It’s interesting to see all these articles and videos about people trying to figure out the date and how excited England-and probably the whole World is about the wedding.I guess it’s because we all need to see something that’s as close to a fairytale as possible-God knows,we need it…Whatever the actual date may be,I wish them a real happy ending,and hope it ends up nothing like Diana and Charles’ famous fairytale wedding…

I saw the clip on E last night just everyone seems to be getting excited and guessing.They didn’t have much to say other than when??

Hey guys, I’m not sure if this was posted last week (but it probably was cause everyone is awesome at finding docs and such), but the CBC had a documentary on the RF (After Elizabeth; a lot of people were posting about it last week):

Good Night All,

The President & Mrs.Obama welcomed the PM of India and everyone looked beautiful.

Forgot to include video footage of the dinner:

Go Keith.

Here is Ingrid Sewards December’s editors letter:

http://www.majestymagazine.com/editors_letter.php

I’m glad she acknowledge Harry’s relationship with Chelsy. I hope it will last.

Good Night.

I am kinda of surprised and a little disappointed that Ingrid is reporting unofficial stuff like this. I felt the same way when she wrote about the Uncle Gary junk. JJ,I don’t know what she means by the last comment. Hopefully Ingrid is not being drawn into all this royal gossip because that would be a shame,IMO.

I look forward to the next W/K sighting. Hopefully it comes soon so we can hear a little less negative speculation about the state of the relationship.

Have a good day guys and for those of you in America, Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning,

I think Ingrid meant that Kate is seen more at royal society events and due to that she is getting the media’s attention. Chelsy haven’t been seen at any society events this year so I think she meant that Chelsy wants to remain in the background.

I really don’t think we see Kate enough in my opinion. Except at the polo field and wedding, we haven’t seen much of her. The charity film premiere was a very casual event so there wasn’t much special about that. I hope we get a chance to see more of Kate next year.

“Love Stockholm 2010″

Two weeks love celebrations for Victoria and Daniel next June:

I fear there won’t be “Love London” for long time.

Hi sorry for asking but whos ingred?

Galeisha,

Ingrid Seward is the editor of Majesty Mag.

As for Chelsy, she hasn’t been invited to royal events. I wonder if the next headline shall be Kate invited to Sandringham for Christmas, meanwhile, Seward is kind enough to cover the backs of the royals because I doubt Chelsy will receive an invite.

Hale, from what I just read I think PM Brown will push this reform this weekend. I wonder what’s going to happen?

Hale and Rman,

yes, this has been going on for a while — I have actually been following the debate with interest. I was reacting to was the DMs idea that the changes were out of concern about a future heir — when this is clearly not the case, but rather a bald attempt at plugging the whole “engagement is imminent” story.

I don’t know but I remember early this year Lord Jeffrey Archer did say that this is coming up because it’s known that William will get married in the near future and they wanted to get this settled. So who knows maybe PM Brown will bring this up.

I personally think the royal family is fine with the way things are.

I think that this is an important issue especially to avoid a situation like the Swedish Royal family where the King was rumored to have been very resentful with Carl Philip was stripped of his right to the throne when the male succession laws were abolished. There was “supposedly” a lot of rumors about Victoria being put under pressure by her father to give up her right to be Queen and let Carl Philip again take his place as the heir to the throne.

After Charles and Camilla the last thing the British monarchy needs is a drama over who is going to inherit the throne.. I do happen to think the law is out dated and whoever is born first should reign… JMO

If it passes, there is no mention that it will be retroactive. So it would be with PW children.

Ah pink

Anybody got pics of queens visit to bermuda? i got brown.

As for the new law – I also think this is important. The RF cannot afford another drama about the succession to the throne. They will lose all the respect from the British people.
I sometimes feel a bit sorry for Crown Princess Victoria. She must be under immense (!) pressure to do a good job as a crown princess, just to prove her father that she is a worthy heir to the throne. Probably this is why she seems to work her b**t off – all these internships in the different European countries, and this year she finished a BA in French (besides her work). The British Princes are not the only ones that have a lot on their shoulders.

I totally agree with Katherine. It’s absolutely ridiculous!

Sojourner your post at #27

That’s a great post because you have now put into my head why this story has come up and it isn’t because of imminent engagement, rather MP’s possibly being charged over expense scandal, plus we currently have an enquiry into Iraq.

In other words its possible our PM is trying to divert attention.

Galeisha :laugh: The time …. I always wondered is that American or Australian time displayed by the date.

I think the time displayed is always local.

IF, the law would be applied to his children

Hi Galeisha, in the links that I provided for you just type in Queen Elizabeth in the search bars and you will see the pictures.

I really don’t know what the British government will do about the line of succession but they know that William is of age and at some point he will get married and have children so they may want to deal with this soon. I think the first born should be the future Monarch, no matter if it’s a boy or girl. I think Catholics should be able to marry into the royal family.

IMO, it will be changed and updated much the same way it has been in some Scandinavian countries already. However, I don’t think it will happen just yet, but after the General Election.

When it does become law, what has to be addressed is the Defender of the Faith title.

The Defender of the Faith was awarded ironically to Henry VIII by the Pope, when he wrote a book against Protestantism. When England broke from Rome, Henry made himself head of the Church of England. The Pope rescinded the award, but the COE awarded it to England.

Since then all Monarchs of England are Head of the Church. If then any of them marry Catholics, or become Catholics how can they remain head of the COE. I daresay they shall address this when they do eventually reform these acts.

Although I do recall PC saying in his Dimbleby interview years ago, “Why not Defender of the Faiths?” Faiths being plural. Unfortunately, this interview is only now remembered for one thing and that was for admitting adultery.

Ok I googled it and it looks like to be honest a position which an Australian should take up any way? Why are PW and PH interested in this position?

The Commonwealth is the “successor” of the former British Empire. It is said that several countries want to leave the Commonwealth, South Africa, Canada, Australia, India. It is a part of a past – they do not think it is appropriate anymore.

Sorry I said rule Britain does not rule over Australia but I don’t necessarily think that the common wealth is the right way forward to the future… JMO

I was under the impression that they do not wish to leave the Commonwealth, but they do want Independence and to cut their ties with the monarchy.

The Commonwealth represents easier trading ties.
