The initial confusion was because the U.K. government has different rules for WAKES versus FUNERALS. Wakes are 15. Funerals are 30.


Gotcha.

How is this fascinating? Happens literally any time anything big happens with the RF. As your resident Edinburgh poster, I can tell you it's not happening any time soon.

I think its likely that Beatrice and Eugenie come just to take heat off Andrew who will definitely come. Fergie isn't coming.

The Tindalls should come but Zara just gave birth to an early baby like...two weeks ago so IDK.

Definitely Louise and James. No on Archie, Louis, Charlotte, and George.

Zara was up and taking walks a few hours after giving birth to the newest baby so that wouldn’t stop her from attending.


The funeral in Windsor is a 2-hour drive from her mother's home in Gatcombe. You think she'll drive with a nursing 2-week-old that far? I'm asking. Maybe they'll all fly. But technically she should be on bedrest, no?


Why should she be on bedrest?


Where you traveling 2-3 states away 2 weeks after giving birth? In a pandemic?


I went 4 states away. It really isn’t a big deal. Unless you had complications, bedrest after giving birth isn’t appropriate and just increases your risk of a blood clot.


Lay low rest then.

It's not the same as 2-3 states away and they are all likely vaccinated.

I mean they're all directly descended from the Mad King Georges of the 1700s - so its likely. And all the royals married family members up until...Queen Elizabeth II - so its even more likely that the genetic diseases were passed down.

Just like many of Victoria's descendants have Haemophilia - a blood disease. I think there are good number of royals today who still have it, but modern medicine and 'patient's rights' means its a secret from the public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_in_European_royalty


prince philip and the queen are related-they are both descendants of queen victoria.


Yes, I was including her. I guess a better way to word it 'They all married family members until Prince Charles'

I went to a friend’s wedding on the Eastern Shore when my oldest was 2-3 weeks. I would unquestionably have gone to my grandfather’s funeral.
