‘Royal’ Forum anyone?

It was commented upon the other day that there were four threads relating to the Royal family.

Seeing as we are in Platinum Jubilee Year, would a ‘Royal’ or ‘Monarchy’ forum be of interest?

For royalists and republicans to comment upon.

Yes please, yes please, yes please.

A RF forum so we never have to see the words Harry & Meghan again unless we really want to.

Are they still Royal?

I'm confused.

Still no personal preference either way for a forum, but would we be allowed to chat about republicanism versus monarchism? Or is it just about hats and hard working pensioners?

There's a Royal Family forum on Mumsnet smile

Yes, but Gransnet is just the poor relation.

I think it’s a great idea but sadly is likely to cause dissent. Goodness there’s dissent already.

. It won't be earth shattering news when the Queen dies

I hate to argue with you Joseanne wink but I think it will be worldwide news, if not exactly shattering, and yes, I agree it will open up a lot of debate not just on here.

Can we have a pleb section?

Yes I get you. It won't be shocking or unbelievable, but it will cause big rumbles and even eruptions in the media.

Anywhere but News & Politics, grin

I don't think that Harry can actually lose his 'royalness' can he?

Well, they could announce they just want to be known as plain Hazza and Megs Markle-Windsor.

Like the rest of us plebs
Although DH's family dropped the double-barrel years ago.

Should we be curtsying when you post on a thread Callistemon? grin

Ps DH's family were 'trade'
Presumably used the tradesmen's entrance

Callistemon21 Mon 18-Apr-22 12:42:54

No curtseying, my knees don't allow it.

But you'll have to let them back on News & Politics Maizie when Meghan becomes President of the US.

I'd be all for a Royal forum. After all the national newspapers so often print pictures and / or stories about the royal family, they must know that attracts a lot of readers.

Quite how many are GNetters, I'm not so sure, but there obviously are some, so why not?

In your world probably so.
