and just as a side topic; “english royalty” has a notorious history of being violently anti-Catholic
 
I agree with you, for the most part. I don’t think Diana was as innocent as she’d like the public to believe. If you’ve seen the tapes of her speaking with the actor who was helping her give a good speech (she knew she was being taped) she talks about being taken aback when Charles answered, “Whatever love is,” when asked if he was in love at their engagement interview. I think she was infatuated with Charles, but they did not suit each other, whereas Charles and Camilla do.

Didna was young, just 20, when she married, and she had an unhappy childhood and emotional problems. The entire RF should not have used her just because her background made her “good pickings” as a royal wife. Poor girl had bulimia and attempted suicide. She didn’t really get on with anyone in her own family.

I don’t see Charles as a wimp so much as someone trained to always realize his mother was queen. He once said he never even called her “mother,” he had to refer to her as “the queen.” And he always knew he would someday be king, though it seems the queen may live forever! Not that I wish her illness or death. I don’t. I hope I can live that long and be healthy and active.

I think the four of them - Charles, Camilla, Diana, and the Queen - deserve understanding. We are all imperfect. And they all deserve prayers.

I tend to think Charles will be a good king because he’s prepared for so long, and he cares about so many things that would benefit the UK. Time will tell.
 
It is ancient and anti-American, Brian, but one thing I learned from living in the UK and in continental Europe is to respect their customs and culture. Not everyone wants to be American or live in the US.

i don’t think charles will ever be “king”

he has gotten very comfortable in his role as a loser welfare recipient

his sons; well, they seem to be stand-up men

especially Harry

but the whole concept of “kingship” ?

Harry should’ve stayed in the Royal Navy; I’d’ve little doubt he could’ve eventually commanded one of “her majesty’s” ships

What bothers me is talk of “German royalty.” I used to live in Monaco, and there was daily talk of the husband of Caroline Grimaldi, “Prince” Ernst August of Hanover or some such place in Germany. No doubt he’s a descendant of royalty, but Germany is a Republic! It’s not a monarchy! The whole thing was silly. The descendants of the German royal family just carry on with the titles like Germany is still a monarchy! 🤣

Well, your opinion is as valid as mine. I think he’ll be king unless he dies before his mum, God forbid. She’s like the Energizer bunny, just goes on and on and on. They all seem to have the gene for longevity; it was smoking that killed the Queen’s sister, Margaret.
 
germany gave up the “royalty” thing slightly before provoking two global wars

not terribly unlike the assassination the bolsheviks performed on “royal” tsar nicholas & his family; which led to communistic atheism

maybe a stable democratic republic whose elected officials serve at the will of the people ( eg USA) works best…

If this happened… that is if the UK went full blown republic… Her Majesty would remain, to the best of my knowledge Queen of Canada, etc etc. As each Commonwealth Realm is sovereign, the Monarch technically exercises a separate, distinct crown in each realm. The UK Parliament has absolutely no right and no authority to touch in any way the sovereign office of Queen of Canada.
…so I guess the royals would have to move into Rideau Hall in Ottawa and test the limits of Canadian hospitality.
Interestingly, there was a contingency plan during World War II for the Royals to move into Hatley Castle here in BC.

i would not wish to see the “royal family” placed into exile or anything like that happen to them

but history has shown that the windsors are virulent anti-catholics

perhaps an extended vacation on prince edward island would do them some good

and save the beleaguered taxpayers of england some pounds…

Hi,
It is what it is. A lot of ppl loved Diana. Remember the flowers. They’re not fond of Camilla, whether she treats servants nicely or not.
I don’t have a crystal ball.
It will surprise me, if it continues to survive. I am fond of the Queen and Phillip. I’ve bought every Diana magazine and book, I could. I’ve bought Phillips and Elizabeth’s magazines and books. Like the Prince taking us off to live happily… oh my!
Anyway, I think I hope you’re right. I’m not wanting Charles or Camila.
My relatives in England remark and it’s on news sometimes, the argument about the monarchy being needed. I heard them discuss pros and cons.
Time will tell.
In Christ’s love

This is, I think the second time that you have charged the Royal Family with virulent anti-Catholicism, a charge which I imagine would particularly perplex the Catholic members of the Royal Family. At any rate, it is an offensive accusation, and I would urge you either to justify or to withdraw it.
 
One thing (I’m sure there are many) the UK does more fairly than the US, Brian, is to NOT tax people who are not living and working there. When I lived in continental Europe for ten years, I had to pay US taxes for three years even though I was being paid by a European company and living fulltime in Europe.

I just read an article that said Meghan will likely not get any of Harry’s money for at least three years after marriage because the Royals want their investments to remain “impenetrable.” Since Meg is worth about five million US$ from her TV work in the US, she should be able to scrape by on that for the first three years. I know it’ll be tough but if she really loves Harry, she’ll do it.

Now if Harry came to the US after their marriage and got a job, the UK would not tax him (I know they aren’t coming to the US). Not on money he made outside the UK. (This is what I read, I don’t know for sure, maybe PickyPicky does.) At any rate, I’m sure the Queen’s financial advisors have it all figured out, so I don’t need to. 🤣

At any rat;e, I do know the ONLY way Meg can get out of filing US taxes for three years is if she renounces her US citizenship, which would be beyond foolhardy. I realize she plans on becoming a UK citizen, but I also read she will take the route we lowlings take, and it will take three years, at least. When I received citizenship in a European country, it took five years, and they made the men wait twelve! (The male wait may have been reduced to five years by now. I don’t keep up any longer.) I greatly prefer sunny, warm, palm-treed Los Angeles. And I am a native Californian anyway. Glad to be back, though I did like many of the European countries, the UK among them. Beautiful countryside. I still like to visit Europe, but my roots are in California, so here I’ll stay. Unless, of course, I get a marriage proposal from the Sultan of Brunei! 🤣 Not even remotely likely, and I prefer my “California guy” anyway. We are perfect together. I’d never leave him no matter what.

His Majesty is spoken for, I’m afraid. You’ll just have to put up with California. Unless you fancy being Second Wife, of course. 😉

I think I’ll do my best to stick it out here in sunny California. 🙂 It suits me.
 
i wouldn’t quite put my distaste for “royalty” that way

i would just say that we Americans fought a bloody war to be rid of “royalty”

if some irish still have a fondness for genetic tiles, well God bless

the English “royalty” has done your nation no favors…
 
She probably doesn’t care. If you did you wouldn’t join a church just because a king couldn’t get a divorce by a Pope who had far greater issues to attend too. It’s really kind of sad but that’s why Anglicanism began. It’s Protestant but totally separate of the original Protestantreformation. Or revolution.
 
i don’t believe in genetic or hereditary title

the “king”, queen" ", “PM”, “President”, whatever you choose to call the “head of state” should serve at the will of the People and should be elected thereby, not born into a “title”

even the Irish figured that concept out…
