Hello 👋, I thought it might be nice to have a thread we can discuss our cheesy feelings, food delights and general discourse about the royal family.

The parody diary - actually seemed too rooted in reality 😂

And the choice of song, and the new lyrics - gee I wonder what point is he trying to make 😂

jeffgoldblum · 20/02/2024 14:38

Just testing talking to post as I'm tired everything is rubbish and I thought I'd give it a whirl and see if it worked 🤣🤣🧀

How’s your thumb? X

That Vanity Fair article sounds like a Sussex PR piece. My favourite part is the dismissing of Catherine's hurt. It's a classic Sussex move - try and diminish everyone else's experience while exagerating their own. It makes me feel quite queasy.

Edited

Yes! And such cruel timing. “I’m ready to move on now!”

VF has been in their corner, I think. I used to be a subscriber but got sick of Graydon Carter politicizing the jones out of absolutely everything even before that was a thing and dropped my subscription. I read occasionally but never purchase anymore. It’s a shame. It used to be glorious.

‘Who knew, dreams can come true, when life tells you, you’re far from finished/ Nothing tames, Invictus Games, you play them your way,”
“One man, life-changing plan, he does all he can, he’s a visionary/ Our healing wishes for your dad/ You’ve earned each day, the right to say, I did it my way,” Bublé, 48, crooned.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 dear god

A visionary - only after taking certain substances. Then it might be a vision of a bin talking to him.

Maireas · 20/02/2024 15:03

Yes, I bet she's desperate to reconcile. No-one else gets her a front row seat at Wimbledon.
Oh, and is married to a billionaire landowner who is the heir to the throne 🙄

AutumnCrow · 20/02/2024 15:13

I think I prefer the lyrics to 'I'm a Lumberjack' At least it talks of a 'dear papa' and not 'yer dad'. How frightfully infra dig of Bublé.

AliceOlive · 20/02/2024 15:16

I listened to some of the song. Don't do it, ya'll. Spare yerselves.

Was Harry singing this at the after party unironically?

😂that's what he sings every morning when the maid brings out his breakfast.

And now, the Endgame is done,
We spilled the tea,
To Omid Scobie.
The royals are on the run,
Their only fans?
Racists and fogeys.

And yet, we miss the pomp,
We miss the crowds,
We miss the freebies.
So please,
Let us back in,
We're sick of our way.

We tried, on Spotify,
Told porky pies,,
To Penguin Random.
NetFlix,
And car park pics,
We looked like dicks,
And lost our fandom.

We yearn,
For uniform,
For duties royal,
Without a pay day.
We'll cut,
Ribbons in Hull,
We're sick of our way.

[Crescendo]

For Willie is bald, what has he got?
(Ok a box, at Royal Ascot.)
And Kate's no good at speaking gigs,
Of self promotion like The Tig,
Or crying tears from left eyelid,
They can't do our way.

[Piano]

Sixteen,
Bathrooms to clean,
Is far too much,
In this our mansion.
The staff,
Leave in a huff,
So many aides,
Too much to mention.

Court staff,
Well how we'd laugh,
They worked so hard
But did we pay them?
Not us,
The public purse,
We miss free lackeys.

[Crescendo]

A-v -iation,
Legends are we,
Ripples of Hope,
Don't come for free.
We'll take the gigs,
The Wales' can't do.
Who needs a job,
It's us, that's who.
Archewell and Sussex,
Is just poo.
We're sick of ouuuuuur waaaaaay.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 dear god

Am I safe to assume that the first two lines are about the veterans - far from finished in spite of injuries?

I don't really understand the 'nothing tames' bit.

And then presumably Haz is a visionary. Right, well I'm off to eat a piece of cheese and cut down some branches.

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar Are you a published, if that's the right word, song writer? Congratulations. We can singalong that one.

Turtlerussell · 20/02/2024 16:04

We have a crest, a song, and the inclination - maybe we could represent the crown too? That’s all that’s required, right? 😆

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 20/02/2024 16:17

@upinaballoon No I'm not, but I have always made up silly rhymes and songs for the kids, and used to sing a bit of opera, which is full of bonkers lyrics. I'm generally inspired by nonsense 😀

I suggest this: a trip to Australia to discuss problems with the indigenous people there, then a bit of a jolly round the Pacific, pausing only to be a voice for the unheard people and allowing them to share joy through the prism of our glory. Right?

wildernesssw · 20/02/2024 16:37

I'm in. I am fully committed to the environment and would be willing to demonstrate it with long haul flights (or private jets) paid for by other people!

Maireas · 20/02/2024 16:39

Oh, yes! We're eco warriors, but we're definitely going to travel by private jet!
We'll need a large designer wardrobe, hairdressers and makeup artists as well.

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 20/02/2024 16:42

If I'm coming:

  1. None of you is to look me in the eye.
  2. I want bowls of orange smarties in every room;
  3. It's ma'am, and a curtsy won't go amiss if you want to stay on my good side.
wildernesssw · 20/02/2024 17:10

Just as long as I have longest on the red carpet...
