It's tax time and Charity Watch is revising charity ratings. Archewell Foundation is now old enough to have a rating:

President?

Not only jumped the shark, you swam with it, wrestled it, invited it to home to meet your Nan and named your first baby after it.

Any self confessed Cromwell supporting republican who spouts such drivel as " my king Harry" has lost all credibility in my opinion!
It's like a turkey supporting paxo over homemade stuffing!

Well that makes me and the Guardian then. The salient point was it thought that these inheritances were used for charitable purposes but in reality only a small fraction was. The rest going to do up his properties to rent out. If that isn't disingenuous grifting I don't know what is and what Archwell is being accused of with no real gotcha evidence as yet that I can se.

This was gone over in detail already and died off. It’s a nothing burger.

Were you on that thread? It’s still open if you want me to bump it for you so as not to derail.

Someone wrote “My King Harry”? Oh, modern indeed!! As modern as touring Nigeria and inspecting the troops.

I have so many questions , None of them are regarding taxes or charities .
I know surf instructor , but who is the bodyguard ?

jeffgoldblum · 15/05/2024 13:02

Kevin Costner @queenofarles !

BemusedAmerican · 15/05/2024 13:19

No, Kevin Costner is not reputed to be a fan. Totally the opposite.

Sorry @BemusedAmerican , it was a joke as he starred in the bodyguard. 🤣

The difference is I'm charitably giving them the benefit of the doubt whereas I get the impression that you have already made your mind up and Harry's lese majeste will never be forgotten or forgiven. Interestingly Boris' ex-mistress seems now willing to forgive. It is a foundation of Christ's teachings after all. But not interestingly about adultery.

“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 1 Corinthians 6:18 ESV / 2,619 ...

That is not 1 Corinthians 6:18

1 Corinthians 6:18
English Standard Version
18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[a] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

No mention of being put to death. Jesus of course stopped a crowd stoning a woman found in adultery saying “he who is without sin cast the first stone”

Thanks for the fact check I put in something like what did Jesus say about adultery and I seemed to get that. I probably said Bible so that would explain it.

Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George! Harry is a great English name whereas William was imported into Royal venacular from the dastardly 'racist' Dutch and King Billy is a hero to the Orangemen of Northern Ireland.

I am confused why some posters are saying this post is "mean girl "tactics - I have recently joined and all I see here are posts with "mean girl" tactics. I mean the number of posts about the Princess of Wales is just outlandish . The things said are outlandish. Then there was a thread about the Duchess of Sussex's new website and that has been deleted as someone didn't like the content of that. It does seem to be a tit for tat. This is the internet folks and anyone can be anyone they claim to be. I can claim to have a Scottish Great Grandmother but Canadian born, to be part First Nation and part Kenyan, to be an expert in photoshopping and product design ( actually that is my nephew who works in the artificial limb area), to be a stylist to the stars ( currently Bianca Censori) to be a relationship hypnotherapist to the stars and to specialise in abdominal issues (I'm very gassy). Always sleep with one eye open!

I know this was a couple of months ago, but stylist to the stars ( currently Bianca Censori) really made me laugh! Nice work 😆

I don’t agree with mocking people’s names. YMMV.

I'm William the Conqueror, my enemies stood no chance. they call me the first English king. Although I come from France. 1066 the Domesday book I gave to history.

Fact checked by Horrible Histories. Must burn.

Good for you. I don't agree with everybody either and that's good for me. That said I think the Royal Family have broad shoulders well they have to have we live in a free country made free by the struggles of the masses not given to us from high by our own rulers.

The British Royal Family's public stance on the Suffragette movement was complex and varied depending on the individual and the specific time period.

General Attitude:

Overall, the Royal Family maintained a cautious and somewhat conservative approach to the Suffragettes. They were concerned about the potential disruption to social order and the monarchy's position. Publicly, they rarely expressed explicit support or opposition.

Specific Figures:

Queen Victoria: She was firmly against women's suffrage and considered it a threat to the traditional roles of women.
King Edward VII: He was more open to considering women's suffrage but did not actively advocate for it.
King George V: He initially opposed women's suffrage but later softened his stance, recognizing the contributions of women during World War I.
Queen Mary: While not a vocal supporter, she reportedly had private sympathies for the Suffragettes and even met with some of their leaders.
Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll: She was the most outspoken supporter of women's suffrage within the Royal Family, attending rallies and signing petitions.

Sorry I'm not seeing the relevance of the past royal family's opinion of the suffragette movement to this thread at all !

Ratsoffasinkingsauage · 15/05/2024 16:02

I think someone likes Google. This is a scatter gun attack to distract us from the real issue, quite a desperate one.

So back to the point. Who did they get to ring Newsome? I’m sticking to Oprah. I’ve always thought they were paid for that interview.

TheTallestSally · 15/05/2024 16:04

I quite agree @Ratsoffasinkingsauage

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 15/05/2024 16:21

I think it’s really not on to keep posting AI generated, nonsensical non sequiturs. It’s not in the spirit and derailing.

Garlicked · 15/05/2024 16:25

Also nowhere near the point of this thread, I wish Queen Vic had been right about suffrage threatening the traditional roles of women! The sly patriarchy pulled a sneaky trick there, ensuring that votes and equal pay wouldn't spare women the responsibilities of home and children 😒
