Queens Funeral

[Swissclaret]

Come on gents he stopped him doing because it was the better of two evils , there would have been a public outcry if Harry had been allowed, even now the slander and rubbish his wife makes up is waiting to go to
Press and be aired to the public( the next episode that is ) , I’ve read Megan is trying desperately to retract some
of her comments in the view of the Queens sad passing.

If Harry really cared about the Royal family and his position he wouldn’t let her do/ say these things she has and is doing - So I think
It was easier for Charles to say to him , things are bad enough we don’t need any more un rest from the press or public.

I agree army. I think King Charles read the room well.

The feeling that I have is that the majority of people believe that Randy Andy is guilty. In addition, a vast number of people have seen Harry and Sparkle for what they are. Monet grabbing low lifes.

If the reports are true, all of this caused the Queen great distress at a time when she didn’t need it - burying her husband of many, many years - if she ever needed such situations in her family.

It would have been a slap in the face of the Queen and, I think, angered many people if he had accorded status to them that the Queen herself had stripped them of.

I do not think his actions/ decisions were out of malice, but out of respect to the Queen’s wishes.

Can't argue against any of that well reasoned post.

You live in a country who have a collection of semi-autonomous cantons. As membership of the confederation has fluctuated throughout history, each of these cantons has its own unique history and nobility. Typically, each canton had its own constitution, currency, jurisdiction, habits, customs, history, and nobility.

Here we have a set of inbred retards put where they are by birth right. Harry never got over the death of his mother and Andrew who was never going to become King turned himself into a serial shagger. Best not to judge from faraway eh Swissclaret?

My comment was a dispassionate and disinterested view of a very difficult situation and the actions taken.

I express no opinion on the worth or otherwise of the monarchy. Having studied Constitutional Law as part of my degree, I understand how the system works. Whether or not it should replaced is another matter.

The Swiss system works very well for its people. It is far more based on consensus and plebiscites. People are not as dogmatic in their political views and are more interested in what is best for the country. There is no such thing as a “red wall” or “blue wall” constituency in Switzerland.

I am not sure that the system works well for Britain and its many problems.

Let's simplify the whole issue of uniform or not. Charles stuck with the Royal protocol, as followed by his mother, in that non-working Royals are not allowed to wear uniforms and have had to relinquish their honorary military titles.
Had Charles gone against this ruling it would have opened the door for the media to go OTT as they always do and many of the public would have followed suit. Harry has chosen to move abroad and has ceased to be a working Royal, whilst Andrew, who has not been found guilty of any offence and is able to wander around freely, was withdrawn from his role as a working Royal by his mother, probably as much to save him from further harrassment rather than any other reason.

I served 23 years and had to hand in all my 6 uniforms when I left and nothing has changed, although I do know a few who managed to keep items and others who have since bought second-hand uniforms on various sites.

Let's face it, there is only one family in the whole of the United Kingdom that is constantly under scrutiny and Charles has played to the rules but is now accused of vindictiveness, even though he did allow both Harry and Andrew to don their uniforms when they kept vigil in Westminster Hall.

I am not sure that Charles did stick to what was laid down by the Queen. When the Duke of Edinburgh died there was the same debate over who could wear military uniforms. It was the Queen that decreed that no one would wear a military uniform so as not to divide the family. So I think this was down to Charles, the rule as I understand it is the honour to wear the uniform is for members of the royal household, there is no wording to say it only applies to working royals.

I will admit that since Charles treatment of the former Princess of Wales, which I thought was exceptionally poor I have had no time whatsoever for the man, so I may give a biased view, but it what I believe.

I would totally ignore that comment Swiss, you have as much right to voice your opinion on here as anyone else, regardless of where you might live. What we are seeing is a typical Lefty reaction, an attempt to shut up anyone they don't agree with. I realise you are far too polite, I'm not, if it were me I'd tell him to feck off.

Pity we don't have the Swiss system here sinkov. "It is far more based on consensus and plebiscites. People are not as dogmatic in their political views and are more interested in what is best for the country. There is no such thing as a “red wall” or “blue wall” constituency in Switzerland."

You stick to living the high life in your "blue wall" rural bliss mon ami and leave the proletariat to somehow try and get rid of this Tory shower of $hit because Starmer won't.

Working Royals are given honorary titles allowing them to wear military uniforms. In the UK, retired military veterans are not allowed to wear a uniform unless they have been granted an honorary title and have been permitted to wear one.
Harry's honorary military appointments were taken of him when he decided to skip off to the USA. Andrew's were stripped in January and these were then re-distributed at the Queen's behest to other working members of the Royal family.

Personally, I have no feelings either way about Charles or Diana, having met them both several times, the ony thing that I will say is that there will always be 'us and them' and never, ever think that this will change, even if the Repulicans get their way, there will be plenty of 'haves' who will continue the process ad nauseam.

You sound like you've eaten a bad pie mon ami, but it hasn't been a good week has it ? In the local derby, the Royalists stuffed the Republicans 10-0, and Starmer has just smacked a 35 yard screamer into the back of the Hard Left net. Never mind, what it is they like to sing at Labour Party conferences, 'Things can only get better' ?

While I have no time for Charles, I would hate to see our country become a republic. My forlorn hope was that Queen Elizabeth may have out lived her eldest son with William becoming the King, but that was not to be.
.
I like the idea of having someone as head of state who is supposed to be non-political a job the Queen did admirably.

If we were unfortunate to become a republic. I could not imagine anything worse than President Rees-Mogg or President Corbyn.
