Why are they changing images on the currency, coins, mailboxes etc? Why not just have one image for the UK with images of whoever is Rex at the moment optional? Like commemorative coins and stamps here? Seems like a huge waste of money especially considering King Charles' age.

Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for posting that. Things do change.


What’s most noteworthy to me in this video is the coolness between William and Kate. There does not appear to be any love between them.

The royal family understand that people want to be able to do something tangible and it’s not writing a check. It ultimately helps engender support for the institution of the monarchy. Do you honestly think Charles and Camilla really wanted to do a walkabout and hug all those people yesterday?


The RF has already advised multiple times for people not to send flowers. Many of the flowers sent are also being donated.

Wow, so jaded and bitter. Yes, I think Charles has been wanting to do just that for a long, long time.

Uh, no. It's a collective gesture. People bond that way. It's not a cerebral thing, it's an emotional thing.

She was also not at the Diana statue unveiling. Maybe pass that because it’s public but why wouldn’t you be with your husband with his grandmother dying? Sophie and Camilla were there.


Because the Queen was already dead and they had just dropped the children off for the first day of school. She needed to be there to pick them up and be with them for all of the stuff that is about to follow. With the exception of William and Harry - who were/were now about to be the children of a King — no other grandchildren or great-grandchildren were there. It’s not nefarious - this is part of a very-long planned out national event which it sounds like moved very quickly and didn’t have as much notice as people had presumed would happen.

Sophie and Edward also have minor children. If they were already dropped off that makes even less sense as seems super easy to have Nanny Maria pick them up. It’s not like his grandmother dies every day seems kind of unhealthy to decline to be supportive for even one day for a school run. Either she didn’t care to go or he didn’t want her there.


Prince Edward is her actual child. William is her grandchild. His kids are her great grandchildren. So big difference.

I heard on the news that her children had gathered near at the end. Not the entire family.


It does not seem odd for a granddaughter-in-law to not show up at the bedside. What is a little odd is for the second son of the future king to not be able to travel to Scotland on the same military jet his brother took. Does it have to do with Harry not being able to use public resources? They couldn't stop being paranoid about whether he would share details about the experience or what people would say in his memoir? Harry should have been treated as an equal to William by his father in this particular private situation.


He was treated as an equal. maybe he didn’t want to go on the jet, or maybe he had a bad stomach or maybe he and Meghan were unsure of what to do and hesitated before the plane took off. Not sure why you jump to the conclusion that poor Harry was maligned when you literally have no idea.


Dp, but it does seem odd that it was announced to the press that Harry and merchants were in route, and then Harry showed up many hours later, alone, after the announcement was made.


*Harry and meghan


Here is how it actually went down:

Thanks for posting the article, PP

No way Kate made the decision whether or not to be there. She would certainly have done whatever was asked of her.

Seems like they had Kate stay back as a reason for why they could say Meghan shouldn't attend. It would seem equal. But clear why they wouldn't want her there after everything.


LOL

I'm watching Prince William right behind Duchess Meghan greeting the crowd together and my jaw dropped.

Did the royal family force anyone to bring flowers?
