Feeling rather sorry for The Queen

I don't feel sorry for her. I'm only 51 and can't walk to the kettle! I'm sure if she was in the same position she would be soon sorted out, but no, me, I have to suffer, like I have for years now. I wish I could walk about like she does. It's a joke. So no, excuse me for not gushing over the supremely rich and priviliged of this country.

Thank you Jingle,

1956 Philip was away on a tour of the Commonwealth

Can't recall the year but the press didn't hold back on a problem in the marriage, Phillip did a very long overseas tour and was away over the Christmas that year , it was strange a Royal working over Christmas . I am sure our keen googlers here will find the year. There was the long affair with an actress Pat Kirkwood too

MargaretX did you only go out with him once - you could have found out all sorts of things if you'd stuck with him!!

No, I don't feel sorry for her, and I doubt that she would want any of us to either

But at least any other 90 year old can sit with their feet up in comfort watching her on the telly!

A pointless bra? Is it just me...?

No, Ana, I was thinking along the lines of Madonna - or not!

I went out with newspaper man once and he said the had so much stuff about Phillip that they coudn't print. That was in the good old days before Rupert Murdoch. Somebody in Rome I think.
I don't feel sorry for the Queen: she has so many people looking after her when I think of the thousands of lonely 90 year olds in the UK

So if I read about some poor fellow found on Dartmoor in his slippers I shall know who to blame?

! (I think)

Well....!

That's about the ten tors!

A pointless bra? Is it just me...?

Bit unfair on Hilary too. I'm sure she wants to be President for more reasons than just being the first woman one.

The bit about taking one's old man out onto the Ten Tors in just his slippers and leaving him there, was quite interesting though.

Ooh! That article seems to be predicting the end of the monarchy and some of our best traditions. I don't like it. And all that 'happy but sad' stuff is a bit miserable.

Sorry merlot.

I'm not surprised maggie I thought at the time that £1500 was excessive. I fancy being fitted by them. Trouble is just one bra seems a bit pointless.

Whitewave, Rigby and Peller bras start at about £40. I only know because getting a fitting and a bra from them was on my 60 things to do before I'm 60 list. This is now my 65 things to do before I'm 65 list. Eventually it'll be 95 things....and my boobs will be beyond saving even by R & P

I'm no Katie Hopkins fan but I can really relate to this article.

I think he's a really nice bloke. Anything else is their business.

The rumours of his alleged dalliances when he was young and struggling with his role as Royal eunuch (his words) have been well documented but never proven - as far as I know.

Oh! Well-documented - where's the proof Linsco56? Do you have inside knowledge (perhaps those letters they send to one another along the corridor?)

My DH was in hospital with an ex-Daily Mail editor - poor man is now dead - who told a lot of stories about the Duke. Not sure they were all true, but I do believe the nights of riotous drinking were probably true.

Yes! a serial philanderer, well documented. I don't dispute that he's been a great support to her but fact is fact.
