What a fraud and a disgrace he is.

An American royal fan was filmed grabbing Kate by the hair as she leaned forward for a selfie before security stepped in to intervene. 

The Prince and Princess of Wales surprised fans today with a walkabout to meet members of the public on the Long Walk near Windsor Castle ahead of tonight's Coronation concert.

A video shows one excited fan, who appears to be from the US, get her phone out and pull Kate in for a photo before gripping the back of the princess's hair.

The arm of a concerned security guard is then seen pushing the fan's hand away, while another draws closer to assess the situation.

A relaxed Kate appears unfazed by the physical contact as she smiles for the photo, before politely saying 'nice to meet you'.

The excitable fan squeals at the selfie and apologises to the security guard who moved her hand away.

The ones tossed over a fence probably came from a yard sale. He wouldn't dare get rid of his actual medals - he knew he was going into politics. For him to trot out the Purple Heart at the coronation is beyond disgusting. What do the other ones signify? How many houses his wife owns?

Yeah I know...I was kidding..I forgot the story on whose medals he actually threw..we all know they weren't his.

Prince William told royal fans today that his father King Charles' neck hurt after wearing the hefty 5lb crown of St Edward during yesterday's Coronation ceremony.

The Prince and Princess of Wales stunned crowds during an unannounced walkabout at Windsor Castle ahead of tonight's star-studded coronation concert at 8pm.

William and Kate greeted those who had made the trip to Windsor Castle's Long Walk, shaking hands and chatting to revellers in some welcome sunshine after a rainy Coronation day.

The coronation concert will be wonderful and there won't be any tension coming from the 'Spare' one.

They can call her anything they want, she is still Queen Consort



Queen or queen consort? What to know about Camilla’s title

By SYLVIA HUI yesterday

LONDON (AP) — Now that she has been crowned alongside her husband, King Charles III’s wife is officially known as Queen Camilla.

While it sounds more official than “queen consort,” the changing of titles does not signify any practical difference in the role of the 75-year-old royal.

Queen consorts do not formally share the sovereign’s powers, and dropping the “consort” part of the title does not change that. Nonetheless, the change marks a milestone in Camilla’s decadeslong road to rehabilitating her image — from someone once reviled as the other woman in Charles’ first marriage to Princess Diana, to a senior royal member largely accepted by the British public.

The question of what title Camilla would hold when Charles became king has long been a subject of contention, due to sensitivity about her status as Charles’ second wife.

Camilla and her first husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, divorced in 1995, shortly after Charles gave an explosive television interview admitting his relationship with Camilla. Charles and Diana divorced the following year. In 1997, there was a global outpouring of grief when Diana died in a car crash. Camilla and Charles waited until 2005 to marry in a low-key private civil ceremony.

Ok, so the Brits have for the most part gotten past the adultery of the two.  I haven't really listened to her speak or read anything of real substance about her.  Charles is a globalist and envirowhacko ....Meh ... just not interested in the two.

Unfortunately, William is an envirowhacko as well. 

We shall see how much Britain will change under Charles.  I miss the Queen.

He cheated on this ...


For this ... and then made her Queen.

He cheated on this ... (Just like she did!!) and then she died in an awful wreck.)


For this (the person he loved from the beginning) ... and then made her Queen.

The coronation concert is pretty awesome -- I watched some of it on YouTube:

I actually liked Camilla more than the others (which ain't saying much)... Princess Di wasn't anything but a posh liberal brat that raised liberal brats.

BTW.. I watched zero coverage of this... only knew about due to this tread.

Charles and Diana had been formally separated since 1992, divorced in 1996 and in 2005 Charles and Camilla had a very public marital blessing ceremony, with the queen front and center. Question never asked is:  How different would the lives of all involved have been if Charles had been permitted to marry Camilla in 1972?



The love story is Charles's and Camilla's; the contract for an heir was Charles's and Diana's.  Someone should have explained that to Diana, at some point along the line.

The coronation was an absolute triumph for the real royals — and a disaster for bitter Harry and Meghan

By Piers Morgan
May 8, 2023

Until Sunday night, the most powerful public statement that’s ever come out of Prince William’s mouth was the eight words: “No, we’re very much NOT a racist family.”

He spat those words out with a cold fury to the media after he was asked about his brother Harry and sister-in-law Meghan’s incendiary claims of royal racism in their Oprah whine-a-thon two years ago.

They are claims for which the Sussex moaners have never produced a shred of evidence, and which Harry recently, and preposterously, tried to say weren’t ever intended to imply any racism.

Since then, the Prince of Wales has maintained a dignified silence as Harry has repeatedly and shamefully trashed him, his wife, Catherine, his father, Charles, and his stepmother, Camilla, in a repugnant tell-all book and Netflix documentary series.

It won’t have been easy.

*  *  *

And what was Harry’s contribution to supporting his father?

The surly spoiled brat barely mumbled the oath when the congregation was invited to say it, and looked like he found singing the national anthem in tribute to his dad as pleasurable as sucking on a lemon soaked in Tabasco.

A lip reader later revealed that Harry spent most of his time during the service complaining to Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s husband.

“I’m fed up with the way they treat me,” he apparently said at one stage, adding: “They don’t care.”

We don’t know whom he was talking about, but if it was his family, it was a laughably tone-deaf refrain given the way he and his wife have worked so tirelessly to embarrass, shame and cause damage to the royals and the monarchy.

Man, if you're a balding man, don't be skinny too. At least fat baldies like me can pull off the "tough guy" look.

[libertybele]

Lip readers I think are questionable.  I can see Harry grumbling and complaining.  He did it to himself.  He is no longer a working royal so he doesn't deserve any recognition nor apologies from his family because he and his wench trashed them on national TV and through a book. 

I can't see any reason now why Harry needs to visit other than on his own will to apologize after Markle dumps him.

The rest of the family was very wise not to respond to him and not to engage him.  All he would do is put how they mistreated him in his next book.

Both Markle and Harry are drama seekers and want people to think that they are above others. After all Harry is a prince as is his son and his daughter a princess.

The only thing royal about Hairy is that he is a royal PITA.

He may have said that, who knows? But I'd love to hear Jack's take on it.
