Cheese and royal gossip 2 , cheese harder

A second thread!

Everyone I've spoken to about it, have said, what is the problem and what a bloody fuss over nothing.

I bet you had an amazing time, Milkshake. It really is an extraordinary building and so steeped in history. It's years since I've been, I'm definitely going to go again soon.

Anyway, now the Sussexes have spoken via their favourite vehicle, People Magazine, I hope each and every one of their released pictures is analysed in the same way, and any agency displaying double standards named and shamed.

It is! Steam the florets with the peeled garlic. Mash with one of those hand held blenders, add a bit of cooking liquid to loosen up, add butter, salt and pepper and yum!

@Maireas it was magnificent. I’ve never been before, despite being London based for many years. As well as the main abbey, they have the QEII Diamond Jubilee exhibition too in the viewing gallery, which has all these funeral effigies of monarchs and nobility, which are just remarkable - I had no idea such things existed, and many have original clothing worn by their subjects. There’s a carved wooden bust of Henry VII which I thought was breathtaking. Everyone back then seemed to have been really short!

I think the best part was standing in the shrine of St Edward The Confessor surrounded by all the tombs of the ancient kings and queens, and where Charles went to get changed after the coronation. I can’t really describe the feeling standing there - goodness knows what Charles must have been feeling knowing he’s on the continuum of their legacy.

I hope you get to go soon. If you do, you’ll need to tell me what you think of the David Hockney window. I think it’s plain weird! It’s supposed to represent QEII’s legacy on the UK, but looks like a load of random blobs to me 🤣

Just saw this on Twitter (I know, I need to get off it).

Meghan is silly to Wade into this debacle.

Why did I venture back into the bear pit of insanity? I should just stay here and think nice calm cheesy thoughts, do Wotsits count?

Unfortunately, another historical deep fake relating to W&K’s wedding has been uncovered. This is bad.

I loved that video when it first came out! Feels like do long ago.

This also made me laugh.

😂😂😂

Oh please let there be a Ladybird book on being a princess!

Well hello! Room for one more?

Some great posts on here tonight 😊

Everything counts in large amounts.

That's so funny @MrsFinkelstein , had to laugh at the animal filters, didn't Harry supposedly 'spot' M on a friends insta with a puppy filter on her face.

Haha, re the ladybird book.

Well that looks delicious. Is it sold in the Friday Street farm shop? <taps nose>

together with the SS and their pathetic pipe dreams for the reign of the drug addled one and his wife

Oh is this the point of all the insanity on the other threads hollering about being lied to and all the rest of it? they're deluded if they think that will happen.

I love Westminster Abbey, @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar . Despite the crowds it's oddly quiet but for low voices and footsteps, and I love to sit in the nave and look up at the ceiling and picture those medieval workmen perched on rickety scaffolding and building to the glory of God a church that most of them wouldn't live long enough to see completed. Last time I was there a very odd thing happened - I was ambling around and saw in the floor near Poet's Corner a memorial - all the detail rubbed out bar the name - which was the same as DF who died when I was a teenager.

Jealous that you got into the shrine - it used to be fully open years ago. And the Diamond Jubilee galleries are amazing.

So many newly minted "Constitutional Experts" have suddenly appeared, all spouting the same utter tripe.

I can't brielieve it

Cheese and royal gossip 3 , cheese hard with a vengeance! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/theroyall_family/5027377-cheese-and-royal-gossip-3-cheese-hard-with-a-vengeance

We are filling up!!!

Same constitutional experts who despite at least three forty page threads and it being explained very slowly and carefully to them couldn't get that Queen Consort = Queen is king's wife = title of Queen = Queen Camilla and that queen consort isn't the same as Regnant? THOSE constitutional experts?

It is indeed astonishing. And royal relationship experts too.

I've always loved Marc Almond and Martin Kemp but slightly more after this.

Hello all 👋 , just a gentle reminder, discussing other threads and posters is against guidelines, we've been told this already!

In the news?

I am foraging for wild leeks today (first time I've ever gone foraging, unless you count the time I ate black nightshade as a kid, thinking it was blackcurrants). What cheese do you think would go with a wild leek pesto?

(I am constantly baffled by how people can construct a false narrative based on no evidence whatsoever and then get angry with the powers that be for trying to fool them re that false narrative.)
