I'm no great fan of O. Cromwell. He wasn't the right person to lead the country.

HAHAHA! I don't think either of them are that desperate.

Best, in fact only, laugh of the week.

It’s awesome!

Oops, residing in the US. My bad.

What if you are allergic to shrimp? Must you eat and die from anaphylaxis?

No, they are yellow gold with accents of blue. They are Halcyon Days Salamander Torque bracelet in Forget-me-not and Halcyon Days Hammered Torque bracelet in Forget-me-not. She has worn both before.

Shrimps! And I swear it’s a true story! The two shrimp limit was on the invitation!

On the invitation! I'm speechless.
Something tells me the drink would have been rationed too. How very cheerless.

Though I suppose if it was a war time themed party complete with ration books then it would have had the merit of authenticity.

@AliceOlive Maybe they should behave just gotten a Costco membership.

@Runnerinthenight I have to admit I have one just like this. I don't need to put it on my Christmas list! It's a torque bracelet.

My friend dined out in the story for years much like Harry accused John Travolta of doing.

How hilarious - spamming another Kate thread with inane chat about cheese, prawns and Harry/Meghan to try and shut down any discussion of Kate

What discussion has beeen shut down 🤔

So who would have been? All a bit of a lottery.

The King of Bling (love it) had gone on the run and collapsed with bleeding feet and was hidden by very ordinary people he came to love and respect (and protect when restored) helped out enormously during the Great Fire of London and made the monarchy viable again. He didn't claim to be divinely appointed and didn't divorce his Queen (under some pressure) when she couldn't give him children. Quite remarkable.

There is no divine right. We are equal. I would rather have a head of state from the remarkable panoply of British history, for good or ill, than an anodyne person who offends noone, if such a person can indeed be found. Cromwell wasn't it. It is a bit of a lottery but one well under the control of the people now.

As Charles II said "I have no wish to go on my travels again". William will be the first monarch directly descended from him (2 lines) and I think will comport himself in the same way. With less bling, possibly.

Lol

Thanks @MummyJ12. Never noticed them before. I like them but I'm more a silver or rose-gold fan.

You could say the same about the usual and predictable derailing from the republicans.

Lol? What an incredibly insightful comment 🙄. The thread is about the Princess going to the final at Wimbledon. What discussion do you feel that’s been shut down or there is to be had in relation to this?

Condolences on the total sense of humour failure.

Seems to be a theme today 🤷‍♀️

Hello, all. Please be aware that deliberately derailing threads breaks our Talk Guidelines and further action will be taken off the boards, should this continue to take place.

OK. I'll start.

It was really lovely to see Kate at the Mens Final today and I'm sure all of us were very glad to see her back in public.

Wow, I think we all including @Sethera were just having a bit of fun. Happy to post on topic if you have something to say!

Who reported the thread as being derailed? Was it someone actually on the thread? I had seen anyone object to the meander it took. At least no one who had been contributing 🤷‍♀️

It is truly baffling.

Not me!

Maybe @PrettyFlyforaMaiTai could request the thread be move to the Chat board where people are a little less … whatever?
