Hedgecutter Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I reckon interest in the royal family might get a boost in the arm when Lizzie pops her clogs. For the vast majority of posters on here, all they've known the monarch to be is the same boring old lady who supposedly gives a speech at Christmas, likes staycations, horses and corgi toys (or something like that), and an actual coronation for King Charlie might make things remotely interesting for an afternoon. He might not be any more exciting, but at least it's a change (the Stephen Glass moment of the recent monarchy). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie had a ceremony in Edinburgh after the Westminster coronation where the honours of Scotland were presented to her (our Crown is older than the English one because it was hidden from Cromwell). My old man told me there was criticism at the time as she turned up dressed quite ordinarily "like a wifie with a handbag" which was seen as a bit of an insult to Scotland. Phil the Greek is in dress uniform though if you look at photos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d execute the fucking lot of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're supposed to learn from history, so maybe just behead those that are involved in pedo activity. Anyone left can join the queue to sell the Big Issue or work for Wetherspoons pubs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of them are utter charlatans, my maw is a big royalist but hates Charles for his antics with Diana. Obviously him getting married to a 17 year old will be brought up when he becomes king which won't be a good look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 To be honest I have no issue with them, as a monarch the Queen seems to be the best there has ever been (in my limited knowledge of the history of the monarchy). Any issue I do have is more to do with the hangers on out-with the immediate family and the gammons who idolise them in a creepy way. If I met the queen or any high ranking royals I'd look forward to it and would show them respect accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
