Oh I have zero problems with Republicans. We are all entitled to our opinion @ItsNotAShopItsAStore and it’s all part of being fortunate enough to live in a democracy.
But there are certain anti-monarchists who have different agendas and I just don’t get it.

This is a play on words referring to at previous Queen Consort (with an interesting life!) called Catherine

When did they contribute towards conspiracy theories??

The stalking of her was awful. But it was also 20 years ago and new people will be at the helm. It wasn’t just the DM either

Yes, I was aware of that. They added constant fuel to the whole where is she saga. I didn’t say it was just the DM.

He is very cute and I think he's going to grow up to be a handsome young man. Catherine definitely improved the genes in that family.

Why would you bring the Duchess of Sussex into such a nice thread? She doesn’t care about any of them.

...says the one who feels the need to put down Meghan on this supposedly nice thread.

Crystallizedring · 15/06/2024 18:09

She did look stunning but I hope she didn't get "forced" to attend. She's obviously been really sick and this must have taken its toll on her.
King Charles did look tired, I think, although he looked better than the last time I saw him o TV.
As for George he might be bored or tired but he's probably watching his ill mother and grandfather appearing to the public and things like that must make him realise the huge responsibility he'll have one day.

Does not out of the woods mean the cancer hasn't gone, she's not had the all clear or she could still die?

I know no one knows but I was just wondering.

I had biopsy results this week and mine were ambiguous so looking for clarity really.

@BirthdayRainbow - it really means exactly what she said. She's clearly not yet had the all clear, but that's all you can say from what she said. Cancer diagnosis and treatment is a long-drawn out affair sadly for those diagnosed with it and different cancers and different people's long term prognosis varies hugely.

I am so sorry that you are waiting for a biopsy result - but if the news is bad, your journey won't be the same as anyone else's. I hope though, that it is good news for you

Unfortunately for the movement, it seems to have been taken over by those who just engage in performative protests, rather than legitimate activism to raise support for a Republic
Aka RentaGob.

BirthdayRainbow · 15/06/2024 18:24

Thank you @Silvers11 . I think I'm okay right now but still confused by the results. I'll ask next week.

whynotwhatknot · 15/06/2024 19:10

just as i guessed silly trolls on twitter saying its not her why hhas she still got hair the usual

i woul hate to be her

Laiste · 15/06/2024 19:12

Charles looked ill because he is ill. He looked glad to be there though.

Catherine looked lovely. Fragile though. Understandable. She has a wonderful smile and it lights her up. So good to see her again.

Camilla looks like she always does. Like she's doing it because she has to. (sorry)

Love seeing the kids, bless 'em. What a strange thing for them all those crowds waving at them.

headstone · 15/06/2024 19:15

Love Kate’s outfit and the kids sailor suits, very cute She does look well and hopefully this will continue.

My opinion about the trolls is that you could add their IQs together and you still probably wouldn't be into three figures.

JamieFraserSporran · 15/06/2024 19:20

ItsNotAShopItsAStore · 15/06/2024 16:03

George looks tired and bored tbh.

TBh I think there’s a Windsor resting bored face. The Queen had it. Charles has it. Harry has it. George may have inherited it. My DD had inherited her dad’s and is always being asked if she’s ok

Charlotte is a belter at the non committal face too 😂❤️

The late Duchess of Gloucester had what I once saw politely referred to as 'not a smiley face.'

We have RBF in our family, as well. Someone once described me to a colleague as 'scary' because of it and was told that I was lovely really. Not really lovely, but lovely really.😉

Isn't there a bad family history of osteoporosis too? I think some people underestimate the rigours of riding in a parade like that and being expected to start doing so at her age would be ridiculous.

Lovely to see Kate and her statement yesterday was spot on.

Yes. I think Queen Camilla's mother had painful osteoporosis.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 15/06/2024 19:44

Felt for them all in the rain. Hope KC and PoW are resting up now and had thermals on underneath their outfits.

Bababa2456 · 15/06/2024 19:45

Charles looked ill because he is ill. He looked glad to be there though.

But it's often the treatment for cancer that makes people look ill.
They very often feel absolutely fine, especially if the cancer is Stage 1 , found early and not causing symptoms.

It's the treatment like immunotherapy or other drugs that makes people feel and look ill, not their cancer.

Drumming and riding a horse, steering with their feet, amazing

Fabulous, isn't it?

I don’t really care about the soldiers. I only half watch it to see the RF members.

Well, one of these times, take a few moments to look at what 'the soldiers' do. The choreography is great, just as it is if you watch 25 dancers on a stage.
Has anyone in your family ever been in one of the services and had to learn to march and present arms and stand easy? Did you see the programme on TV last year, about the making of uniforms? It was interesting.

GelatoPistacchio · 15/06/2024 19:56

I'm glad she is feeling well enough to attend an important day for their family and hope she is on the mend. But I feel a bit uncomfortable with the obsession with her looking beautiful and glam, even when she is seriously ill.

I don't mean this as a criticism of her but more the royal PR machine that insists on this unrelatable sheen of perfection. She is naturally beautiful but the blowout and full make up look after giving birth, while going through cancer, it must be bloody exhausting to maintain.

Why is selling us on her impossible physical perfection so important to the royal press team? I guess it's too late now but if they had tried marketing her as a relatable, natural beauty in the first place there would be less pressure on her maintaining her 'look' now.

Well yes, but maybe it’s her decision to look how she does. Maybe she wants to look polished and her best possible self. We have seen her look quite natural at times, but then she “scrubs up well” for more formal occasions. I’m sure we all try and do the same

Am o the only one who thought KCIII didn’t look very well?

Maybe he has a cold. Maybe he was moved, almost to tears. Maybe he had the wind in his face. It was quite breezy there. I didn't exactly think he looked ill, but pink and emotional.
