You are naïve if you think they are the ones who are doing the changing. They have strict protocols and staff that I have to carry those title changes out. |
It’s almost like he got the job as soon as she died. Which is the only way for the job to be handed down. |
Seriously. Incredibly crass. Just yesterday they had immediately changed their title and handle to Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. It's despicable, really. |

It's amazing how much history people don't know. |

Yes, the living monarchy fuels tourism dollars. This is just one of several links supporting it. I mean, people buy spoons and cookie tins and collector plates with the BRF on them. Their weddings and funerals drive tourism and commemorative memorabilia. It’s not just the castles, people. As if. |
Ah, yes, the formidable… [merch? spoon and cookie tins?] industry of the United Kingdom! Give me a break. The royal family is most certainly a net loss when it comes to tax dollars for the average UK citizen. |
| Why exactly does he uphold the Church only in Scotland? He's also the head of the Anglicans, no? |
| So will the kids now be the Wales children at school (like William and Harry were as kids) or will they remain the Cambridge children? |

I would think so, might as well adapt to it. |
This is…how this works. There isn’t a cooling off period before you inherit. The Queen died, he is now the King. Same with the Duchy. Have you never read ANY historical books about England? Trashy historical romance novels? Something?! |
Not as despicable as your lack of basic knowledge. If you know nothing about how any of this works, why are you so interested in it? |
No one is talking about them acknowledging the titles with decorum. We’re talking about changing their social media handles twice in 24 hours. |
And that matters to you why? They have staff that oversee it and manage it. You could just not follow any of it and look away if it bothers you so much. |
