The Royal Family

[Rowdon]

it would feel like a bit of a p*ss-take to the republicans among us

Not just the republicans. The Royal weddings and coronations and Jubilees are traditional royal celebrations, but i don't think people would take very kindly to suddenly being asked to celebrate birthdays of everyone - we don't really even celebrate the Queen's birthdays do we? I don't think the powers that be can depend on the same level of public affection for William as there is for his grandmother.

Why?

Amazing how quickly time flies, I honestly can't see the broadly pro-monarchy public doing a radical volte-face within the next decade...

Liz won't abdicate, goes right against the grain of the sense of duty which drives her...

Genetically those Windsors seem to be made of strong stuff, no reason to think she won't live to a similarly ripe old age as her mother...

Platinum is odds-on I reckon

I think she will die before getting to the Platinum thing, or she will abdicate. All she wants to do is beat the record!!

No one's hard the heart to tell her Roy Castle is dead she so wont meet him!

She will NEVER abdicate, she has recently re-dedicated herself to her people, I am quite sure that she will make 70 years on the throne, and she could well outlive you!.

This is not targetted at anyone here, honest !.
I have noticed how intollerant some Royalists can be. They seem to fall into one or more of the following groups:
1, Love all of the Royals.
2, Love the Queen.
3, Love the Queen and Prince Philip.
4, Love the Queen, hate Prince Philip.
5, Love the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince William,and The Duchess of Cambridge.
6,Love the Queen,Prince William and hate the rest.
7, Wish that Diana was Queen, despite the fact that she is dead.
What surprises me is the fact that Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge already seem to be like marmite to the Royalists, maybe they are jealous that William married her instead of one of them. I thought that being the son of Saint Diana, anything that William did would be fine and his wife would be protected but it is clearly not the case. If some of them are to be believed, Kate wears the wrong colour dress and it also appears that she only owns one pair of shoes, she gets on "Too Well" with Prince Harry (nudge,nudge) and her parents are gold diggers. Catherine's sister Pippa, is a bit of "a tart", keeps the wrong company and is very talented because she makes a "delicious bacon sandwich". In an ideal world,for a Royalist, Pippa would marry Harry. Then both loose cannons would be controlled.

[Rowdon]

Bacon sandwiches are by definition delicious. You cannot make a bad one.

[icetorch]

Why is Harry a loose cannon? He's a ginger. They just don't know how to behave. Look at what the last Royal ginger got up to, the Duchess of Pork. I'd banish Harry to Ireland and make him king of the Irish. There are plenty of gingernuts over there.

[paul kersey]

Well I totally agree about Bacon sandwiches, but it is the fact that the ability to make one was regarded as a plus point that I noticed.
As for Prince Harry, there may be some dispute as to who his biological father is, but he seems to have many of the same personality traits as Prince Philip,King Edward VII and King Edward VII. Good luck to him !

I am not a Royalist but I enjoyed watching the celebrations that I was able to catch up with. All that pomp and circumstance, people smiling and looking happy, some beautiful music in St Pauls (especially the Diamond Choir) and some dodgy comedy and music at the concert. Sadly, all we have to look forward to for the next few weeks is Euro 2012.


ps - also agree about the impossibility of there being such a thing as a non-delicious bacon sandwich

There is! A vegetarian bacon sandwhich disguised as a real one. It tastes like cardboard!

[Mark O]

I was just being flippant Mark

All I was getting at was, if there ARE indeed plans (and I guessed you might know) to make some big deal of the future King's 30th, coming so soon after the diamond jubilee overkill (in my opinion - I respect it's not yours) it would feel like a bit of a p*ss-take to the republicans among us

I've no idea about any plans Tonch, all I can imagine there'll be is a party at Windsor Castle for friends and family, a private affair, though I've no doubt security will be beefed up after that Aaron Barschak bloke gatecrashed one of his previous do's.

Why is Harry a loose cannon?

Is he? I don't think so. He went through a phase when he was younger, but soon sorted himself out.

The rest of your post about people with titian hair is, at the very least, biased and not worth mentioning.

But that's not a real bacon sandwich .... it's cardboard tasting fake bacon sandwich, a species which should be despatched to the 'dark side' forever!

Because he is just like his dad! That is why he is a loose cannon.

Non Royal fans may also be interested in a programme on Channel 4 this evening, the Royal history of pop, Tommy Steele and Sheila Ferguson are amongst those interviewed, the Three Degrees used to be Prince Charles favourite group, though I think he secretly fancied Sheila Ferguson, who wouldn't, she's lovely...........

"Since the birth of rock'n'roll the royal family has had a love/hate relationship with pop music." Have they?!?

I disagree! As far as I'm concerned,

Why is Harry a loose cannon? He's a ginger. They just don't know how to behave. Look at what the last Royal ginger got up to, the Duchess of Pork. I'd banish Harry to Ireland and make him king of the Irish. There are plenty of gingernuts over there. "

Yes, hyena-ism lives on, and we hyenas are often (erroneously) linked to the devil. But which would you rather be - a gingernut or a werehyena? There's only one male British ginger star that I know of - last seen in the US...
