'Queen' Camilla

I wouldn't have called myself a republican before now but I think the 'Queen' Camilla thing has tipped me over the edge.

Pretty audacious considering their history and I think a lot of the public won't agree. I certainly won't be celebrating or even watching coronation.

Tampon fingers is so funny, it will stick with the pair of them, generations will laugh at them.

Only funny to sniggering pre pubescent boys.

And twats

He didn’t. That’s the point.

Posters twist comments, misrepresent the context and then present their false version as a fact states by the PP.

This has been the perfect case study.

So what did you mean when you referred to crabs?

Yup.

Didn't Boris Johnson once say that he'd be more likely to be reincarnated as an olive than to become PM?

TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl · 10/04/2023 16:11

@BillLius

A poster correctly pointed out that your memory was incorrect about Charles saying he wanted to be a tampon inside Camilla.

They then copied the transcript whereby he said he’d like to live in her trousers.

You replied: “Fine, by your logic Charles said he wanted to be crabs. My bad.”

So you quite clearly implied that Camilla has crabs.

Why on earth you’re denying it now I’ll never know. But you said it, that’s what you meant, you’ve refused to provide an alternative explanation - just own it.

TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl · 10/04/2023 15:14

‘Shaking’?

Crikey someone is easily pleased. How unfortunate you have such a full sense of humour

There’s a difference in thinking they’re wholesome and thinking someone has contracted crabs FFS.

Yes quite. For a start I’m not shaking at things that aren’t remotely funny

Camilla seemed to find it quite funny at the time.

Possiblynotever · 10/04/2023 18:08

Anyway, thank those who posted the original conversation, tampax, knickers, boxes of tampax, ending up twirling in a loo and the rest.
I find it funny.
It is not the affair that I am critical about, people do marry the wrong person, affairs do happen, and second marriages may follow.
What I do not like about the two of them is that they bullied a much younger girl.
Bullying is unforgivable.
And, yes, I hear you, Diana came from an aristocratic family, and at 19 she knew she was going to marry someone who would gone off with other women because this is the way it is in Britain with the Royal family...
But is it, really?
because if it is, then we excuse Andrew being a paedophile...you know, that's the way it is with aristocracy...

VivienneDelacroix · 10/04/2023 19:32

I think it would be brilliant if Charles spent his whole reign pissing off the monarchists by doing things they find unsavoury, to the point where the monarchy is no longer tenable, but yet he and Queen Camilla have the most fun imaginable. Go out with a bang - knowingly destroying an outdated, not-fit-for-purpose institution whilst enjoying every last minute of the whole charade.

Name everything he can Queen Camilla - hospitals, boats, aeroplanes, gardens, palaces, etc. Even better, just as there are many examples of things being named Bowes-Lyon after HM The Queen Mother, name as many things as he can Shand.

Welcome Harry and Meghan warmly into the fold on their terms whenever he fancies, because it's no one's business how/when/where he sees his owns son and grand children.

Turn Buckingham Palace into a huge winter garden with plants filling it, hourly sprinklers raining down.

Stop toeing the party line with Andrew and aid his bringing to justice, whilst welcoming Beatrice and Eugenie into the family and making them working royals again.

Have a new National Anthem commissioned- one we can all enjoy.

Live in the tropics somewhere and refuse to spend their twilight years working their arses off, standing on barges giving themselves urine infections.

Start giving his free and open opinions about politics and politicians.

Sell off the rest of the palaces and give the money to charity, or turn them into accommodation for homeless people and asylum seekers.

Renounce the CofE and make it clear that he does not see himself as Head of any church.

Yeah that’s all definitely gonna happen 🤣

Hes already slimming down the monarchy. I’m pro-RF but it’s absolutely the right thing to do. It should be a small few senior working royals and the hangers on (Princess Michael of Kent and her racist attire for example) should be given the heave Ho.

But, unless I've missed something, it's you who's introduced crabs into the discussion? No-one else has twisted or misrepresented something as crabs? So what did you intend to convey?

I agree with you OP didn't they say she would be Princess Consort when she married Charles or was that just them trying to keep the little people happy. The whole institution is a joke and the sooner they get rid the better.

Exactly this. They said there was no suggestion that she would become Queen when they began the campaign to make them acceptable to the public. It was quite clear to anyone with half a brain it was a case of ‘little by little.’ They think the great unwashed are too stupid to realise that it was always the plan. They think they’ve hoodwinked us and that we are too dense to realise it. That is what annoys me most.

They didn’t say that at all.

HighInfidelity · 11/04/2023 00:30

I don’t normally read royal threads. Do they all tend to end like this? I’ll read more if they do!

HarrysFrostbittenWilly · 11/04/2023 07:17

They do @HighInfidelity . The thread is deliberately derailed and insults are thrown around in a bid to get the whole thread deleted. It’s been going on for at least 3 years. This is why the threads that stay up are largely about shoes.

They are just adults playing fancy dress. There is no such thing as a king or queen, just weirdos with money.

But why does it matter? I and many others were perfectly happy for Camilla to be recognised as the future Queen Consort at the time they got married, there was no rational reason for her not to be. They were effectively pushed into expressing the intention for her to be Princess Consort because of all the ridiculous ongoing hysteria around Diana. It was perfectly reasonable for them to hope that the public would over time accept her and take a more rational view, as in fact happened.

@TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl

When they married, Charles promised Camilla would be princess consort . Not ever queen - despite the frothing from the bootlickers on here - he said she would not be queen
It is this change from princess to queen that has people angry . No one cares re queen / queen consort

www.norfolklive.co.uk/news/norfolk-news/camilla-queen-title-charles-king-6210183?intsource=ampcontinuereading&intmedium=amp&intcampaign=continuereading_button#amp-readmore-target

"couple announced rather swiftly that when Charles would assume the throne of King of Great Britain, Camilla would assume the title, not of Queen, but of HRH The Princess Consort.
It is believed that this decision was made out of respect for Princess Diana and public feeling. If you’ve not noticed before, Camilla does not have the title of Princess of Wales, as Diana had been called, but is instead Duchess of Cornwall."

All this is pure distraction from the fact that idiots still clap an ordinary man travelling in a golden coach to have a hat stuffed with looted jewels placed on his head to prove that god says he's king and head of the church. Idiots also ensure that they look the other way re Andrew / Epstein/ Saville / Ball / Mountbatten
Shameful

They said it was intended she be Princess Consort. Not a statement that she would never be Queen, just that at the time the intention was for Princess. It isn't frothing or bootlicking to accept that intentions change. And those of us who accept that are far from bootleggers, mainly we are the one who don't care and are amused by the frothing of those who do.

Oh but they really do! There have been loads of threads with people furious that there has been a "change" from Queen Consort to Queen despite this not actually being a change at all. This thread itself was started perpetuating that erroneous claim that a change has been made from Queen Consort to Queen.

camilla did have the Princess of Wales title. She just didn’t use it. There’s a big difference.

And the Princess consort intention at the time of their marriage was purely about public feeling.

Novella4 · 11/04/2023 08:50

@DappledThings
Oh it was only Charles' intention that Camilla be princess ! Well that explains it .

Just as when Andrw had every 'intention'of helping the FBI

And when Charles said he'd have a slimmed down coronation ! £100 000 000 + later here we are...
Got it
When talking about the royals
Intention =lie
