The Queen probably wasn’t in the coffin that everybody queued past.

Indeed, she probably died years before the media told us she did, and it was Dame Helen Mirren who had tea with Paddington. Funny how she lived just long enough for Platty Joobs. Ditto the Queen Mother living just long enough to reach a hundred.

The funniest thing about when her belly popped out at the dog rescue was how the people standing around clearly registered the pop and tried their best to keep a straight face.

(That's some nauseating image you've conjured up...the juxtaposition of 'belly' (my least favourite word) and 'pop'. Ugh!)

My unpopular views are: I really like and admire Camilla. I think the people who are being vile about her now are very nasty indeed.

I don't think Diana was beautiful (she was very attractive, very stylish in her day and lots of other great things, but I don't think quite beautiful).

(Btw, I've met Princess Anne and she isn't haughty in the snobbish sense - she's brisk and not 'touchy-feely-huggy' (thank Christ) but a really down-to-earth and genuine person).

Christ0nABike · 24/07/2024 18:36

Diana wouldn’t be so fawned over now if she wasn’t dead.

I think Camilla is doing a great job as Queen and I think she’s more suited to the role and to Charles than Diana would have been.

This. She is the love of Charles life, and Diana was a mistake, and just to make the 'establishment' happy.

CoffeeCantata · 24/07/2024 18:37

I don't think Diana's on the island any more, if indeed she ever was. I think that was a ruse to deflect/distract the public's attention away from her real resting place which is the Spener vault in Althorp Church. Of course they'd bury her there, if not immediately, then they'd have moved her eventually. The church and vault are very securely locked.

An arranged marriage, basically.

CoffeeCantata · 24/07/2024 18:39

Also, while I'm at it: Diana had absolutely AWFUL taste in men! She seemed to fall for cads and in the end, a real sleaze-ball. Dodi, the creepy and very dodgy playboy. I just cannot fathom what the attraction was, but it killed her.

ginasevern · 24/07/2024 18:41

Firstly that they didn't exist (as stated above) but if we were to have a Royal Family it should be the house of Stuart and not some German concoction. Anyone want to join me in a Jacobean revolt?

Anonym00se · 24/07/2024 18:42

That if any person in the country (other than the monarch) genuinely believed that God had personally chosen them to rule the nation and ordained them under the divine right of kings, they’d be sectioned and locked up on a psychiatric unit quicker than you could say “deluded bootlickers”.

But she was only 19 and a certified virgin when she married Charles.

She probably didn't have many options as to men that she could go for. A couple of her alleged lovers were probably ok - the surgeon and the bodyguard.

I feel really sorry for her although agree she wasn't the saint she's since been portrayed as.

Seriestwo · 24/07/2024 18:44

Kate’s kids are dressed like Edwardians and there’s no need for it at all.

Totallywoah · 24/07/2024 18:46

That Charles is more bothered that Harry had children with a woman that isn't white than he is by the fact his brother is a pedophile.

Sethera · 24/07/2024 18:47

They should all be sent to live on a really rough council estate, a la Sue Townsend's 'The Queen and I'.😃

Bazinga007 · 24/07/2024 18:48

They should all be put in the tower and then got rid of like the French did to theirs on PPV.

When we were watching the final of the Euros and Prince George was there with William, our 13 year old Ukrainian guest asked me “Why the hell is that little kid dressed like the Head of Geography??” 😂

UpendedPineapple · 24/07/2024 18:51

That Diana would have hated the attention on Kate.

scalt · 24/07/2024 18:51

Prince Philip knew something when he said “if I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to do something about overpopulation”. The royals and the politicians talk about this when they think nobody is listening.

I felt like an England shirt and a small crown would have been more apt.

Topseyt123 · 24/07/2024 18:52

I like Harry and I also think that Camilla is a great Queen. Better than Diana would have been.

MammaTo · 24/07/2024 18:53

If Diana and Camilla swapped appearances ie Camilla was more conventionally attractive then Diana, then no one would of been bothered about Charles’s affairs.

FeckOffNowLads · 24/07/2024 18:57

George Is chronically anxious looking and i think it’s cruel that his life has been decided for him already. I hoe he has the life he actually wants, and whatever that will be.

Kate and wills separated which is why they moved to that cottage. They moved to be nearer her parents. I’ve always believed this.

LimeShaker · 24/07/2024 18:59

Really never got the fuss about the Queen - a lot of ‘she knows when not to speak’ ‘never complain, never explain’ etc - very Emperor’s new clothes!overall think they uphold the class system in Britain and this prevents more progressive thinking taking root. As individuals though…meh…couldn’t get worked up - can’t imagine it is a great life though

user556453 · 24/07/2024 19:00

That if I was Kate's sister or mother or friend I would have worried she was too thin long before her illness.

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 24/07/2024 19:00

Since this is supposed to be unpopular opinions, I'll stick my neck out. I bloody love the Royal family. They can do no wrong in my eyes (apart from Randy Andy obviously - there's one in every family!)
