chasfh Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I find it amazing that no one on Earth under the age of 70 has ever lived at the same time as a King of England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First born is heir now, but there are a few generations of first born males already in line. If the Monarchy holds on, it's only a matter of time.

I sort of get why the UK cares but no idea why the rest of the world still does. They are currently a topic in 3 different threads here at the moment. They are like a less talented version of the Kardashians. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand all the hoopla. At least in this case she had been a very public figure for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gilmore Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think it’s fine to admire QE, and think the rest of the family are duds. And not pay much attention to them, while respecting her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't care about them as people but I'm into all the pageantry. I like that kind of thing about anything. The longest wedding I ever went to was an Orthodox one and it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last icon of a monarchy that has outserved its usefulness especially with the following generations. 4 minutes ago, oblong said: I don't care about them as people but I'm into all the pageantry.

They are a more modern version of pageantry. They are far more entertaining, attractive, successful, and of course self-made than the Windsor family ever will be.

pfife Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I was pretty much oblivious to the royal family until I got sucked into watching "The Crown" on Netflix and now I'm somewhat interested. I thought that show was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigeraholic1 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Came home for lunch today. My wife was watching TV in the other room and I thought she was watching GOT's but it was Charles talking about his Mum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
