The thing I remember most about the death of Phil, is that every time Witchell was interviewed, he turned everything in to an anti Harry rant

As for names he should stick to Charles, but if he wants to really edgy go with Arthur.

The same names are boring, and the George’s are remotely shit for the most part, 3 to 4 mad Germans, someone remembers solely because he looked like his dad and someone who had to step in at a time of crisis.

That’s really how much I care about the monarchy.

I'm surprised some twat hasn't come up with the wheeze that he should be King Phil, in honour of his dad and the title he was never given

Surely King Philip was the husband of Mary Tudor. Can't have the head of the CofE being named after a greesy forrin cafflick anti-protestant, can we.

So you're saying that Charlie can't become King Mary?

I don't think he could be king Mary either. The TERFs, including the Equalities Minister, would never allow it.

Brenda has apparently very sensibly decided she doesn't want anything to do with the "national flagship", and has made it clear it should NOT be named after her recently departed husband.

It's not as if she's likely to go globetrotting again anyway, Chas is on record as saying he thinks it's a waste of money, and Will doesn't seem to keen either.

As Prince George probably does love boats in his bathtub at the moment, this all means that you can rule out royal patronage for this nonsense until about 2070 or so.

Unless of course Andrew wants to make it a party boat in international waters.

It’ll just have to be left to the PM and his wife to conduct Anglo-Caribbean trade relations from the yacht in the winter months.

Precisely what it's for. A floating gin palace for Tories and their donors to get sloshed on.

All eyes on Carrie Johnson in first role as UK first lady at G7 summit

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... 1622564042


Britain doesn't use the title "first lady", and if we did the job would be ably filled by one Elizabeth Windsor.


The Guardian, of all publications, ought to be better than this fawning sub-LauraK stuff.

One of the wealthiest women on the planet, expecting people to weed her garden for free:

The Queen appeals for volunteers to work in the gardens of her Sandringham estate
Those with an annual membership of the country estate and private residence of the Queen received an email offering the opportunity for 20 people to visit and work on the 20,000-acre estate which boasts spectacular gardens and woodlands.

On the morning of June 25, the chosen volunteers will receive tuition before they are divided into teams and given their responsibilities. Applicants are being asked to bring gloves, sunscreen, and a water bottle.

For the corgi puppy that Andrew bought her recently (exclusive to all papers), because he's Mummy's favourite, he's obviously a lovely son, and everyone should look at the cute puppy photos, and pay no attention to the stuff about Andrew that the papers don't want to talk about.
