For me and my part I did wonder why it was taking so long for Harry to get there. It is just me going huh they all got there so quick I hope he got his time.
I say this as someone who has rushed to be at the bedside. I know that unconcious or whatever but I believe they hear and I always wanted to be there.
I don't think he was left out and I don't think it is some conspiracy and people are just genuinely curious.

The Realms. It all sounds made up. Sorry UK. Until your mother born in 1967 have to fight with the Governor-Generals office that she’s British by birthright. Then you see how staunchly it’s all a sham that controls so much of life within the Commonwealth. It’s all made up but somehow the point matter a great deal and screw so many over. HRH Chuck 3 will get my carry over fuck them energy |

don't ever leave us again I can’t multitask all my interests some days. This is a sign in getting old huh? I've lived here today and bounced a few times to blinds and was struggling so I am back here. |

Guys, the woman was 96 years old. This shit was figured out ages ago. I just figured the Royal Family would announce it, not the PM. I’m not sure Liz Truss is going to have a legacy of competence |

I think Charles got Cornwall a really long time ago but always went by Prince of Wales. Then when he married Camilla they started using Cornwall more to avoid saying Prince of Wales and that old bag. (TIC)
It was just smoother to say “Duke and Duchess of Cornwall”

So like, what makes a monarchy go away? Retire? Ride off into the racist and classist sunset? Anything?

The British gov complains about it, but the royal family brings in two billion pounds annually to the economy. They won't be doing away with it. |

Is it too soon to ask about tiaras? Because I want to know if coronation day will bring out the tiaras?

Someone posted “The Queen is dead” and then someone replied “RIP Betty White. I’m still not over it.”
I laughed.

I went on a high school trip to London and bought my grandma an egg cup in the pattern of the Royal China. I got it back when I was clearing out her house. I know I’ve shared here, here and there, about how talking about royal gossip and stuff with Grams brought me a lot of joy and amusement, especially as she got older and more housebound. I don’t really care for the monarchy as an institution, but man, it really does feel like my grandmother is dead and so is one of the cultural touchstones I shared with her. So maybe I should do palinka shots from the egg cup? Who’s with me? Malort or go home. |

I don’t think there’s shadiness happening with Harry getting there late. There’s so many ways to communicate even while far away. it’s getting a bit weird in here. We are weird. I don't actually think there is shadiness I think it's possible they were planning to arrive in London for the WellChild awards and he had to change his plans on the fly to get to Scotland instead. Which was probably chaotic. At the end of the day, it's a relief to me that he and Meghan were already in Europe with plans to be in the UK and not home in California, because that would probably have been agonizing for him. |
