sidcow Posted October 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2021 The Queen spent Wednesday night in hospital apparently, but is now back at Buck House and "in good spirits" Sounds very like Phil the Greek, didn't they say the same sort of stuff with him?

Popular Post Davkaus Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2021 I do despise "royal correspondents". They're on the same level as writers for celebrity gossip mags, but seem to genuinely believe that they're serious journalists. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 'gossiping about the health of the monarch' is probably up there with farming and prostitution in the 'things that people have been doing for thousands of years' stakes. And while it might seem completely trivial, it isn't quite. We used to think 'the health of the monarch is the health of the nation', and while the last few hundred years of political philosophy have demonstrated how stupid that idea is, the British monarchy has survived by making itself completely ceremonial and powerless; there's not many interesting 'royal stories' and at this stage of her life all we're waiting for is for her to die. No wonder Witchell is sour about being gazzumped to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, she is a 'symbol'. No real power, no real authority. So when she does pass, she will remain to be the same 'symbol' to us mere mortals. So nothing will really change, but Charles certainly seems more 'hands on' so it might get more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nothing against the person, I don’t know her, just her PR machine. I’d be happy for Charles to be the very last prince of Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I don't mind the Royals, I don't think about them too much. But I went to Alnwick Castle up North a couple of weeks ago, and learned that "royals" own and sometimes still live there (3 days a week in the winter) and that was hugely vomit-inducing to me. Who pays for the Duke of Northcucumberland or whatever? The Queen (us) bank rolling them too? The place was incredible. Nice to know they had a second home (palace) up in Scotland to get away from the riff raff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
