I was thinking that should the media be a bit slow in referring to Camilla as simply ‘The Queen’, I think he’ll start doing so. I also think he’ll do something to see him referred to as ‘ Defender of Faiths’, rather than ‘the faith’. I was also wondering how Christmas will look without the Queen, as I think she was the one who wanted them all at Sandringham. Will the Sussexes be invited? Andrew? The Middletons? Camilla’s family? Strange how my mind works when I can’t sleep!
It was posts by Paul Burrell that I saw on Facebook. I have no idea whether he had first-hand knowledge, made them up, or copied them from someone else. Many of his assertions are old hat (old inventions dug up again because Charles is now King and there is an interest is such gossip?) but he is definitely circulating them.
Reporting answering a query from another poster, how very strange!. Obviously A sore subject so don't worry the skeleton won't be mentioned again, at least not by me.
My query was from *SueDonims post about Paddyann taking the "royal shilling".
If Burrell confirmed it then it must be true , he did say Diana said he was the only man she ever trusted, in a recent documentary he said he was Diana’s friend, and he said at the inquest he had a private meeting with a Catholic priest re a secret marriage between Diana and Hasnet Khan, unusual an Anglican and a Muslim being married by a Catholic Priest
Why would a security guard of Edward and Sophie asked if he could run with them ? Do security guards asked the person they are paid to guard ask ‘May I come with you?’
I don't know why everyone is blaming Burrell for these stories, they originated in Royal Biographer Brian Hoey's book " Not in front of The Corgis" The documentary in 2015 featuring some of his ex -staff plus Burrell confirmed what was in the book.

I don't see anything wrong with Paddyanne doing paid work for the Royals. Why on earth not?? And that's not "taking the Kings shilling". And why would Grany lie? She doesn't need to .
I didn't say Grany lied.
However, the woman she sat next to on a train may have been lying exaggerating somewhat. I doubt that security people would discuss conversations with their (gossipy) mothers.

Grany was surely only repeating what she was told, though I must say, I hae ma doots! My mother always said, “ I know not what the truth may be, I tell the tale as told to me”.
