that's no age Bobbi, to lose your mum.

[ummmm]

I really like the Royal family but I don't think they understand what being a parent is. We don't have staff.

Love Charles though.

Ok ok thanks em.

[burlyshirley]

^ I meant 'Oh ok' ..

[emmie]

i bet they do, going on all the footage of them with the family, yes one would expect them to have staff, comes with the job.

[emmie]

its ok shirley...

Bobbi // you can be anti Royal and that’s your prerogative but what I saw on here yesterday was sickening,//

I totally agree. Prince Phillip may have been born into a privileged life , hardly his choice, but he has given his whole adult life working tirelessly beside the Queen. He set up the Duke of Edinburgh awards and was hand on, visiting many young people and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone to try new things.
Some on here denigrating him should take a leaf out of his book in my opinion.

It was quite a shock Emmie, she was taken into hospital Bon Sunday morning and she’d gone by Sunday tea time , she had a rare blood group and was bleeding heavily internally with some kind of infection, that day is a blur

[emmie]

totally agree APG, he worked tirelessly and stood by The Queen for all these years a quite remarkable man

Of course grieving is a respected and natural response in the event of a death and appreciated by all.
HOWEVER, there are some people, the minority i must say who just cannot grieve in the well recognised method highlighted on AB.
These people are not odd, uncaring or perverted in any way, they just tend to be complicated psychological characters who find it just as difficult to understand the grieving as you find it to understand their apparent apathy.
A bit of give and take here for variations of emotional responses brought about by different psychological make up.

Err sorry Sqad don't agree, some on here are just nasty and bitter and love to make waves with their comments.

[emmie]

sqad, or they could just be anti royalists, there are plenty of those about.

[Bobbisox1]

And, say nothing at all instead of bile?

[emmie]

anyway i will watch the news later on to see if the service was televised this morning.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Sqad, there is a huge difference between showing indifference towards the death of someone ,and making disparaging comments about their character and life.

[anneasquith]

Fran and Anna are on the ball today . :-)

[calmck]

Think the service will be on the Cathedral website. No mention of tv coverage

[emmie]

In truth I have no issue with any royalty alive or dead. I have observed some nasty comments about Philip on this site following his death. None from me, because I’m not interested .
