Passing of a Monarch

down the track if william was king and no longer there, kate would potentially become the queen mother, if that title was bestowed upon her by the new king.

dunno where that sits in the pecking order!
2nd woman from top between Queen Regnant or Consort and Princess of Wales
 
Was in Berlin when HM passed, so visited the British Embassy to pay our respects.

Had to run the gauntlet of the German media who were trying to interview everyone. Found it interesting that most leaving flowers seemed to be German speaking.
 
its official: Queens funeral is a big deal (The Oz on line)

AFL’s Brownlow plan for potential Queen funeral clash
- Sam Landsberger, Glenn McFarlane and Jon Ralph

The Brownlow Medal has been brought forward 24 hours to ensure football’s night of nights won’t clash with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

While Bucking Palace has not yet locked in Monday, September 19 for Her Majesty’s funeral, it is almost certain to land 10 days after she passed away in Belmoral.

The AFL on Saturday committed to a Sunday night medal count out of respect for the funeral service arrangements, which will command the watery eyes of the world.

I don't get the hate on Meaghan. I do believe she was never going to be accepted by the Firm and Harry/her made a wise choice to step away and move to the US. Media deals have been made by others royals in the pastl. Who cares what they do.

I think the slagging-off-and-innuendo-for-cash (x2) may have something to do with it.
 
Now Kate will need to change all the names written on their books. ;)
Dammit. And resew all those labels on their clothing. Lunchboxes. Pencils. Sigh.

re Meghan. Not a fan at all. Her media deals are based on dishing the Royals and with the racist comments, well, as very much an interracial family myself I think it likely that her interpretations of discussions on how the babies may look are off base and convenient for her story telling.
 
There was plenty of warning about Meghan....look at her relationship with her own family especially her father! I predict that Harry will one day come to his senses and divorce her!

But not as if it hasn't been done before. If they can make some money, good on them.
Whilst I did have a soft spot for Lizzie, the whole monarchy thing is an anachronism - there were things that really went against the grain, including the hiding of the sources of wealth etc. The wall to wall coverage is driving me nuts.

And if he does, that is not newsworthy - lots of people divorce every day. No different from anyone else.

Except for her mother, the entire extended family is toxic and dad was after his payout by association.

I've been estranged from my mother for years, sister estranged from her for 20+yrs. People don't just wake up and decide to cut people off.
 
Watching the Proclamation Ceremony, I must say they do a jolly great show.

Having travelled through London and visited many of the places shown makes it even fascinating to watch.
This is only the “Registry office” bit. Wait for the full pomp and circumstance!

Small funeral to get through first.

Not been done before - by a member of the Royal Family? Its not as if Orpah was interested in them except they were part of the Royal family. If Harry wanted to just bug-out with his beloved, he should have taken a lead from the last member of the Royal Family who married an American and stepped back from the Royal Family.. At least Edward VIII retired overseas with some dignity, albeit equally bitter as Harry.

Many of the (former) 'good and the great' just bit players, making up the numbers :)

The Brits really do pomp and ceremony well. Classy.

I think KC3 just closed the door on any return.
"I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their life overseas."

How many of the 200! privy council members do we really need to see sign documents!? Relevance?
Well, no one is complaining about vote rigging like they have in the home of democracy 🤣

But seriously, this is to show the Monarch is there by the will of the people and for the people.
