Alright, I'm feeling very confused (thanks, migraine & allergy attack), but what's with the beans references? England and their love of beans. Full English breakfast and all that. |

I wish my face looked like that during pick up time. My 4yo just asked who took that picture of me 💁🏼♀️ With some well placed fillers and maybe 30 less pounds, I can almost get there 😂 |

I knew it was part of the breakfast smorgasbord. I did not know it was that big of a deal as to be meme'd.
I'm going to bed.

OK The Duchy of Cornwall belongs to the 2nd in line to the throne. Charles and Camilla held this title until the Queens death. Charles is now the King. William is now 2nd in line and automatically inherits the Duke of Cornwall title. He also holds the title of Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Cambridge was a title gifted him from the Queen upon his marriage. She did this so Kate could hold a title. Other wise They would have been Prince William and Princess Willam (ie. Princess Michael of Kent) it’s a courtesy so Kate did not have to literally be called her husbands name. William now, as 2nd in line, has the option of becoming the Prince of Wales, but this is gifted and has a ceremony and all that. So that will happen at a later time. Right now William and Kate hold both titles Cornwall and Cambridge so they are officially (currently) the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. The kids are HRH Prince George of Cornwall and Cambridge. It’s possible they don’t use both titles all the time. Harry gets nothing really, as the 2nd born, since William has kids. Harry and Meghan are still Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as gift to them from the Queen upon their marriage (so Meghan didn’t have to be Princess Harry.) Their kids though, are now HRH Prince Archie of Sussex, and HRH Princess Lilibet of Sussex (unless Harry and Meghan say don’t do that.) First, sorry I am late to this. I just spent three hours reading this thread. Second,thanks for this post. I teach British lit and had lectured on the BRF last week, so this afternoon, I put together a second presentation for tomorrow. I knew most of what you posted, but this is such a succinct summary, so thanks. My question is this...why is William considered second in line now? Why isn't he first in line now that Charles is king? I just want to make sure I get my wording right. Thanks again. |

I don't understand the tweet/response. I also don't like JoRo so there's that. |

I’ll give him three dollars and a bomb pop. She had to go to bed, but I’ll get her on a plane to you first thing in the morning. Definitely lead with the bomb pop. |

ETA: everything where I said 2nd in line should be first (Duchy of Cornwall goes to first in line. William is first in line.) apparently my brain isn’t interested in the updated line of succession yet. Thank you for catching that! It should still all be correct if you swap 2nd with 1st. |

Great top.
When my sister got her Corgi my kids were already born and named.
We were looking through names the Queen used for Corgis and both of my kids names are on the list.
My sister will never let me live it down.

I just want Andrew to burn. Can Charles do that? I think they’ve generally moved away from burning people. (And also I want Andrew to be alive and miserable he’s lost all his royal perks) This made me snort laugh. |
