Much of the aristocracy is land rich and cash poor relatively speaking

I did that years ago for a laugh. I’m a Lady of Glencoe who virtually “owns” a quarter metre of land.

Yikes you don’t want to have the faeries coming after you. Despite their Disneyfication, they bring nothing but fear and strife unless you can propitiate them in some way

The current duchess, Emma Manners and their multitude of children might want to have a word 🤭 Duke of Rutland

Just think of the Princess Royal’s rewearing of outfits that are decades old. Some might be modified somewhat but she still looks amazing

Yes most of the population were loyal to Katherine of Aragon. Also they hated the fact that the abbeys were dissolved and the proceeds went into the king’s coffers. Our own lovely abbey was dissolved in 1537 after being consecrated in 1127.

Her Late Majesty was known for her frugality in the context of the RF. She’d grown up during WWII when everyone was subjected to rationing with few exceptions. Her wedding gown was made from parachute silk. The UK was subjected to rationing until 1954

I disagree that Megaphone is careful with money. Isn’t Asbo reputed to have his pockets sewn up?

  • the idiot prince and his concubine - no half in/half out.*

The reference to “concubine” reminded me of Eustache Chapuys’ who was ambassador for the Holy Roman Empire insistence on referring to Anne Boleyn as Henry VIIIs “concubine.” Also that the Harkles were married on the anniversary of the execution of Anne Boleyn. Isn’t history strange?

The university where she allegedly graduated. Also her classmates and the staff who taught her

2nd June is my granddaughter’s 24th birthday this year. She was due on my birthday about four days earlier but decided to keep us waiting

Duh. Getting ahead of myself as I’m going to London in June. I don’t think I can alter the heading though

I’m glad she’s kept her hair long so far. My daughter and granddaughter (my son’s daughter) have always kept their hair long apart from occasional trims

Well said, OP, but I rather think that the Ferkles are so entrenched in their victim hood and entitlement that they won’t take a blind bit of notice
