Thank you. She will be greatly missed by many Americans, too. I really enjoyed the things you included. I hope it is a long time before mean cartoons and memes show up! Her husband, whose name I can't remember how to spell - one "l" or two "lls" - seems to have said quite a few things other people were thinking, especially the flies vs. reporters comment. May they both be resting in peace.
Without being a moaner (OK going to moan) if any of us said anything like what he said we could well lose jobs or even get arrested (the more racist type comments).
People were arrested for holding up blank sheets of paper in the crowd (A4 size)
That's why I'm pretty sure no or few overtly racist remarks were made in Harry's wife's hearing. I heard that one extended family member wore a Blackamoor (sp?) brooch at a dinner where Ms Markle was a guest. People are people - we can invite them, but we can't make them behave!
Why on earth would the white size A4 paper get someone arrested?? My former sister-in-law certainly never mentioned that one! She did think it was hilarious when I said something was tacky or clothes were cute.
Tolstoy started Anna Karenina with: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” BUT I think we should assume the Royal family is like any other family e.g. you have your share of good people, naive people, practical jokers, bad people, toxic people, black sheep etc...
As for Markle though, she was a B actress (I had never heard of her) who only got to where she was because her now estranged (white) father was an academy award nominated sound man (I think). I don't recall what her mother did for a living but I thought she was also employed by Hollywood - meaning Markle had an inside tract to working in the industry...
Markle has a VERY BAD reputation for being a social climber and for completely DISCARDING people when they are no longer useful to her or are now perceived to be beneath her when she climbs the next rung e.g. like her father and friends, as she favors people higher up the ladder e.g. I think George Clooney and Obama were invited to her wedding but other family and friends discarded along the way were not.... She also pissed of William's wife, who is from self-made wealth, by the way she was treating the staff - another bad trait that social climbers who claw their way up will sometimes develop...
That was interesting! Thanks! I am interested in what people think of him. All I really know is that he's a globalist and into all of that environmental stuff 🙄
If he learns to keep his mouth shut and just perform his duties like his mother did, I think he will be ok... However, it sounds like some commonwealth countries, namely Carribean Islands, are using her death as an excuse to become Republics and thus have more power in the hands of local politicians...
There in lies the problem as I doubt that he will be able to keep his trap shut.
Another thing is that I do think that the Queen did genuinely believe that she had been chosen by God to be the monarch (divine right of kings) so she saw it as her duty to follow conventions and traditions.
Personally, I don't believe that Charles is anything but a **** (I will let you chose what word to put in here) and I also think that Andrew is having a laugh if he thinks people are going to forget that Mummy bailed him out to the tune of £12 million so he didn't have to face justice.
Obviously I am a complete nobody though and this is just my personal opinion about it.
I do believe Charles was pressured into marrying her as they clearly had nothing in common (e.g. that old interview of them sitting together etc - you could tell...), there was an age difference, and she was a bit immature BUT he felt like it was his duty and he followed palace advice while she wanted to be a Princess....
I think some people (divorcees!) will always resent Camilla because she was the other woman BUT they do seem like a match and she seems to take her role pretty seriously (e.g. being involved with 100s of charities is alot of work)... Dianna was more of a party girl...
I guess you can say that they as an institution do provide you with a sense of stability and a link to the past - something we don't really have in the USA or in republics.....
Boris was bad enough but when Liz had to invite Liz to form the new "Government" she could bear it no longer and died.
Can't wait to see how the WEF King chooses to "reign over us" whilst Liz puts Austerity 3.0 into action.
They didn't speak up against Deathvax. Did she love her subjects?

Apologies I got that a bit wrong.

Others (Scotland) who had written NOT MY KING on the paper were arrested.
ZSorry about that, I am a twat.

OK basically when Princess Diana died half of the UK lost their minds duly egged on by new PM Tony "WMDs in Iraq" Blair.
People were literally sobbing in the streets.
Many people still have not really forgiven Charles for Diana's death even though it was not his fault.
People are odd about the royals, people think they "know" them like they are family.
Personally I would rather get rid of the monarchy altogether becuase I think it is outdated BS.
But other people think the opposite.
One thing for sure, they are not going anywhere.,
