The royal family

Charles did well today in Germany

I never post on this forum. I am not a massive royalist and have been dismayed recently with all the shenanigans. But with all the division going on I so loved listening to Charles speak in Germany today.

Respect that he did so much in German. That is such a warm gesture. He is in Germany so he speaks German. Shame more Brits can’t do the same when abroad. And also lovely to listen to the peace and warmth in his voice.

I am being an optimist and think solidarity and togetherness is the way forwards.

I'm American, so needless to say, I have quite a few opportunities to refer to myself as another nationality.

'My Mum has red hair and is from the York area, I think I shall start referring to my family as 'originally Viking' 😂'

I would so do that.....

The more I think about it, the more it appeals 😂

In fact, the one nationality you can't claim 'originally' is American!

Fgs. As if she'd make a white supremacist hand gesture Confused. We know twitter is full of nutters but this takes the biscuit.

Coxspurplepippin · 31/03/2023 19:17

FFS - do you honestly think that? Really? Absolutely gobsmacked that you've posted that photo in all seriousness.

Rhondaa · 31/03/2023 19:19

'Hopefully it’s just Twitter nonsense.'

Love the way you say hope it's just twitter nonsense when you're the one saying hope she can desist from making supremacist hand gestures and then helpfully post a picture 🙄

From what I've been able to determine from various accounts, Prince Philip grew up essentially tri-lingual in English, German, and French.

Thank you, I couldn't find anything definitive. That's quite impressive.

Looks like Camilla had an itchy thumb to me.

SidekickSylvia · 31/03/2023 19:49

That's funny. Every time I scratch my thumb with my forefinger I'll think of Camilla being misinterpreted on Mumsnet. (I wouldn't be a member of the royal family for all the money in the world.)

SidekickSylvia · 31/03/2023 19:51

Oops, crossed post but that's what I thought too Georgiepud.

It made me feel a bit nostalgic about the EU 😳

As you can tell I wasn't for Brexit!

Yes, the grown ups in the room for a change......

MarshaBradyo · 31/03/2023 20:29

We’re getting on better with the EU now aren’t we?

I recall Ursula VdL calling Sunak dear and Macron and him being friends these days

Coxspurplepippin · 31/03/2023 20:31

Every little helps.........

Of course, compared to the previous 2 incumbents Rishi is practically a europhile.

MarshaBradyo · 31/03/2023 20:39

True

I’m for it

LadyVictoriaSponge · 31/03/2023 20:45

What planet are you on @PlanetLuna? Your user name is very fitting.

Aposterhasnoname · 31/03/2023 20:50

Pity about Camilla, but hopefully she can control herself. And desist from continuing to make the white supremacist hand gesture 🤌🏼 as she did upon arrival in Germany on Wednesday.

Have you been on the cooking sherry again?

Aye, but what a nasty, damaging thing to post. I'm surprised anyone in the public eye ever steps out the door if they face this kind of bollocks. It's not particularly funny tbh. In fact not funny at all.

The King needs broader shoulders, all those medals! They had to overlap and were still edging over the lapel and shoulder seams. Fortunately two are able to be worn on their own and one fits round his neck.

TroysMammy · 31/03/2023 21:47

I like seeing Charles and Camilla having the giggles. I bet he thought he was on the Generation Game instead of being in a German cheese factory.

Kanaloa · 31/03/2023 21:51

I mean I don’t think it’s that impressive. And as for the snotty ‘why don’t most brits do that’ it’s probably because we don’t all have the luxury of the best education money can buy and living in opulence for life while doing no real work. If I had that lifestyle I’d set aside a few days to brush up on my German too. Good for him if he enjoyed himself but I can’t bring myself to the level of slavish devotion where you pretend he’s better than ‘most brits’ when in fact he’s just much more privileged.
