Wonder if Harry and Meghan will return for the funeral, or just extend the middle finger a bit more.
Well you are only supposed to have up to 30 mourners at a funeral in the UK from 12 April (15 at the moment) so it'll be interesting to see what happens then!I don't think it's a question of whether they'll turn it down so much as whether they should go in the first place. Flying to the UK could both be risky and look bad in its own right. How dare they fly internationally during a pandemic, likely using private or luxury aircraft, and so on.
Booking error, you have to read those tickets carefully.I didn't realize the Prince visited my city of London, Ontario three times: once in 1951, 1959 and again in 1983.

He was 99, in fairly poor health and frankly I have dealt with corpses that looked healthier than him. Him passing away was expected to happen so I think that's why everyone is rolling their eyes at the coverage.I can appreciate it. I'm sure plenty of Brits are willing to mourn Prince Philip, but the BBC and the government as a whole had a "you must mourn everywhere, at all times" mindset. I still remember that one video clip of seeing in-memoriam graphics on highway displays... you're not even allowed a respite on the way home!

the Commonwealth mourns.
99 years is a long life. I will be happy to hit my 80's.

Harry's going.
Meghan's too preggers for the trip, doctor's orders.
That is one fertile chick. She pops a puppy if the wind blows too hard.
Wow, anyone look at the ceremonial garb (at first I thought they were dressed as court jesters) some of the royal personnel and church hierarchy had on. Several people could retire on the amount of money spent on gold embroidery on that crap. Hopefully, after this queen is gone, the British may think seriously about what a Fn parasitic waste non-functioning royalty is.
Wouldn't count on it. Prince Charles is next in line, and he'll have a lot of public support. That and I imagine a lot of the expenses you see on display happened decades ago.
People support that pretentious horses ass?
For a long time people were saying he should be skipped in favour of William because he’s such an insufferable idiot.
I recall a few years ago when Charles spoke out about dilapidated condition of many of the Crown Properties (these are rental properties owned and leased out by the royal family, not places the royals plant their own personal butts) admitting that the royals were the biggest slumlords in Britain. Queenie told him to shut up and count the money.He's better than some give him credit for — I'm thinking things like his environmental activism. As it stands, I look at it this way... even if his mother passed away overnight, we might not have King Charles as long as we would King William.

It feels like we're edging closer and closer to royals who aren't enamored with the concept. Prince Harry clearly, but even Prince Charles is much more a product of the modern world than the Queen. Not necessarily the end of the monarchy at this rate, but it could be less officious and pretentious than it has been.
