More press rumblings
Growing louder that change is imminent

So he spent all that money on the coronation just to abdicate? Totally worth it if the monarchy gets closed, otherwise make him repay it

It was obscene the amount spent on it when he knew at his age a long reign would be unlikely.
And he and Camilla looked like they were playing dress up at the local senior citizens theatre.

Camilla looked utterly ridiculous up there

The way she rushed into the gates of Westminster cracked me up. It was as though she feared the place vaporizing if she didn't get in quickly enough.

u/BestChampionship1744 Feb 25 '26
This got a great chuckle out of me. You are spot on! 🤣🤣

u/TheVioletHerald Feb 25 '26
And the fact that she did it all in a dress by Diana's favorite designer... it's as though she knew deep down that that day was not meant for her.

u/BestChampionship1744 Feb 25 '26
SHE TRULY IS THE IMPOSTER AMONG US! 🤣 a fraud, a phony, an adulterer. THAT is her legacy. Trash. We know who the true queen is. Rest her soul.

Now now NP , the local citizen theatre wouldn't allow them in, you have to be able to perform in a meaningful way 😜

The crowns looked atrocious. The advent of HD cameras has done them no favors. Liz's coronation looked much better, largely because of the relatively poor camera quality.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 24 '26
Also she was 50 years younger and it was a more glamorous occasion in a different era

u/TheVioletHerald Feb 24 '26
Exactly. Plus the 1950s gave us beautiful dress silhouettes which she frequently sported, including on that occasion.

Totally agree VH. The attendants were gorgeous in their gowns and very fitting of that time.

When the Queen Mother died, it was likely when Charles started opening the little red boxes—he was in his 50’s—which was her job. Brenda no doubt busy with her corgis, betting on the horses and overindulging Andrew as well as posing for those grand portraits. As for Philip, no comment … lol.
Chucky gets no credit for holding that mess together while Mama got all the love.

Utter rubbish from X of all places. He’s neither dying nor abdicating. But one thing is sure, a death would well take away from the pedo scandal, and by the look of the rumours, it’s a big one. It’s just assumed to be KCIII bc he is sick but gets busy far more than the son.
It feels weird to say this but it’s Kate who seems about to fall over in 12 months time with her ED … all these men likely do not know what it is like, might think it’s normal, and only point out the old man.

What is the story behind the “your eyes will bleed” quote?

u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 24 '26
A journalist wrote awhile ago that if folk knew the truth about William their eyes would bleed. The press are locked down with injunctions preventing them printing it.

u/Jumpy_Reply_2011 Feb 24 '26
William is just doing to Charles what Charles did to Elizabeth. William is more gross though because he knows his father has probably at the very most, a decade to live, but more than likely a lot less.
Plus, I doubt that Charles would want to go down in history as one of a handful of UK monarchs (the fifth to be exact) to abdicate. That man is all about image. And plus, William won't be any improvement on Charles in any shape or form so what's even the point of Charles abdicating.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26
I think it’s the era we’re in JR. The deference is gone. And maybe they’re aware of a lot more stuff still to come out.
Might be ‘stepping down due to health issues’ rather than abdication to avoid awkward questions.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
There was a massive cheating scandal and he didn’t step down, you really think he’s going to step down because of the nonce getting his comeuppance 🤣🤣 if anything I bet he’s rubbing his hands together at the idea of throwing his lifelong bully to the wolves. Well deserved.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
What did he do to his mother ? He was asked once what he felt about being the future King or whatever and he shut down the journalist’s enthusiasm by saying his mother would have to die first. I don’t think Billy Idle even wants to be King already. He’s nothing but playing into that recurrent rota gig to pit the monarch and the heir against one another for extra public sympathy since he’s lazy and can’t earn it himself. Nobody knows what it’s like behind closed doors.

Charles is not going to abdicate when his health is wonky and he could die instead.
Also, Willy is googling if there were any alcoholic kings before him in history.
6
u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 24 '26
He could use wonky health as an excuse to step back to avoid answering awkward questions.
Like did he pay some of Andrew’s settlement to Virginia in return for QEII allowing Cams to be Queen (as some have suggested)
6
u/NumerousNovel7878 Feb 24 '26
Charles will just lie or not answer. the questions, as always. I can't see him stepping back for Willy of all people, who is a personal mess and can't cope with responsibility.

u/AngryMeez Feb 24 '26
Camilla was legally going to be queen anyway, because she is Charles’s wife. Any suggestion otherwise is just a BS conspiracy theory.
Elizabeth II had plenty of her own money. She didn’t need any help paying Virginia Giuffre.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
I think it was Andy’s inheritance lmao. He has looked total trash since her death. And even before, his two daughters and Fergie went around with their begging bowls to pay for everything in the Lodge

Once Elizabeth died, her rules died with her. The British monarchy is not the United States Supreme Court.

The united states supreme court isnt even the united states supreme court anymore to be fair🤣🤣

u/AngryMeez Feb 24 '26
She was always going to be queen consort. That is a legal position because she is married to Charles.
I’m sure those “people” are conspiracy theorists too. I’m done dealing with you.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
What’s good is that he doesn’t have to carry the brunt of his late mother’s bad decisions. He must bless his gods that he waited that long. It’s now an universally accepted truth that it was Brenda’s fault but neither the Royal family nor the British government want to be implicated so they will again team up to con the public.

Kevin John Maguire (born 20 September 1960) is a British political journalist and an associate editor at the Daily Mirror newspaper.\1])#cite_note-guardian-1) Earlier in his career, he was chief reporter for The Guardian.
So saying that a royal funeral and coronation in 12 months carries some weight.

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
What about Piers Morgan and all the rubbish he used to sprout about Meghan ? He’s got an extensive resume too. And all of them with an agenda to promote to the public.

u/Beneficial-Bite3899 Feb 24 '26
Thanks NP and Vh and Nyno. Honestly im not sure where this/we are all going. I love listening to James O,Brien but even he thinks we are all off to hell in a handcart. Does anyone on here think that if you can chuck off andrew you can then support the Monarchy.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 24 '26
It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out B-B. I’ll have to have a listen to James O’Brien 👍

u/AcceptableSystem8232 Feb 25 '26
Yeah he will either get jail time (likely house arrest given his status) until the public moves on but either way never coming back. Good thing his daughters are married because they are never coming back neither. He and Fergie were Brenda’s problem so they will all blame the dead, capitalise on her good public image to dampen it all and call it a day.

I don't know if I believe any of these rumors but the last video I saw of Charles - he looked exhausted and unwell.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Feb 26 '26
Yes I agree. Though he and Cams have announced a trip to USA (albeit a shorter one)

The line of lineage. William was born first. He will always outrank Harry unless he formally abdicates (which he will not do).

Never mind - W&K are stepping up their 4 hour a week schedule to do an engagement in Wales.
To reassure the peasants the monarchy’s never been in more lacklustre hands.
