@cocoaddams4502 what is the problem iwht this? The RF are not models or film stars. They do not have to be good looking
9
@laurenmay2098 of course he knew his mother was dead, but the RF tried to keep his mind occupied with normal things as most poeple do....
8
@laurenmay2098 what are you on about? Are you saying htat having male parnters is nuts?
8
@jamesjackson-df1hi what's he going to ssay that he has not said allready? he's run out of fibs and nonsese by now
8
rather a silly thing to ssay unless one has evidence.
7
@ashleelarsen5002 of course they pay taxes. the queen pays taxes
7
are they?
5
You mean her second husband
4
@laurenmay2098 his father told him his mother had died, how would he not know?
4
@annemoncrieff3875 true, of course it was told to them as soon as the RF had clear information and the boys woke up. they didn't wake them in the middle of the night to tell them but they were told as soon as possible.
4
@laurenmay2098 The British in general descend from the Saxons who are Germanic
4
@cocoaddams4502 considering he did't go to Eton that is pretty impressive
4
@cocoaddams4502 Cambridge is not a school, its a univerisity.
4
what are you on about?
3
because it is a gesture made by people in church? a prayer
3
why? Because he is a bit spoiled and needs a bit of firm discipline?
3
@laurenmay2098 are you saying that George VI was a virgin, because I think you are very much mistaken
3
@laurenmay2098 it was love. He was so besotted with Wallis that he would not consider any compromises....
3
@ladyok6252 he woudl not have security as a non working royal, most likely. he would have security within the Windsor estate if he kept on living there but he did not wnat to live in the UK
3
@laurenmay2098 she was not bitter about marrying the king, she loved him, but she was upset at his early death
3
what are you on about
3
@cocoaddams4502 he went to a private school so again i dont know what you mean. if you can pay the fees and manage the work to a certian extent you will get in. and im surprised you think he went to Eton. he went to Gordonstoun, his father's old school
3
@cocoaddams4502 not in the UK. A school is for children, a University is a third level institution for adults. yes Charles got into Cambridge with poor ressults but he is the future king.. and he did Ok there.
3
@cocoaddams4502 where did he tell Diana he was not going to be the only prince without a mistress?
2
read about a constutitional monarchy
2
dont be silly
2
william is not at all simple or easy going. he is stern, has a temper and is tough.
2
@cocoaddams4502 stretching it a bit to call Philip a Brit?
2
@warrengwonka2479 evidently not in Youtube land. that is a werid place where noone gets divorced, has affairs or remarries
2
evidence?
2
@lorrainearmstrong7587 no, Charles told the boys
2
@catherineward1188 thatnis not the same as saying she was promiscouus for which there is no evidence
2
@katiemartin6991 he did not want Eliz to be known as Princess of Wales, he was a traditionalist
2
@hermindasibug9300 dont be stupid, diana is dead
2
@shanaguilar8352 she didnt love him much/
2
no, he wasn't a nazi but he did say that he thought Hilter ws not such a bad chap, after the war
2
Diana is a distant cousin of Charles' so dont know waht you are talking about. P Edward was as a young man very handsome.
2
nonsense. noone wanted the abdication.. the queen mother took to her bed, the rest of the RF were horrified.
2
@cocoaddams4502 That did not mean that she wanted it to happen. Had Ed remained as King, even if unmarried, the odds were that she would not become queen until she was 70 or so
2
@cocoaddams4502 since Edward VIII did not die till he was 70, the odds were that Geo VI, had he been heir, would not have inherited till he was around 70. Of course the ages mean soemthing
2
@laurenmay2098 she refused him because she did not want to be a royal. she had grown up in a happy warm family and did not want the restrictions of royal life. But she grew to love him and finally decided to marry him and was devoted to him. She was upset at his early death.
2
@cocoaddams4502 she didn't make him feel all that loved. She was impatient iwht him, flirted with other men and he seems to have accepted her domineering as evidence of a twisted kind of love. or made himself believe it. he was bored with their lack of any life outside of socialising
2
@HassanZargari well it was largely the outcry of hte public and press, wnanting to see the RF out there mourning, that pushed the situation where the boys went ou.
2
tell htat to Harry
2
@laurenmay2098 what are you on about?
2
lots of people were anti semitic.
2
nonsense. She used her affair wth Edward to get on in society and he fell madly in love wiht her. Her husband got tired of her and had a new mistress whom he wanted to marry. @c.w.8200
1
what are you talking about? Ed seems to have a stable happy marriage and he's reasonalby intelligent
1
why?
1
Winston tried to find a way of keeping Edward on the throne because he was a royalist and had been fond of the POW. @GoddessDiv
1
@MrBulky992 Churchill did support the King because he was an old fashioned romantic and thought that Edward should have the woman he loved but he afterwards admitted he had been wrong.
1
what are you on about
1
who?
1
@hedaheda1609 I know
1
@jeanniecooper7390 evidence?
1
it seems vy foolish because they are not king and queen
1
what are you on about
1
@cocoaddams4502 No Im asking why you are saying this. Presumably you saw it somehwere, in a book or TV programme so why not tell me? what has Charles buying jewellery got to do wiht anything.
1
are you serious? the world has changed since the days of Edward VIII. Millions of people now are divorced. People do not put up iwth unhappy marriages any more.
1
@gailweston1431 nonsense. Charles stayed in a miserable marriage for years, because of his position. He only got out when Diana went public about the marriage, he could hardly marry Camilla back in the 1970s but once it was possible to do so, he married her
1
@cocoaddams4502 He was of German origin and a Prince of Denmark and Greece.
1
@cb4883 absolute nonsense. Edward was not her type at all.
1
not relly. HIs biography was critical and his private letters were nasty about his family @shirleyminassian1547
1
what commercial opportuntiies? he had an allowance from the RF but hardly a fat pension. @blahblahblahblah729
1
dont talk nonsense @SandraPrice-c5g
1
@user-ze5uh2bx8l how exactly?
1
news will come out, if a TV station or paper wishes to run the story @CaliforniaLeavin
1
@terrybardy2848 what possible comparisons can you make between Madonna and the RF?
1
@junescoular292 you do surprise me
1
@junescoular292 eh? YOu know I was being sarcastic, It is hardly news that royal men frequently had mistresses.
1
this is not true. Edward was not allowed to be in combait, because he was heir to the throne and he wished that he could fight. he only visited the trenches to boost morale. @jaynecampbell4396
1
@muirgirl what nonsense.
1
Diana and hte queen Eliz are dead. the present queen is fine.
1
what are you on about
1
rubbish
1
what on earth do you mean? Queen Alexandra certianly did not have any children before her marriage
1
@harrytree7808 what evidence is there of this?
1
what are you on about
1
try and work it out?
1
@demitasse22 ?
1
@Gaeliclass what does that mean? If it means I give incorrect information that is completely untrue.
1
what are you on about @Gaeliclass
1
makes no sense. @Gaeliclass
1
actually I dont. @Gaeliclass
1
you seem to be insinuating that Im giving incorrect information. so what am I saying that is incorrect @Gaeliclass . i have given longer explanations but noone ever replies to them to refute them. SO I Dont feel there is much point in posting a long answer
1
we didnt love him at all.
1
very interesting. I wonder how m uch time Charles spends stealng? Is he a burglar? @dragosapina5692
1
you're not making any sense
1
@christinegatto7426 really?
1
@beautyonabarnbudget can you point to some please?
1
thats hardly rampant promiscuity @blahblahblahblah729
1
@blahblahblahblah729 one or 2 affairs is hardly being promiscuous.
1
@laurenmay2098 obviously.
1
why do you say that? They seem happy enough and are unlikely to divorce.
1
because she was dead?
1
what are you on about?
1
rubbish. Edward did not want to give up any power that he could hang on to, he continued to phone the new king and hassle him with advice, and he felt he shd still be treated as royal, and he certainly was very greedy for money
1
@terryhuffaker3615 yes what else could she become
1
who?
1
@laurenmay2098 he was not a socialist supporter, he was pretty right wing
1
because the govt is elected and so has the bulk of power in the state. The king has mainly a ceremonial and representational role
1
what are you on about?
1
I was asking a question about an incoherent post. THere is no King DIck III. There was King richard III. @Karen-d6p8s
1
@warrengwonka2479 yes, true.... but it wont stop people saying things like the queen does not see her at all...
1
how so?
1
@donsarde so how come George VI was not revoltingly extravagant? ANd the British upper classes fought the War against Nazi Germany
1
why? IS she the first royal bride to be divorced? No.
1
@MPV919 no, he did not. read the transcript.
1
@jamesjackson-df1hi what?
1
@cocoaddams4502 She was not keen on a royal marriage, but she grew to love George and was happy iwht him. She enjoyed being queen up to a point, but she almost gave up royal duties when her husband died....
1
He didnt throw off other women, he tended to cling to his loves
1
@genxx2724 why would he be expecting anything from William?
1
making no sense. Charles helped his family whle he was POW. Now he is King and if he feels responsbility for Harry, he will assist him with his own private fortune, as Harry is no longer a working royal. it has nothing to do with William. I dont think that Chas is helping Harry, and i dont think that William will help him when he is king. @genxx2724
1
Charles has a private fortune. Im sure that he will be more generous to Harry than William wiould be @genxx2724
1
@genxx2724 And Charles has more money now as King, so he will be helping Harry, if anyone does
1
how could David's family reign when he had abdicated?
1
@UnicornsPoopRainbows I dont think so. One reason Anne was not popular was that she was not considered good looking nad everyone wondered why Henry was so besotted with her.
1
why?
1
was it? I thought it was spiteful and nasty.
1
evidence?
1
what are you on about. the first George was alive 200 years before Hitler @carolharris2357
1
you are very wrong
1
@pasimaenpaa2360 I can't follow you
1
nonsense
1
nonsense. Harry has created the rift between himself and his brohter by insinuating that someone in the RF had made a racist comment. Will is obviously furious about that, and will not trust him. Nonsense to ssay that Will and K could work wiht Harry nad Meg
1
i doubt if either of them really regretted it. They had an empty life but they were rich and had each other.
1
what are you on about
1
what are you on about? When Did George VI or the QM meet Hitle.
1
is there a point to this?
1
@comet1227 he was dying anyway, it took a few hours away from his life and ensured him a painless death
