Haven't they learned from Betty White NOT to celebrate BEFORE the actual event? Ugh.

I think Memaw is dialing it in anyway. At this point they might as well let her get in as many events as she's up to.

Haven't they learned from Betty White NOT to celebrate BEFORE the actual event? Ugh. Assension Day is tomorrow - the anniversary of her father’s death. This was when she became Queen. She is going to spend the day alone this year, since Phil has gone. Her coronation was the same week that Edmond Hillary got to the top of Everest, in the June 1953 - which is when the celebration will be. (June not 1953 obviously) |

At this point she's been married to Charles for longer than Diana. If the Queen dies and Charles ascends the throne she is technically the Queen consort even if they chose not to use that title.

...and I think she fully deserves the titel Queen Consort. She'd been nothing but an asset to the RF, doing her work with dignity, but always unasuming.
And it's clear that she's making her husband happy, stabilizes him, which is certainly not an easy task.

the timing is a little sus.
the most straightforward interpretation is that the queen senses the end is near so she's making sure her final wishes are known, and she's laying the groundwork for charles to have a successful reign. but there's nothing straightforward about these people and you could argue she intentionally did it now as a gesture of goodwill, so officially accepting camilla into the fold with all the bells and whistles even though she broke with convention and didn't come into the royal family a blushing virgin but as the divorced 'other woman', makes the royal family look warm and accepting again (lol). and they need that after all the unnecessary dramaz with harry and meaghan who got punished for going against convention, and the blow to their reputation for covering up for andrew's bullshit for years and years.

Anything to try to clean up the public opinion of a racist, pedo-loving, institution.

I'm completely unphased by this. After all, what real difference will it make to anyone if Camilla is titled as Queen Consort or not? Maybe there'll be two heads in profile on postage stamps instead of one - big whoop! The world will still turn and ordinary life for ordinary people won't differ any apart from a little extra clutter of souvenir mugs and newspapers gathering dust on a shelf or in a drawer.

And given the raise in interest rates & gas prices that will have a knock on effect, BJ lying to parliament about, well, everything & Russia/Ukraine…. I heard about Russia & China building a trade route this weekend & Russians learning to speak mandarin… scary stuff! |

Well, I guess now that Betty’s reached the anniversary date, the Jubbly Celebrations can begin. Bet Cam is celebrating extra hard.

She has great hair, but she's so basic that she's barely attractive. She's exactly what William and the monarchy needs, a future Stepford Wife King Consort - and nothing more. The hair she is wearing is great hair, but it’s not her hair other than she paid for it. Wouldn't clip-ins or extensions show with a ponytail though? I've seen women who have those with their hair up, and you can see where the fake hair is attached. |

Her Majesty thinks she's in Basic Instinct and it's an ice pick. Brooch watch - The two brooches are from a tiara given to the Princess Elizabeth by the Nizam of Hyderabad. She broke up the tiara and created brooches. Memaw never goes anywhere without that black purse. I wanna know what all she has stashed in there. Still, she finds ways to fill the space. “Obviously, all of these things aren’t in the bag all the time,” Dampier warns, because, as you can see, that would be chaos. Per Dampier, contenders for the royal cargo include: • “A small metal makeup case, one of her prized possessions” — Prince Philip had it made for her as a wedding gift — and some makeup • A fountain pen to guard against the indignity of using a ballpoint • Family photos, notably including a picture of Prince Andrew, rumored to be the queen’s favorite, returning to England from the Falklands War “with a rose in his mouth” • “An array of knickknacks” and “good-luck charms,” most of them gifts from her children, in an animal or “horsey” theme • Dog treats for her fleet of corgis (which is what my sister guessed when we dissected the matter via text) • A crossword puzzle clipped from the paper by one of her aides, for “if she’s got a bit of time to kill” • A mirror • A penknife, “a sort of throwback to her days when she was a Girl Guide” • Glasses, both for reading and sun • An address book • A diary • A small camera for her photo albums • Mints, “in case she’s got a tickly throat, if she’s going to make a speech and she might cough” And, of course, the crown jewel of the queen’s handbag: an “S-shaped meathook” that Dampier says she used to pack at Prince Philip’s suggestion. “She’d put the meathook on the corner of the table and hang the bag from it so she wouldn’t have to put it on the floor.” His sources report that she has now, unfortunately, switched to “a sort of plastic suction pad.” (I've received these hooks as gifts and they're great. Never used them once in a restaurant) www.thecut.com/2020/12/why-does-the-queen-carry-her-handbag-indoors-whats-inside.html |
