I'm Almost Royal AMA

[AlmostAMinorRoyal]

In line to the throne, but not by several hundred thousand so not worth googling.

I have interesting dress sense.

AMA.

Yeah, stop being so vague.

this is so obviously bull but I keep reading anyway

“Ask me anything as long as it’s not about being a minor royal”

^ 😂😂😂😂
'Ask me anything...but not that'

Op are you related to vera duckworth?

OP on a scale from 1 to minor royal, how much of a minor royal are you?
No porkies this time!

I live next door but one to Carole and Michael Middleton. I've sat next to Carole in the pub, and we see George and Charlotte at the local petting farm. And I was one the personal guest at a major event of a duke. I think this probably makes me about 7th in line to the throne.

Ok. I am a distant descendant of Queen Victoria but have dropped off the line of succession. Unless a very terrible thing happened and the English/Swedish/Spanish families all flew into space and never came back, then I will never step onto the balcony at BP in a hat. Don't google, you'll never find me. I've tried it and only the direct grand, gg, ggg, ggggggggggchiildren appear, not second cousins multiple times removed.

I like Waitrose but I do find that the quality of the store depends on the local manager. I've got three near me but the local branch is dire (bad fruit & veg, stale bread, staff holding meetings about targets and sales techniques in the frozen pea section - go and get a meeting room!). My local Tesco is OK and they sell Himalayan pink sea salt so I shop there instead).

I meet RF bods in social settings. Can't say any more.

DH has an ancestral seat which opens up for private tours but we are not the family in situ.

Maybe we are related?
My relative was the Duke of Argyle, the one that married Princess Louise (Victoria's daughter). Since they had no children the title went to a cousin.

No title, no money and I live in the antipodes.
I did attend boarding school, have elocution and deportment lessons and wish I had a butler.

How can you be a descendant but not a 'direct grand, gg, ggg, ggggggggggchiildren'?
Not being sarcastic just trying to understand.

I don't understand the descendant thing either Q V had no recognised siblings but had 10 children so how can you be fromQV ? I realise I am probably being dense

I have dellusions of grandeur ask me anything

OK. You've got me. Wrong side of the sheets . I told you I was "almost".

Ah if you had just told us that we don't live in scandalised society any more we would have coped with the knowledge

This is utterly ridiculous. You're not almost royal at all

I think I've seen Prince Charles more recently than you have haha.

If illegitimate you would never be in the line of succession so that directly contradicts your previous post....

Ah that makes more sense and is probably more interesting

"I am a distant descendant of Queen Victoria but have dropped off the line of succession. "

But... you can't have dropped off... you might be 3482nd to the throne, but it would still be there if you were a descendant of Victoria :/

can you at least tell us which of her children was your ancestor?

@00100001 Probably Edward VII. He was very enthusiastic about the ladies. I went to school with at least one of his descendants, but male and therefore unlikely to be OP.

I don't really see the point of this thread, OP clearly isn't royal... at all!

I might have mentioned a name.

God I bet you make this you talking point at parties or in team bonding exercises. This is astoundingly pathetic.

Ok if you 'might have mentioned a name' then you won't mind repeating it clearly this time so you can answer the questions you've been asked...which is the point of AMA

My parents had a Charles n Di mug once.

Get those questions rolling in...

johnny OMG!! do you use it to make Liz a brew ???
