Please go away, pandemic. I've planned and hoped for so long to visit these places! And I agree, well done Charles. He's an interesting man, and people miss so much because we need people to be either the Hero or villain, full stop. The man also brought an entire town back to life - of course I suddenly can't remember the name now, but he created *many* jobs, and provided training. I remember tearing up listening to two young men talk about how Charles helped by giving them these tools, this work, that made them feel better about themselves because they realized they were capable of so much more than they thought. That's fascinating to me. Here is a man we see having everything handed to him, but somehow, he can understand the worth derived from *work*. How in the heck did he learn that, I would love to know.
@Irene Davo, here you go: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumfries_House Scroll down almost to the bottom, where it says "Charity Ownership". It's explained there. :)
100km ride would be challenging for anyone, rods in your back?? Awesome effort to even contemplate. How did she do? The kids following this ground breaking procedure no doubt appreciate the evidence walking in. Three cheers to you Princess. Yes we all love your Granny.
Victoria herself was prone to temper-tantrums in her early years Her relationship with Albert; although passionate was also tempestuous; until she learned to control her emotions and temper.
So it's (sort of) okay for Bertie to screw his fool brains out, but the Family Mordaunt declares their daughter a lunatic, and sends her to a lunatic asylum for the rest of her life??? WTF??? That's the true tradgedy here!!!
I understand part of these servants perspectives to a point. Ive always been attracted to the historic monarchy and the pageantry. But damn what an odd way to live your short life on earth.
I couldn’t care less what happens, specially the Elizabeth. I lost every respect for her, when she didn’t want to lower the flag half mass when Princess Lady Diana passes away. Harry & William is the only ones I like, specially Harry. He’s so down to earth and acts like we all do.
Has anyone seen the Tracey Ullman character (unnamed except for "Ma'am")? The wife of the Governor of Mustique was a close friend of mine, and apparently Ullman's impersonation of Margaret - an impossible, haughty, demanding humorless bitch-on-wheels - is pretty close to the truth. My friend had to entertain Princess Margaret and Roddy Llewellyn to dinner on numerous occasions and it always brought her out in hives from the stress of trying to walk through that minefield. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GKgGeq-lk98.html
Dianna was the definition of a money hungry, camera hungry, fame hungry embarrassment that was not a princess and certainly wasn't when she divorced Charles after taking advantage of the media loving her and ridiculing him and playing around like a club rat who loved the glamour and privilege that went along with marrying the Prince of Wales, while herself having affairs and being an all around twat. She was the media darling and could do no wrong and she certainly put on a show in interviews after the divorce. Are so many people such dull slaves to media that they couldn't see the act she put on? Everything she did while married, then after the divorce when she was NOT a princess, and btw the title of princess of Wales shouldn't be denied his current wife, on top of the embarrassment she was after leads me to think it foolish that anyone should care about her "legacy".
Why does Prince Charles have to be so nasty to the servants?? Hey, Chuck, chill out!!! Think this sounds a bit disrespectful? Respect is earned and he has zero from me and many of my fellow Texans. God bless Diana for putting up with him as long as she did. RIP Diana.
Ridiculous that Princess Margaret was having an affair with Group Captain Townsend from the time she was 16 and he was in his in early thirties, married and with children, but she wouldn't marry him because she was just too religious to marry a divorced man. Only stupid women want men who betray their wives and children.
