I am glad Kate is feeling much better,however

Watching the news about the horrendous rubbish problem in Birmingham,this was followed by Kates film clip rambling about Windermere saying we need to connect with nature and couldn’t help thinking it was inappropriate.I bet cancer sufferers in Birmingham would love to do this instead of holding down a job worrying about col doing chores that I bet she never does and have stinking rubbish with rats in the streets. I have no problem with her video but thought the timing was so off. They sometimes need to read the room.

You stated I didn’t like others debating me.

I stated that that it was other posters that had the problem with another poster sharing a different opinion. That includes yourself.

But you’ve said you don’t have a religious identity in the context of the Church of England (which is what we are talking about) so what have I done wrong?

I feel like you are trying to shut me down because you don’t like or agree with what I’m saying as you cannot defend what you are saying? It’s all part of healthy debate.

I never said it was a state duty.

I said it was an event which the RF want to share with the public, because it’s an important religious service and the use the press to do so.

We are debating. You are the one who is getting upset. I am enjoying a healthy debate 🙂 We can keep on debating if you like?

It’s all part of healthy debate.

This is not a healthy debate, just agree to disagree & move on.

Do you admit it’s not a state of duty? Thank you!

I believe it is 🙂 It’s good to express different opinions and points of view.

A healthy debate doesn’t include attaching religious identifies to people or other labels.

At no point, in any of my posts, did I say, it was a duty of state.

I said, there are duties, responsibilities and expectations on the Royals, the Easter service being one of them.

I haven’t though. As soon as you said you weren’t a devout Protestant, I said I don’t understand your point of view since you are not religious. You are the one who isn’t providing any nuance about your feelings considering you are not a devout Protestant or a Royalist.

But again, says who! There are many examples of Charles not attending Easter services of Trooping of the Colour. What say you about them?

You did attach that label. You then went on to indirectly imply, when I called you out for directly calling me a devout Protestant.

That if Charles didn’t attend, he should have attended. I don’t see why he shouldn’t have made the effort.

I asked why you were so bothered if you weren’t either a devout Protestant or a Royalist, as soon as you informed me that you were not. Maybe read back through my posts 😊

I believe it is 🙂 It’s good to express different opinions and points of view.

But you are just going back & forth over the same thing, nothing of value has been added.

It's boring for everyone

Did you write to the Head of the Church (The Queen) or the Archibishop of Canterbury at the time of these absences if it upsets you so much?

It takes two to tango 💃

Just reminding you of your first post on this, @AtIusvue . Not exactly measured, let alone respectful, and clearly showing no understanding that there is a difference between state duties and private family occasions. You didn't just give an opinion, you made an inflammatory one and an incorrect one. And you are surprised to have been addressed in equally inflammatory terms matching your own energy that you brought into the discussion.

The press/royal rota covering a private family event doesn't render it a duty, either a state duty or a moral duty. It's no more a duty than there is/was a duty for the RF to allow the press to take pictures on the first day of the school year or the first day of a ski holiday. They do what's necessary to stop the press hassling them beyond what is reasonable and tolerable.

You have repeatedly used the term devout Protestant, to state that these are the only people that would be concerned with William not attending. Hence, implying that I’m one of these people, seen as I’m making the argument that he should attend and off the back of directly calling me as one.

Now that is interesting. Thanks for bringing this back up 🥰

How so? How would not attending a public Easter service impact anyone who isn’t a devout Protestant or Royalist? Please explain?

Which poster was I unkind to? Or used inflammatory language about?

I used the same language that I use when I talk about Meg and Harry and no one has a problem with that. Well, apart from the Sussex superfans.

The irony of being called an obsessed royalist by one poster and called out for using inflammatory language when talking about Wills and Kate by another, seems particularly striking.

I have explained multiple times already, because you’ve asked that question multiple times.

I've just googled the RF and the Easter weekend and it seems from various sources that the Easter weekend is a PRIVATE weekend for the RF. I don't know what all the fuss has been about if this is the case.

I know youll recognise my username @PrettyFlyforaMaiTai, so I can I ask why such hostility?
