Bizarre.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Queen of Bhutan. She’s gorgeous.

I would really love to see a special where they pull clips together. If anyone has seen one, please share and thanks!

Probably every king/queen of Europe will be there. Limited seating is only allowing two from each country.

The grandsons all wore medals from the Queen’s jubilee’s. Harry had one more medal for service to Afghanistan. The youngest grandson wasn’t alive for the first jubilee so he only had two.

Why are the grandsons onl receiving those medals, why not the granddaughters?

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...

I see no tears.

What can I say? You aren't going to see American crying but, he is crying. Sorry your eye prescription is off.

+1 There are many men who were brought up not to cry in front of others. Shame on you for judging his grief based on the presence/absence of tears in public.

How can Americans be so clueless as to imagine that the the new King of England is going to blubber away, face streaked with tears in some grotesque display. The stiff upper lip is a British convention.

Not everyone has to behave as though they are on Oprah or being interviewed by Barbara Walters.

Now she’s gone, get rid of the rest of them. What a waste of our money. Why the medals being worn by these clowns, for doing what? A complete joke. They do not know the real life of hard working people and they pretend to. Thankfully managed to avoid most the press etc, but to disrupt people’s lives like this is incredible. She had such a luxurious life it was unbelievable. Her kids are something else. I am old enough to remember when Charles met his mother, he was about 4ish, after travelling by train (that is when they had a royal train) he had to shake her hand and not allowed to cuddle her.

Diana was frowned upon when she cuddled the boys after not seeing them for a while. How the royals when into hiding when Diana died as she had gone against them. How the queen cried when the royal Britannia was taken away from them. I could go on but somehow some people today think she has done a lot for them, like what?

Do you remember when The Harrods owner had a fall out with the royals and basically they were threatened to have the royal warrants removed from the store to which he said, take them all as he did not want any of them and had them removed instantly. Very funny. This guy was a lot wealthier than all of them. There is just so much about the firm we do not and will not know.

Now that William has been promoted, he has an increase of £25million, why? It’s our money and yet we get offered pennies at a time and have to be so grateful.

Become an American my friend. We figured this out hundreds of years ago.

Spain will have 3. That embarrassment of a former king has been invited.

Can someone explain the rationale/justification for exempting the inheritance of the sovereign’s estate from the 40% inheritance tax that applies to everyone else? Does the sovereign need so much independent wealth to avoid being beholden to any legislator and he truly independent? It doesn’t make sense from a legal or policy perspective.

When each of my parents died, it was expected and I wasn't really sobbing. When my dog died, it was a different matter. Strange how that is.
