I saw a picture of her in that outfit earlier on fb. I think it was under ENews saying she was there for it Eta- in the pic, she wasn't at the funeral but it said she was in London. http://instagr.am/p/CislK7vpa3s She was there! She’s a member of the Canadian Order of Valour. TIL she's Canadian |

DD (4yo) came in and saw the funeral on tv. I explained who it was for and pointed out the crown on the casket.
She was not for it. “Why isn’t it gold?”
Because it’s covered in diamonds and you can’t see the metal.
“But it’s not gold”
…which is probably preferable to stolen gems but goodness she has a lot to learn about jewelry. 😂

Yea, I can see that. But I also think it’s okay to admit when we are not doing our best. Or, that we have done our best and, in hindsight, it wasn’t really what we were going for. Of course, I doubt the tiktoker was going that deep. I have this issue where I look back with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, separate from the stress or challenge of whatever past time of my life and think "that wasn't my best" and I start taking away grace from myself and laying down fresh regrets over old issues that probably nobody else even remembers. And logically I know it's not fair to myself. At that time of life (say, when my anxiety was undiagnosed and untreated and I really didn't understand what was happening), that was my best parenting - even if today I cringe. So it can't be a cop out, but neither can "our best" be something we weaponize against ourselves because that needle will move over time as we gain the benefit of experience and knowledge. I can see all sides of this thing. Yes, this |

Random thought of the day: do you think Buckingham Palace will start selling squirrel themed souvenirs instead of corgi themed ones? Maybe tampons with his royal crest? |

We saw him. That’s the first we saw him I’m sure a lot of it was his age. But if they had kept them working I could see them being visible as they got older Hmm, I don’t know about that. I think they’d be more protective of him, as they have been even in California. Who knows! If they had stayed working royals the kids would be at things. Sure they could have had lived similar to Edwards kids but they would have been there. Do people here really think Will and Kate have that much say? Sure I see how their kids come out to help them in the press sometimes but that’s just as much a firm thing as a W&K thing. Just like Charles did to them |

Paddington bears, surely?! What is the squirrel reference? Chuck loves red squirrels. Apparently the invasive grey American squirrel has killed them all off?U-S-A! U-S-A!  |

I took the tried my best cop out way different. She wasn’t talking about the parents who tried their best but sometimes just throw PB&J at their kids for dinner. She is talking about those who claim to have tried their best and say well I’ll tried my best and raised you like I was and I’m fine.
I know we all have our things but she was not talking about the day to day parents

Just like Charles did to them I have no doubt it is the courtiers’ idea most of the time, but they do have say, imo. It’s a hereditary position, so if they refused to let their kids be used, William couldn’t exactly be fired. I mean, there could be other repercussions- we’ve seen how the courtiers can smear someone they don’t like and until two weeks ago, Charles could have limited how much money they were given. |

Are England's red squirrels different than US red squirrels? We have practically an entire colony living in the trees around my house, and judging by the number of times they have very nearly been run over by cars and picking fights with the crows, they appear to not at all be that intelligent. |

Picks fights and not that intelligent and you’re wondering why Charles feels a connection? |

Conspiracy theorists are claiming the voice is Diana. I guess she's one of the ones they think didn't actually die (like JFK jr)?

Picks fights and not that intelligent and you’re wondering why Charles feels a connection? It all makes such perfect sense now. |
