Camilla if Charlie pegs it?

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…

Okay so in popular culture the word has changed its meaning

So what

the original meaning is as i stated and a stated they are avitars

Avitars (avatars?) or aviators

It would be helpful to stick to one word when sneering at others

The use of the word aviator for pilot goes all the way back to the 1880s so its not exactly due to "popular culture" that people are thinking you mean pilot when you say it

Interested in this thread?

No it hasn't changed, an aviator still means pilot, you are thinking of avatar which is a completely different word haha.

It is your mistake!

Very much your mistake

But for clarity

Aviator is a pilot, the etymology comes from the Latin avis for bird, e.g. in the way you see avaian for birds. Makes sense given its referring to something to do with a flying machine.

Avatar comes from the sanskrit avatara which translates into descent I believe. It can refer to an alternate form of God. However this is a Hindu belief and the King is Christian so I'm not even sure why its appropriate to apply a Hindu term to him anyway.

So the etymology isn't even the same for when you are being so scathing at people

MeinKraft · 07/02/2024 03:04

Tbf Prince William does have his helicopter licence, so you probably could describe him as an aviator Grin

I have no clue why you conflate my derision of the royal family with ordinary people suffering from life threatening illness you do not make any sense

Your use of the phrase ‘pegged it’ is insensitive, crass and purely used for shock value. The royal family won’t see your attempts to be edgy but other people with cancer or family with cancer will.

If you genuinely don’t understand that you either struggle with emotional literacy or are being deliberately being obtuse.

If you were genuinely after a discussion that could have been had without that phrase in the title. Also, maybe step away from the media if you’re fed up with the coverage - I haven’t seen a single thing about it barring the pop up on my phone yesterday. It’s not hard.

What an incredibly rude thread title

Agreed. Awful and also, very telling.

The first time i heard the phrase 'Queen Camilla' the stupidity of it all properly hit home to me.

I really didn't think he'd get his way with her having that title.

She's married to the King, why would she not have the corresponding title?

x2boys · 07/02/2024 09:18

FancyBiscuitsLevel · 06/02/2024 19:29

To be fair @Honeychickpea - she was the OW before becoming the wife. (And also to be fair to Camilla, rumour has it she wasn’t the only OW.)

Diana wasent exactly a paragon of virtue either

ifonly4 · 07/02/2024 09:23

I get your question, but came on here to say what an awful, disrespectful title, no matter what you think of someone.

x2boys · 07/02/2024 09:24

CreateHope · 06/02/2024 22:19

@Maireas the royals always insisted she’d never be given that title due to the whole “Diana debacle” which is why they came up with the silly Consort title - which of course they dropped within days of her becoming Queen 🙄

The wife of the King are always Queen consorts.
Its not a silly title just made up for Camilla

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 07/02/2024 09:28

But she won't be queen will,she? Won't that be Katherine as William will be King..

I'm getting flashbacks to September 2022 and at least three threads trying to explain the difference between Queen Regnant and Queen Consort and wht Camilla is the latter. She'll be queen if and when Charles dies - she just won't be queen consort as that will be Kate. The most likely title is Queen Dowager.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 07/02/2024 09:32

the original meaning is as i stated and a stated they are avitars

That's AVATARS. 🙄

Oh I forgot. It's half term, isn't it?

HumanBurrito · 07/02/2024 09:44

@TeenLifeMum aye and King Andrew on the throne for 40 years would be just great 👍

Karensalright · 07/02/2024 09:48

OMG I spelt AVATAR incorrectly. Done 100 lines before todays post.

Episode 2 papers and journalists now slagging Hooray Harry off. How very predictable.

Just speculating here, will randy Andy pop up tomorrow to see if we are ready to rehabilitate him yet?

I think its more of the fact that you were sneering at others for mis using the word Aviator
When it was in fact you that was wrong
I'm not a royalist either

You think Trump the president at the moment? Wow, you don’t get democracy at all, do you? 🙄

I thought the same.

2dogsandabudgie · 07/02/2024 10:33

It isn't just the fact that you spelt avatar incorrectly, it's that you don't know that an aviator is another word for pilot. You sneered at me and it has backfired on you.
