His Basset Hound brand of tone-deaf, über-toff lugubriousness is not what’s needed these days: I don't find Kate to be the slightest bit sexy. Far too skinny. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear she is anorexic. If the rumours about Will's infidelity are true it appears he no longer finds her sexy either. I think the Sussexes will still be in love long after the Waleses marriage is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, but I can't help thinking that if you can get her undressed and put her in the proper lingerie on the proper bed and in the proper position, something might come out of it.?

-TSS- Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 If it took something like 10 minutes to queue to see the coffin it would make sense but 10 hours queueing to spend only few seconds to see the coffin sounds absolutely not a sensible thing to do at all. Yet there are tens of thousands of people who do just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t the whole story, because she basked in the attention and enjoyed huge accolades but also lived a pretty charmed life. She seemed like a good person who deserved better treatment from her husband, but I don’t think she was Mother Theresa. It’s a sad story, a tragic death and a terrible loss for her boys. We’ll never know what really happened in that relationship, but something tells me there was plenty of blame to go around. She had the spotlight over Charles. Not sure how much it was taken versus given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come around to her simply because of the power she wielded ultimate power and she chose to do good with it she never did any evil that I can remember she took her charmed life, and then went amongst the people, to comfort them 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet there are tens of thousands of people who do just that. Over 750,000 at the last count. It's more to do with participation than adoration though. ''I just felt I had to be here at this moment in history'' With the BBC streaming it live nonstop since the lying in state began it's the ultimate ''selfie''. Your own high res' clip of you bowing to the box to keep for all posterity. Even in death Her Majesty is fulfilling her duty as a tourist magnet. God bless her. London is going to be sold out for the Coronation within hours of its date being announced. There's probably money to be made gambling on the date and booking rooms now. Book a whole week and sell it off to some rich American two weeks before the day at 10 x the cost.
