him and why he is so pathetic? ???

Good lord.

How pathetic. What is wrong with you folk?

^Wee man^ - I understand wee, it means small.

If someone is tall it seems a ridiculous word to use.
Oh, "this is my wee grandson", as he towers above me ?

I'll just let the rest of Scotland know that you don't approve of our use of language so we should immediately desist.

Get ower yersel'.

It's shocking, merlotgran. She's a woman and should dress appropriately in a skirt and very high heels and travel in a limousine, not march with the men wearing ? trousers.

I love the way Princess Anne has broken the mould of female royals by riding or parading alongside the men in ceremonial dress.

I know things will have changed a great deal when William is king and I may not be around to see it but I hope Charlotte takes a leaf out of Aunty Anne’s book because she already has the stage presence.

I do admire Princess Anne but her uniform is incongrous...my brother (ex RN) said she looked like something from HMS Pinafore. Sorry I expect some on here will be offended by that

Well, not offended exactly and I won't enter into an argument whether Princess Anne is entitled to wear it or not, but it is the ceremonial dress uniform of an Admiral.
Obviously not what an Admiral would wear normally, except on ceremonial occasions.

This is a lovely photo.

Blossoming thank you for your post I saw this article about the Danish RF and it made me wonder what our King might do. I agree our RF did look splendid at the funeral but isn't it time to review all this militeria.

I just hope the King will take something from the Danish and Swedish Royal Families

Over the years there have been plenty of both very informal photos and ‘normal dress’ photos of our RF.

It’s not as if they’re never seen in anything but ‘Ruritania’ outfits, as one pp seems to imply.

Rosie51 “wee man” is a common term of affection in Scotland. My oldest g’son is 19, well over 6ft and he is often called “wee man” by both his Mum (my daughter) and myself.

We're not all Scottish and may not understand the vernacular.

Oh come on….wee man isn’t hard to understand. My northern Irish friend uses the diminutive “wee” about loads of tbh gs and I’ve never heard anyone ask her why ……

My policeman son has the golden and platinum jubilee medals. No doubt he'll get the coronation medal if there is one and he's a serving officer. I consider him to be important, doing an important job. He -couldn't care less isn't bothered about the medals.

My son will have the platinum one as well, though he hasn't mentioned it.

What he does have is a beautiful medal for the nine years he spent as a Police Special Constable, serving alongside his regular colleagues, in his own time and unpaid.
Now that one I'm very proud of on his behalf ?

And so you should be, as should he. Specials are an invaluable resource and very much appreciated by the regulars!

I like accuracy, especially when someone is dissing another group.

*Callistemon21*. I'd advise you never move to Scotland. Your head will explode with pedantry. ?

My BF was Scottish as are many of my friends (emigrants, I suppose but never lost their accents).

However, I probably wouldn't use my local vernacular as I wouldn't expect most posters to know what I meant.

Well every day is a school day on GN.

Earl of Wessex's children have standard titles

I'm really not picking on the wee man, but a Viscount?

I'm afraid I agree with Ilovecheese
