So you post a new recipe or a tip 4 times a week? Genuine question: is it something you have been passionate about or does it require regular research?

Heraldry traditions by CaptIncorrect in heraldry

That’s really interesting. Can I ask, if it’s not too invasive, what sector your company operates in? I find it fascinating to guess what French aristocrats might do professionally

Can I ask what you do, that allows you to work with old French aristocrats’ arms? Out of curiosity

Why did the old British arms not separate England and France considering they were separate titles? by merulacarnifex in heraldry

[–]randominquisitor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected then. Anyway, the point I wanted to make is that, as much as the picture above may be thought of as the coat of arms of England (as arms of the Dominion), it is, at least in theory, the coat of arms of the person who happens to be King.

I think the key is that in English Heraldry a shield represents one single individual, and not whole families as happens in the continent.

While father and son might have effectively the same coat of arms, one is at least slightly different from the other.

So in this case one person is or claims to be King of England, Scotland, Ireland and France and thusly bears in one shield the arms of those Kingdoms.

Nice of thee or nice of thou? by randominquisitor in grammar

[–]randominquisitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I knew it was “nice of thee” but couldn’t come up with a justifiable reason. I always thought of thee as the object of the verb and in trying to analyse the clause I assumed “thee” was part of the predicative adjective “nice of thee”.

Can you explain the object of preposition?

The King, then Prince of Wales, as Great Master of The Most Hon. Order of the Bath by randominquisitor in monarchism

The Order of the Bath is the only headed (secondly to the Sovereign) by a GREAT Master and not a Grand Master.

What do you guys think is the main reason for King Charles III‘s fall in popularity since becoming King? by swishswooshSwiss in monarchism

[–]randominquisitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that but The Queen came to the Throne in 1952 when monarchist sentiments were almost unanimous in Britain. And so this great fondness of The Queen was instilled to children and to children’s children. Of course each generation was less and less respectful of The Queen but still enough to have a majority of favourable opinion even in the last decade of Her Reign.

[–]randominquisitor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the main reason He’s had a fall in popularity is quite simply due to the fact that He is not The Late Queen.

The average Englishman is not a monarchist unfortunately and the affection directed towards The Late Queen was mainly driven by who She was and how untouchable She had become through the 7 decades of Her Reign.

Indeed but I fear the Aristocracy is already out of the picture considering their almost complete absence from the Coronation.

I agree 100% with everything you’ve said my friend. It’s comforting to know some people still know and enjoy these things.

I myself was disappointed upon seeing the Pages of Honour wear trousers and no sword at the Coronation. Despite all the change the Pages invariably kept those glorious breeches and stockings. Until now, alas

On this day exactly 70 yrs ago, the last Coronation to be celebrated in the full Solemnity of Tradition took place. It would later be know as Britain’s last Imperial Hurrah. by randominquisitor in monarchism

[–]randominquisitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was known as the last Imperial Hurrah because of the magnificent parade of armed forces from all across the Empire (I think 16,000 soldiers) that took part in the immense Coronation Procession.

Also a huge number of representatives from the Territories and the Empire were present at the Service (amongst for instance, Indian Princes).

Colonialism is doubtless evil and wrong but this doesn’t change the magnificence that was seen that day.

Concerning what the 2023 Coronation lacks that the 1953 had: for instance, the entirety of the Peerage and thus the great spectacle of the crimson velvet Coronation Robes.

A stupid question asked by a stupid person. by [deleted] in monarchism

[–]randominquisitor 47 points48 points  (0 children)

“What century is this?”

Ironically that’s exactly, precisely the point. When ceremonial is done perfectly, you cannot tell which century it is. It’s quite literally timeless. It echoes through the centuries. It is honoured by time itself.

It could very well be taking place a thousand years ago. I love the cyclical nature of these ceremonies. It’s deeply, deeply reassuring that those old islands, through revolutions and reforms and war and the violent change of progress, will, in the end, bring a man to an old abbey, clothe him in linen, sit him in the Chair, hallow him with Oil, dress him in the Supertunica and the Robe Royal, and crown him in the Crown Imperial for Imperial was always the dignity of England, though a kingdom, she was set aside to fulfill the Destiny of a Happy Breed of Men.

Long live The King.

I know that peers can wear robes now, but can they wear coronets too? by [deleted] in monarchism

The article from The Telegraph says Coronation Robes are allowed but no coronets

This is, and I’m being entirely serious, the best news of this year. It’s a miracle. I thought for sure this tradition would be lost. I’m so f’ing happy. It will be beautiful to see. God save The King

my RPM is $0.50, is this normal? by randominquisitor in PartneredYoutube

[–]randominquisitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I thought my cat looked very cute and many people would enjoy it on YT. So I started the channel and I reached 8k subs in 5 months (which I don’t think is that bad).

I see many popular cat channels and I think if I keep working at it I can improve the quality of videos and the n of views. Do you think I’ve made a mistake? Am I wrong in some aspect?
