I read this morning that King Charles has told him he will no longer foot the bill for his £32k a year live in yoga instructor. This shower of free loaders are so detached from reality it’s laughable.

Yoga? He'd be better off doing some cardio.

Inkanta · 11/03/2023 14:27

Expect it's probably a gym instructer/or beauty treatment for men. No way is it yoga.

I was thinking the same - or maybe he just parks himself on the sofa with a few cushions and thinks he is meditating.

hmmm! The downward dog

I suspect this is not the last revelation of things changing. For all his faults, I do think Charles has a much better grasp of reality and chooses a simpler approach to life where possible. Much is dictated to him (including the houses he "owns" though mostly they are not really his to sell of course) I get the impression that Charles would rather not be dealing with extended family matters, he seems he wants to be more hands on with his main role, like his grandfather, including keeping an eye on the government)

No Charles strips away money from others, in this case a good decision. But he does not stint on himself. His Coronation in real terms will cost twice as much as Elizabeth's.

Is that huge inceease in cost due to the massive security operation that will be needed this time? Or is he just spending money on things they didnt at the last Coronation?

sleeplessinsouthhampton · 11/03/2023 14:52

if true it's disgusting the queen agreed this expense for however many years from the public purse

Find it hard to believe he does yoga.

Me to. But I’d don’t doubt for a second he has a yoga instructor on his payroll 🤣

£32k a year live in yoga instructor

😂

OldPunk · 11/03/2023 15:26

Now have an unwanted image of Andrew doing yoga. Put me right off the tortillas and dip I was eating!

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 11/03/2023 15:26

In fairness, what on earth is the point of the monarchy without the pomp and spectacle? If he doesn't keep it coming, people will notice that they're nothing without it.

DessertsForAll · 11/03/2023 15:26

Easy job, but you have to deal with Andrew.

They are doing lots of extra things like a concert. Although the stars they approach to appear keep turning them down. Phil Collins is supposed to have said yes.

IVbumble · 11/03/2023 15:32

Is it Yoga with Fergie?

milti · 11/03/2023 15:34

I’d want more than 32k to do that job😂 - it is appalling that we have been paying for this kind of nonsense

HamBone · 11/03/2023 15:36

i would also assume that my brother was having a laugh, good for Charles.

Now Andrew’s hinting at another
interview, seems that this is the current tactic when members of the RF want money from Charles-pay up or I’ll dish the dirt.

Sounds rather like blackmail, doesn’t it?

Please let there be another Andrew interview!

I can honestly say... it was one of those moments that I remember where I was stood. Basically because I didn't move! Except to whatsapp my best friend saying "are you watching this?!" with her saying car crash!

@Roussette Excellent idea, but the peasants need bread and circuses to distract them from their inevitable fate.

Oh please stop. These worn out phrases are so tiresome. PS You forgot 'cap doffing'

Inkanta · 11/03/2023 17:22

Yoga Time with Fergie and Friends.

Oh the joys of being able to spend Mama's money (well she did have a lot), and now the terror of those essential spends being withdrawn.

Still doesn't make me think any better of Chuck though. He should have held the Coronation without invitees and just a TV/online viewing option. No frills. But no, Chuck likes spending other people's money too, so I wouldn't be admiring his frugality just yet!

You are aware that his name is Charles? , I have no idea who the hell Chuck is !

Chuck is an (often American) nickname for Charles.

jeffgoldblum · 11/03/2023 17:54

Well it sounds ridiculous in these circumstances!

ThePoshUns · 11/03/2023 17:54

Eww the thought of him doing yoga makes me shudder. That yea we deserves more then £32k pa

Gingerkittykat · 11/03/2023 18:09

I find it really hard to believe that Andrew does yoga and chanting or any other kind of spiritual activities so am going to take this story with a pinch of salt.

Of course, it is possible that Fergie would do yoga.....
