William, Kate And Children

[naomi24]

Having watched them throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, I think they are a credit to our nation. What say you?

[naomi24]

No, tantp, I typed mentality because that's what I meant. As I see it the royals are becoming more accessible than ever before and they're interacting more than ever before. They are not remote figures seen only on special occasions as they once were. William and Kate and their children were very visible during lockdown - speaking to people by video link - standing outside applauding the NHS with the rest of the nation - and publishing images of the family doing family things - all of which, I think, had a positive impact on the public and did much to boost morale at a time when it was very much needed.

The 'German' argument is superfluous, silly - and actually rather bitter.

[TantP]

The German reference is fact, no bitterness, why would there be? I could be German for all you know lol!

I would be more inclined to believe this 'openness' in the Royal Family is more to do with a genuine change, rather than a very successful PR campaign , if they abolished obeisance.

[naomi24]

tantp. Your mention of any foreign nationality would have sounded bitter - not just German - the mere fact that you consider them 'foreign'.

I understood you to be French Canadian.

[TantP]

I did not use the word Foreign when describing the Royal Family. Please try not to misquote to suit your argument, its a rookie mistake when debating.

My Heritage and Nationality has little to do with my opinions.

HRH The Queen is Queen of Canada by the way lol!

[naomi24]

tantp, I didn't misquote you. Which bit of my post didn't you understand?

[TantP]

I understood every part of your post, especially the bits you misquoted. Now you may be bored, but I've got things to do so 'Toodles' enjoy the rest of your day on AB. ;-)

[naomi24]

Bye bye. :o)

Naomi making frenz again
Hey - who was the short sighted crazy who wondered if Lili looked like Doria?
I have a further question
Doesnt Prince Andrew look like Count Dracula ?
He has that awful sucky look about him
up to no good I daresay

//who was the short sighted crazy who wondered if Lili looked like Doria?//

I didn't 'wonder' about it, PP - I looked beyond Doria's ethnicity and the colour of her skin. Try it - it you can.

[mallyh]

i thought Zara and Mike really threw themselves into it and their little girl dancing to ABBA at the end was great x

[naomi24]

They seems a nice couple too, mally. I laughed at Zara poking little Louis with her flag when he was playing up.
