Now comes the questions, We've heard them all before. I wonder what sort of guns do they favour.? O/U or SbS, Chokes. yes or no. What shot size and load for a royal cock bird? I wonder what they are doing today.? Has Kate got a luny spaniel on peg.? Just think what that silly boy drew away. like Edward the seventh. His life just withered into a nothingness. Our lot won't comment on it and after all they don't need to. they have the titles, the land, the jewels, the position. they have everything. They don't need to justify themselves. after a while the other lot will fade into being nothing except local celebrities. A lot of similarities twix the markles and the simpsons......who ..as Minky says faded away to a sad nothing...... History does have a habit of repeating itself......

I had the pleasure of meeting William many years ago when he was having shooting lessons with Steve Denny at Churchill`s shooting ground, High Wycombe and he told me that he owned and shot with a pair of Asprey side by sides.

amateur Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Perhaps they should move to the Villa Windsor, Paris. I understand that al-Fayad, the current tenant, has maintained its faux-regal style and would no doubt regard the couple as worthy successors to the Windsors.

JohnfromUK Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Through his rash and stupid things he has been saying, he has given useful propaganda to the Iranian regime. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/prince-harry-accused-war-crimes-26000603 I read elsewhere that Clarkson may lose his series of both Clarksons Farm and Grand tour. Clarkson was stupid to say what he did - and I'm amazed that his editors let it go to print. However I fear that the Markle woman will now do her best to cost him dearly. Although he has apparently apologised to the Markles, they want his total humiliation - as they do the King and current PoW and their fuily family humiliated and apologising to the Markles who want to look as if they were in the right all along. Preach compassion and kindness .............. and do you best to blackmail people into total humiliation. It is getting very messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get concerned when I read in the news of Iran accusing UK of war crimes based on what he has said/written. That could get serious for UK citizens/armed forces if acted on by terrorists I do get annoyed when I hear that Clarkson may be sacked - because (selfishly) I enjoy watching both Clarkson's Farm and Grand Tour. Clarkson is wealthy and 'savy' can look after himself, but I will miss his shows However, I have neither bought nor read the book; I have not watched any of the interviews (but have seen bits in the news) and I will not be changing that. I do feel very sad that Charles, Camilla and William are being smeared and cannot easily 'reply'. I do feel annoyed that (apparently many) staff have been bullied and sacked and it is being hushed up. I do feel annoyed that H & M seem to be able to say what they like (some of which is demonstrably untrue) without any ability to correct the record.

My bet is that they will try an "attention grab" around the coronation - possibly by; Not revealing if they will attend or not until the last minute (that will get lots of 'will they, won't they press coverage) IF they don't attend - making a big fuss that "the Palace team" made it impossible for them - no security - no VIP seats - no place in the processions ....... etc. IF they do attend, trying to upstage others and complaining that he is unable to wear uniform etc, and complaining when they don't get front row seats I think the King will invite them (Harry is his son after all) - but on the terms that he doesn't wear uniforms, medals etc. and gets a 3rd row (or further back) seat behind those who actually work for 'the firm' and no actual part in the ceremony, procession, balcony appearance etc. Edited January 29, 2023 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
