Camilla couldn’t give a fig about being Queen

Queen or Queen consort, please let’s not discuss that.

She has great involvement in issues that she’s bothered about like Osteoporosis, children reading, domestic violence.

Her services, at Local and national level, alone or with The King are regular and demanding for a lady of her age.

Her husband loves her. She loves him. She has made him more human

Queen (or whatever, is the last priority for her)

So do you know the truth and hope others will accept your incorrect claim?
Or do you really not know ?

Read this and educate yourself .

That’s not why he was in Dunfermline greeted by LARGE crowds !

Novella4 · 04/10/2022 16:15

The author was a Privy Counsellor and all that he states is factual .

This is why this rotten 'royal' family is a fairytale . I think some people need to believe the story and don't want the truth .

Novella4 · 04/10/2022 16:16

@Readinginthesun
I didn't say that why he was there .
But he vetted the bill while in his flying visit

I hope no one here is tenant of his! Your rent will be going cup while the rest of Scotland is protected

You talked about “thin crowds “ . The LARGE crowds were in Dunfermline which was being declared a city .
You know , sometimes it’s better to admit you are wrong !

@Readinginthesun

I see that he ‘may have’ 🤣🤣 🙄 is the headline in the article and no factual has been included to show that he did.

Novella4 · 04/10/2022 16:21

@Readinginthesun the crowds I saw were 4 deep .

I didn't think that was a large crowd

SirChenjins · 04/10/2022 16:23

DH’s colleague was there - I can assure you the crowds weren’t thin.

So remind me again what bill it was he was signing @Novella4 ? Grin

Novella4 · 04/10/2022 16:23

@Ohnonevermind
Interesting point.

You see it's all secret . We know he vets them as the queen did . She vetted 100s of bills to protect herself Gand her money form laws that apply to the rest of us

It took the guardian decades to uncover the truth .

No doubt it will be the same with Charles.
Maybe his modernisation will include tells us all when he fiddles the law to help himself only . That would be something

Maybe you should educate yourself in reading?Where did I say they don't cost us anything? I actually said,
They (monarch and MPs) are all part of the governance of the state and as such they all cost us money.
They just don't cost us £350m.

SirChenjins · 04/10/2022 16:30

4 deep if you’re not sure why he was here.

Serenster · 04/10/2022 16:55

I feel for staunch republicans at the moment. They spent years saying loudly “Everything will change when the Queen dies, no one will want Charles as King”. And then the Queen dies, and Charles becomes King and actually people across the country are happy with that - engaged even - and the republicans have totally missed their big moment. I’m sure it will come again! Such is the nature of things. But for now there seems to be a lot of frustrations being taken out on threads like this.

Agree . It gladdened my heart that Sturgeon was booed yesterday.

RandomPenguinHouse · 04/10/2022 17:10

That sounds like you’re gloating Serenster Grin

Nowt wrong with being a Republican.

Changes don’t happen abruptly like that, which is obvious, no? Republicans have no means for systematic change.

The support Charles is getting now is partly sympathy because his mother died, partly because he’s new and the figurehead of an historic change, and partly because people like him. (I quite like him personally.)

But the novelty will die down and the cost of living will go up and we’ll see whether discontent with the monarchy rises or falls.

Serenster · 04/10/2022 17:18

Not gloating, no - I’ve been on the losing side of a enough political issues over the last few years to know what it feels like!

And I agree with your last sentence too - as I said in my post, republican views will cycle back into the forefront again at some point.

Ohnonevermind · 04/10/2022 17:24

I know it’s derailing - I’m in ireland - but Liz truss and her chancellor, what a pair of numpties, I’d rather Charles and Camilla in charge than them.

Show quote history

People were happy that Dunfermline is now a City.

Rapidtango · 04/10/2022 17:26

They might be happy Dunfermline is now a city. They were out on the streets to see the King and Queen.

RandomPenguinHouse · 04/10/2022 17:28

I’m not sure it will need to cycle back as such, I think it’s right there as a base layer under the excitement of a new King at the moment.

I bet for example that the public wish for a slimmed down monarchy is at an all-time high.
