Joe Terrapin Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 i think it was a stand in(and not a good one at that). I think she's dead already and they're doing what they did with the Queen Mother (a spitting image puppet was wheeled out for the cameras) They believe that news of Queenie's demise would be a step too far for the general british public in this biannus horribilis.

I would have hoped that brought a wee tear to even the most joyless of the hard nosed republicans. We will lose her soon, and what a loss she will be. Let’s celebrate her twilight years. Post your messages of tribute to our head of state on here. Long to reign over us. This post is missing "We are the people". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many on this forum who eagerly await your every utterance. He’s absolutely beelin that Lex had this idea for a post before he did. Anyway, Liz Windsor is the greedy, God-bothering, ruthlessly self-serving ringmaster of a freakshow, who has no real interests beyond further feathering her family’s nest.* *Though racing and killing animals come close. As royalist like to claim, she’s also the world’s best impressionist - not that they’ve seen her act. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having one of them abdicate in favour of another would be a very public admission that the system doesn’t work, God doesn’t choose, and it would be a concession to the attitudes of the proles.

It doesn’t work like that. The system is built on primogeniture. The second the old bat finally kicks the bucket, Charlie becomes king and a host of other things.

welshbairn Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 If he wanted to, Charlie could call himself King Arthur. His full name is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor (or Mountbatten-Windsor?), and he can pick whatever forename he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
