When will pointless King abdicate

in favour of another bastion of the Monarchy? Loathe them all but assume it will take another generation to allow them to bow out in some sort of graceful manner - and hang onto loads of Titles, Land, Jewels, money etc. How has someone given the title of 'Queen Consort' i.e ex Mistress is now referred to as Queen and bestowed privileges e.g being allowed to allocate Royal Warrants? Don't know how she's got the gall to wear jewellery that previously adorned previous incumbent let alone the late Queen. Luckily, she does bugger all but retire to the home settled in the Divorce, smoke fags, drink Gin and Dubonnet (smells just like Granny!) and ensures stock of fully functioning Mont Blanc Fountain Pens are to hand - ready to be despatched to King at the faintest sign of a tremulous lip.

I think (and I’m not one for Royalty but do respect that it’s a huge part of UK life) that it’s awful she is known as Queen but I do feel glad Charles finally got to marry someone he loves and everyone deserves that.

but how you could sit and be called Queen of England 😂😂😂😂 well that’s a mockery !!

But affairs and all of that was part and parcel of their indulgent lifestyle wasn’t it

ThejoyofNC · 14/01/2025 07:26

Oh yes because normal people are never unfaithful. They shouldn't have forced him to marry Diana to begin with.

MarieAntoinetteQueenOfFrance · 14/01/2025 07:28

I once played beeing a serf, it's a most unagreeable existence.

Catandsquirrel · 14/01/2025 07:29

Ok you're trying to be funny but the thread title is pretty awful when someone has been trying to work through cancer treatment at his age. Not a monarchist.

And I'd say most kings have had mistresses. It's nothing unusual.

DaDaDoDaiDa · 14/01/2025 07:30

You're contradicting yourself - you say 'loathe them all' but then you talk about Camilla having the 'gall' to wear the late Queen Elizabeth's jewellery - if you are anti-monarchy, which is a reasonable position, I'm afraid it has to include all of them, not just those you don't like.

Incidentally, I understand Camilla gave up smoking many years ago, before she married Charles.

Yes, let's get rid of the monarchy but let's not make that process an attack on individuals. I don't have a problem with pointing out factual information such as x member of the RF not doing many engagements, or y member having been the subject of well-publicised scandals, but "Camilla is nasty and smelly" is a childish approach that will not help the republican cause in the slightest.

JanuaryCrow · 14/01/2025 07:31

The Queen smells? Righty oh, that's mature. Don't be late for skool.

BarbaraHoward · 14/01/2025 07:31

😂 Come back to us when you understand what a queen consort is. 😂

RolliPilliolee · 14/01/2025 07:33

You've smelled her?

Thornybush · 14/01/2025 07:35

I loathe them all too. And none of them are anyway good looking 🤣 Well apart from H& W's wives. You imagine Kings/Queens/Princes/Princesses as beautiful and handsome
That the Royals are not, particularly Charles.

Do you always judge people based on their looks?

AmusedMaker · 14/01/2025 07:40

Who has this much energy at 7.15 in the morning to get so worked up?

getthosetitsup · 14/01/2025 07:44

Please stop sniffing people, monarchy or otherwise. It's largely frowned upon.

balletflats · 14/01/2025 07:45

Even the robot mumsnet contribution to the thread made me laugh this morning.

Interested in topics like this?

So that's you told, OP 😁

Quite. Philip’s title (among others) was the Queen’s Consort.

You ok, OP? You seem cross.

Charles won’t abdicate. I can’t stand any of them, but I have a soft spot for Camilla.

When will pointless people stop thinking their pointless opinion is worth sharing in public?
Read about this country's last flirtation with no monarch. The inter-regnum wasn't the panacea you think a life without a monarchy can be.
You won't be any better off.

I've noticed a lot of anti monarchy posts on mn recently. I know a lot of people aren't supporters of the monarchy, but the sheer number and frequency makes me think this is a concerted campaign of destabilisation from a foreign power.

This. I agree. I think malign forces are keen to stir things up.

TheYeaSayer · 14/01/2025 08:10

I met Camilla very briefly when she and Charles were on a visit here.

She smelt nice.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Wasn’t it something like that behind ‘the where’s Kate’ stuff last year?
