Another big royal to-do today. It was speculated that Kate would finally be inducted to this robe society this year, but that didn’t happen. Maybe next year!

Is that Rose's son again? I can see why they didn't want to induct her this year after six months off, even if those six months were completely justified.

The BRF is taking a lot of flak about meaningless "chocolate" medals for just showing up to events, perhaps they need to tone it down?

Pictured are Rose's Hanbury's son and one grandson of Camilla. Rose's husband is a very good friend of King Charles and works for him. Camilla's two sisters also attended her and Princess
Anne had the role of Gold Stick to Charles, an unprecedented role for a woman, while MP member and Leader of the House of Commons, Penny Mordaunt, by carrying two ceremonial swords. Again, an unprecedented role for a woman. The times they are a changing---

Thanks for filling in the details!

When they are gone -- as Charles will likely be -- the monarchy will be down to William making some appearances at things like opening Parliament and approving the next Prime Minsiter. Many of the patronages and charities are already being cut out of royal sponsorship and that will continue. William and Catherine have already said they will work on fewer charities and patronages rather than many as the family has done in in the past.

For now, Camilla Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie are doing a lot of the ribbon cutting activities, although Sophie has really become a force in stopping international trafficking as has Camilla in stopping dometic violence.

Catherine is their for the glamour and what appears to be authenticity. Her projects, like much of our work, does not require face time with charities. William does a lot of face time but he also does a lot behind the scenes for his work.

Bottom line: British monarchy is shrinking with purpose and slowly disappearing from UK life. When the boomers are gone, it will likely become a republic, given the populist movement worldwide.

Agree the monarchy is shrinking in numbers (no Andrew, Harry, Meghan or other lesser royals) and that’s a wise thing. It doesn’t necessarily translate to cutting out so many there’s less work for those that remain. Other European royal families do charity work and I can’t really see William and Kate cutting back all that much.

Off-topic, but I love Sophie.

I really can’t see a future where all William does is open parliament and Kate only shows up to events that require a tiara. In fact, as you say, Kate is there for the glamor, but if nobody sees her then there’s no glamor.

You might be right about a move to a republic is inevitable. It will happen faster, though, if complaints about “workshy William” and “Princess Doolittle” (after she’s better) accelerate.

Your description of Workshy William and Princess Doolittle betrays your ignorance about the Royal family and both of them. But then -- George Washington famously said: "I did not defeat George I to become George III," so I am not sure why Americans are so fascinated about the monarchy. Could it be that they are stuck with a doddering old man who has to be lead around by his wife the esteemed D.Ed. and his vice president who spews enough word salad to keep Green Leaf in business for months.

I don't see that but thanks for the heads up. Not worth reporting.

I don't think they were impersonating me because I never said Kate shouldn't have to work again after she recovers.

Bumping this in the hopes of maintaining a real discussion not just having to page through trolling

Ugh. But this is a thread for DMV moms and we can talk about what we want.

wow! its SO hard being diagnosed with cancer whilst living in castles and never having to worry about how you'll be able to pay for the treatment or if a doctor will actually see you in a country where, you know...…..the backlog to see a dentist for kids is * wait for it* 18 months. Poor Kate.
