There is no law stating that the King and members of the Royal family cannot vote, but the Royal Family do not vote by convention, given their duty to be impartial.

I am wondering: did the secret service, "cleaned" the seats of the tube, classes at the pub etc (DNA protection)
Neither wore gloves...
When, he was at Sandhurst and he popped in at the local, here in Camberley, the protection officers took all the beer glasses with them, when they were done. Mind you Harry was around too...
In the other hand, there is no DNA protection for Sophie or Edward or Louise... everybody knew Louise, their daughter, lovely girl, she was working at a garden Center nearby.

Princess Anne allegedly is not happy with Camilla and her going as Queen
Quote:
David Emanuel said the Princess Royal reportedly told Camilla “you’re not Queen, you’re the Queen Consort” during the dinner with members of the Royal Family.

Coronation Medal for NHS staff. I imagine they would prefer an extra £ or 2 an hour though but that is a whole different topic. Soldiers and other emergency services also to recieve it

Re: Charlie Farley
OK let’s show some royal respect and keep this thread on topic. I’ve split the voter ID stuff out into its own topic.

Re: Charlie Farley
Record the wretched thing!
It’s this pandering to “multicultural” that bothers me. He should be standing up for British culture.

How would you define British culture?

I knew that dumb Hugh type question would come. I’d define it like any other reasonable Brit would.
There’s no need to pander to other cultures in the UK.

A politician’s non-answer. Unsurprising I guess.
I’m not interested in what your opinion of ‘other reasonable Brits’ is. I would like you - yourself, and in your own words - to define British culture, because you stated, specifically, that Charlie should stand up for it.
So please, tell us, what exactly should he be standing up for?

Re: Charlie Farley
Interesting bit of history here (well I found it interesting anyway)
Apparently if you trace back through the family tree of Princess Diana you can find she descended from not one but two sons of Charles II. He had many mistresses no legitimate children and gave a lot of them Dukedoms and Earldoms
This means when William becomes King he will be directly descended from Charles II making him not only a Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Windsor) King but also a Stewart King

Re: Charlie Farley
I’d rather tell you what Charlie should not be doing. He should not pander to other cultures. He should herald British values, traditions, history and so on.
There is no need for me to be definitive about British culture, which I have explained before in terms of our sense of humour, tolerance, inventiveness and so on - values which one or two other cultures lack and which threaten our culture.
There’s no need to vexatiously pin me down on a definition of British culture; Brits know in the back of their heads what our culture is.

That’s impressive - two fallacies in one short post.
Ad Hominem and Petitio Principii - well done, you…

A sort of Scottish/Kraut blend? And yes - interesting indeed.

I don’t know if it’s possible to wear out a dog whistle but you may find out if you keep this up.
