Club Penguin Royal - the intricacies of the monarchy etc

[yoloPenguinsEatfish]

Have taken the liberty of starting a new fred if no one else has?

A bit of fluff from the Mail about how other RF members are stepping up to cover for HM and PC:

With the hilarious /alarming conjecture that "should the Duchess of Cambridge fall pregnant during the pandemic, the Palace would have to go 'on bent knee to Prince Harry to ask him to act as placeholder'

I can't see William and Kate doing that in a hurry.

Get well soon Dandy

Good to see you @DandyPenguin! x

Lol yeah, courtiers will certainly want that loose canon back

I only lurk here but just wanted to say get well soon to dandy and anyone else suffering the dreaded c (or anyone else who is just poorly of course)

This video popped up randomly on my you tube recommended list:

made me think of these threads

Is someone feeding the press utter shite? On what planet would those two narcissistic fools be welcomed back by the British public? What idiot would regard and trust him as a senior royal after all this?

They’ve backed themselves into a corner haven’t they?

Linked to the ‘Random Encounters’ film that Meghan is in - hopefully, you can all help me process the anger that I felt when I watched it. I became anti-monarchy again. She is a truly terrible actress. Really bad. Given what’s going on, I had a surge of deep anger and resentment for having to pay, literally, millions and millions for her. She offers nothing. Nothing. I also felt angry at the Queen for allowing it. I also felt angry at William’s message today - getting money off people in dire straits while he buggers off to Norfolk or wherever. I know that life is not fair, they are worth it, blah, blah, but, seriously, that film unhinged me. Anyone else feeling like this? Word of warning - whatever you do, don’t watch that film while isolating.

Barley I’ve only seen one interview ever with MM and I stopped it two minutes in. I will never inflict that on myself again.

I've just seen Harry's Invictus announcement. Has Meghan locked him in the bathroom??!

Why do both of them often look so disheveled? Surely they have servants that know how to iron? And they own mirrors?

OMG I laughed so loudly I was proper crying at that video 😂😂😂😂😂

@Brainfoglightson that made me smile... and crave a penguin bar - cheers for that

@Icantreachthepretzels thank you for delurking to wish me and others well I hope you have access to a stepladder if you isolate so that you can indeed reach the pretzels.

I thought Harry was rather sweet and very natural in the Invictus video. But the location and set-up is quite odd. He looks like he's sitting in the pub in front of a panelled wall! (I know he's not, but where is he?!)

Dear Dandy - get well soon.. I thought Harry looks like he's in the kitchen, surely that's a kitchen cupboard to his left? He did seem very sweet, ernest and confused. What is left for him now?

Yes I did wonder whether it was a kitchen but that didn't seem quite right either!

I meant the bad lip reading video, not the invictus video .

Their plans have had a coach and horses driven through them by recent events, haven’t they? All non-essential events being cancelled worldwide, travel restrictions and the film industry going into meltdown, with film launches being delayed and cinema audiences disappearing. What on earth have either of them to offer in terms of skills to enable them to become ‘financially independent’ now?
Will we see a large slice of humble pie being consumed, perhaps?

However I fear they’ve burned their bridges withe the British public, none of whom were in a forgiving mood before the CV outbreak and noticeably less so now.

I don’t know TimeLady people do forget after a while. Camilla was loathed & look at her now!

Hard to be very sympathetic when they won't have to queue at supermarkets, suffer food and other shortages, will not be financially disadvantaged by being unemployed, are still apparently living in luxury with staff and security.

I am not at all interested in what they have to say about the Coronavirus situation and how the world needs to respond to it. They are about as far removed from it and its consequences as it's possible to be.

The DM have savaged them today. I hope they read it and take note. Their Instagram is full of angry and disgusted messages, yet they just don’t seem to get how inappropriate they are being. The message from Harry was well meant, but the setting was odd and off putting. He looks like a hostage trying to communicate to his family. At least he’s not spouting platitudes like his wife.

The thing with Camilla is that she/they/us can rewrite history to say that it was/is the love match of the century. Camilla kept quiet and did not call the Royal Family “toxic” and the British public “racist”.

The bridges have been burned and the ashes have been launched into space.

Camilla kept her head down, worked with her chosen charities, turned up and looked the part when required. At the start, people were even throwing bread rolls at her in the supermarket ffs! Imagine how M would have (not) coped with that.

Still, I suppose they are still giving us something to think about other than Covid19. Any distraction's a good 'un at the moment.

Harry has made it clear that he hates Royal engagements and Royal life. He can’t be brought back whatever happens. He’s not fit for purpose.

Belated from me, Dandy

In Harry's hostage video he was blinking a lot. I believe that's how captured under cover forces communicate. He's signalling "H E L P G E T M E O U T OF H E R E"
