What’s your take about the Will vs Harry feud? I suspect they have fussed over the years, but Harry has always known that Will was ahead of him priority wise in the family, not in everyone’s hearts, but yes in the family. Surely, he accepts his place after all these years. He could always walk away and take his great grandma $ and Diana $ and live his life outside of the palace walls.

From what I know personally William does not suffer fools. He’s sharp tongued and has little time for gossip and that’s just in public. I get the impression that he’s very aware of his public image and although he’s not always happy about being under scrutiny he does take his reputation and image seriously. He’s polite, respectful and keen to be seen as not rocking the boat. He doesn’t appear quite so passionate at first but he is truly earnest about his endeavours. He’s very frank and like his fathers Charles has a disarming gaze when he addresses you. Charles is incredibly charming in person btw. He twinkles (just thought I’d throw that in 😂)

He’s been known to pull Harry into line several times. But I don’t know of anything that’s caused a major rift before. Harry is very cocksure. He’s outspoken and brash. He’s always been left to do his own thing and he’s been pulled out of scrapes. With the arrival of her he’s become even more of a peacock. Comments such as ‘this one’ when referring to her as though they’ve been close for ever are indicative of his desire to be seen as grown up as William. But Harry is only famous and in the limelight because Kate and William have very generously allowed him to be.  I don’t ever recall Charles and Anne or Charles and Edward running campaigns together, attending events together like they have. He’s never fully accepted his place because William has been too kind to put him in it. Unlike now, where Harry and that woman threaten the well oiled and carefully constructed image that he and Kate have taken years to build. I should think that William takes a very dim view of that. Harry is a hot head. And despite being very fond of each other Williams family, mostly his wife will come first. I shouldn’t think we will get any emotional statements or nonsense from either him or Kate. They will go on being as staunch and stoic as ever. I should think it will be painful for William. He can only hope that Harry returns at some point. But William is duty first and I don’t see him capitulating to tantrums anytime soon.

Charles must be soooo thrilled….

“Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla’s tour in Africa has honestly been so great. I’ve been loosely following g along on Instagram and seeing all of the pictures of Camilla or Charles smiling and laughing (and even dancing!!) warms my heart. I feel like everyone just wants to portray them as really bad/mean people when they are definitely not!“ – Submitted by Anonymous

It is seriously pissing me off that Charles forced the cambs to invite harkles to anmar last Christmas, why couldn’t he invite them to his house? Why pressurize the cambs? And now they have to cancel their plans with the Middleton christmas? Why do cambs always have to be the one to bend down and save bloody harry’s nose!!

I have no idea how much room Charles has at his Christmas digs and who else already stays there. Maybe Camilla’s kids come over and they don’t have room?

It will look bad on Charles and his inability to “control” his son. No one is looking to her majesty to manage the family anymore, it’s up to Charles.

Harry is an adult. Most people can easily see that the fault lies with Harry, not his father. All of this is a result of Harry’s actions, not Charles.

I don’t think Elizabeth was scapegoated for Margaret’s marriage failing so publicly back in the early 70s. Most people with kids know that once your children are adults that they are no longer in your “control.”

True, they won’t still be together by the time Charles is officially king, however, the public gives QEII a pass cos she’s served well and for so long and now she’s old. The Harkle debacle rests squarely on Charles head.

Don’t agree. It rests mostly on Harry’s head because it’s his wife. Any fallout will affect Harry’s public position not Charles’ position.

Also, Charles isn’t officially regent at this point, so this is all still on Elizabeth’s watch.

image

I should probably clarify my message—Im saying Charles showing favoritism towards the problem couple before his reign knowing full well of her shady past & current shady dealings while married in the BRF will look poorly on Charles. I know theyll be divorced by 2020 but he needs to show unity with his sons for the sake of his reign.

Meh. I think by the time Charles becomes king other things will be on people’s minds. Also, I don’t think it’s obvious to any degree that Charles is showing favoritism in anyway if Doria shows up at Sandringham. That one will be on Queen Elizabeth and Philip. Also, I don’t think Charles has shown an overwhelming sense of favoritism toward Harry and Megs, at least not publicly. He just hasn’t publicly rebuked them in anyway such as the press.

image

Tbh I dont think the Queen nor Charles see bringing Doria as a way to accomplish anything. If you bring Doria, you better bring the Midds too. Bringing Doria would not show unity, only favoritism & at times like this, they need to show unity between the remaining senior royals that will tow the royal line when the Queen is gone. When the Harkle marriage goes south & turns ugly the last thing Charles needs is to show favoritism towards the problem couple. Itll reflect poorly on Charles judgement

Fit for a King: Prince Charles’s christening sponsors, 15 December 1948

Fit for a King: Prince Charles’s christening sponsors, 15 December 1948

Born just three-and-a-half years after VE Day 1945, HRH Prince Charles Philip Arthur George of Edinburgh was very much a post-war baby.  Even his christening, on 15 December 1948,  was a reminder of the impact of the war. It could not take place in the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace, where his mother had been baptised, because it had not yet recovered from wartime bombing. The beautiful…

“I hate how people have this preconceived assumption that Prince Charles is this horrible person, all because of his (EXTREMELY toxic) relationship with Diana that ended decades ago. People really gotta just shut up and do their own research; Diana was just as toxic, possibly more toxic, than Charles. She cheated on him and invited the man she had an affair with into her home and even let him meet her children, and she even went as far as falling down the stairs (purposely) while she was pregnant“ – Submitted by Anonymous

Im the odd one out but I hope Charles slims down the monarchy. Like basically keep Anne, Sophie & the Cambridges but sideline everyone else. Well, he will have to keep Harry unfortunately but send him off elsewhere.

talkingtarot:

But Beatrice and Eugenie would be very valuable as well.

Charles has made plenty of insinuations that those who are currently working royals such as Sophie and Anne will continue to be working royals, but those who are not close to the line of succession will not be working royals in the future.

Beatrice and Eugenie are able to lead a much less restricted life because they are not working royals, and there is no real reason for them to become working royals.

Ok, the reason I brought up Pippa’s wedding is to make a point about PC’s wealth. I’m not saying he should have paid for the wedding I was saying as a billionaire he COULD have. Pippa merches a lot. Middleton’s have used RF events to merch their business. Kate’s popularity dropped when she announced her third pregnancy due to taxpayers grumbling about the cost of the RF. PW got a big raise from taxpayers w/Louis’s birth, and PH/MM will to. RF finances are secretive. Too many loopholes.

image

there is so much misunderstanding of the RF and the merching freebies loaners issue. They cannot merch. They have a code of ethics which prohibits merching, endorsements, clothes that are loaned. They can accept gifts but those gifts are not their personal property. THe senior working royals are literally members of the government. So just as POTUS cannot merch or do endorsements neither can they. And why would PC pay for Pippa’s wedding? She is not his family.

Exactly. And usually the gifts they receive are often on display during exhibitions, such as when Buckingham Palace is open to visitors.

image

Pt 1: Why would Charles even want to pay for Pippa’s wedding? I. since when fathers-in-law of your sisters are willing to pay for your wedding? II. would Pippa and James even accept that offer? They’re rich on their own, they don’t need someone else to pay for them. III. Pippa is a private citizen and she can merch whatever she wants and who would ever say no to extra money earned in legal way? IV. Charles doesn’t use taxpayers money, he has his Duchy of Cornwall and it covers salaries

Pt 2: of his employees, schools of Cambridge kids, employees of his sons, his sons’ lives and his daughters-in-law’s clothes. He’ll be funded by taxpayer when he becomes king and starts to live off Sovereign Grant. As for now, he earns and spends his own money

I agree with you 100%!

image

Income from the Duchy of Cornwall is approx. 25 mil USD. From the Duchy of Lancaster it is about the same. The sovereign grant is approx. 55 mil USD. Then whatever their personal investments yield. They are not permitted to sell assets from either of the Duchies either so I have no idea where this rumor of them selling land off comes from. PC has actually expanded his land ownings for Highgrove and neither Balmoral nor Sandringham have sold any land from those estates.

Yeah, I think the person who said they were selling off properties is completely in the wrong. 

image

It’s highly unlikely PC is a billionaire. Pippa Middleton merches all the time and she looked to Australian business to pay for her wedding. If PC was a billionaire he could have helped pay for her wedding (3mil is nothing to a billionaire), AND would not need taxpayers to pay for his grandchildren’s schooling, salaries, or helicopter rides. Most of the RF merches. They may have money but they are not billionaires. MM wouldn’t need freebies, or Kate for that matter.

Also, aside from Meghan, working members of the BRF do not merch. 

Royals and the loss of money I’ve heard the same. They live beyond their means there estates are so big and so expensive to look after that there actually losing money. The dutchies are not making enough money to support them all. Rumors that there selling property to cover there costs. All is not what it seems with the Royals.

talkingtarot:

I don’t think they were really LOSING money but the Diana thing gave them a bit of a hit and then Kate came and helped a lot but then Meghan came and now it’s back falling again.

Charles is rumored to be a billionaire due to how well his finances have been since he divorced Diana more than 20 years ago. 

I’ve never seen Charles happier than with his grandchildren.

duchessofostergotlands:

He really does seem to have a lovely relationship with them. It’s nice to be able to put all the drama to bed and realise that he loves them and they love him. They feel very comfortable around him. Chris Jackson said George chose to go on his lap and the way Louis reached out for him and felt comfortable being close to him. You can’t fake that with children 

My theory on why MM/PH left early is they were told to. MM/PH LEAK EVERYTHING. Everything they hear and see. The Soho House Amsterdam Bday party (red light district and Douglas Booth), the alleged Monaco royal and surrogate among other things. Think about it how comfortable would Queen Rania feel or Prince Albert and other guest feel knowing EVERYTHING they say and do will be leaked to the media. This is the party MM would have loved to be seen at. No photos. No gossip. No MM/PH.

If they were that worried about her leaking, then why was a play-by-play of the party published in the Daily Mail? I think it’s clear that she didn’t want to be there because she’s not the star that she thinks she is.

image

if she left early and before the Queen as stated in the Kay article that is very telling of her status now within the family. The protocol which would be observed at this party is no one leaves before the Queen. PP left but he is the Queen’s husband and at his age it would be understandable. Harry and MM leaving before the Queen suggests they were told probably beforehand that there stay would be a short one. THe end date on this is soon at least privately.

I’m not sure I believe that they were told to leave early. I think they left early voluntarily. I think Charles would want his younger son there as long as possible. 

I suspect Megs would want to leave early because it’s not about her, and she’s not into celebrating other people when she can’t be the star. Harry has to leave because his wife wants to leave.
