Critics flag ‘worrying trend’ of keeping royal files under lock and key as thousands set for release to public

This should be interesting. A big cover up again, no doubt.

The public have a right to know. Too much secrecy.

Fears grow over censorship of secret Queen Elizabeth and Philip papers

When I have mentioned the name of the person concerned and their relationship to the royal family I have been deleted. Perhaps it is different now that two of the people involved are no longer alive.

I am fairly sure this is to do with Prince Phillip’s long term serious relationship with another woman.

Extiainoiapeial · 11/01/2025 20:20

It will be interesting to know. But sadly, everything is protected when it comes to the Monarchy.

There are many records due for release, but no doubt will be held back.

They are going to be highly redacted and probably mainly concerned with the minutiae of organising garden parties at Buckingham Palace. Makes you wonder why they even bother.

Really?? Who?

Is it to do with them being parasites?

Viviennemary · 11/01/2025 20:28

There are plenty of rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding the royals that are easily found on the Internet.

Of course!

Let me guess… they’re very wealthy and privileged, use their power and influence to keep it that way, and they’re all shagging around?

Penelope Knatchbull

I replied to you with the name and my reply was hidden immediately. There must be some kind of auto block on the name.

In the series the crown, PP befriends an aristocratic woman whose young child sadly died. Perhaps could Google based on that.

ARainyNightInSoho · 11/01/2025 20:55

@SemperIdem
I can see Penelope Knatchbull’s name. It hasn’t been deleted.

ARainyNightInSoho · 11/01/2025 20:56

I mentioned the name of the woman and my post has been deleted.

coxesorangepippin · 11/01/2025 20:56

I mentioned the name of the woman and my post has been deleted.

Was it the same name as @SemperIdem gave, which has now reappeared, or someone different?

ARainyNightInSoho · 11/01/2025 20:57

It’s awful what power the royal family have. The deleted posts are proof.

supercaladala · 11/01/2025 20:58

The name hasn’t been deleted!

Or maybe MN doesn't fancy being sued by 'PK'?
Mn?

@MereDintofPandiculation strangely it is the same name @SemperIdem mentioned which is now visible. This leads me to think that a fallible human being is checking and deleting rather than a bot.

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 11/01/2025 21:01

I think they should be allowed secrets. They're only human. Many of them work bloody hard and didn't choose their lifestyle. I wouldn't want to be in their positions that's for sure! They're welcome to my few quid a year, a million times better than the alternative eg France.

ARainyNightInSoho · 11/01/2025 21:01

@EdithStourton but that is exactly how the royal family are wielding their power. By threatening legal action and having the money to follow it up.

SerendipityJane · 11/01/2025 21:01

A YouTube channel I catch sometimes has mentioned royals being censored out of history

There was talk of British Troops being used to save personal effects from German royals after D-Day as I recall.

Surely this is why Wills should not be sealed?

No one in the UK can seal their Wills unless they go through huge expense and time with no guarantee they can actually seal their Will.
