Camilla if Charlie pegs it?

[Karensalright]

sick of listening to a blow by blow account of the kings prostate and some other unknown area of his anatomy that is in bother.

But it did set me thinking about the OW, Camilla. Am sure Charlie will provide for her from his personal wealth in his will, but what on earth would we be expected to call her after Charlie’s death?

I mean we cannot call her the Queen mother like Queens Liz mother, she has no biological relationship with the royals at all.

In my experience adult step children grin and bear their parents new spouse but rarely stay in touch after the parents death. You only have to look on the posts here to know that.

It would, I suppose, be up to King Willy, could be a source of amusement for none royalist folk like me,

Listening to endless royal experts waffle on about it all when it happens.

I just a thought…

What a horrible way of talking about people.

@TraitorsGate why put it in the bin are you that intolerant of a different opinion, if so go away.

To peg it or peg out was a common phrase used by soldiers in WW1 taken from the game of cribbage but that was a long time ago and we have moved on from that now.

No, it refers to a previous queen who is mother of the current monarch, eg Queen Mary was also Queen Mother when she was mother to Edward VIII and George VI.

What a horrible thread

Given the PP used the term to refer to Kate, I think there was a 'double entendre' there !

I hadn't realised the phrase was only in use in the midlands .

William can hardly be unaware that his mother was also unfaithful, repeatedly and flagrantly. His mother had many admirable qualities but she was troubled and she was an attention-seeker. If she'd put on her seatbelt that night in Paris she would probably still be alive, struggling with the ageing process. She'd have been 63 this year. It would have been difficult, I think.

Agreed, and I am no Camilla fan, nor a Royalist.

@TraitorsGate That is also correct so it is possible that dying over the trenches for king and country as pegging it is how it got in to common parlance in Birmingham.

My great uncle was a Chindits (crack non conscript forces) in WW2, disappeared for two years, fighting in the Burmese jungle. He said he was lucky not to have “pegged it”.

I have some of his letters to his mother and grandmother. He hated Churchill, Chamberlain and the Royals.

But the royal family refer to her as Catherine, not Kate. Queen Catherine sounds ok. But hopefully it will be a long time before William becomes king.

@FrancisSeaton "Diana was more the other woman"

Not sure how that works....

Any of these euphemisms sound any better for the professionally offended out there?

Popped their clogs
Pushing up daisies
Sleeping with the fishes
Bit the dust
Kicked the bucket

FGS the word "died" is nearly gone from the lexicon now. It is "passed away" or "passed" these days. So anything goes I think.

When you're dead, you're dead, but death is the last frontier in the UK. Mustn't mention it. Shush.

But there's nothing like a cracking good wake though.

@MalcolmTuckersSwearBox well you were not wrong nearly put a warning in the post but thought that would be goady, not my intention. A derail is going on but giving me some amusement, as i don't usually come across royalists apart from my mother.

luckily i cannot be hanged in the real world.

It is reasonable to assume the possibility that the Queen Consort Camilla will live longer than King Charles III, even if he was not presently being treated for cancer.

I hope the question will not arise in reality for a long time.

Nasty piece of work wishing the death of someone. What kind of vile person are you

Again, that reflects more badly on Charles than on Camilla. To marry a very young woman under false pretences, having no intention to be sexually faithful. But again, perfectly acceptable behavior among his class.

Thats says a lot about you. Glad to see your post has been removed

@Honeychickpea "Again, that reflects more badly on Charles than on Camilla. To marry a very young woman under false pretences, having no intention to be sexually faithful. But again, perfectly acceptable behavior among his class."

It reflects badly on both of them. Charles is beyond the pale to me-an appalling human being. But Camilla made grim choices too.

Goodness, i will be 63 next year! How should I prepare for such difficulty?

@Kinneddar Stop being silly so I you don’t like what i say, about the royal farce thats fine by me. But i can say it.

I assume you're not one of the most famous women in the world

@Honeychickpea gosh what are we old folk to do, Botox, plastic surgery, nails,

hate to admit i would have love to see what she would have looked like.

They both cheated on each other.

I have a more nuanced view on infidelity. People rarely step out of their marriage if everything is hunky dory and perfect. My H has cheated on me. I therefore have every reason to be bitter about OW. However, it is far from his defining characteristic. He is a good man who monumentally messed up and nearly lost his wife as a result. I have messed up in other, just as damaging, ways which led him to think someone else would be a better option.

Charles and Camilla are now married and far better suited than the first wife. Camilla is no longer an OW and to keep referring to her as such just makes people sound like petulant children who can't accept the adults have moved on.
