Very eloquent Mr Scoular. Wish I could write like that. King Charles (maybe Arthur. Didn't go well for Charles I. Name change possible) will have a job keeping the reputation of the family firm intact after today.
King Charles the third confirmed, PM speech
Still time for him to decide on a different regal name.
Yes - same here Bob. Well put.
Very very upsetting, incredible woman who has been with us through much times of change.
In my humble view the most universally known , loved and respected person, and she was ours.. and part of our lives ..
The sunset over the Palace now is apt ..
My mum and her family from Pimlico in London would have been completly devastated...
Rest In Peace Great Lady .
RIP Bluebird.
Yep. It had been mooted years ago that he would take the name "Arthur" but not so.
Confirmed he will reign as King Charles III by the King's office.
👍
Let's hope William gets his chance sooner rather than later. Charlie's another clown like Phillip was.
At least William has a lot of Diana about him, a bit of humanity and humility, less foot in mouth if you will.
I won't be shaking hands with Liz Truss anytime soon.
It was an absurd life, and while there are suggestions she was a rock amidst the world shambling around her, I'd say Elizabeth Windsor and the rest of her institution, with the weight of the centuries behind it, merely stayed put and maintained the status quo, letting the artifice and pageantry do the talking when necessary. This seems to be enough for all those looking or conditioned to look for "identity" or leadership when it's not really anything of the sort. But there we are.
The presence of "royalty" is, amongst other things, a mainstay of inequality and subordination. It's a sad day, and will be a sad week, mostly because it's all a symbol of how happy some are to accept that.
"Royal Aston Villa" in 20 years or so's time? William at least turns up to matches including City away at Villa a few years back.
Truss I am sure has made and will in future make many misdemeanours in her life but I doubt getting her monarch's name wrong would be one of them.
Although being King, I suppose he could change his mind.
Very well put .
Had time for her, most of my life she just seemed a nice old lady. I'm sure she was ruthless and suffered no fools but just seemed reminded me of my nan.
The rest of her dysfunctional family...
Having said that, I do think William tries his best and is most like her. Seems.to know what it's about and respects the privilege.
Rest just take the piss.
RIP
I can't say I'm a royalist and the whole topic rather bores me. But she was a great servant and stateswoman who behaved with a lot of dignity. Demonstrated a lot of 'soft power' for the UK too.
RIP
Well said.
As I’ve said, she was spot on for the role, dignity, quiet but efficient authority, a decent human being who has shown how unelected (and elected) heads of state should behave. But I fail to understand how families can be completely devastated, I s’pose everyone is different but there are far more important ‘closer to home’ things to fret and get upset over. Still, each to their own.
Think this is apt , written about her by Phillip Larkin
In times when nothing stood
But worsened, or grew strange,
There was one constant good:
She did not change.
You never know. He might want to identify as a Queen.
Big first couple of days for Truss
I bet Boris is gutted. He'd have loved bumbling about leading the tributes. Could have tried to get in the knickers of some European royal at the funeral aswell. Poor bloke, bet he wishes he hadn't had that party now.
A bit of Diana about him???? I hope not, she was f*cking nuts, a right basket case and, also, not the beauty some made her out to be. Not a good looker at all.
You’re joking! It couldn’t have fallen any better for her. Takes the heat off her plans to help the poor and unfortunate.
