The royal family

No it's troll hunting and against guidelines

@Daisiesandprimroses I was hounded out of using Purpledalmatian because I was accused of being in a royalist gang.😂

From everything that I have seen and read about Camilla, I think she married Charles in spite of the possibility of having to be Queen one day, not because of it.

Dear god yes. Being over 70 and having to perform for the public on a weekly basis, when all I'd want to do would be to walk my dogs, do the crossword and snooze in my armchair.

I think Inkanta has also implied that I'm purple/orange/rygo on another thread. I name change every 3 years (because of my feminist views), but once I've changed I never use my old name. It's a bit unfair to be called a sock puppet just because you agree with someone.

Inkanta · 21/04/2023 12:45

orangedalmatian · 21/04/2023 12:41

See the above explanation why I name changed x 1.

I've reported to MN that my name keeps flipping back and forth so much I don't know who I am, apart from I'm definitely not Rygo 😂

Okay thanks for answering - so you're not RYGO

Reading these threads is like reading the diary of an obsessed teenage girl:
“dear Diary today my friend’s friend told me that…” “Does he like me? Yes/no”

The second son in a rather important but dysfunctional family grew up, married, and moved away from home. Father remarried and new and old families have differing opinions. Thats it. The whole story in a nutshell.

Sorry about that. It's all a bit crazy making I find on these boards.

No you were NOT. I was on the thread. You were doing laughing and smiley faces and said you were happy to change.

You were not hounded. Or bullied. Or stalked.

I don't think we are allowed to C&P but it is out there. It was all quite amicable.

Whaeanui · 21/04/2023 13:02

Just yesterday Roussette was asked if she was also me so not sure why it’s such a drama now, especially since some already know orange is also purple… and sometimes on the same thread too.

Roussette · 21/04/2023 13:05

Well... I hope MNHQ are sorting out purple's glitch because it's backwards and forwards on the same thread, sometimes going orange an hour after being purple.

It's disconcerting, especially as a poster a month or so ago before MN supposedly tightened up on this, accidentally posted with a different name within a thread, she owned up to it and the anti H&M posters wiped the floor with her.

Nonsense
Who is this shrinking violet forced into the spotlight unwillingly?

If true - there was no need for her to accept 'princess'
No need for her to accept 'queen'
No need for her to be crowned
No need for her to be anointed

It's PR
It hasn't worked and it won't work
People arent stupid

Well , most people aren't

diflasu · 21/04/2023 13:21

But he revealed that it wasn't 'weird' to think of his mother as the Queen, saying: 'She's still my mother... I think change happens, but I don't care what anyone says.
'This wasn't any sort of end game, she married the person she loved, and this is what happened.'

He's hardly a disinterested observer - it's his Mum - but actually I don't disagree being Queen at her age means lot of opening shit and dealing with and trailing after an often grumpy husband so yes I think it was love and despite his position not because of it.

I still think Diana, Charles and Camilla all behaved badly but I was in UK in 90s when there was a full on press war and so much mud to go around.

Harry's bodies in the street comments felt like overdramatic tosh that diminished his point but I wouldn't put it past press office/officials and hangers on to be fighting their person's corner - same way with celeb it's often not them but the people round them who are ones demanding and being difficult and it's very unclear how much the celeb is actually aware of it all.

I may be wrong but I also read the article and came away with the impression while he love his Mum and seems to have respect for the King and his family are involved in the coronation he isn't actually 100% sold on the monarchy.

Yes it needs sorting by MNHQ - have had a word with them. Don't think it's acceptable to just continue like this - back and forth from one username to another and its unfair that the another poster got mobbed for it.

That is what he said. And why should I answer to a reply. Thread is simple to understand.

Show quote history

Because it's a thread. Not dropping some tripe you come across and then not participate with the people kind enough to leave a reply. It's rude.

Maybe you don't know how forums work or something.

She's never had a proper job, a bit like Katie Waity unless you count bagging future kings as one.

Does hanging about MN constantly count as a real job?

Inkanta · 21/04/2023 13:50

Well I thought that that might happen -that I'd get deleted for asking the question but at least I know now.

I'm retired and worked hard for 40 years at various jobs for a wage and paid my taxes and earned my right to comment freely on an internet forum and Camilla's job was what exactly as Wikipedia comes up with nothing.

SiobhanSharpe · 21/04/2023 14:03

I'm definitely not a fan but it seems to me the only woman who married into the RF in recent times and who had a proper job is.... Meghan.
She made a reasonable fist of being an actress and had some success, which can't have been easy especially when she started her career.
But as for Team William/Team Harry -- I keep well out of it.

Sophie had an established career in PR and had set up her own agency before she married Prince Edward.

That’s Waity Katey actually - if you’re going to use anti-feminist nicknames at least get them right. 🙄

Shall we hound you out of this one for being a British Unionist and Ulster Loyalist? FFS people are nuts.

This reply has been withdrawn

This has been withdrawn by MNHQ at the poster's request.

Novella4 · 21/04/2023 14:40

@Inkanta
Yes these boards are crazy making but for a breath of sanity look at any royal topic when it comes up on aibu

Vast majority of posters stating no interest in the con a nation
That is a much better indication of the feelings of the population - and it matches the lack of interest clearly demonstrated in organised street parties and the poll that showed that the majority want Charles to pay for all the nonsense himself

It's just as we know it to be in real life

Not a random thread. He is reacting to what was said. He is entitled to. And why do you want me to react. You can react to this story, that's enough.
