onthedarkside Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations mark a big turning point for the operation of the British monarchy, according to a leading royal expert Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next week have an urgency to them — honouring the 96-year-old before the British monarchy changes “dramatically,” according to a leading royal historian. “If you think about it, this will be the last really huge time to celebrate the Queen publicly and thank her,” Hugo Vickers, who has written extensively on the family, told Page Six. “This has been an extraordinary golden age that she has presided over and things will change dramatically at a certain point, so I think these few days will be really important. Everyone must get out and celebrate her.” The events, which begin Thursday and run through Sunday, June 5, mark the monarch’s 70 years on the throne.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted May 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2022 Love the queen, and all she does for the UK. Can't say I am an adamant royalist, but I think she is a very special lady. That said - all her offspring are clowns ! Charlie should not bother and just hand it over to his son and Kate, Did that the monarchy may continue as there is feeling for those two, but with charles at the helm the monarchy could be doomed 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean all the wealth of those "Royals" will go to where it comes from? Good Idea to finance the rotten health system or schools?

Morrison? Bond? Barnaby Joyce? Gina Rinehart? James Packer? Renting a hereditary HoS does have its functions as a bulwark against despotism.

Look at the monarchies in the EU and how they are run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despotism reared its ugly head in 1973 when the Queens representative decided he could overthrow the elected government. The single most shameful period in Australian politics. I support a republic fro oz but I also think we should acknowledge the Queen's service in her twilight years. After she's gone it's all gonna change and change quickly. Not many will support Prince Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He consulted his assistant, Tofiq Bahramov; after a brief conversation in broken English, the Swiss referee awarded the goal to the home team. The crowd and the audience of 400 million television viewers were left unsure whether the ball had crossed the line and whether the goal should have been given or not. England went on to win the match 4–2 and secure their first and only World Cup so far. Well you believe in Madonnas hands of god as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
