Queen Elizabeth may never return to her royal duties

[quote] She will remain walled in the castle for the rest of her life.

Hopefully behind some bricked up doorways.

WTF r1? What did she ever do to you?

You sound like you're a serial killer.

and keep the black princess away from me. Lord knows what she's carrying.

I'm also staying home until there's a vaccine.

If there's one reliable news source, it's the US Sun! Thanks, OP!

This is pretty much what awaits Big Liz:

(With the world economy crashing, her lifelong grafting off public funds will be called into account.)

But she still make royal doodies in her panties.

“her Royal Highness”

Oh, dear

Welfare Queen.

She's 94 for fuck's sake. On the one hand, it hardly seems like some big tragedy if she retires from all but video appearances. And on the other hand, something's gotta take her out sometime, so if she wants keep appearing in the flesh, why not let her take her chances?

Liz will spend the rest of her days making prank phone calls to Harry & Meg, asking if they have Prince Albert in a can.

That’s the last time I ever allow a Yankee inside these walls!

If this is true, Harry and Meg might genuinely never see the Queen ever again in person. If they come to the UK and want to see her they would likely have to quarantine for 2 -4 weeks at least before they would be allowed to visit her. I can't see Meghan being willing to do that, especially because she seems not to want to bring Archie back to the UK at all, much less for weeks at a time during which they'd be cooped up in a house on quarantine. Maybe Harry would be willing to do that on his own, but that's a far longer visit than he seems up for.

The Queen is not Her Royal Highness, she's Her Majesty. She continues to perform ALL her royal duties while quarantined, and she'll return to Buckingham Palace when London re-opens and there's a reliable test for antibodies.

Good all that is missing is a guilhotine.

How will the state opening of Parliament be handled if she's still in quarantine?

Charles will attend in her stead, I imagine.

R1 Only one who needs to be put behind a brick wall is Rachel.

She wouldn't think to let this virus keep her from returning to her full duties when it's safe to do so. She accepted the job for life. End of.

God save the Queen....that would be John Lydon and the original Sex Pistols lineup. Sid wasn’t part of that. That junkie couldn’t even play the bass.

There's no such thing as a Queen, God doesn't recognize her as such a thing. Ole Elizabeth is nothing more then a socialite. She no different then Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, they are all over privileged girls who grew up to be socialites, nothing more.

Surely there is some plague protection wear from the royal collection that she could wear. They could also put her in one of those medical sealed bubbles so that she could travel around for her subjects to see her and have hope.

A socialite is not going to give anyone hope which is what Elizabeth is. Now if she gives the people some money that might help, but her being seen is not enough. She's just a socialite pretending to be a Queen.

She's really just a celebrity just like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. She is a socialite, nothing more. Just a socialite.

R21/R23 is on crack.

[quote]There's a US Sun?

Who new?

R24 But she is a damn socialite. That's all she is, is a socialite. Just a wannabe Movie Star Socialite thing.

R25 Why yes. There is a Us Sun. Rupert Murdoch owns the sun. What a coincidence.

She could always go and live out the pandemic in a couple of her colonies (Australia and/or New Zealand) that are on the brink of eliminating the virus.

Let that parasite rot behind those walls.

Americans get all upset. King George and all that.

Well my 85 year old mom is doing the same thing. She's a shut-in until there is some vaccine. I feel very sorry for her and I wonder if I were in her shoes what I'd do. Part of me says fuck it, if that's all there is left, staring at the same walls every day, I'd just rather take my chances. That's a personal decision, obvs.

Was your mom very active before?

r23 is sounding unhinged. We love our Queen thank you very much. More dignity, gumption and class than YOUR head of state Donny Trump can ever exhibit so fuck off will you?

Yes R32. She still drives, had an active social life and was involved in her church, etc. All her friends are shut-ins now. She hasn't seen anyone in person but me and my sister for more than two months.

My mom is 90 and still goes to the store every day. I asked her if she wears gloves and a mask and she said "Oh be serious".

It must be hard on her. I was kind of hoping she's the type of elderly person who doesn't go far from home. By that age (long before Corona) my parents were happy campers with medical appointments, grocery shopping and TV.

It is hard on her R36. You sound like a nice person.

Unsurprisingly the queen has been stepping back anyway, with Charles substituting at investitures, the State opening of Parliament etc - this would just be slightly increasing the process.

The "Queen Elizabeth is nothing more than a socialite" troll could never correctly answer a question as simple as "Who is Britain's Head of State?"

R13, if they cared about seeing Harry’s gran in person, they would have gone to see her more when they were in England. I’m pretty sure they consider her just a stuffy old nag and she’s taking too long to die. They need that inheritance money like, yesterday.

I'm sure that Meghan will not be crying into her organic muesli over never seeing the Queen again, r40, and does indeed regard her as a "Stuffy old nag who needs to die so we can inherit."

But Harry was genuinely close to her. She stepped in after Diana's death and partially raised both of the brothers, and through their teens had them come to spend summers with her at Balmoral. William and Harry have probably spent more time with her than her own children did. One of her biographers said that she's closer to them than she even was to her own children, owing to the tragic circumstances and to the fact that by the nineties, much of the traditional stuffiness which had caused distance between parents and children had been relatively abandoned by the Windsors.

If Harry never sees her again, I can't imagine he'd be fine with that. She's been an important rock in his life.

Omg, time for Queen Camilla?

R2 She gave off very negative vibes during the opening ceremony of the Olympic games 2012.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Jeepers R43 she tags along with James Bond, jumps out of a helicopter... what MORE do you want from her?

R3 is truly full of shit.

For the idiot Americans who think the Queen is just a socialite and no different from the Kardashians: she's the head of state and the embodiment of the state.

There are homeless people all over London (and Paris, and Rome) now because of the migrant crisis, r44. When I was growing up there were no homeless people anywhere in London.

It was kind of Britain to let them in at all: where they come from they'd have been killed. The huge numbers of people who never paid into the system arriving and taking out of the system are breaking the NHS, and the housing and benefits system, but go ahead, criticise away. And make sure you make the Queen responsible for it all.

R44, that happens in every major world city. Rich and poor, cheek by jowl.

That isn't a castle idiot at r44 and while it's sad that those people are homeless, the reason for that isn't the Queen or even poverty but those people's own decision to enter the UK, usually illegally.

If Harry never sees the Queen again r41 then that's entirely his own fault.

R50, who gives a shit if it’s a palace or a castle (yes I know the difference but in this case, it’s meaningless); also, you don’t know if these people are here legally or illegally. Finally, no compassion for the elderly women sleeping in the street? Got it. I know exactly the kind of person you are.

R48 yes, blame the Queen. The bitch hoarding 100 billion in wealth while human beings sleep like dogs in the street. It's cruel antihuman elitism, simple.

Queen Elizabeth will return to -very visible- public duty at Buckingham Palace the moment her doctors give her the green light.

She considers it her duty, and she’s a tough broad. Those Windsor women are strong as an ox.

R50, you deliberately said castle to make it sound more like it's cut off from society and is a fortress to keep the people out.

The article you link to says they're migrants. From the photos, I'd say they're Roma (i.e. gypsies) and hence are generally messy anyway.

No moron at r53, the Queen isn't to blame for other people's situations.

R48 a fraction of the money the parasite queen has taken from the treasury to enhance her personal wealth would end the homeless and revitalize the National Health, but the cunt clearly does not give a fuck.

She has 4-5 drinks a day and otherwise cleans out her shed. What fucking duties?

[quote]it's sad that those people are homeless, the reason for that isn't the Queen or even poverty but those people's own decision to enter the UK, usually illegally

^^^ Found the rightwing piece of shit

She can still get it inside the castle 🏰 from Philip’s semen!

Oh please go bitch about income disparity in your own country. We have our issues but the Queen isnt one of them. She is a Monarch and Constitutional Head and has kept her shit together longer than we have been alive. Still better than the plutocracy the US has now become. Our Queen is a national treasure so cunt off right back to wherever you came from. Who do you blame for the homelessness in Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago? Dont remember these regions having a constitutional monarch?

R45 She could have smiled and waved to the audience when making her entrance. Instead, she looked utterly PISSED.

R60 I did not blame the bitter cunt parasite for homelessness, I merely pointed out that the welfare queen can return some of her treasure to help and the uncaring cunt will not do that. Most every country is better than the US.

This does not mean that the parasite of England should still be given money for waving and being a drunk.

Wow, what a lazy old bag!

"Liz will spend the rest of her days making prank phone calls to Harry & Meg"

"Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Well you better let him out- he can't breathe!"

Queen? I didn't vote for her.

And as for any historical claim or lineage from an earlier monarch, listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at your ancestor. If I went around sayin' I was an emperor just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!

Now we see the violence inherent in the system.

She could spend her time making some tarts, all on a summer's day.

This woman is a damn power socialite, I don't care what anyone says. She is a socialite and I bet she'd be willing to hangout with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian if they reached out to her.

She is still a socialite and nothing more. British have lost their minds. This woman is not a prime minister or president, she needs to be removed immediately for playing games in the fucking government and stealing money from the poor. And she eats babies too. This woman is dangerous and she is still a socialite, so why is she the head of state for the UK? I don't like this shit at all. She must be removed at once.

R48, not sure where in London you have been but there have always been a lot of homeless people there. Did you never see the down and outs along the South Bank? My Dad was a Londoner and would have talked of the homeless people he would have seen back in the day too.

Time for her to retire anyway. The pope did it, so you can retire now too, Liz. Let Charles have a few good years as king while he's still fit and healthy.

Don't let Charles have a thing. End the Monarchy return the money and go be a cunt that has to get a job or end up homeless herself.

R39, they don't even know the definition of "socialite."

Jeezus. You could at least learn what a word means before you attempt to throw it around as an insult.

R59 I have also heard that they are still “quite active”!

I doubt anyone has fucked the queen in decades.

There are other means of semenal delivery 🚚

No r58, I'm not a right-wing piece of shit and stop projecting American neuroses on other parts of the world.

R68, I've chatted with homeless people in London and the reason they were homeless had nothing to do with poverty.

R67, the Queen is the head of state. I suspect your little pea brain can't grasp that concept, though.

R65, in many countries the head of state is not directly elected and if we had a referendum in the UK as to whether to keep or abolish the monarchy, keeping the monarchy would win in a landslide.

If the queen retires now, it just shows the burden Harry and Markle have placed on the other members of the royal family.

Elizabeth is a socialite, enough said.

[quote] She wouldn't think to let this virus keep her from returning to her full duties when it's safe to do so. She accepted the job for life.

Which is rapidly coming to a close!

Yeah, Markle is worse than Koo Stark and Wallis combined. Bet the Queen Mother is rolling in her grave

Queen Elizabeth should pull a Kim Jong Un, and see what everyone does.

Bye, bitch!

Oh, yeah, R79? How so?

Eat. My. Asshole!

Love,

Meghan!

The socialite troll must be confusing Elizabeth and Margaret.

The socialite troll thinks it's found a clever angle but is actually a complete idiot.

It's funny seeing DLers bending over backwards trying to justify this acronystic leach.

If I had all her jewels, I wouldn't go out, either. I would just stay home and wear them all.

Acronystic. R88 exists in a SNAFU world.

r90 is posting from 1750.

That doesn't even make sense.

[quote]It's funny seeing DLers bending over backwards trying to justify this acronystic leach.

Better known to most of us as Cary Grant, of course.

Her Maj should throw open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the homeless and immigrants and give all her money away to the poor and unemployed.

And how much of your income do you give away to the poor R94?

Lemme guess, you're on disability.

R86 No, I'm talking about socialite Elizabeth. Not her crazy dead sister Margaret. They were both socialites, but Elizabeth likes to pretend to be a fucking "Queen" when we all know she's not and that she's just playing one and faking it.

Miss Elizabeth is a socialite and not the Q word thing.

Lol r96, you are beyond stupid.

The illiterate trolls are kind of fun.

It doesn't seem unreasonable, though if she needs to stay away from the public, so does Charles as he's high risk too, which leaves Kate & Wills. Since we'll be dealing with this for awhile, it will be interesting to see how the royals keep up some sort of public profile when their whole shtick involves crowds, parades, shaking hands, etc. - shit they won't be doing anytime soon. Plus, the UK is bound to experience an economic downturn, making the commoner even more grumpier about paying for royals. It's a good thing that Harkles got out when they did or they'd really piss everyone off and make life harder for the rest of the BRF

{quote] It's funny seeing DLers bending over backwards trying to justify this acronystic leach.

Did you mean "anachronistic leech"? LOL

Sounds like somebody just learned how to spell the word 'socialite.'

Too bad they didn't learn the definition, too.

This is a Meghan troll thread. Just ignore them and, hopefully, they'll go away.

Harry & Meghan should hold a huge press conference and declare themselves “The King & Queen of England in the United States”

Harry can be the dauphin, r103.

They’d have to fight Whorevanka and her gay husband for that title.

Queen Elizabeth is the head of state. Not a socialite. She hated Jackie O, so don’t know how much she gets along with that type of vapid airhead.

You know, like you, The Queen is a Socialite Troll.

R65 Please give Monty Python their due when quoting them.

YES, ELIZABETH IS A SOCIALITE!!!!!!

AND SHE EATS BABIES TOO. SHE IS NOT A SILLY "QUEEN."

A SOCIALITE TODAY, A SOCIALITE TOMORROW, A SOCIALITE FOREVER!!!!

IM NOT FOOLED BY HER AND NEITHER IS ANYONE OTHER SANE PERSON.

She's a Killer Queen.

Do you think Prince Charles is planning to freeze her head. It's all the rage among the idle rich these days, due to the New Plague.

Charles already had the corona and recovered, R99! Do try to keep up.

R109, how much do you think that will cost?

R110, obviously he know the BRF at all! What a poser!

I hope she's okay. yeah, she's just one of those people. Never met her, never will, but she's just one of those people in the world I hope is okay.

Mary!

If HM withdraws into confinement, it sets up an odd form of Regency where Charles would be taking up the yoke of the sovereign without any of the authority.

But it makes the final step to full Regency less cumbersome. Or the reign of CIII.

Ultimately HM can do as she pleases. These are her prerogatives.

So does this mean she’s letting Charlie finally have the throne?

yeah, honestly, England has been down that road before r115. I don't think it would be all that disruptive. If Charles met with some Prime Ministers instead of Elizabeth I don't think the UK would fall apart.

r116, no.

That Little Momma will cut herself a bitch with that blade she keeps in her royal handbag.

King Charles very soon.

maybe r120. I think the world will pause and be very sad when Queen Elizabeth is dead. And then, like oh about a thousand years, everyone will get on with their day. But I'll miss her. She's the only world leader who was around when I was born. It will be weird. No Queen Elizabeth. Weird.

what exactly are her duties again?

being queen of england, dear.

Question for the room from America: Has the UK accepted Charles as their next Sovereign?

Because Barron Trump will be graduating from college soon.

don't think they have a choice r124. he is or he ain't. it ain't an election.

I think it is good that the Queen is finally getting to retire with her husband, I want her final years to be ones of privacy and peace, something she's never had in her entire life.

A cucumber sandwich and a spot of tea would hit the spot whilst One anonymously rings Meghan to ask her if she has Prince Albert in a can.

R121 she was on the throne when my PARENTS were born. She's like a human Mt. Rushmore. Always there.

I know, r129. It's weird and kind of wonderful at the same time. She has been there forever. There was a friggin British Empire when she was born. She was almost Empress of India. It's a whole thing, and I love it.

Her mother lived to be 101 so I wouldn't count on Elizabeth dying for at least a few more years yet.

That woman is a damn SOCIALITE, she's not fooling anyone.

Fuckin faker.

excuse you r132. the socialites flock to her. she does not need to socialize with anyone.

Exactly. The "Queen is just a socialite!!" Megstan doesn't even realise that when you're the top of the pile you don't need to socialise.

ruh roh the meg people!

Socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite socialite

Is what Elizabeth is. And we all know it.

wow r136, just wow. please calm down.

They should just embalm her already, then prop her up like Eva Peron. She looks pretty dead anyway.

She looks amazing, r138. And her recent speeches have been among her very best.

why r138, what exactly pisses you off? what is it? what do you dislike? what is your deal?

"It's funny seeing DLers bending over backwards trying to justify this acronystic leach."

Oh, dear, R88. You know what's funny? You probably mean "anachronistic," since "acronystic" isn't a word.

I did not jump out of the helicopter, actually.

More breaking news:

socialite (noun): a socially prominent person. queen (noun): a female monarch.

Actually, R138, she doesn't look "pretty dead." She looks pretty good, especially for 94.

R140 how about you jump up my ass and fight for air. You are a psycho.

Are the royal courtiers posting on here. What the fuck. The Queen is 94 and still cleaning up and covering for her 60 year old sons crap. Their is nothing noble or amazing about that. The monarchy is tanking. Number one reason Andrew. No matter how many articles or threads are pointed elsewhere.

From Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Elizabeth: biographical name

Eliz·​a·​beth | i-ˈli-zə-bəth Definition of Elizabeth name of 2 English (British) queens: I 1533–1603 daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (reigned 1558–1603); II 1926–     Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; daughter of George VI (reigned 1952–    )

Actually, R146, you're wrong. It isn't tanking. This is a poll in February published in yougov.uk.

Do you think that Britain should continue to have a monarchy, or not?

It should: 62% It should not: 22% Don't know: 16%

The queen may self-isolate, but she isn't giving up the throne. She's of the generation that lived through the abdication of King Edward VIII, later Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor. The BRF almost lost everything, Elizabeth will not abdicate or give up her role even if she gives up some duties. And if there is a vaccine, Lilibet will be back out among the public even if on a limited basis.

And next year, Liz is removing the Harkles "HRH" styles. Not only saying they can't use the styles, but stripping HRH away from them so they don't have them any longer..

[quote] She will remain walled in the castle for the rest of her life.

The real question is will George remain in the closet?

No, in fact, she will NOT remain walled in the castle for the rest of her life. God, what fucking morons are on this thread.

Does anyone know of any socialites that sign bills, have laws written and happen to be in charge of over 60 countries and about one billion people?

Didn't think so. The Klan Granny Troll has learned a new word (or rather phrase) and entered yet another phase. First it accuses random people they don't even know of being racist, now its spouting malapropisms and word salad.

[quote]I'll never forget reading about the homeless people who sleep just feet away from the Queen in her castle. Utter trash

That's very disrespectful of them to do that near the Queen's residence. There are plenty of spaces that are more appropriate.

what a drama queen

This welfare queen and the rest of her benefits scrounging family should all be sent to hell.

[quote]This welfare queen and the rest of her benefits scrounging family should all be sent to hell.

Go get ordained by God himself to rule a country as she did and then maybe your rant could carry some weight.

How many Welfare Queens pay their own taxes even when they aren't legally required to?

R157 She sucks up the tax money and returns a pittance. Are you seriously defending this parasite?

It's interesting: in threads earlier this year, posters criticized QEII for not stripping their HRH when they first departed, but since that time, they've become so unsympathetic and generally loathed she could do it now & not look like the bad guy. I guess there is a benefit in playing the long game...

It always makes me laugh how people who have such negative feelings towards QEII also have the least basic grasp of what she is or does. These people who hate her so much have never been to the UK and have no clue about how our country works.

Bullshit R60.

I think it is precisely because we know how the country works that we see what a leech she is.

R158 there is half a Czech troll farm pushing pro monarchy anti Sussex crap on another site. That info came from one of the sites employees.

"She sucks up the tax money and returns a pittance"

- Who, ME?

R158 I hate her but she is great for tourism. She’s like a mascot for Britain.

She can still sit inside her limo and do the Queen Wave.

The Queen could dissolve all the monasteries and live off the proceeds.

What monasteries? The last destructive Harry took care of those quite nicely.

Does anyone know if the Kardashians have to bow 🙇‍♀️ to Meghan & Harry?

She’s taken up fisting and has invited HRH Erna to tea!

Today I scrolled down the entire Daily Mail website and was so happy there finally was no article about either Harry nor Meghan.

No, r168. Meghan has to bow to HER queen Kim.

And then beg her for pointers.

People who attack the Queen because, so they allege, the monarchy sucks up taxpayer money but at the same time support the parasites Harry and Markle and insist on calling them by the royal name the Queen gave them and think we should be in awe of Markle because she is a Duchess (thanks to the Queen) are really quite dumb.

R170, that's actually bad news for Harry and Markle because they need all the media coverage they can get to stay relevant.

It's true, isn't it, r172.

If the Harkles want to get straight with the Psychopathic Megstans, then the P. Megstans MUST campaign for the Harkles to drop their titles.

Otherwise all the P. Megstan's wishes (on this board, not least) for the Queen to die would seem nonsensical.

Wouldn't they.

Stop lying R122 I do not support Meghan or her idiot husband, the ENTIRE royal family are useless parasites. But this thread is about the Queen of useless cunts.

R162 why would a Czech troll farm have any anti-monarchy interests in Britain?

Oh stop picking on the Queen.

I used to think the British monarchy was an anachronistic pile of shit, until I lived in the UK for a year. There are clear advantages to having the roles of head of government and head of state being held by two different people and having them pass to a successor under two different systems.

The advantages are not so clear when you are immersed your entire life in that system. And it is not something I ever could have understood until I left my own home in the US and experienced a new way of handling things. America suffers greatly under a man like Donald Trump or George W. Bush because these two very different roles are invested in one office holder.

I lived in the UK in 1988 and 1989. And not for a moment since that time have I thought the office of the President was a good idea. Think twice, Brits, before you overthrow that Saxe-Coburg-Gotha crowd and hand it all, everything, over to the likes of BoJo.

You do realize, R178, that the role of the Queen is strictly ceremonial and that she is a figurehead with no political power, right? And that the PM is like the president in that they are elected officials who come and go, hence the point of a democracy?

R178 She is still a parasite they can elect a head of state.

I understand all that better than you do, R179. Of course the Queen has no official political power, if the political power has been vested in the Parliament. That is patently obvious. A big "duh."

But if you think the Queen has no political power, you are quite naive. You are also incorrect when you say the role of the Queen, an by extension the monarchy, is strictly ceremonial. It isn't. After the Clapham Junction train crashes, Margaret Thatcher tried to usurp the traditional role of the royal family by visiting the injured in hospital. She got a fire storm of push back from all corners. Speaking in times of crisis is not "strictly ceremonial," nor is offering comfort. They are real functions the monarchy performs. The patron roles taken by various members of the royal family with British charities and cultural institutions are also not "strictly ceremonial." They offer continuity and enrichment to the culture.

I invite you to the US, R179, to spend some time living with Donald Trump. Come see what its like to have that fat bastard presume to show up as a head of state and represent all that is good about the U.S.

Elizabeth & Co. probably need to be scaled down a bit. They live large quite large, when compared to other European monarchs. But I suspect that if Charles tries it to do it, the people of the UK will feel the diminishment in ways that will surprise.

R180 has serious self-hatred issues.

She should name herself head of the Church.

r175 is trying hard to come off as a disinterested neutral party but it's kind of obvious that they are fans of Meghan and Harry. Nothing else explains the unhinged name calling. I've heard staunch, die hard republicans make better arguments than "socialite" "leach"!! You know I do hope the BRF steps down, then that way Charles will stop funding his do-nothing, freeloading sons and BOTH their wives. Let's see how long they last in Tyler Perry's bosom after THAT

God save the Queen

R183 = too stupid to post here.

The British monarch IS Head of the Church of England. Duh.

"She should name herself head of the Church."

She is the head of the Church, as all monarchs have been since Henry VIII split with the Catholic church.

The problem is when the adulterer, AKA Tampon Boy, becomes head of the Church. Is he fit for that duty?

R182 has fantasy issues.

R184 is is very obvious that you are making shit up because you support the parasite.

Charles is better fit for the role than any of the child raping Catholic priests and the bishops and cardinals who cover for them. Better than Pat Robertson or Jim Bakker. Better than David Koresh or Jim Jones.

Being fit to head a church these days is a pretty low bar. The better question is whether Charles will want be involved with any of that mess?

R190 - Charles has said in the past that he wants to be "Head of the Faiths" with an "s" (not just the Anglican Church). Let's see if he gets his way.

I guess Charles IS a small step above rapists and murderers. I have changed my opinion given that information, and now feel Charles is very fit to be the anointed spiritual leader of the British.

R185 and Her fascist regime.

I didn't realize that, R191. I thought it was just a joke in "The Windsors." What is he actually thinking--that he's going to have some authority over the other faiths? I thought the Head of the Church and Defender of the Faith title was a corollary to the Church of England being the established church. They can't all be established!

R193 - we mean it MAAANNNN.

@R192 - ^ it should have read "Defender of the Faiths" not "Head of the Faiths".

R126, if they wanted to, could they dump him and ask David Tennant to be the King?

^ meant @191. Sorry. I'm having a bad day.

Somehow, I doubt that Hindus, Muslims and Jews will want the man behind "Tampongate" to be their spiritual leaders.

The Queen acts as a check to any overweening politician with delusions of grandeur, she is allowed to warn and advise the prime minister, something that is desperately needed now that Bojo has made a hash of containing the pandemic.

R199, no one cares what Charles did or said in his private life but I notice that he didn't sue the papers when his private phone calls that were secretly and probably illegally recorded were splashed all over the tabloids.

R178 Please stop it, America is a republic and we don't have or want monarchs running this country. Yes, Trump is most definitely an asshole but he's also not going to be there forever either. We have a constitution that states no monarchs period and I'd like it to stay that way.

And Elizabeth is still a socialite. I bet she and Kim Kardashian secretly talk on the phone all the time. Even socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor said the Elizabeth was at a dinner party at her Bel Air home back in the day, so that's just another peice of the puzzle proving my point that she's a socialite.

Because otherwise, why is she hanging out with Zsa Zsa Gabor? Gabor was a socialite in Hollywood and socialites love to socialize with each other. I figured her out a long time ago.

R127, now that's a king I could get behind, if you know what I mean.

R181, you're quite presumptuous. First, I live in the U.S. and I know what it's like. So even though you'd like to think you know better than I on both the role of the Queen (because you lived in the UK a whole year) and what Trump is doing to the U.S., you're wrong on both counts. Of course, the Queen's role is ceremonial. Whatever she and the BRF offer in terms of comfort, official speeches, continuity, or enrichment to the culture, that is strictly through being figureheads.

Of course the Queen is capable of influencing opinion by her actions and words, and the BRF PR machine, but ultimately it is not in actual political power she has any sway. I'm glad you know this; a lot of people don't seem to, so it's not "Duh" when there are so many idiots on this thread alone. It is the court of public opinion she and the BRF deal in, with obviously mixed results though the many decades they've managed to keep the firm going.

R202--such an idiot he compares QEII to Zsa Zsa!

And he STILL doesn't know the definition of "socialite" vs "queen," even though it's been explained to him by Merriam-Webster.

QEII has her own entry in the dictionary and it's defined as "queen of the United Kingdom."

R202--a dictionary definition of a troll.

LMFAO, dumb fucking troll!!!

She'll set up an OnlyFans account and we'll see some sexy content revolving around The Grey Triangle. She's crusty. I mean thirsty.

Let's hope she has a Scottish gentleman to be at her side as one of her ancestors did.

[R202]--a dictionary definition of a troll. LMFAO, dumb fucking troll!

Yes, he is. He has an inordinate number of posts on this thread, is obsessed with the misappropriation of a word "socialite," and managed to incite you very effectively.

Just lay off the obsessed Axis II cunt, step back and breathe. And put him on ignore as a lot of us have for a pleasant and educational ride.

R207 Perhaps the Queen would favor a loyal manservant of Indian descent, as did her great-great grandmother.

Elizabeth is still a socialite.

R208, but no need to tell me to breathe nor give advice to me on trolls, dear. They are a dime a dozen on DL.

[Quote]Let's hope she has a Scottish gentleman to be at her side as one of her ancestors did.

Indeed! A Scottish gentleman is far superior to a soon-to-be assassinated Russian of questionable provenance.

You guys do not know how to just laugh at the socialite troll for the sheer ridiculousness of their posts.

This is DL after all. It's a gossip site, have fun and just laugh at the freaks who post on this site.

My goodness, some of you take yourselves way to seriously.

If it weren't for this awful pandemic, I would fly to her and stay by her side. And we could watch my favorite episodes of Suits together.

"some of you take yourselves way to seriously."

Oh, dear, R213.

Is she on assistance?

Quite.

Do we think Big Liz waxes her muff?

Does she have a Special Lady of the Chamber Muff who does it... or does she just see to it herself?

All elderly women with paper thin skin require waxing that will scald and leave their first layer of fatty cover and muscles torn off on their mons pubis, leaving it exposed to bacteria, especially the one that causes necrosis. You know, when flesh dies, turns black, produces foul odor and falls off?

So, she probably just shaves it now. Or uses a depilatory?

Why do you think wax and depilatory are different?

Such a rube.

Waxing is a technique. A depilatory is a chemical (like Nair)

If someone steals her corpse, that would make me sad.

Who is Big Liz’s gynecologist? Does she got to an office, or does she have a stirrups set up in her room they use?

Is the doctor a male? I wonder.

There’ll be no more royal issue from her body, so do her nasty bits matter?

It's really disgusting how the Megstans on here bash a 94 year old woman who has served her country admirably all because they think insulting the Queen puts Meghan in a better light.

Pro tip, Megstans: It doesn't. It makes Meghan and you look even worse. As does everything you do on her behalf.

R226 Why do you think someone has to be a Meg stan to dislike the snooty inbred royals?

I was over the queen a long time before Ms. Markle was, myself.

She and the Megan bitch serve only themselves.

She needs her own bubble.

Seethe megstans, seethe.

It's not imperative r227 but there is a very large overlap between BRF-haters and Megstans, especially on the internet.

Also, if you knew anything about the royals you'd know that the last thing they are is snooty and the British ones never really went in for inbreeding (distant cousins, at a stretch).

It's all a charade. Megstans lurved the BRF, adored the pics of Markle and her taped weave sitting next to the Queen...until they didn't. Nazi lovin Paki and black hatin Harry is their Kang...until wait and see when the inevitable divorce comes.

Guys, you don't have to worry about Liz's muff. She's 94 years old. THERE IS NO MUFF.

Correct, when women hit menopause, the loss of estrogen causes hair loss everywhere.

So much easier to shelter at Sandringham.

R236 - I hope you're joking because the Queen barely travels anywhere at her advanced age. She sure as hell wouldn't be traveling to Miss Sparkle's horrid squat.

The Queen will never see Markle - or Archie - ever again.

She'll only see Harry if he travels to the UK for a lengthy trip - two weeks quarantine before seeing her. Harry may never see the Queen again.

All for an embarrassing squat in a La Quinta Inn McMansion with no privacy.

[quote]Harry may never see the Queen again. All for his personal freedom and the safety of his family.

Fixed it for you.

So much freedom! So much safety to be had in paparazzi central in a borrowed house with hikers paths leading directly to it.

There's more freedom and safety to be found at Frogmore Cottage, but that wouldn't do for Meghan's ambitions....

R238, wtf are you talking about? Until the pandemic, the Queen traveled extensively--certainly not the way she did in the years previous, but she's hardly a stay-at-home shut-in grandma. What a bunch of fools pervade this thread.

There is no freedom or safety for Harry as long as he is in that family. They will do to him and his family what they did to Diana.

Go, Harry! GO! Fuck the haters.

No, R243, what will happen is a steady dissatisfaction in giving up the family he knows and all his privilege to be shacked up with a gold-digging careerist actress in LA.

He will get tired of it, they will divorce, and he will go back, having paid the gold-digger a substantial payoff, just like happened to Mommy and Daddy.

Yes, Harry has so much freedom now.

You KNOW she’s not even letting anyone set foot near a window, let alone go out for a swim and a spell in the sun.

What a fool he is.

[quote] The Queen will never see Markle - or Archie - ever again.

Why did she go blind? I understand that she knows how to use Skype.

If the queen steps down (or is removed) is there a final accounting and audit, to see how many public funds she’s salted away?

She also needs a full cavity search.

Skype is 'interfacing' with another person, r246, not 'seeing' another person in the human sense.

Sure they'll skype and zoom to keep that sweet, sweet money coming in. But the Queen won't feel close to Archie ever.

It was a stupid move, from the golddigger Markle's point of view. Archie is the money trail and she unwittingly cut him off from one of his greatest potential benefactors.

Meghan never meant to cut Archie off, of course. All she was trying to do was to hold out 'seeing Archie' as a leveraging tool.

Then coronavirus came and told Ms. Meghan to fuck off with that bullshit.

R246, yes, Skype. It’s a perfectly adequate way to communicate with people you love. No need to ever see anyone in person again.

Blow a kiss!

R242 - read my post @238 CAREFULLY. Where did I say she didn't travel extensively BEFORE the pandemic? Did you see the term "advanced age"?

The Queen decreased her travels just to England and Scotland BEFORE the pandemic. She doesn't travel out of the country anymore. Other members of the family visit the Commonwealth countries as representatives of the monarch.

Now, who is the fool?

The Queen was never a cuddly grandmother type. She never spent quality time with her grandchildren, why should she be expected to cuddle with a great-grandchild?

Poor Archie will grow up without knowing the love of a grandparent. Camilla sure as hell isn't going to do it. And Doria will breeze in and out according to her new age biorhythms.

R251, my MIL was never a cuddly grandmother type. But with her favorite grandchild, she was an utter mush. She just adored that baby, and it was almost funny to see her go daffy with him. I do think her children were a little salty to see her be that way with him. It was like a dam broke and it all came flooding to this one little human.

Not saying that Elizabeth is the same; just that it happens.

R206 I like the way you think. God shave the queen's pussy!

Same with my MIL. Terrible, distant, formal mother and yet an amazingly tactile, hands-on, laughing and joking and reading to the kids grandmother.

That could be because the gay marriage broke her sense of propriety, but it's also age.

Harry will divorce Meghan, and she will clean him out financially. He'll go crawling home, and now he'll have even less freedom than before since he won't have even his Diana trust fund to give him some independence. The BRF will keep him on a short leash for the rest of his life. Which, given what he did with a long leash, is a good idea.

If Meghan thinks she'll clean up because California is a community property state, she's in for a surprise. British lawyers will swoop in and inform the court that Harry owns next to nothing independent of the Royal Family and its network of holdings and trusts.

Good thing Meghan has good work experience.

[quote] Go get ordained by God himself to rule a country as she did and then maybe your rant could carry some weight

"Ordained by God"? Looks like the eldergays and Klan grannies of DL are the Bible-thumping morons who believe that the welfare queen and her scrounging family somehow have a right to their privilege.

Did Meghan sign a pre-nup? Anyway, the BRF will get their way. Yes, Meghan will get some money, but she won't clean Harry out. Look how poorly Meghan is doing with the MOS lawsuit. You think she's going to go up against the BRF? And I guarantee the BRF will release damaging information. They probably had Frogmore Cottage bugged and have recordings of Meghan being an absolute "see you next Tuesday."

The "Klan Grannies Everywhere!" troll is so informed and so elucidating. See it's wisdom at r247.

So glad it's here.

Meghan laid a golden egg, and will get plenty of money over the next 18 years to support Archie. It reminds me of Liz Hurley - she had slept with plenty of men but only allowed herself to get pregnant with a billionaire's sperm. Her son is set for life with a huge trust and his father made sure that he inherited money from father's grandpa

Same with Linda Evangelista. Only fell pregnant with a billionaire's sperm, and now she gets to chill, eat and get fat and never work another day in her life.

IF she divorces, she will forever be a Duchess, like Fergs, and once Betty kicks, she will be the mother of a royal prince.

Elizabeth Regina is making deals with the Grim Reaper. If Charles becomes King, he is daft enough to accede to Meghan's demands.

Oh Meghan will make out just fine.

But at the moment, how can they even claim “residency”? They’re houseguests.

R262, agreed. He’s Meghan’s best shot a payday. I’d guess that Elizabeth is peeved at Harry and figures it’s his father’s problem. Harry will get his inheritance from her in due time, not any earlier.

Once Charles is gone, the faucet will be closed forever.

[quote] But at the moment, how can they even claim “residency”? They’re houseguests.

Meghan is a US citizen and she might have petitioned to get Archie designated as a US citizen.

Who's the fool, R250? You are. If you had READ MY POST CAREFULLY, you would have seen I specified that, while she didn't travel as much in recent months and especially now, she still traveled more than most people even half her "advanced age." You silly twat.

And while R250 is a silly twat, she's not as dumb as R247 for suggesting the Queen could be "removed." LMFAO!!! Another idiot on this thread who has no clue.

R26 = Silly Twat

R266 = Another Silly Twat.

You're staring in the mirror of your own twatitude, R268.

[quote] IF she divorces, she will forever be a Duchess, like Fergs, and once Betty kicks, she will be the mother of a royal prince.

If necessary, parliament could annul the marriage and have Archie declared bastard.

Meghan will win, Harry and Archie will lose. End of story.

Congrats, R270--you are included in the ranks of the very stupid on this thread. Parliament annulling marriages? Even if you're joking, you're not very clever.

R265, I know, but they just relocated to Los Angeles. I guess she can just list the address of where they’re staying? Could someone come to California and stay at a hotel and file for divorce in California to get that sweet 50/50? Why doesn’t everyone do that, then?

And doesn’t the thing kick in at the 10-year mark anyway?

Ugh, whatever.

If Big Liz or anyone from that clan of grifters wants to see the baby, they can get their asses on a plane and go visit! Jesus, it’s not like they lack means.

What happened to the rumors that she was going to make Charles Regent at age 95? Charles already had the virus and should be free from catching it again.

Markle is never returning to the UK unless the queen or possibly Charles die. She hates it there and everyone hates her.

Harry and Markle should have her Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles taken away. Of what are they duke and duchess? They don't even live in the UK any longer, so what work or affiliation do they have with anything related to a dukedom? And they should lose their HRH; right now they can't use HRH, but the style is still in place.

Their little, poorly-thought through plan of dividing their time between the UK and "North America" is kaput. You cannot be part-time royals. Besides, they only kept up that "North America" bullshit when they were trying to lie to everyone about living in Canada. It was never going to be Canada and was only going to be Southern California and nowhere else.

"Meghan is a US citizen and she might have petitioned to get Archie designated as a US citizen."

R265 There is no need for a "petition" for Archie. He was born a US citizen.

From the Gov website:

3. Child of U.S. Citizen Parent and Alien Parent [9]

A child born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if at the time of birth:

One parent is an alien and the other parent is a U.S. citizen; and​

The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age."

Why does this always become about Meghan? Leave her alone for fuck sakes!

We can't leave Markle alone until Harry divorces her and takes the kid back to the UK.

Archie didn't need no stinkin' old lady at his birthday. He had his two best friends, the family dogs.

R261 Fergie isn’t a Duchess - she ceased being one on her divorce from the Duke of York and became a non-titled person with the use of “, Duchess of York” as a surname - hence, “Sarah, Duchess if York”. Pretty standard for the former wife of a peer.

Fergie does call herself “The Duchess” for marketing purposes, especially in the USA where most people don’t understand titles and styles, but she’s not, and hasn’t been since her divorce in 1996.

^^Sarah will always be a duchess in my book.

In my gay heart also. I like Sarah’s song heart and soul.

^^Fabulous!

Grateful for small mercies.

My god, when you watch one of her televised addresses to the nation, the only thing that moves is her mouth. It's as if someone has their hand up her ass and is moving her mouth, no facial expression at all!

No one has had a hand up Liz's ass. Big Liz don't play that game.

Seethe megstan

Is “seethe megstan” supposed to be some Sort of gotcha?

Duchess of York is not a surname. A divorced wife of a peer retains her courtesy title minus the THE.

That’s not correct R290

Please correct and cite r291.

My information is: On 21 August 1996 letters patent changed titles of divorced wives of British princes, depriving their former wives of the style of Royal Highness. For this reason Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales after divorce became Diana, Princess of Wales. The same happened to Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York who became Sarah, Duchess of York.

[quote]For this reason Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales after divorce became Diana, Princess of Wales.

That's not quite right. When Charles and Diana divorced, the Queen was going to style Diana as an HRH because, after all, she was the mother of a future king. However, Diana demanded the title of Princess of Wales, so Liz said, "Fuck you, that's your title and you won't be HRH." So Diana lost the HRH.

Which is why Betty incorporated it into the Letters Patent.

Also, Wills can reinstate the HRH posthumously. We shall see.

[quote] Also, Wills can reinstate the HRH posthumously. We shall see.

It's not going to do her much good now.

But it doe reinstate Wills as the son of royals.

[quote]When Charles and Diana divorced, the Queen was going to style Diana as an HRH because, after all, she was the mother of a future king. However, Diana demanded the title of Princess of Wales, so Liz said, "Fuck you, that's your title and you won't be HRH." So Diana lost the HRH.

R293. So, Diana was going to be what? HRH of What? If the queen was going to give her HRH, then what was she going to be HRH of? If Diana was demanding she be Princess of Wales, well, she got that title. That was not in dispute. That was settled. As I understood it, the dispute was always not about the title Princess of Wales, but whether or not she would retain HRH. The queen was willing to let her keep HRH. It was Charles who was demanding that Diana not retain HRH. Charles won that battle, but Diana got him big-time financially.

r297, Diana went out and announced to the press that POW was her title before the Palace had settled it. It was a leveraging trick that Diana used. Charles was not thinking clearly. As the mother of a future king, she should not have to curtsy to lesser royals. Had she lived, she'd be curtsying to Harry and Archie (and Meghan as an extension of them).

William is not going to reinstate Diana's HRH.

Before she dies, Big Liz will restore Diana's HRH as an act of contrition for her manifest failings against country and family.

It matters to William r295. That's enough.

What the Lord (Big Liz) giveth, the Lord can taketh away. Diana wasn't HRH before she married into the family. Why should she keep her HRH status when she left the BRF? She sure wasn't representing the BRF when she was taking Dodi's Muslim dick in her back door.

^^^HA! All the Liz haters can suck on that!^^^

Poor cunty R304.Sorry, hunty--Big Liz ain't going anywhere for a while.

Nope, she won't be going anywhere for a while since they already pumped her full of Formaldehyde.

She has more life in her than you I'll wager, R307. These tired attempts at saying she's dead, she's like a corpse, etc., fly in the face of the reality of the situation. You're really pathetic to use the age of a 94-year-old, still very active person against her. But that's all you have, so.

[quote] Diana wasn't HRH before she married into the family. Why should she keep her HRH status when she left the BRF?

She earned it.

People picking on an extremely elderly (but still kicking) woman are probably the same ones calling Archie a cross-eyed potato.

All fair game, huh?

R309, she earned nothing. She was a narcissistic adulteress gold digger.

[quote] People picking on an extremely elderly (but still kicking) woman are probably the same ones calling Archie a cross-eyed potato.

I don’t think they would be the same set of people. People who want to see the downfall of the monarchy would welcome Meghan and the potato.

[quote]R311 [Big Liz] earned nothing. She was a narcissistic adulteress gold digger.

This is it in a nutshell - why should we have any respect for this conservative, pie faced dowd who was born with a silver spoon wedged up her ass, and a tiara made of blood diamonds ‘round each tit?

Fuck her. Die already.

r310. No, it's exactly the opposite. The psychopathic Megstans are the ones calling for the Queen to die and insulting her. They insult all of the BRF because they think it somehow makes Meghan look better by comparison. They're completely deranged cult members.

R310 I insult the Brf because they do the bare minimum and get paid the maximum. I think the queen grinning beside her 60 year old son who associated with pedos right after he refused to comply with requests for talks with FBI disgusting. I think that the mass bombarding of gossip sites with anti Sussex propaganda annoying as fuck.

Today on all gossip sites and forums the sugars or megstans have been the focus of attacks. I am pushing back against that. So keep trying troll. This isn't tumbler and I will be fucked if a pack of hysterical fraus get to dictate what we can post or grey out.

The members of the BRF are the UK's greatest tourist attraction.

Either them pay them and enjoy the PR they do for the UK, or don't. Kick 'em out. Make Buckingham Palace a great new art museum. (Keep the art when you give 'em the boot.)

Let them all go to Windsor Castle. They already have lovely town homes in London for when they need to be in the city. But the next time you want to gather at Buckingham Palace and wave little flags and feel very British about yourselves, you'll have fuck faced Boris Johnson up on that balcony waving back at you.

Diana's exit negotiations allegedly got quite nasty at times. I don't think this exchange is true but it did go around and has a nice DL feel to it:

Philip: If you don't behave, girl, we'll take away your titles.

Diana: My title is older than yours, Philip.

At least Diana was English. Not German or Greek.

R318 doesn't understand the principle of royals marrying into other royal families, which is how it was for most of history.

What you really mean to say is, at least Diana was British. Not American.

R317, that exchange you made up is completely implausible. Regardless of the fact that Philip would never have said anything like that - because titles are not a matter of Philip's or the Queen's personal choice, but about protocol and tradition, not something to be negotiated in a divorce settlement- there is no way in which Diana's aristocratic titles trumped a royal title, and certainly not the royal titles of the British royal family.

Philip was in fact a prince of Denmark, the oldest royal family in the world - although he'd had to give up his other royal titles on marriage. So, he wouldn't give a shit about someone claiming to have an old title or whining about having to give up theirs.

R320. Philip was no saint to Diana. Let's not get carried away.

r320 The Queen is the "Fount of all titles" and can take away any British title from anyone any time she likes.

[quote]R316 The members of the BRF are the UK's greatest tourist attraction.

What, like you think visitors are under a mass delusion they’ll get to sit down with, or even SEE, them??

Try again.

R320 is one of those puffed up posters that causes eye rolls. I can't figure where to start dissecting the wrong in that pronouncement.

Then again perhaps she has self-embalmed, I hear she likes her sherry a lot. Even mid morning after breakfast then after lunch a couple of times then after tea and more in the evening. Sounds like a drunking heifer to me. Could the people be following her lead?

R320 I beg to differ.

-Gilgamesh, King of Sumer, circa 2600 BC

R320, I specifically said I didn't think that the story is true. What's wrong with your reading comprehension? Do you need medical assistance? But it has circulated as rumor in one form or another for over 20 years. Where do you get that I made it up? Perhaps you only started following the Royal Family after reading something on Lipstick Alley?

And their is a minor if negligible point to be taken. Philip had to forswear all his other royal titles to marry Elizabeth. He was only created a Prince again by Elizabeth in 1957. Diana's Aristocratic (not Royal but still Aristocratic) title of Lady of the Spencer family dated back hundreds of years. Her title was older than his and since it was hers by right of birth, they couldn't have stripped her of that.

Some people.

^ Egads, there is not their is. Sorry.

Can Her Majesty strip Aristocratic titles? Royal titles, obviously. I think that the heads of Aristocratic families can strip lesser members of their titles but can The Queen?

The Queen can have members of the aristocracy arrested on charges of treason, and have them attainted and upon their execution, seize their land and remove their titles.

-Elizabeth Regina I

What a delightful law!

The version that I heard was that Diana’s response to Philip suggesting that they would take away her title was: “But you can’t, Pa - I have one of my own”.

Which sounds slightly more plausible as there have been letters between them published where she refers to him as “Pa”.

The letters were published to show that they continued to have a friendly relationship up to the divorce.

Reading not so much this thread, but some the others. it appears that some posters seem to think that the British Aristocracy is some sort of subset of the Royal Royal Family. No, they are their own thing separate from the Monarchy. In the United Kingdom, some Aristocratic titles are indeed quite older than the those of the current Royal Family.

I always found it odd that back in the day -- way back in the day, I'm an eldergay -- there was much made of Charles as Heir being the first to marry a commoner. Yet she wasn't. She was a titled member of an Aristocratic family despite not being Royal.

Kate had to take the brunt of the contemporary "A Prince can't marry a commoner debate" years later. Much of the public discussion was brutal towards her. And yet she has turned out to be the best and most exemplary.

The best what? Trolly dolly descendent?

Thank you, r332. I posted at r317 that I didn't believe the truth of the exchange of what I posted but later said the story in various forms had been around for years. Your version is the most understandable and cogent version.

[quote]there was much made of Charles as Heir being the first to marry a commoner.

But wasn't Elizabeth's mother a commoner? She was from the aristocracy but she wasn't royal.

Yes, r337, and I started to mention that, but at the time her husband wasn't in direct line to the throne.

^ And it's why I said specifically "Charles as Heir."

Aristocrats are commoners. There’s royalty and everybody else, even if they come from an old family.

r340, years and years ago I read that the key to understanding HM is that in her eyes, there are two kinds of people: her family and everybody else.

[quote] The members of the BRF are the UK's greatest tourist attraction.

Plus, the queen is an essential part of the functioning of the government.

[quote] Plus, the queen is an essential part of the functioning of the government.

Yes, if she doesn't open Parliament, the MPs won't know how to get inside. Every year, she must undo her bodice and pull the door key out from between her sagging breasts so that everyone knows that she and she alone can involve, dissolve and absolve elected officials.

I for one TREASURE those aged, sagging breasts.

GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN!

The whole government and military works for her and everything is in her name. The government can’t function without the monarchy.

Yes, HM had a great rack back in the day although it was of course never even referenced much less talked about back then. Sagging but generous boobies, there has to be a market for that.

R346 she and Phil have a sex tape from their honeymoon that will be released on her hundredth birthday.

HM is the only person in Great Britain who is not required to have a driver's license because they are issued in her name and requiring her to have one would be redundant.

Wow. She's completely gorgeous at r346.

Eh... not so much.

I think Markle at r343 doesnt know that the government is formed in Her Majesty's name. The Courts are in her name and so is the currency. But then again, reading up on the history of the country/"anachronistic" family one was so desperate to be a part of "as a feminist" sounds about right for Markle

[quote]The Queen is the "Fount of all titles" and can take away any British title from anyone any time she likes.

Not entirely r322, but you're proving my point that r317 is talking horseshit when creating a fantasy scenario in which Diana would have said "My title is older than yours, Philip."

And since the Queen is the one who pretty much decides titles (along with the government and parliament), it is also entirely implausible that Diana would have said “But you can’t, Pa - I have one of my own”, as r332 suggests.

Perhaps that whole story is just bullshit and no such exchange took place.

"I can't figure where to start dissecting the wrong in that pronouncement."

You can't r324, because there isn't anything wrong in that post.

[quote]Philip had to forswear all his other royal titles to marry Elizabeth. He was only created a Prince again by Elizabeth in 1957. Diana's Aristocratic (not Royal but still Aristocratic) title of Lady of the Spencer family dated back hundreds of years. Her title was older than his and since it was hers by right of birth, they couldn't have stripped her of that.

My point r327, was that Philip would not give a shit about anyone pontificating about how old their title was considering he was born a prince of the oldest royal family in the world. And, since he voluntarily gave up his own much more distinguished titles in order to marry, he would also not give a shit about anyone whining about having to give up their royal titles in order to divorice - and Diana supposedly made the comment about her "older" title as part of the negotiations for what her new title and status was going to be post-divorce, supposedly as leverage. Being "Lady Diana Spencer" doesn't mean anything and it's a complete joke to think that title could be used in any way as leverage against the royal family - even in an apocryphal story.

Harry & Meghan are the traveling 🧳 global King & Queen of England and William & Kate are the sequestered, ribbon cutting king & queen.

In any case, the title "monarch" is far older than the title "youngest daughter of an earl who will never inherit the family title" and the British royal family are descendants of the earliest kings of England, going back over a millennium, so their titles and lineage are much older than Diana's.

That apocryphal story about Diana supposedly saying something like that to Philip springs from the same kind of mind as the post at r356.

Good morning, r320! How delightful to find you awake and trying to defend your earlier indefensible postings!

Not at all r358. I notice you can't actually make any points as to why my previous comment was indefensible. You sound like one of those Americans who thinks that Harry is senior to William because Harry is supposedly more "popular" than William.

Where I am it's not morning but midday.

"Her Royal Highness" ???!!!!!

Pet, Kate is "Her Royal Higness"

The woman pictured is Her Majesty Elizabeth II Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The black laundress is welcome back any time: as soon as she and my wastrel grandson repay the millions they took in bad faith from Our Taxpayers.

R356 You wouldn't be "Aria" from Celebitchy, would you?

You talk like her.

R356 - By the way, it's not "King and Queen " of "England". It's King and Queen (that would be the future William V and his consort, Catherine) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

What is it with you foreigners that you haven't the slightest grasp of what century Britain is located in?

It stopped being just "England" several centuries ago (you know, Wales, Scotland, et al.)

It's important to pretend that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland matter.

"A socialite"

Oh my sides!

The socialite sees the most sensitive state papers on a daily basis, they all require her signature to become law, and she conferences with the Prime Minister on a weekly basis.

Her constitutional mandate is "to be consulted, to advise, and to warn". She is a formally acknowledged Head of State.

But don't let that stop you from spewing your vicious hatred of all things British because the UK taxpayers and their Head of State stopped falling for Meghan Markke's con game on their backs.

R356 - They're "global" nobodies, no one gives tuppence about them, they're quickly losing whatever cachet they had, and in case you haven't noticed, they're sequestered, too.

Ah, the SUN - why, they're rivalling the TIMES in the battle for the status of the nation's Paper of Record.

[quote]You sound like one of those Americans who thinks that Harry is senior to William because Harry is supposedly more "popular" than William.

Then as I earlier suggested, your reading comprehension is obviously defective as I neither said nor implied any such thing. I don't believe that.

[quote] Where I am it's not morning but midday.

Then you obviously need more sleep. Go back to bed.

Block the Troll and this thread becomes quite a bit more enjoyable.

R309 - She didn't "earn" it. You do not "earn" an HRH. You are either born with one or you marry one.

However you may idolise her, she was no saint, she wrecked two marriages, drove her husband out of his mind with insatiable emotional demands, and foised the burden of her neediness onto her children, one of whom seems to have inherited all her worst characteristics: clinical narcissism, fantasy, petty jealousy, and a stupendous inability to learn from previous mistakes.

Anne did ten times the work Diana did, quietly and without fuss or adoration.

If wishes were horses, peasants would ride. If HRHs were "earned", the entire NHS would be wearing tiaras today.

Harry is in charge of cuckold cleanup. That means when Me-Gain gets creampied Harry goes down on her to lick it up.

R363 - "It's important to pretend that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland matter."

Especially when they get all that funding from Westminster - yes, when the funds going to Scotland through the Barnett formula flow out, we all remember just how "unimportant" Scotland is. Did we forget to mention North Sea oil? Trident? The EU fighting to get a piece of Scotland's fisheris.

The name "Great" Britain wasn't a compliment, pet: it was an acknowledgement of "GreatER Britain" consisting of four countries, one of which until 1917 WAS four nations.

Try all you like: the nomenclature "King of England" is simply WRONG.

[quote]You can't [R324], because there isn't anything wrong in that post.

Well, for one thing, you have no idea what Philip would or wouldn't have said, no matter what your thesaurus or the voices in your head tell you. For another, you do not understand that the title in question was her Princess of Wales title, which the Queen could remove. For a third, protocol and tradition have no legal enforceability. So, basically, what's wrong with your post is in most instances you're talking out of your ass, probably while flourishing your imaginary quill before dipping it in your imaginary ink.

But your pomposity is a definite B+. A little more PBS and A- isn't out of the question.

Really, R343?

Big Liz keeps the key to Parliament in her bra?

Amazing!

[quote]What is it with you foreigners that you haven't the slightest grasp of what century Britain is located in?

Because the entire UK is about the size of Michigan. So who cares and why would we?

Has anyone heard from Charles since he was diagnosed with the coronavirus?

He's fine, he sends his love.

R375 - yes, he and Camilla laid a wreath for the 75th anniversary of VE Day. He's also done video messages.

[quote] You do not "earn" an HRH.

There have been many women who have had to lie back and earn it.

Why are Meghan's fans so enraged at the royal family? Isn't she free of them now except for the part where she's taking their money?

[quote]Why are Meghan's fans so enraged at the royal family?

Because they're white and wear fancy bling.

There’s no Professor Higgins to turn Meghan into a fine lady.

There’s no Professor Higgins to turn Meghan into a fine lady.

Did you say "lady", r382?

The Megstans hate the BRF because they haven't asked today if Megsie is OK. Oh, and they also didn't yield to her every whim and have yet to build her a palace in California. BASTARDS!!!!

R383 - That's a photo from the now notorious Tom Inskip wedding in Jamaica, where Meghan rushed to reel Harry back in after he ditched her, either uninvited by the groom, or disinvited by Harry when he ditched her.

You can see from the photo that she was going to hold onto him if it was the last thing she ever did, and there are other photos from the Inskip wedding showing Meghan determined not to let Harry go and Harry showing little to no interest in her.

I'd have loved to have heard this particular conversation!

The queen is advanced technologically to better rule over her subjects, so in that respect she’s not an anachronism.

Muriel, time to shut this down. An infestation of the loonies has arrived.

R387 Yes, my child, I'm going to shut this down just to please you.

[quote]Isn’t queen related to Jesus and Cleopatra?

There’s no contemporary evidence from his era that “Jesus” was a real person. The life story pinned to his legend already existed in the myths of many different cultures before his time.

So no, he and Big Liz are not related.

Well, except that Tacitus wrote about him and mentioned his death at the hands of Pontius Pilate, also mentioned by name, r389, so the story was doing the rounds in non-Christian Rome in the decades after Jesus died.

Well, except that it is thought that it was circa 116 A.D. when Tacitus wrote about him and mentioned his death. Neither the original writing nor any contemporaneous copies exist. The oldest copy was created in the 11th century by Christian monks.

It might be wise to take writings credited to Tacitus as something less that authoritative on the matter of Jesus and his death.

This is why having a Defender of the Faith is so vital.

THE Faith? Just the one?

What could possibly go wrong with that approach?

R393 Has anything gone wrong?

R394, how one answers that question is guided by how one feels about the foolishness of monotheism. I view it as a complete and utter failure, so I would have to answer you question, "Everything. Everything has gone wrong."

R372, I'm not the one who posted stories about what Philip supposedly said, even if it was apocryphal. I simply compared what he is alleged - even apocryphally - to have said with facts, context and reality.

R374, why are you on this thread if you think the UK is irrelevant?

Ok, R396. You’re still all wrong.

Before preparing to improve the world, first look around your own home three times.

Well except, r391, that Jesus and his disciples all play a huge part in Emperor Nero's blame game for the Fire of Rome, which was around 30 years after the death of Jesus, and that is the history Tacitus is reciting 50 years after.

No, I'm not wrong r398 but you're boring now so I'll let you have the last word if you like.

R45 Oh, FFS, that was eight years ago.

Get this down, R400. We do NOT have the original writings of Tacitus or any contemporaneous copies. We have Latin texts prepared by not disinterested Christian monks 1000 years after Tacitus.

Zzzzzzzzzzz...

Has anyone asked ME! how I am lately?

During the Charles and Diana divorce, the Queen's original plan was to style her ex-daughter-in-law as HRH Princess Diana. This would have been an HRH and title in her own right, which Diana could have kept if she ever remarried. The sting was that she would have had to give up the title Princess of Wales, as she was no longer married to the Prince of Wales and he might need that title for a future wife. Diana balked at this, as she was much attached to her brand as Princess of Wales. They were still negotiating when she prematurely leaked to the press that she would keep the Princess of Wales title. The Queen and her advisors, angry over Diana jumping the gun, let her keep Princess of Wales but stripped the HRH.

It’s not like she was turning up at the club every weekend. She was just waving at the poors and knighting people and eating dinner with celebrities anyway.

Meghan and Harry don't spend too much time with the poors, either. Their food distribution took place in West Hollywood, not Watts or East LA.

We're busy shopping for mansions!!!!

Queen Elizabeth will still be a more effective leader for her people that Trump, even locked up.

R410 - I have a sometimes grudging admiration and respect for my Sovereign, but let's face it: the ghost of Edward V, one of the princes in the Tower, would be a more effective leader than Trump.

R411 Truth - at least he wouldn't be doing any harm.

Corgis 2020!

I have a corgi that I bought in the Buckingham Palace gift shop. Makes me wish I had a real one.

[quote]Buckingham Palace gift shop

Does Liz get a percentage of all merchandise sold?

The corgi’s tag says the money goes to “The Royal Collection Trust”.

No the shop money goes to the upkeep of the art and architecture. Liz never sees any of it.

Yes, never sees a penny. It’s just her goddamn house that’s being kept up with all the money, is all.

No, r418 the Royal Collection is mainly art, and much of that is on view in Museums in London.

^^ sick of your goddamn LIES!

R419 is correct.

Has a historical figure ever been so dull? Do we have funny anecdotes about her? witty one-liners? anything? She's a bore through and through.

[quote] Has a historical figure ever been so dull? Do we have funny anecdotes about her? witty one-liners? anything?

She’s a sex machine in the sack. How about that?

[quote]Has a historical figure ever been so dull? Do we have funny anecdotes about her? witty one-liners? anything? She's a bore through and through.

She's supposedly very droll and funny, often in a dry way, in private. And an excellent mimic. I suspect more of that side of her will come out after she's gone.

[quote] She’s a sex machine in the sack. How about that?

Rumors of Philip complaining to his friends back.in the day that she was insatiable are numerous.

^ Meant to add, good for her.

This old bag is the ultimate frau and the one that every frau worships.

R424 - As it happens, yes. When she and Philip were first married, apparently the fresh young Princess Elizabeth took to sex like a duck to water, and Philip was heard to complain at cocktail parties that he couldn't keep the young princess out of his bed. Finally, his father-in-law, King George VI, took Philip aside and told him to knock it off. This has appeared in just about every single worthwhile biography of her and Philip.

The people dissing her as a stuffy frau do so because they have absolutely no real knowledge of her and get their information from photos hanging on the walls of government offices.

First and foremost, HM is a countrywoman who bred horses and dogs, who was taught tracking and shooting as a young woman, and who spends every chance she can outside London and in the country - her private homes are in Norfolk and Scotland. Very few of such are squeamish about reproduction and sex.

The early obsession with horses should have told you something. Her daughter, Anne, seems to have followed the trajectory with unerring instinct, including the horse breeding bit.

A story is told of Anne once, dancing with a man at some reception or other. He was, of course, holding her at respectful distance. Anne apparently said in her brusque way, "Are you afraid of me?" "Why, no," her partner stammered. "Then stop holding me like a piece of china and let's dance properly," Anne replied.

They are much earthier and less hidebound than people suppose.

And, in fact, one of the problems between Charles and Diana is that she was a very modern urbanite, and Charles, like his parents and grandparents, was a countryman through and through. Diana hated the country. She hated Balmoral, she hated Sandringham, she hated Highgrove. Her idea of getting away from it all was a beach on the Riviera.

The Queen's trick, as Robert Lacey once pointed out, is to succeed in having to be IN the city but not OF the city.

Palace dismisses book giving Harry and Meghan’s account of Megxit

Roya Nikkhah, Royal Correspondent

Sunday May 17 2020, 12.01am BST, The Sunday Times

The royal family wants to move on from the “soap opera” surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s departure from their official roles, according to senior palace sources.

Since their departure for a new life in Los Angeles without official duties, Harry and Meghan are said to have been looking forward to the publication of a book that claims to reveal their “true story”.

But when the tell-all biography charting the Sussexes’ decision to move to America is released this summer, the royal family will remain tight-lipped.

Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family is understood to have been written with the Sussexes’ blessing. It is expected to give their version of events behind a reportedly strained relationship with the institution and a rumoured rift with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

A senior palace source said: “The rest of the royal family will not be telling their side of the story. They feel that in this new world, people are more interested in seeing the family support frontline workers than reading about their internal politics.

“It was a soap opera. Everyone knows the narrative that’s coming. The feeling is that drama and everything that comes with it has left. Let the rest of the royal family get on with it.”

Senior members of the royal family are understood to have been briefed about the book. Contrary to reports of “fears” over the “bombshell” biography, a royal source said: “It’s just not a hot topic of conversation in the family. They have had so many books written about them that have lobbed some hefty bombs over the sides. They’re used to it.”

Written by Omid Scobie, a former reporter for the American tabloid Us Weekly, and Carolyn Durand, a reporter for Elle magazine, the book will be published by HarperCollins on August 11.

A spokesman for the Sussexes said the couple were “relaxed” about the authors’ access to people “close to them” but denied they had actively assisted with the book.

“There has been no organising from our side in terms of who they have spoken to. It is not an official, authorised or endorsed book. The authors have not had interviews with the duke and duchess. We have asked to see a copy ahead of publication.”

Some previous royal biographies written with collaboration have not gone down well in royal circles. The Queen Mother said she was “deeply shocked” to discover that Diana, Princess of Wales had helped to “wash the dirty linen in public” by assisting Andrew Morton with his book, Diana: Her True Story, which detailed her struggles within the royal family and the breakdown of her marriage to the Prince of Wales.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were said to be dismayed by Prince Charles’s admission to Jonathan Dimbleby in his 1994 biography, that he had felt “emotionally estranged”from his parents for much of his life.

The biographer AN Wilson, who has written books on the Queen, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, said last week: “In a way, there is no mystery left. Meghan will tell us nothing we could not have made up for ourselves.”

R425 Well if you had access to scorching hot young Philip, and nothing else to do all day, you would be too!

r422 : If you're starving for royal gossip, an interesting read is Kitty Kelley's little spill on the BRF. I say "little" - it is actually a massive book even in paperback but it is filled with delicious gossip (always sourced) such as QEII saying "whee!" when attempting to close doors aboard the storm-lashed Britannia yacht as she was exiting an evening with family and guests. But the best book is the Housekeeper's Diary which really dishes on Charles, Diana (Diana telling Charles to Fuck Off etc) and Charles lugging around a battered old teddy from his childhood that no one was allowed to touch. Prince Andrew and his "dirty" tissues that lay scattered on the floor around his bed that the maids had to pick up. It's endless....

I love the stories of "Elizabeth II, sex kitten".

[quote]First and foremost, HM is a countrywoman who bred horses

Many women who ride horses do so for sexual stimulation.

Hi Cheryl!, r433. So, that explains some of the stench.

Hi Cheryl!, r433. So, that explains some of the stench.

Elizabeth was finished with her royal duties when she gave birth to her four children. That's all that matters is producing the next generation of royalty.

R436 that only applies to female spouses of sovereigns. So when you say Elizabeth, what you really should say is Phillip.

Anyway, I think they should slim down the monarchy to just the king and queen. All of the rest of the title should be removed. It’s 2020, and their one job, smiling and waving has become a health hazard.

I also remember, in the not so distant past, Prince William making jokes, like a Trump jr, about spreading Corona. Yeah, these people can fuck off.

r437, no it applies to both. As you said, their one job is smiling and waving. Everyone likes to pretend the Queen has a lot of power, but she really doesn't. It's all ceremonial. When the topic of Brexit came up, probably the most important issue of British 21st Century, everyone says, "Oh the Queen cannot comment because she is supposed to be above politics." So the head of State can't offer an opinion on Brexit?

R436, that's completely not true. Her progeny have had fuck all to do while she has been meeting weekly with prime ministers for nearly 70 years, has weathered all kinds of storms both in her fraught and fucked-up family, and with the country at large, and has been THE figurehead for her nation and represented it to every other nation in the world. What she's done has been about more than popping out heirs, especially since her entire conception of duty and obligation requires that she, for her very long life, fulfill what she sees as her role as queen. Her job was far from done when she pushed out Charles.

R438 - the monarch (and her family) is suppose to stay well away from politics or the appearance of taking sides in any political issue. She has to remain NEUTRAL because she represents ALL the people.

[quote]the monarch (and her family) is suppose to stay well away from politics or the appearance of taking sides in any political issue.

So let me see if I understand. She meets with the Prime Minister of the country to give her opinion on things like Brexit, but she won't comment about what she has told the PM to do concerning Brexit?

R441 - the PM's weekly meeting is between the PM and the Queen. Period. They don't just talk about government policy. They talk about the Commonwealth, the military, foreign affairs etc... The Queen doesn't interfere with government business. She can "advise" if asked but she knows her job well.

It's Prince Charles who has found himself in hot water in the past with making his views public or writing letters to ministers. He got his fingers rapped and so he should. He has said that when he's King, it will be different. We shall see if he can keep his mouth shut and remain above the fray.

[quote]She can "advise"

I still don't understand her role, other than to smile and wave and pretend she is better than everyone else.

The sovereignty of the United Kingdom is embodied in her person, r443. That can be pretty tough going.

R443 sounds like the poster who just couldn't understand, after being told 20 times, how to obtain a face mask to wear. She likely "still" doesn't understand. Doh etc.

R410 we fought a war so we wouldn't have to listen to retarded limey fruitcakes like you.

R446 Nobody is forcing you to read these threads. Why don't you find a forum where the Revolutionary War is discussed and hang out there?

This woman has held the same job forever. She doesn’t bitch and moan about her job, and she fucking BRINGS IT every time. I can’t think of anyone aside from my late MIL who is as consistent and stalwart and proper as Queen Elizabeth. It’s not because she’s royal (my MIL was barely middle class), it’s because it’s her character.

She's had the worst deal of any Monarch since Queen Victoria. She became Queen while still a very young woman and has every detail of her life scrutinized since.

R449 Speaking of Victoria. I wish that squatty nympho was queen in modern times. She would be far more interesting.

R450 Fuck off, you nasty loon.

Hey R451, do you have Prince Albert in the can?

No, but he's probably up your snatch.

R453 ha-ha the last time I heard that one, I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur.

R454 More likely you hit your head after stumbling off your trailer porch.

R455, you always bring your sparkling wit to every situation don't you, you fat disease-ridden slovenly cunt.

R456 Speak for yourself.

R445, when people say, "I don't understand," it often means, "I don't agree."

If they don't understand, they need to do their homework again and again until they do understand it.

If they don't agree, they need to make damned sure they really understood that homework before they open their yap.

[Quote]She became Queen while still a very young woman and has every detail of her life scrutinized since.

And she knew this from the time she was a small child. I watched "The Queen at War" a few weeks ago about her childhood from the time of Edward VIII's abdication through VE day. When she realized what her father's reluctant ascension to the throne meant, she began to pray for a little brother.

[quote]And she knew this from the time she was a small child.

And her parents should have acted like she was going to be the monarch. Edward ascended to the throne as a single man. Who thought he was going to have time to meet and marry an acceptable woman? Was he like Henry the 8th and have members of his court out scouring the world for a suitable mate? From the moment he ascended, he scorned the position and its protocol. And when Wallis Simpson became more miserable, that was the sign that this was not going to end well.

[quote]And when Wallis Simpson became more miserable

That should read, when Wallis became more noticable

The Palace is smart to go the 'never complain, never explain' route with the Sussex book. They know that any real response would just fan the flames of publicity. To shrug and dismiss the whole thing as more soap opera spin by two troublemakers whom the family feels well shut of is the perfect attitude to take.

R462, they certainly are. Their silence on most of the Sussex mess has served them well. This latest slapdown was perfect.

They’re smart to leave it to Lady Colin Campbell, who can and will get her hands dirty.

Your post is a non sequitur at best or, worse, ill-informed, Princess Michael, as much of your pointless life.

R455/R456 Girls! Girls! You're both fat disease-ridden slovenly cunts!

Royal bump

What do the Queen's Ladies in Waiting do while she is in confinement?

Aren't they all rich or equally near retirement age? I'm sure they just chill at home and wait for the Queen to call them for some conversation.

Most of HM’S LiW are past retirement age, some are rich (or rather, their husbands are), some are living in genteel poverty but all are aristocratic. Interestingly a few have been Americans married into the English aristocracy, e.g. The Countess of Airlie, born in New Jersey, who is the Queen’s senior LiW, since 1973. One assumes that they get on after 47 years.

It's so odd that a squillionairess like the Countess of Airlee, daughter of ultra-rich industrialist Otto Khan, should be born in New Jersey, but perhaps it was a nicer place back in the 1930's.

It would be sad if she died (of old age) during quarantine. Dying in exile or seclusion is usually for disgraced monarchs.

Kinda hoping she'll still be Queen 10 years from now.

Dex and the other racists on here deserve to die in a grease fire.

R472 I am actually the complete opposite of a racist. You are a stupid fucking cunt. At least I don't douche with industrial strength bleach 10 times a day every day. May someone replace your coke with unscented Ajax powder.

R470 - New Jersey has a bad rap because mostly people associate it only with Neward and the Turnpike.

New Jersey, especially northern New Jersey and areas like Bergen County, are filled with lovely small towns and beautiful homes with beautiful lawns, huge old trees, etc. It was named the Garden State for a reason. I was surprised myself to visit friends in that area, who have a beautiful home in Norwood, to see how nice the area was.

A little perspective, please.

^*Newark

The Queen will quit her royal duties when she’s dead. She’s not a petulant quitter like *some*.

Praying to all the gods that vile Dex gets covid19 and ends up comatose on a ventilator.

Spaztastic William isn't going to be king until he's in his 70s, the way it's going. Poor fucker. Harry will be retired, surfing in Malibu in the morning, lazy lunch, sleep in the afternoon.

Harry will be retired, surfing in Malibu in the morning, lazy lunch, sleep in the afternoon, after rimming Medea's shitter.

Fixed!

R477 Take your meds. It's extremely unhealthy to be obsessed with some random nobody such as myself that you don't even know.

Praying to all the gods that beautiful Dex blocks R477, as many of us have, because he won’t have missed a thing.

(I confess I peeked at 477 and it was the same old.)

Agree that R477 is overboard even for DL. Not interested in your vitriol when there are plenty of people suffering on ventilators. Blocked, cunt.

Fergies in the shit again. Financial discrepancies. Investigation opened. Now that's grifting. But allowed because she is White. Right? Andrew doesn't pay his bills. But mummy will cover them. But that's not grifting. All within the last few months. Where's the outrage. I forgot snarky comments about the grifting biracial allowed only.

Are Fergie and Andrew constantly self-promoting like the grifter Markle is r483?

Are Fergie and Andrew constantly self-promoting like the grifter Markle is r483?

R477 clearly has never heard of the boomerang effect of karma.

The idea of wishing violent death on people just because they don't like Meghan Markle is so deranged that it beggars description.

Pet, you shouldn't waste your karmic bullets like that. One day, when the next Pol Pot or Idi Amin or Stalin comes along, you'll be out of ammo because you spent them all on a bunch of gay gossips talking about a d-list actress who behaved really badly after being handed a golden ticket to fame, fortune, and lifelong luxury just as she was facing professional oblivion.

But, hey, it's your karma. Dex and Bodgea-Cat and the rest of us will be waiting at the other end of that tunnel to see how it goes as those gods decide where you're going in your next incarnation.

(Hint: it's not Kensington Palace)

^*Bodega-Cat (apologies for the misspelling)

R485. Oh, Fergie put herself out there to make some coin - after she and her pig husband buddied up with Epstein, she slowed down, as she was grifting off the sex predator.

I already blocked her. At least I think it is a woman. I can't be too sure.

r486 The Karmic bill waiting for these Mstans, all of whom scream for murder, death of children, life destruction and any kind of pain imaginable response to someone making even the mildest comment they don't like.

I kind of pity them. The basis for their alienation must be more than just the marginalized desperate for someone with whom to identify, when you consider what they put out there when riled.

Here's one of them in audio. She sounds beyond unhinged. All threats, all the time.

This is probably what our "Klan Grannies Everywhere!" and "MURIEL SHUT THIS THREAD DOWN NOW" troll listens to:

Anyone who got a bad url notice upon playing the above, just go to "dlist_duchess_tig" on instagram and its the top vid on the pile.

Well worth.

Y'all are just envious of her because no prince would ever give any of you a second glance.

You sound exactly like the screeching, angry frau in r492's audio clip, r494.

Your final Klan Granny thread got paywalled! Let's hope your ventilators are turned off soon.

R492 sounds like hysterical Twilight fans

R492, oh my. I’ll be watching my back, then, eh? And I’ll certainly leave Jennifer Ghana alone, too.

Yeah, R494, you're right in that a straight man (say, Prince Harry) would not be interested in any gay man on DL. What insight you have.

Block her R499. Life is too short for stupidity

Then why don't you block yourself, R500, you dumb twat?

R484 No, Fergie and Andy have been doing much worse - money laundering: ripping off investors and avoiding paying tax. These are illegal acts. Goes far beyond the grifting that they have been doing for decades.

MURIEL THE FREAKS ARE HERE! SWITCH OFF THEIR VENTILATORS PLEASE

😆 The last comment before the Muriel! troll was 30 hours ago. Smooth.

I love the queen, but I wish for her own sake she would retire from active duty. She would never abdicate (everyone assumes she made a promise to her parents back when her father was alive), but she could make Charles the Prince Regent to act in her place. He is more than ready to do it, and it would make sense.

No previous monarch has gone into her or his nineties still on active duty. She has earned a good rest.

[quote]but she could make Charles the Prince Regent to act in her place.

Maybe wait awhile. He just insulted many British citizens by telling them that if they wanted to work, they could go pick fruit from his vast orchards.

Charles is a privileged asshole. I wish the motherfucker had died a gruesome Covid-19 death.

Skipping over to William would not be so bad.

R508 - that's not the way the line of succession works.

My husband is the only rational successor and it needs o happen NOW!

Piss off, R509. Read R507 and R508 together. As they appear. If Charles dies from coronavirus. William is next at bat.

R512 - Charles has already recovered from the virus, so you seem to be a little behind in your royal news. You're also a very angry and ignorant person but that's another story.

Harry and Meghan ran up a $53 million taxpayer bill in just 2 years says Brit politician

It will be tremendously anticlimactic if she dies in quarantine with no one having seen her in months. After living such a public life it would be a let down for the public and, I imagine, her as well.

Do we believe this?

[Quote]Since the wedding, Meghan is also said to have amassed a ($731,000) jewelry collection (including items gifted to her by Harry and the Queen), a collection larger than the late Princess Diana’s, including a stunning new diamond ring.”

If she dies in private it will be a triumph for M15/M16. As has happened before. Tread carefully little girl. Evidently You have no idea what you are dealing with.

as has

Why wouldn't we, R516?

That article at R514 itemizing all their expenses is pretty damning--damn, you have to admit, that is some world-class grifting!

The best part:

"While the couple is promising to pay when they make money, Baker writes, 'In the deal reached with the Palace, Harry and Meghan have kept their HRH titles but will not "use" them. This is significant as the status provides a mechanism for support — notably financial support from the taxpayer for security — to be provided to them.'”

And finally:

"It all adds up to a hefty bill the public must pay for a a couple who turned their backs on Britain."

If Queen Elizabeth dies before Charles, they have a double waiting in the wings. Remember, this is the country that produced multiple sets of the Beatles.

R516 - "Do we believe this?

Since the wedding, Meghan is also said to have amassed a ($731,000) jewelry collection (including items gifted to her by Harry and the Queen), a collection larger than the late Princess Diana’s, including a stunning new diamond ring.”

No, WE do not. The Queen hasn't given Meghan much of anything, and at least $200,000 of that is Meghan's engagement ring, and the "stunning new diamond ring" is the new diamond shoulders with which she altered her engagement ring. I believe a slim new diamond band is added to the set.

Charles may have given her the Cartier diamond bracelet she wore at her wedding - no one is quite sure, but if he did, that and her engagement ring were the major pieces she got. With how obvious the Sussexes made themselves so early on in the game, it is highly doubtful that the BRF helped fill Meghan's jewellery box with anything from their own collection.

Her husband probably gave her a few really nice presents in gold over the two years they've been married. But the engagement ring and the Cartier bracelet alone would make up that figure.

As for it dwarfing Diana's collection, that is so stupid I'm surprised they even printed it.

They seem to have forgotten the massive sapphire and diamond parure Diana got as wedding presents from Gulf State potentates, the Prince of Wales Feathers diamond brooch, the massive sapphire surrounded by diamonds the Queen Mother gave to Diana as a wedding present, which Diana had set on a five strand pearl choker, her 18CT gold watch . . .

The statement is ludicrous on its face.

Thank you for answering that, R521. You were more detailed than I could have been. I would add that the jewelry that Meghan merched always looked cheap and more suited for teens and women in their early 20s. I'm thinking of some occasions where she wore multiple rings across her knuckles and some earring sets. After she appeared in public, one of her slavishly devoted fan blogs would "reveal" the name of the company that made them. Inevitably, they were Canadian.

The jewelry is practically of no consequence considering all the other astronomical expenses.

[quote]Harry and Meghan are said to be receiving around $2.5 million a year from Prince Charles — who gets his money from the Duchy of Cornwall. All this may seem fine except that Baker writes, “Controversially, Charles is allowed to classify this allowance to Harry as a business expense, which he can set against tax.

From r514's article.

By my estimation Britain turned their back on them. The way MM was treated in the press was above and beyond the negative treatment received by any other royal family member. Mind boggling when you consider one of the Queen's sons is a pedophile and sex pest and his ginger wife has sold out and embarrassed that family time after time. But let's pick on the mixed race commoner because she had the nerve to be born outside the aristocracy and has opinions. She didn't just smile dumbly and go along with however anyone wanted to treat her, how very dare she!! Give me a break. First the public can't wait to get rid of her and now the public complains because she finally took their advice and left. I so feel for them, they can't win no matter what they do.

They were mean to me! Has anyone asked if I'm okay? I just wanted to revolutionize the old fashioned monarchy in order to update it for modern times, but those old fashioned RACISTS wouldn't let me. I am the innocent victim here. It's all about me!!!

R525, who ties your shoes for you?

LOVE You R525 - great to see you fight the vile racist bitches here in such an articulate way.

Articulate? That was so subjective and selective it’s laughable. But your mind is evidently closed so enough of that.

Oh, for fuck's sake. He's a prince. Not a prisoner. He didn't ask to be a prince. It was all just foisted off on him. He did not "run up" a $53 million dollar taxpayer bill. There were other officials on the other side of any agreements made. But the fact remains that the British public and the British media did not respect them or treat them fairly. So of course they left. And good riddance to all they left behind.

Leave him be to live his life in peace and quiet.

LOL Yeah, peace and quiet is just what the Sussexes want. That's why they wrote the book. And why they trademarked Sussex Royal a hot minute after getting married. And why the Duchess is demanding A-list movie role. And since poor, poor Prince Henry had royalty foisted on him, one would think he would have a bit more appreciate for all of the advantages his status has afforded him.

If they had not trademarked "Sussex Royal," someone else would have. And Big Liz would have NO way to stop that merch from hitting market, unless she paid a ransom.

R525, Harry and Meghan won by leaving the whole sorry mess behind them.

[quote]But the fact remains that the British public and the British media did not respect them or treat them fairly.

That's not true at all. The British public was very enthusiastic about Harry and Megan's wedding. Many watched it and were interested in it.

The British press has always been nasty. Sarah Feguson was called the Duchess of Pork. There have been comments about how ugly the York girls are and how ridiculous their hats are. If you watch the show "The Windsors" it's a comic look at the Royal Family and part of what makes it so funny is that they target everything that's been said on these boards. Charles is stupid, Camilla runs the show, the York sisters are lazy and speak with vocal fry, William is pompous, Harry is stupid, Sarah is a grifter, it's all skewered on that show.

The fact is that Miss Meghan and Harry want to be able to be public figures and act however they want to act but they want to silence anyone who says anything negative about them.

Ok Meghan loonies invasion. Time to paywall and shut down.

They ruin every BRF related thread.

Damn them.

Loonies are liars, and poor ones at that. Shoo insect loonies, shoo!

Oh my sides, R525!!!

Not the 93 year old Oh My Sides Troll.

I thought they'd switched off your ventilator, Klan Gran.

R540 is our favorite Me-Again troll! Where've you been, hunty?

Sophie is the favorite of HM's daughters in law. She just buries her head and does her job and HM really appreciates that. in addition, Sophie loves military history, a favorite hobby of HM, and they are known to spend hours together going through the military annals in the libraries of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

Never mind that part of her job is being a beard for HM's youngest son, HM knows and appreciates that too.

[QUOTE]Never mind that part of her job is being a beard for HM's youngest son, HM knows and appreciates that too.

Oh my sides! The Welp Troll is back! You think Meghan is a beard too, don't you honey? Better up your Lithium dose.

Sophie and Edward appear to really like and respect each other and and work well together as parents. I'm not sure how far beyond that their relationship goes. And I don't care.

Out of all of Liz's kids, Edward was the one that had the strongest poof rumors.

This disappoints one because one will do miss one’s weekly in-face meet-ups with Lisbett.

Huh, R546?

Somebody's day drinking...

She’s steady. She’s not going anywhere.

They are going to pump her full of Covid 19 plasma products and she will be out and about soon enough. Her gloves will be noticeably thicker and longer, and her glasses will be replaced with tasteful wrap around safety frames.

F507 - Oh, ffs - with all the truly evil men in the world causing death and destruction, and you waste a bullet like that on that doddering idiot?!

^*R507

Lillibet's probably enjoying the lockdown. She's likely putting her feet up and thinking, "So this is what retirement is like. Maybe Phil and I will go on a cruise. Then again maybe not..."

I'm not particularly a fan of royalty, but surely Her Maj has done more than her fair share of duties as monarch already. The woman is 94 years old, for God's sake. Let her enjoy the final decade or two of her life.

On the contrary, I'll bet she's hating it, r553. This is a woman who has devoted her entire life to public duty, who tamped down every emotion she ever had, every day of her life, in order to be a better at her job and not let her people down. She apparently mourned Churchill's retirement way back by saying that she couldn't imagine having to give up the job since one's whole life was moulded to the job. That was when she was in her 30's.

Somebody should visit her during the night with a wet cloth, she's old she won't struggle much. It was the old heart that gave out.

Butt-hurt Zionist troll espousing murder=R555.

[quote]Somebody should visit her during the night with a wet cloth, she's old she won't struggle much. It was the old heart that gave out.

Shame on you, Camilla. Are you in that much of a hurry to show the world that a courtesan really can become royalty?

Oops--wrong thread.

R555 - ". . . she's old she won't struggle much"

Don't bet on it. She's still out riding at Windsor.

Riding on a pony. Her doctors forbid her riding horses several years ago.

Bullshit, R560.

Another...RIDING LIKE THE BOSS SHE IS AT 92, the headline proclaims.

That looks like a pony to me, r561.

It's a pony, you dipshits. She only rides ponies now! Are you going to believe what the photo captions say or what your eyes can actually see?

My gran couldn't ride a trike at 94.

She's out riding, pony or horse, who cares?

The woman is far from dead.

My gran couldn't ride a trike at 94.

In R562 the horse she's riding looks the same size as his. Are they both riding ponies?

Anyway, fuck you R564, you carwash cunt.

R557: "You did, Val."

At any rate, they didn't "forbid" her from riding horses. They can't her "forbid" her from doing or not doing anything.

"If we so much as see you sitting on top of a horse, Your Majesty, we're going to...."

Crickets.

You don't tell a Queen what to do. You queens outghta know that.

OK. the Royal Physicians have advised HM strongly to ride only ponies now and she has always followed their advice. How do you think she got to be 94 in such good health?

[quote][R557]: "You did, Val." —The Duchess of Cornwall and future Queen Camilla

Excuse me? I had more royal blood in me than those low-rent Windsors.

Sure, she follows their advice, R573. She's practical if nothing else.

The size she is now, a pony is a horse.

The Queen is riding a black pony. It's height is under 14.2 hands; therefore it is a pony.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Let's see what you're riding at 94, R577.

Lest we forget, long before there was Me-Again...

PrinCESS Michael's father was a Nazi party member and an Army officer during the Second World War. In fact, her father had not only been a member of the Nazi party but had also been in the SS, where he held the rank of Sturmbannfuhrer or "Assault Unit Leader" during the Second World War. After their divorce her mother moved to Australia, worked as a hairdresser and the original "Princess Pushy" grew up over the shop.

She was accorded the style and title of Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent, the female equivalent to her husband's title: [bold]not being of royal birth,[/bold] she is therefore not titled Princess Marie Christine.

She's also haughty, gaffe prone (she once complained "The English distrust foreigners, they think the wogs begin at Calais"), and has been linked to other men. Princess Anne first dubbed her 'Princess Pushy' and the Queen once remarked mischievously to her husband's uncle, Lord Mountbatten 'that she sounds a bit grand to us.' Princess Margaret's son was said when asked what he would wish on his worst enemy, 'Dinner with Princess Michael of Kent.' The media have dubbed her half of the "Rent-a-Kents," for their habit of turning up at the opening of an envelope.

Her most famous moment stuffing those size 11 shoes in her mouth came in 2004 while dining at Da Silvano, a restaurant much favored by celebrities in Greenwich Village. Objecting to the noise level at a table of black diners near hers, she first slammed her hand down on their table and allegedly told them to "Get back to the colonies," as she and her party were moved to another table. One of the women at the table, Nicole Young confronted the Princess about her remark. Prince Michael is reported to have replied "I did not say 'back to the colonies' - I said 'you should remember the colonies.' Back in the days of the colonies there were rules that were very good. You think about it. Just think about it." The New York Post reported that the diners thought that the remark was racist. Da Silvano owner Silvano Marchetto, whose restaurant closed after 41 years in 2016, later apologized to the black diners for the princess's behavior. "The phrase was trying to be funny but it wasn't so funny, maybe," he said. "If someone told me to go back to Italy, I would be offended, too." "Royal Bigot", screamed a NYC tabloid, describing the incident as "Pushy Princess Rage" and labeling her the House of Windsor's "equivalent to trailer trash".

In September 2005, she was caught on tape complaining about the Royal Family after a News of the World reporter pretended to be a sheik and gained her confidence while pretending to be a buyer for her home.

While most of Princess Michael of Kent's revelations were pretty harmless (calling Princess Diana a 'nasty' and 'bitter' woman, who had been married merely as a 'womb'), it was her defense of Prince Harry for wearing the Swastika that really raised eyebrows. "But I believe that if he had been wearing the Hammer and Sickle there wouldn't have been so much fuss made."

Princess Michael has a reputation for being someone who cultivates people who can and are willing to be generous in order to have a royal at their table (hence the nickname 'Rent-A-Kents').

Rumors about Princess Michael of Kent's marriage to Prince Michael started almost as soon as they were married. In 1985, she was seen leaving the apartment of Texas oil millionaire J. Ward Hunt wearing a rather tragic red wig, and there were rumors of her canoodling in a New York movie theater with Senator John Warner, ex-husband of Elizabeth Taylor.

The blackamoor brooch was just one of the more recent offenses to good taste, no doubt reflective of her noble upbringing.

R579 - You left out one thing:

She makes great copy.

My grandmother was Princess Hedwig von Windisch-Graetz. I can trace my noble ancestry back to the 13th Century.

Such a young ancestry, PrinCESS Michael.

Datalounge is much more enjoyable now that I've blocked my psycho stalker and the idiot who thinks The Queen is merely a socialite.

I really do hope this all blows over soon. I can't imagine us all being indoors 99% of the time for the next 2 1/2 years.

R583 - Amen.

The Queen has returned! She attended a mini Trooping The Colour ceremony at Windsor Castle. Here is a video of the hightlights.

Swipe for more of the Trooping parade.

She looked lovely.

Sad. Isn't this normally a wonderful display of horsemanship and pageantry?

Now, an old stooped lady looking at a handful of troops trudging in the dirt.

I can't seem to find the BRF gossip thread so I'll post this video of Kate and kindness here.

It's Tiara Time...here is the Burmese Ruby Tiara.

Kate as a man is kind of cute.

Here's another one of Kate as a man.

Swipe for Will as a woman.

At least Megan has had the good sense to stop Jessica from riding her coattails.

Poof...begone **waives royal scepter**

Yes, thank goodness ME! isn't the type to ride on anyone's coattails .

Thank god someone revived this thread!!

Thank god someone revived this thread!!

A few weeks after Archie was born, Jess brought her daughter Ivy to visit. The DM article about it was hilariously shady. They mention that the nonstop flight from Canada was eight hours, and implied that the visit was cut short. There were many photos (from JM herself) that show JM and the kid doing all sorts of activities that *weren’t* Visiting The BFF and Her Baby. It came off that JM flew 16 hours for a weekend trip where she didn’t even spend any time with her BFF and new baby.

Bitch please, Jessica was turned away at the gate.

I don't believe that Sparkles "had the good sense to stop Jessica from riding her coattails." What coattails? Watch your back Muggins, Jess knows everything you've been up to, is shrewd, and your court case is coming up, something she might have some specific info about.

This Post "story" is smeared with SS excrement.
