Queen of the World
I still think that this is a very strange title for the programme. Even if the British Empire still existed, she would not be queen of everywhere. It makes me think of the King of the World scene in Titanic... is the royal ship about to sink? Queen of the World or Regina Mundi in Latin appears quite often as a name for cathedrals or religious schools - for example, Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral in Montreal. Apart from that, I can't think of much else with this title aside from the Marian connotations. I agree though, it's a curious title.

As in, she's their royal monarch in the system, the queen of the world, as deigned by them. This does not mean that she's the overall leader; merely the role she has been filling.
My take on it.

Really? Sometimes fiction does become fact. It is only too likely that Meghan has her eyes on the Crown. There are people who are never satisfied and are always looking for the next step up. If William became discredited... Did you see the Scarlet Overkill posts on the Sussex thread? Maybe this was some sort of secret plan, that they wanted to alter the Windsor bloodline for some reason? Just idle speculation, here.
No, I'll check it out.

Tonight’s the night
What effect will Queen of the World have on our perceptions of the royals?
The royal façade is disappearing; it is crumbling and becoming transparent.
While insiders are coming out and revealing things that the royal family would prefer to keep hidden and outsiders are publishing the damning results of their researches, it seems to me that the royals are their own worst enemies. They are turning many of us into anti-monarchists.
We have stopped looking at the impressive figures on the big screen and turned our attention to the less than impressive people behind the curtain.
The latest news about the Sussexes going to a party in Amsterdam for the opening of a new branch of Soho House is not doing them any favours.

2018 is the deciding year. Alot is happening. The current queens children moving out of Buckpalace to St James palace fortress ———————————- Andrew, Edward and Anne have had their offices and Appartments at Buckpalace. Charles wants to turn the palace during his reign to a museum, rental events rooms, public visitors will be able to view year long. Charles wants to keep his court at clarence house. His brothers and sister at nearby St. James palace. There will be three courts during his reign. Clarence, Kensington and St.James. This is how power is moving slowly away from Buckpalace. The queen and Philip have a right to live in Buckpalace until death. They will enjoy their last hours there. www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/737555/Princess-Anne-Prince-Andrew-Edward-Queen-Buckingham-Palace-royal-family-news

State visit
I saw something of the procession back to Buckingham Palace yesterday. The spectators were mainly tourists. The horses and coaches were the big attraction for me. Pageantry is about all the monarchy has to offer these days. The security bill for this event must have been huge. Seeing one man have trouble with his horse was more interesting than catching a glimpse of the royals as they went past. They are over-exposed in the media and we have seen it all before. The reports from the Oceania tour are turning me into a republican.

Prince Regent —————— In three years the queen will turn 95 years. She plans to hand more powers to Prince Charles . Charles shall act as Prince Regent not fully king. The queen intends to die on the throne as she promised to serve the crown all her life. Prince William shall become prince of Wales. ———————- Royal Ambassador —————————- There many ambassadors representing their countries abroad. However none of them is Royal. Until now. Prince Harry tour of Oceanic has been considered successfull. Therefore a new role is being prepared for him a Royal Ambassador or Ambassador Royale. His role will be spreading good will , hugging kids, attending banquets and such and foreign ministry closings trade deals. www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1037496/royal-family-news-prince-harry-prince-william-meghan-markle-baby-kensington-palaceAngela Merkel She will give up her Kanzler position in three years. Brexit ———— Full brexit will kick in in 3years NWO in 3 years?

Will Camilla ever be Queen?
The Queen may be around for a while yet, and although she is off-loading many duties onto Prince Charles he will not be king while she is still alive. There is speculation that she might abdicate when she is 95 but this seems unlikely. What Camilla’s title would be if Prince Charles came to the throne is still uncertain. Many people would not accept her as a full queen consort. She comes across as being kind, but has another side. If she really wants to be Queen Camilla, Prince Charles will probably give in to her demands:

Camilla, queen of hats and cake
From Lavendel : “ I didn’t want to miss camila head putting itself in flower pots and eating every cake offered.” This is really funny; it made me realize how many pictures of Camilla show huge hats and/or her scoffing food and drink. There used to be a rule that the royals were never to be photographed eating. How things have changed. Two very typical pictures: Camilla loves ice cream too. The Queen would never be seen getting ice cream all over herself in public!

I noticed she always makes a curve to the food at events He must have sent a message ahead to Ghana that they should bake cake. But they went over board and backef a big brown torte which overwhelmed Camila today she didn’t accompany Charles to Morning Church service ad the express daily reported.

Just one Afternoon at cork island English market —————— camila left no wine untested, cake uneaten, at some point charles had to pull her off discreetly . When she becomes queen, i guess she will order a big cake to kickstart her long reign Good old queen looked at the fish afar while visiting same market

Long Reign the Crazy pair ———- The love dancing after eating cake and drinking wine. I always thought they never follow any protocol and the press does not care but they are more crazy than cambridges and Sussexes. [ br]Normally after getting drunk at an event they fight on the way home and camila goes to her home and Charles to his highgroove to tend to midnight flowers , talk to louis Mountbatten and sing for queen mum. Reminds me of Edward and Wallis. The drunk themselves at events an took off without paying. I guess charles promises them a gong instead of paying from drinks ——————

"He must have sent a message ahead to Ghana that they should bake cake.

Lavendel the people who believe that Germans have no sense of humour are very wrong! Some of your posts are hilarious. I do my best but I can't compete with this sort of thing, one of your very best: “ I didn’t want to miss camila head putting itself in flower pots and eating every cake offered.”

Camilla: our next leading lady?
“Charles is unlikely to be king at this point, due to his marriage to Camilla. They might improve if she divorced him, or was to die, mind you.” Avacyn it seems that we now have a de facto next king and equivalent of queen. It is like the heating of the water very slowly. The Queen has been gradually handing over and passing down various duties. C & C are in the right position. They are the next in line by default, even if she does not get the title of Queen. A while back it was certainly true that, “People will never accept Camilla as queen.” Standards have since been so eroded that I don’t think that many people care very much now. Meghan has come up from below and made others look good in comparison. Camilla’s clothes are certainly more stylish, regal and suitable for the position and the occasion than Meghan’s are. I really like this green hat:

I do my best but I can't compete with this sort of thing, one of your very best: “ I didn’t want to miss camila head putting itself in flower pots and eating every cake offered.” 😀 UnseenI, camila and Charles inspire humor out of me. Germans are funny in their own hidden way mostly if they feel relaxed. I think you have the best humor though and many people here think the British humor is unmatched. Camila and Charles remind me of typical german pensioners who have nothing to loose and have fun and sometimes abit crafty but always up to something naughty. The pensioners here love flowers, cakes and going to market towns for a glass of wine. Thats why after the queen passes and the sadness of it , brexit etc a comical couple will lighten up our moods. They queen has been around for ages and its nice a quite and smooth transition is taking place and people won’t have a deep shock. If the queen had to give over to William and kate, people would go into deep depression for years. I feel energetically the cambridges just take and give nothing . Comedy is benefiting alot from Charles and Camilla. I watch the windsors and tracy ullman just them. The cambridges would kill comedy. Thank god we have the König Drosselbart, lavender-markle-Mountbatten Windsor family and the Markles lined up to give us comedy after Charles and Camilla are gone. I have to tell you honestly i dread the reigh of cambridges! It will be full of formality, hidden pictures, depressed press, clean cut press conferences. I really wish them well and still hope there is another side of them we will see. With them we have no fantasies or dreams of unexpected or such. Every thing is predictable . Alittle like the queen has been protecter of the heritage but she was no Victoria or Elizabeth l . Still she us stewarded the country during a crazy century.

Sidelined in the succession order?
Not much chance we will see King Henry and Queen Meghan now: Princes Charles and William look secure in their positions. It is very understandable why Prince Philip should be absent, but I wonder why Princess Michael of Kent wasn’t there with Prince Michael.

This is the birds view of the royals. I think the idea behind this arrangement is to cover for philip and single andrew. I think this a balanced arrangement so charles can be the queen partner without leaving camila out and andrew partners with camila so there is no void. After andrew is the next row harry , then Edward and then Anne. In between they create emergency passage between the couples. Behind anne are the cousins. They came with the wives but they stood inside and duke of Gloucester came with his wife and stood elsewhere behind Harry Sidelined in the succession order?

A blast from the past
A poster on the old CC forum had this to say in a discussion about the royal family:
"And there is squabbling over succession in that family, and I'm telling you, and you can hold me to this, it will get very bad. I happen to know very weird things in that particular area of family arguments have been going awry lately and it will only get worse until Harry is pressured to the point of breaking."
These words now seem prophetic.

BoJo could still be the next monarch
He can play the ice cream game just as well as Camilla can: He is a cake man too: Since yesterday bojo has lost his patience. He has given may an ultimatum otherwise there will be. Mutiny. However don’t forget UnseenI Bojo was born in Newyork. If he will be prime minster we can be sure lavender blue green markle-Mountbatten-windsor will get an American name squeezed . Then we will have an American prime minister, an American foreign and commonwealth ambassadors harry and meg. Then trump visit will be for a week. He loves bojo. Doria is moving to uk and michelle obama is camping at the clooneys berkishire home. Is Cotswolds the little Americano now? Imagine bojo as prime minister, crazy Cornwalls a king and queen, then harry as commonwealth foreign ambassador. Will UK stomach all these changes?

These words now seem prophetic. It's like a civil war is brewing in the family.
I suspect that there is a shortage of adrenochrome now, because there is an increase of Child trafficking busts. They are likely rationing the dwindling supply, and those who are older are really feeling the effects now. Hence the decline in the Queeen and Phillip. They are losing what was sustaining them...

Avacyn as I see it there is 'food and fuel' just in the attention they get. People build them up and hold them up by what they project upon them. When many people withdraw their worship, the royals start to diminish.

J. K. Rowling for President?
BoJo has a rival for the top job. J. K. Rowling has been proposed as a future head of state by a republican who admires the Queen. From 2013: “She gamely took part in the Olympics Opening Ceremony, pretending to leap out of a plane and land in the middle of the festivities. He praised her for her wonderful sense of humour and down to earth attitude. But it would appear that despite this, director Danny Boyle still thinks the Queen should not head of state - and calls for an elected figure instead. The Oscar-winning director and creator of the dazzling ceremony suggested that JK Rowling would be a successor, the Guardian reported. In an interview he calls for a republic, saying that a US-style elected head is inevitable and he thinks that the royal family will be abolished in his lifetime.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2290656/Replace-Queen-JK-Rowling-Director-Danny-Boyle-calls-elected-head-state-does-praise-Olympics-cameo.htmlThey have met several times. Are there any clues to some handover arrangement here?
