Well I do follow the royals and Anne works rather than keeping busy. Your arrogance reminds me of Anne’s famous remark about Meghan Markel’s whining: “She’s an American, isn’t she.” |
Camilla had bread rolls thrown at her. The public was vicious towards her. I think at this point they have a grudging respect for her for sticking it out despite the abuse. |
100% agree. If I read one more idiot remark whining about they were so sure Charles would pass the throne over to William… That was never, ever going to happen. No matter what some whiny American dope thinks. |
Centuries of precedence and reading lots and lots of articles on the matter. And even though we don't ever see the royal wills, it becomes pretty obvious in the subsquent years what happened. Here's just one of countless articles about it. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/13/business/prince-william-1-billion-inheritance/index.html |
+1. Just like the poster who thinks Anne, Andrew, and Edward are about to get rich off their mother. Not going to happen either. |
All the poster who claim the the royal family is aa irrelevant waste are too thick to understand that 75 pages prove them wrong. |
Some of these people get all their news from Twitter and TikTok and have never read an actual history book. |
There's over three times as many posts about the divorce of some random Christian "influencer" that most people (myself included) have never heard of. |
That post is 2 years old. This one is 5 days old. Give this one a few more days. |
Both William and Catherine have a Master of Arts degree (in different majors) under the British system. |
| I'm sure I'm older than the rest of you but the negative press any of the women associated with the monarchy receive has been horrible for so long it would stun you. The women, including the queen, have been scutinized and insulted for such petty things. It's is shocking to me that most people who post her believe most of the things the trash tabloids make up about the women. |
It’s also how the entire system of inheritance amongst British aristocrats works, not just for the Royal family. Primogeniture is a thing. The eldest son inherits the title and the estates and the vast majority of the assets to keep them running. It’s how the British have kept their family estates going all these years. If they had diluted their fortunes by distributing assets equally among all the children, the fortunes would have disappeared very quickly. Look at the Vanderbilts in the US. |
Not a particular fan of Charles, or of continuing the monarchy, but that’s a crass thing to say. The royal family’s job is to help the country mourn their sovereign. It must be incredibly challenging to go out with a smile on one’s face and comfort the public over the death of someone who was symbolic to them, while the family privately mourns someone who meant so much more to them. She was also 96. I am Jewish and when someone dies, friends and family make shiva calls. When the deceased is an elderly person with a life well lived- a sad and inevitable, but not shocking or tragic death- the shiva calls are not as morbid. There are smiles, there is conversation. Charles and the family have always known this day would come, and surely that level of preparation has helped them fulfill their roles here. |
He has broken out in tears on multiple occasions over the past few days, all caught on camera. So yes, while she lived a long life and they knew the end was coming, the loss of such a long personal relationship is very painful. |
Thank you. That is interesting |
