Bulk goes to the heir. But she’ll probably have her will sealed for 100 years like Philipp did.

This. Most of the monarch’s wealth comes from the Duchy of Lancaster, which is now under Charles. And yes the details will not be released.

This is incorrect. There is monarchy’s/crown wealth and personal wealth. She has made a fortune just by breeding horses, that was just one of her side gigs. Andrew and her other kids will be well taken care of without needing to rely on Charles. That’s why Harry is hanging around too.

I didn’t say all, I said bulk and that is 100% true. The others will get peanuts in comparison to Charles. Not saying they will be destitute. The adult kids will be fine for their remaining days - they are already 70’s and 60’s. The grandkids (apart from William) will get something, but not enough to set then up for life with no need for additional income.

That’s why Anne’s kids have always worked. And Edward and Sophie have said they are raising their children with the expectation that they will need to work. Or marry well.

Anne was intelligent enough to give her kids the freedom to do what they chose with their lives. Everyone has to work, 73 year old King Charles has been flying around the country and attending engagements non stop for the past 4 days with little time to mourn his parent. That’s brutal.

He seems happy.

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.

Yes they keep saying and showing he cried, but I have not yet seen one tear or teary eye.

If he doesn't cry in front of you than it doesn't exist eh? Well here it is...

That's not really working. And if you really think about it, the royals don't really work. And then there is wills and Kate who hardly do anything at all. Esp Kate.

No. That really is work on behalf of the United Kingdom

More than intelligence, Anne has the character, grace and work ethic of her mother. She is the one who will fill the Queen’s role as the heart of Britain as she quietly goes about her extensive duties with no complaint or fanfare. She was the first woman to stand at the Prince’s Vigil for her mother and accorded the Queen a deep curtsey as her body arrived in Edinburgh’s cathedral

Look for Anne to take a larger tile in support if Charles with her legendary competence and humility.

The Sussexes can return to their American celebrity while the true riyals soldier on.

Oh, come on. People like to tout Anne as "the hardest-working royal," but she isn't really working. She's keeping busy. She may deserve the title of "busiest royal" (I don't follow the royals enough to know the schedules), but appearing at ribbon-cuttings isn't work in the sense that she produces anything of value.

That is their entire job. None of the royals are sitting on the bench curing cancer. They don’t care if it displease you.

I'm American, so I am sure they DGAF. But at the point that you have to describe attending ribbon-cuttings as "a job," you've pretty much made it clear that the royals are a waste of resources. Older Britons may not be ready to give up the monarchy, but when Charles pops his clogs? Or William? Buh-bye.

I'm sure that's what you said before Queen Elizabeth died. So many on here were just so sure King Charles was never going to happen. Face it, you don't understand how any of this works or what the British people want. They don't care what you want as an American, 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.

It’s 75 pages long because there are some people from the UK very very invested in keeping this thread alive. To be frank people in the US have no interest in the Queen or the “monarchy”. It’s ridiculous actually.

Yet here you are.

This has all been public. Some people say she's lying and going the mental he as both route so she can't be criticized. Some people believe her.
I believe her stress but I'm kind of over it and tired of Harry's whining.

Sure it has been public but I am just wondering what people think of it. I know she can be criticized for other things, sure, but I just think it's really odd that people can see British tabloids attacking her relentlessly for her race, for years, and then say she is making up the mental health issues. And then say that Harry should't have complained about the press so much? I don't understand that reaction. We don't have proof of Meghan's mental state but we do have proof of how terrible the tabloids were, and we have proof that Diana died because of how tabloids acted.

She was not attacked relentlessly for her race. She was attacked because she was perceived as someone who didn't care to learn about the rules and traditions of a very old, very conservative institution she entered voluntarily, and for whining when things didn't go her way.

Dig you head out of your own ass and read the multitude of articles saying negative comments about her race or referring to her race in a derogatory way. You just make yourself look really stupid.

Bonus points though for calling the person with suicidal thoughts a liar. That's exactly what they tell you to say to them.

I don't believe she was having suicidal thoughts, and I don't believe "most" criticism of Meghan had to do with race.

+1. A lot of Meghan's perceived "slights" towards her and her children were not slights at all but standard, pre-established protocol that has been around longer than she has been alive. She did understand, nor care to understand this, and instead decided it was directed AT HER, when it wasn't. Harry did her no favors by agreeing with her rather than explaining how titles/security/order of prededence works. Catherine was always going to be seated ahead of her by official Order of Precedence, and the same is true of Catherine's children. This has nothing to do with race, but simple birth order.

+2. The press was awful to Camilla and Kate for years too. It’s not like Meghan is special in this regard.

I don’t think that the Meghan hate can be compared to Camilla
I also do not think that Kate ever had to go through what Meghan is experiencing

The Brittish are just strange. If it was any other person they would very much admit that obviously one person cannot be all fault, and no one person can be no fault

So they hate her because she is not Brittish, not one of them, a grown woman who also wants to keep some of her independence, still has dreams.
A woman like Kate who was in college to find a husband and whose only interest is to be a wife would never suit Harry

perhaps if you had gone to college like Kate (who has the highest level of education out of all 4 of them) you would know how to spell British

Both William and Catherine have a Master of Arts degree (in different majors) under the British system.

I was curious about this, so I did some research. In Scotland, undergraduate degrees take 4 years, longer than the 3 years for most English undergraduate degrees. The weird thing, though, is that a Scottish MA is the equivalent of our Bachelor of Arts in the U.S. There is no "BA" in Scotland. A four year undergraduate on the Arts track earns an MA and a four year undergraduate on the Sciences track earns a B.Sc. Weird.

What’s weird about it? They use different words for lots of things. Garden/yard, loo/toilet, rubbish/garbage, etc.

This is on keeping with DCUM
Posters trying to change every aspect of British government, law, funeral practices, inheritance and tax laws, and anything in theyr oarichial world that they consider “weird.”

It used to be (I think it may have changed) that Oxford granted an MA to anyone who had received a bachelor's degree. They just assumed that a certain number of years after you graduated, you had learned enough to deserve a master's. (There was also the MPhil for people who did actual academic work.)

Right. It's a little odd when the hyper-royalists tout Kate's MA without realizing that it's an undergraduate degree. Doubly funny when they bring it up vis-a-vis Meghan's pedigree, considering Meghan has a degree from Northwestern.

The politician and author said they never imagined that happening. “And so, I’ve got Malia, who at that point is eleven, Sasha who is eight, and my mother-in-law, who was a stay-at-home mom and a secretary for a bank —who lived on the south side of Chicago her whole life, sitting there with the Queen of England,” he said, adding Her Majesty wanted to treat them like royalty.

“And then she insists that the girls take her golden carriage, which I guess she uses for jubilees, on a long drive through the Palace grounds. None of this was ever reported. It was just something that she did quietly.”

Interesting facts about how the Queen treated the Obama family.

I love this story, but could you please give us the source for it? Looks like it's excerpted from a news article or something--? Thanks! I'd like to read the whole thing.

This. Most of the monarch’s wealth comes from the Duchy of Lancaster, which is now under Charles. And yes the details will not be released.

This is incorrect. There is monarchy’s/crown wealth and personal wealth. She has made a fortune just by breeding horses, that was just one of her side gigs. Andrew and her other kids will be well taken care of without needing to rely on Charles. That’s why Harry is hanging around too.

I didn’t say all, I said bulk and that is 100% true. The others will get peanuts in comparison to Charles. Not saying they will be destitute. The adult kids will be fine for their remaining days - they are already 70’s and 60’s. The grandkids (apart from William) will get something, but not enough to set then up for life with no need for additional income.

That’s why Anne’s kids have always worked. And Edward and Sophie have said they are raising their children with the expectation that they will need to work. Or marry well.

Anne was intelligent enough to give her kids the freedom to do what they chose with their lives. Everyone has to work, 73 year old King Charles has been flying around the country and attending engagements non stop for the past 4 days with little time to mourn his parent. That’s brutal.

He seems happy.

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.

It just looks petty and vindictive on the part of the royals.

Yes the military rules and laws of the UK permit Andrew to wear his uniform and not Harry. What do you find so surprising? These laws have been on the books for decades, not implemented to spite Harry. Harry knows this and continues to stomp his foot like a toddler.

First of all, there is zero evidence that Harry is stomping his foot. All of this drama is being stirred up by the media and continued by people, like us, discussing it online. Second, the part that is surprising is that Andrew--a disgraced sex abuser--is permitted to wear his uniform but Harry isn't. Their circumstances are not the same.

But then again, it's all a bunch of costumes for show anyway. The fact that the royals hand out military titles and honors like candy make it pretty clear that none of it actually means anything. I guess they have to keep up the charade so that people continue to believe that they are special.

Other than the 10-minute "Vigil of the Princes" (standing around the coffin for 10 minutes) - Andrew isn't allowed to wear his either.

Bulk goes to the heir. But she’ll probably have her will sealed for 100 years like Philipp did.

This. Most of the monarch’s wealth comes from the Duchy of Lancaster, which is now under Charles. And yes the details will not be released.

This is incorrect. There is monarchy’s/crown wealth and personal wealth. She has made a fortune just by breeding horses, that was just one of her side gigs. Andrew and her other kids will be well taken care of without needing to rely on Charles. That’s why Harry is hanging around too.

I didn’t say all, I said bulk and that is 100% true. The others will get peanuts in comparison to Charles. Not saying they will be destitute. The adult kids will be fine for their remaining days - they are already 70’s and 60’s. The grandkids (apart from William) will get something, but not enough to set then up for life with no need for additional income.

That’s why Anne’s kids have always worked. And Edward and Sophie have said they are raising their children with the expectation that they will need to work. Or marry well.

Anne was intelligent enough to give her kids the freedom to do what they chose with their lives. Everyone has to work, 73 year old King Charles has been flying around the country and attending engagements non stop for the past 4 days with little time to mourn his parent. That’s brutal.

That's not really working. And if you really think about it, the royals don't really work. And then there is wills and Kate who hardly do anything at all. Esp Kate.

No. That really is work on behalf of the United Kingdom

More than intelligence, Anne has the character, grace and work ethic of her mother. She is the one who will fill the Queen’s role as the heart of Britain as she quietly goes about her extensive duties with no complaint or fanfare. She was the first woman to stand at the Prince’s Vigil for her mother and accorded the Queen a deep curtsey as her body arrived in Edinburgh’s cathedral

Look for Anne to take a larger tile in support if Charles with her legendary competence and humility.

The Sussexes can return to their American celebrity while the true riyals soldier on.

Oh, come on. People like to tout Anne as "the hardest-working royal," but she isn't really working. She's keeping busy. She may deserve the title of "busiest royal" (I don't follow the royals enough to know the schedules), but appearing at ribbon-cuttings isn't work in the sense that she produces anything of value.

That is their entire job. None of the royals are sitting on the bench curing cancer. They don’t care if it displease you.

I'm American, so I am sure they DGAF. But at the point that you have to describe attending ribbon-cuttings as "a job," you've pretty much made it clear that the royals are a waste of resources. Older Britons may not be ready to give up the monarchy, but when Charles pops his clogs? Or William? Buh-bye.

I'm sure that's what you said before Queen Elizabeth died. So many on here were just so sure King Charles was never going to happen. Face it, you don't understand how any of this works or what the British people want. They don't care what you want as an American, 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.

It’s 75 pages long because there are some people from the UK very very invested in keeping this thread alive. To be frank people in the US have no interest in the Queen or the “monarchy”. It’s ridiculous actually.

Yet here you are.

+1 😂

+2 I am an American and you don’t speak for me.

I have to agree. I know there are “rules” but somehow those rules permit Andrew to wear his but not Harry? Andrew isn’t a working royal and was stripped of his medals due to his sexual misconduct! It just looks petty and vindictive on the part of the royals.

Yes the military rules and laws of the UK permit Andrew to wear his uniform and not Harry. What do you find so surprising? These laws have been on the books for decades, not implemented to spite Harry. Harry knows this and continues to stomp his foot like a toddler.

First of all, there is zero evidence that Harry is stomping his foot. All of this drama is being stirred up by the media and continued by people, like us, discussing it online. Second, the part that is surprising is that Andrew--a disgraced sex abuser--is permitted to wear his uniform but Harry isn't. Their circumstances are not the same.

But then again, it's all a bunch of costumes for show anyway. The fact that the royals hand out military titles and honors like candy make it pretty clear that none of it actually means anything. I guess they have to keep up the charade so that people continue to believe that they are special.

He issued a completely unnecessary statement, when all details were already known, with petty wording like “not wearing a uniform does not take away from my decade of military service.”

Yes Harry is butt hurt that exceptions are not being made for him.
