I was prepared to ignore the coronation, but for Charles to insist that his now wife be crowned is beyond the pale in my opinion.
I realise there are a huge number of royalists on Gransnet but do any of you agree with me that she should not be crowned?

How on earth can anyone possibly know what happened that night? It all seems like tittle tattle and gossip to me.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 19:15:10

Isnt that the same as those that "know" all about Harry and Meghan's conversations, how the queen must have felt about things, who adored whom, etc?

maddyone Sun 16-Oct-22 19:15:28

It will be cruel if Netflix include any of this gossip as fact. If those of us who live in the UK don’t know, how would those who are at the other side of the world?

maddyone Sun 16-Oct-22 19:15:58

Much the same MissA

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 19:18:42

The main thing is that the royals do whatever they please, regardless of what we think.

Charles and Camilla seem very much suited, and it really doesn't matter too much who said or did what, all those years ago.

Do we not all do as we please re relationships but we don’t
make the headlines or have lies about us written for a tv series.

you are right MissAdventure so shall we get this thread and others of a similar subject closed down and bring an end to gransnet

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 20:22:24

Well, I'm sure we can all find other things to talk about.

I'd be very disappointed to think nobody has any other interesting things to have a chin wag about.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 20:31:17

Just to add, I'm quite happy to gossip about Charles, though. smile

here we go then!
John Major rubbishes The Crown's depiction of Charles 'trying to force Queen's abdication' in 1990s
The upcoming fifth season of Netflix royal drama The Crown is reported to show the then Prince Charles briefing people against the Queen in a bid to replace her in 1991.https://news.sky.com/story/john-major-rubbishes-the-crowns-depiction-of-charles-trying-to-force-queens-abdication-in-1990s-12721855

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 21:06:09

I don't have Netflix, so that's a bit lost on me.

I've never watched the Crown, but I assume it would be sensationalised?

MissAdventure Sun 16-Oct-22 21:10:02

Why would he have tried to force the queen to abdicate?

lemsip Mon 17-Oct-22 08:37:52

I don't have netflix.. it's all over the news.....

Elegran Mon 17-Oct-22 08:38:09

And why does Netflix depict him as trying to? Could it be that they were short of genuine things to show the royals doing for that year so they whipped up a sensational episode that smeared Charles?

Elegran Mon 17-Oct-22 08:39:57

Are they testing the water to see how far the royal policy of not sueing will stretch?

Its possible Charles may have broached the subject with his mother. After all he had reached retirement without ever having starting his ‘job’.
She had made the famous ‘be it long or short’ speech so it was another 30 years.
He has the crown now and wonder if Charles retires early to give William a decent crack.

It might be no loss .
If fascination with threads such as this is the best GN can offer, it is doomed anyway.

Mollygo Mon 17-Oct-22 10:24:02

If they’re having to use those annoying pop up videos to finance it it probably is.

And yet...here is everybody commenting on it and each thread on Royalty gets the conversation (argument) going. grin

Grany Mon 17-Oct-22 10:39:27

Abolish the monarchy

Anniebach Mon 17-Oct-22 10:43:02

Surely we can choose which threads we want to post , if this
thread is boring don’t read it, why want it closed ?

henetha Mon 17-Oct-22 10:43:25

No thank you. Long live the King. smile
