They wouldn't have allowed him to mumble and bluster his way through the 12 days of mourning. That's exactly what I thought. Harry, conveniently in the UK, and the BBC clearing their schedule and dressed in black, even before she had passed. Angela Rayner's face said it all when she was handed that note in the Commons. What a charade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: I'm so glad I don't watch TV any more, as I'm pretty sure what it's like right now - all your favourite shows 'cancelled' and replaced with wall-to-wall 'tributes' and people being 'sad'. My neighbour told me when I arrived home this evening. I did have a quick look on the BBC News website "just to be sure", and I did feel a little sad briefly, after all regardless of your feelings towards her and the Royal Family in general, she was still someone's great-granny etc. Still, the prospect of King Charles II is a pretty grim one, what with hime set to become the "Green King" and all that... I do feel something - can't stand the Royals but it's just the fact that she's always been there as a fixture in the background for my entire life, so I acknowledge that it's the end of an era. Charles, carbunkle on a veruca, the 3rd will be bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemuri Kyoshiro Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Now we'll hear Meghan Markle telling us all about how she was the Queen's favourite daughter-in-law and how she secretly longed to go to America and move in with Markle's mother for a bit of peace and quiet.

alexa Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II was announced, a rainbow appeared to those anxiously waiting to hear the news outside of the palace gates. A double rainbow even appeared over the Victoria memorial. This I believe is some sort of promise from God, but what ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Talk Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Another aspect of the timing. Officially a monarch's funeral is nine days after the death. I guess they could bend the rules but as it is, the funeral falls slap-bang on a Saturday. More convenience? Who knows?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I thought you were alluding to somthing that I'd missed. Yes - I referred to it being the end of an era a couple of posts before him too, so even those of us who are anti royal feel something. But it's partly trepidation at what's in store in the next act of this bizarre theatre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
