How cute was little Prince George after they came out of the church? Going for his own little walkabout because "this is *boring, Mummy" and then getting Daddy to carry him home. Oh I am a sentimental old softie!

Poor little chap. He will be so embarrassed by the photos when he is older.it would be different if he were wearing the actual outfit that William wore which was altogether nicer and a much better fit.

George looked gorgeous and seems to have a look of Michael Middleton about him facially. Loved the pram too.

Do stop not picking on the royals ! No one gets it right all the time, they are in press and TV so often just now, I think they d o a very good job of looking good but not over the top!
God bless them all, especially our queen give her strength to live to a hundred like her mum !!!
And will to follow as king, he shows more sense than his father!
Also who wants a .... For a queen if Charles mounts the throne ???

greatmum Mon 13-Jul-15 18:56:45

OK it changed what I wrote, should have read
stop nit picking !

hmm

I'm sure your first sentence is a mistake, greatmum, but whatever your opinion of Camilla she will not be a queen, her title will be Princess Consort if and when Charles becomes King.

merlotgran Mon 13-Jul-15 19:08:23

William has made it perfectly clear he does not want to take on full time Royal duties until he absolutely has to.

Shows more sense than his father? What a silly statement.

Whatever title Camilla assumes she will be a valuable support to Charles.

Actually we did stop. On Thursday. hmm

Anniebach Mon 13-Jul-15 19:22:28

Camilla will make a good queen consort , she is aware of what consort means unlike wife no 1

Anniebach Mon 13-Jul-15 19:25:46

I think it wrong that Camilla may be denied her correct title when her husband becomes king , rather like saying a second wife has no right to be called Mrs ?

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 13-Jul-15 19:29:01

Yes. That's true. But it might not happen. The public have warmed to Camilla a lot.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 13-Jul-15 19:29:43

And anyway. It shouldn't be up to the public.

merlotgran Mon 13-Jul-15 19:32:54

I think Camilla should be Queen consort like the Queen Mum was to George VI

She's served her apprenticeship and passed with flying colours IMO

Anniebach Mon 13-Jul-15 19:33:11

If they listened to the public the queen would have abdicated the week her ex daughter in law died Camilla for queen consort I say

Leticia Tue 14-Jul-15 06:50:34

You must be thinking of a different public to me!

Anniebach Tue 14-Jul-15 09:39:28

No idea who you are thinking of Leticia, I am speaking of the public who made brutal demands on a woman at a time when she and her family were struggling with grief. Who can forget those ridiculous headlines - your country needs you- no idea what for

Leticia Tue 14-Jul-15 16:20:29

I think that we are taking at cross purposes and I misunderstood your post.
I don't think that she should abdicate.
I hate the way that you can't grieve in private these days- apparently you are not grieving unless you show it!

Anniebach Tue 14-Jul-15 16:27:08

I agree Leticia, I was shocked at the demands made and criticism of the queen at that time. I don't think the queen should abdicate, should illness befall her Charles can become Prince Regent and the queen remain Queen, I am not a royalist or a republican
