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?

An elected HoS act in the interests of the country? Well, maybe, maybe not. This person is bound to be an ex politician and as such have a political agenda as they see it. Would this person take over the role that the RF now fill, if not, what on earth would they do on a day to day basis that the P.M doesn't already do ? No, I and many like me including my DGC will stick with the old tried and tested RF. For a start we love the pageantry and are looking forward to the Coronation, and an excuse for party time.

Perhaps Camilla will carry on the tradition?

I gather from Google that the Queen . not the Crown, personally owned the Windsor greys. I hope to goodness King Charles will carry on the horse tradition as his mother did! Camilla is keen horsewoman I gather. Queen Elizabeth loved all sorts of horses from ponies to the English thoroughbred and you knew that from the way she looked at them.

Me and millions of others still want the monarchy, Grany. But we are all entitled to our opinion. We'll just have to agree to differ.

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 19:09:35

Ah, thank you. smile

Do they belong to the king, now?

Were they specifically the queen's animals?

Caleo Mon 17-Oct-22 19:05:17

Miss Adventure noted someone referred to Windsor greys. Grey horses over about eight years old are actually white as are the famous Windsor greys. Elderly Windsors are as well trained as these experienced horses, which is an advantage over some silly politicians.

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

Quite probably, and after 41 years memories can be unreliable, but it was being put about in the papers.

I suppose ‘Recollections may vary’ also.

We don’t know stuff because our press don’t report royal tittle tattle. Never really have.
It’s the European papers who get and print Royal news, gossip and scandal and our Europeans cousins who tell us what’s going on.

No thank you. Long live the King. smile

The Royals must be counting on people like you and the royal propaganda to keep them going. Plus the millions on unnecessary coronation.

The King is only there to serve the monarchy and polititions. The people and our unwritten constitution don't matter to him king will only do as PM aks, so with all the law breaking, contracts to their mates costing billions from Tory government the monarch didn't question step in.

But oddly enough the monarch does vet laws that affect his interests and lobby ministers you would be right in saying this is corruption, In public office for private gain.

A Elected Head of State would act in the interests of the country if our constitution laws have been broken.

Windsor Greys are horses ?

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 12:56:07

I saw someone mention greys.

Were they meaning the horses will be grey (assuming they weren't referring to to Charles and Camilla)

Caleo Mon 17-Oct-22 11:46:24

Long live the Windsor circus! Bravo processions with beautiful horses!

silverlining48 Mon 17-Oct-22 11:35:57

MawtheMerrier ???

MawtheMerrier Mon 17-Oct-22 10:53:35

Fair point icanhandthemback
Pity you omitted the rest of the sentence
And yet...here is everybody commenting on it and each thread on Royalty gets the conversation (argument) going. …. round in circles. grin

henetha Mon 17-Oct-22 10:44:19

(that was to Grany)

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

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 ?

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

Abolish the monarchy

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

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

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

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.

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