I guess we'll have to see if he actually has the ceremony or not. It would cost a lot of money for him to become king ( bank notes, stationary etc ) and would likely be only a few years. William is the better choice, and he's popular as well, but I always doubted it was going to change as long as she was alive. How little you understand about the British monarchy.The hereditary principle is sacrosanct and in any case the question of popularity is barely relevant.I would go further and argue that the British monarchy is the opposite of celebrity.It's based - at its best - on self denial, duty and service.Elizabeth epitomized this and Charles and William both understand it. 10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Songlaw Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 There’s not been one event in recent times that wasn’t either surreal or tragic. The Queen’s death is no exception. My sympathies to her family, the Kingdom and her countless admirers across the globe. We are certainly not the better for her passing. Long live the King. ????❤️???? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone be even remotely concerned with the least significant of the royals at this particular time? For the love of Dog, the Queen’s just died.

I give them a week, then Ginger and the Gingers Whinger will issue a statement about how his grief is so much worse than everyone elses' and the attacks on the royal family will escalate because "they kept them apart from Granny". Got to justify the paychecks from netflx. Edited September 8, 2022 by wombat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) A very sad day. Queen Elizabeth dedicated her life to her country, her people and the commonwealth, she has been lived the very definition of duty and device and duty. One constant in the lives of millions through ever changing times. Rest in peace. Long live the King.

Do you think the Royal family read Thaivisa and somehow the truth will be upsetting? These 2 ex royals have done more harm to the Monarchy, and probably the queens health in a few years than Chuck and Randy Andy. It is always the right time to speak the truth. To correct you. Hearing the sad news of the death of a much loved and greatly admired person, is a perfect example of when the only thing you should say is respectful of that person’s memory, or do the decent thing and say nothing. 18 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ballpoint Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 The New York Times, February 7th 1952. Truman was the US President, Churchill was the UK Prime Minister, Elizabeth became Queen. Even if for no other reason - though there is far, far, more that she did, and should be mourned for - no other world leader links that period with the present. We have lost an enormous piece of history. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
