I think she's a determined strong woman with amazing willpower.

However, I agree with you mostly, plus she has lost her rock at her side this year in Prince Philip.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert tonight will see the Royal Albert Hall covered in blue and yellow lights to create an image of Ukraines flag as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays the country’s National Anthem.

Hosted by the BBC’s Sophie Raworth, it will feature music performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, conducted by Mike Dixon.
Works by Great British composers including Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten and William Walton will take centre stage, with a focus on music played at Her Majesty’s 1953 Coronation and other key moments of the Queen’s reign.
With 124 visits to the Hall during her lifetime, this event holds particular poignancy.

Special guests will recount their experiences of meeting the Monarch as the nation celebrates this special anniversary in our nation’s history.
The event is in support of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, which is proud to present this momentous evening in celebration of its Royal Patron.

I expect a grovelling apology was made, from Liz that is.

[Toy Soldier]

My question would be why the sudden secret visit. I honestly suspect the Queen might not have long left... strikes me as a "we need to go and see her now or we might miss the chance" visit.

I'm not sure if I beleive that one yet - it could be their PR spin like the previous
'Lilibet To Be Christened at Windsor'!! and 'Grandpa Charles Daily Zoom calls to See His Beloved Grandkids'! or 'Harry and Meghan to Present Best Picture Award at Oscars'!! etc.

Surely they aren't worming their way back in to that awful racist family who left them so desitute of cash they were forced to take Netflix and Spotify deals?
Surely they aren't failing so badly reputation wise (and possibly financially) that they need to be SEEN with those awful Royals to boost their popularity and commercial projects?

Or is our Queen so canny that she is being remarkably forgiving, therefore making sure they never say another bad word about her 70 year making of the institution she is head of and his future book isn't going to be full of more scathing lies, whining and cries of perpetual victimhood?
Will Harry and Meghan become good celebs/royal friendly and free us forever from their awfulness? :fc: :hehe:

Intriguing stuff....:idc:

[bots]

the queen is nearly 96. She will want a united family for the june event. We also know she has plans for Andrew to attend so its not just H & M

After all the years of service the queen has put in. To me its only right, that the family put a brave smile on things for 4 days

Or maybe, just maybe, the Queen meant what she said in one of the statements released that Harry and Meghan remain loved members of the family and she just wants them all with her :hmm:

Maybe, there is things that go on in that family that we are not privy to and some of the "sources" that leak things are not always telling the truth...shock horror.

Who knows? I am sure the Queen will love to have her whole family around her at the time and that is more important than any motive any of them may have for being there. Its her show after all

[bots]

i think the press is responsible for creating a rift and perpetuating it. It sells. The queen has been around to long to harbour grudges, and lets face it Charles is no spring chicken either. Charles will have a bigger beef with Andrew than he would ever have with his son

Totally diagreee. Harry and Meghan created the rift and have perpetuated it throughout. For a start the press didn't force them to go on Oprah.

I think the penny has dropped that it’s far easier to do the minimum of Royal engagements with pre arranged press than it is to produce the amount of content Spotify require or have to put up with a camera trailing you everywhere recording your every move, cap in hand to Liz they have gone and they seem to want Charles to reinstate them as part time royals once Liz passes

According to Lady Colin Campbell re H&M’s visit to the Queen- nothing of substance was discussed, it wasn’t an ‘olive branch’ meeting, polite conversation was made. The meeting with Charles (and Camilla halfway through) was very brief and distinctly chilly.

I wonder....LC does have good contacts, she often turns out to be correct, and her video is available on youtube if anyone wants to hear more (I haven’t listened myself yet, I just heard the gist of her remarks.)

It does seem to me that H&M are realizing they need to be back in favour with the Royals for their brand to succeed, because they need to be seen to have a proper, ongoing connection to them. It is really all they have going for them, success - wise. On their own, they haven't done anything of note at all and have needed a lot of outside help brought in to produce what little has been forthcoming from them for Netflix and Spotify.

[jet]

Evidence?

You want evidence for an opinion now? :umm2:

[Glenn.]

Maybe people need to stop posting their opinions as facts

[Cherie]

You want evidence for an opinion now? :umm2:

I need evidence as to why TS needs evidence :D:


Umm the evidence is they wanted to be part time Royals when they originally announced they were leaving but Liz put a stop to that

[bots]

truth be told, the royal family need members who are media savvy in this day and age and from what i've seen H & M are the only ones with half a clue how to present themselves on that stage. So it may be that many existing senior members don't like it, but they would be much better placed to have M & H onside, than fighting against them. To be blunt, the senior royals need to suck it up and move with the times

Prince Harry has said he paid a visit to the Queen last week to make sure his grandmother was “protected” and “had the right people around her”, in his first full interview in over a year.

The Duke and wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, visited the Queen in Windsor on Thursday, marking the first time both have returned to the UK since they stepped back from Royal duties two years ago.

“Being with her was great. It was so nice to see her,” the Duke of Sussex told NBC News, which released a preview of a longer interview set to air on Wednesday.

“Both Meghan and I had tea with her. She was on great form, she always has a great sense of humour.

“I’m just making sure she is protected and got the right people around her,” he added.

Right

i think that was a not very subtle reference to andrew and the fact he took centre stage at the memorial, which could have been completely different if he had chosen to attend

yeah, if he was really concerned he wouldnt be on the other side of the world. Simple as that

I don't think it's particularly fair to suggest that people who don't shape their lives around living close to their elderly grandparents "aren't concerned about them". That judgement would apply to many, many people... not just Royals.

[Toy Soldier]

You want evidence for an opinion now? :umm2:

Cherie didn't say "in my opinion they want Charles to reinstate them" or "I'd guess they want Charles to reinstate them", she said "it seems that they want Charles to reinstate them"... suggesting that she had seen or read something to suggest this.

I don't want evidence of an opinion, it was framed as something that is apparent. Yes that requires evidence. If it "seems that way", what makes it seem that way?

A subtle distinction but an important one in an adult conversation :shrug:

[Toy Soldier]

BOTS didn't say "he wouldn't have been on the other side of the world instead of at the ceremony", he said "he wouldn't BE on the other side of the world" implying that he would be (permanently) located closer-by "if he was concerned" (in in turn, that anyone who is concerned about elderly relatives would endeavor to live close to them).

Maybe that's not what he meant but again highlights the need to be clearer :shrug:.

[bots]

i dont think i needed to be clearer. If Harry was so concerned by his pervy uncle being close to the queen, he could have taken positive action. He has the wealth and the time to do it. Other people living apart from elderly relatives don't tend to be in such a privileged position, so it's hardly comparable

[thesheriff443]

Harry has nothing to offer the queen his family in this country or this country.

He is a self centred cry baby who is full of sh1t

Was Harry protecting his grandmother when he called the institution she has given her life to for 70 years racist and neglectful? Did he protect her from the months of speculation and damage that interview caused to the Monarchy, all while she was watching her beloved husband fade in front of her eyes on his deathbed? The detrimental effect all that must have had on her health and well - being?
Is he protecting her by bringing out his tell all book in her Jubilee year, taking the focus off it and onto HIM.

Was he worried about her protection when he failed to turn up for her beloved husband’s memorial? NO, he was worried about HIS OWN protection.

Says hero Harry, who thinks the UK is so dangerous he was afraid to visit her, until now, when he has a money making Netflix crew on hand.

….and how will you make sure of all that Harry, in the 40 minutes you have spent with her in the 2 years you have been living on the other side of the world, in contrast to those who are HERE, her FAMILY, at her disposal and carrying on with the work of maintaining an institution she has worked her whole life for.
The family must be furious at this deliberate dig, and rightly so. What a way to ‘build bridges’. It won’t happen, because he really can’t control his bile, can he?

a 95 year old's declining health is her grandson's fault. [emoji23] you're worth your weight in gold, jet.

[jet]

Royal correspondent Robert Jobson tweeted: 'Prince Harry says on US TV he is making sure the Queen is 'protected and has the right people around her'. How so? I think you'll find that Prince Charles and Her Majesty's children and William are DOING just that and supporting the Queen, with actions - and not just words.'

And former Conservative MP David Mellor told GB News: 'On came the news about Harry saying his granny needs to be protected and I fell about. This was a real comic turn. The most best-paid comedian couldn't be funnier than that. What is the man on? Or rather what is he off?

Tibbs hot take of the day:

It wasn't only his fault, but he and Meghan have made their contribution. Her husbands imminent death, the Oprah interview and all the drama and damage it caused to the Monarchy at exactly the same time, and the Andrew scandal almost certainly would have had a detrimental effect on her health and well being.
No matter what s***y behaviour Harry or Meghan display, you never have a critical opinion of their actions but pick holes instead in members opinions in a pedantic, smartassy manner.
Extremely odd, imo.

Asked whether he felt his ‘mum’s presence’, Harry said: ‘It’s constant. It has been over the past two years, more so than ever before.

‘It’s almost as though she’s done her bit with my brother and now she’s very much helping me. She’s got him set up, and now she’s helping me set up. That’s what it feels like. He’s got his kids, I’ve got my kids.

‘The circumstances are obviously different. I feel her presence in almost everything I do, but definitely in the last two years than before without question. She’s watching over us.

Vilifying someone for their romanticised spooky feelings about their dead mum is a bit much surely Cherie? She's not actually literally doing anything for either of them and hasn't since the day she died, because she is dead, but if her memory and a bit of fiction can make someone feel better about their dead parent... maybe that's OK?

I think even moreso with this stuff above... it's like they've seen glimmers of reconciliation so they're doubling down on the front pages and headlines to stir the pot.

The rift sells papers, they've been leeching off this drama for years now, of course they don't want it to calm down. No one wants front page pics of them all out having a happy picnic together. 'tis just like when they started constantly stirring up BB drama because the "fighty" episodes got more viewers and publicity than everyone having a laugh. Same mindset really.

To be fair, when someone leaves the royal family whilst still trying to clinge on to all the benefits it creates, then of course it's in the public's interest to find out that persons plans for the celebrations.

The media aren’t making a split up that doesn’t exist.
Harry is fully aware that the media will run with everything he says and make 4 course meals out of it.
Yet he chooses to reveal info about a ‘private’ meeting with the Queen. He gives an interview that reveals the estrangement with his father and brother is still ongoing and talks about his private life. Getting a few palace directed digs in while he was at it.

He could have stuck to speaking about what he was there for - The Invictus Games. He could have the privacy he insisted he wants. All that entails is keeping his mouth shut.
Like his family do with their endeavours.

He ‘hates’ the press and he knows the score - so why?

[jet]

I think even moreso with this stuff above... it's like they've seen glimmers of reconciliation so they're doubling down on the front pages and headlines to stir the pot.



Interviewer: “Do you miss your father and your brother”?
Harry (diverting)…..umm….. “I just want to focus on these guys right now” (Invictus participants).

Goes on to say how he misses his little ones at home.

Yes, great glimmer of reconciliation quashed by…..not the press….but Harry himself. He could simply have said "Of course" and moved it along. But no.

Yes glimmers of hope - why would he lie about who he does or doesn't miss? It's also a very confronting question, he reportedly has a very complicated relationship with his father. And the question is very specific. "Do you miss them?". Not "Do you wish the relationship was better?". It's not strange to not feel like you miss a strained relationship but that doesn't mean you don't wish it wasn't like that. :shrug:.

i can't say i miss any of my relatives. I enjoy their company when we meet up, but missing them is just not a term i would consider. If you live a distance away from people and constantly missed them, you would be a mental wreck

Yes, the reading comprehension is shocking because we were discussing his words in the context of what he knows only too well the press will jump on and have a field day with and he was right.
Answering ‘Of course’ to the question would have been ‘glimmer of hope

Or refusing to discuss his private life in the first place....but then he wouldn't get headlines and column inches...

He didnt look cornered when he claimed he was checking to see she has the right people around her.... that was a deliberate insult. It was a planned interview...it gets discussed what will and will not be touched on..just like the Oprah interview. He knew exactly what he was going to say.

Harry cannot help himself...he has a massive chip on his shoulder and he wants to win and come out on top. He is trying to convince us that he is in control by implying that he is the only one looking out for the Queen....the arrogant twit fails to see that both he and Andrew have given her nothing but grief over the last few years...and Harry has not been there for her when he could have been.
He talks about their private meetings which are clearly no longer private...he talks about them because he knows there will be no comeback...its what makes him so smug.
He really cuts a 'sad' figure of a man.

The Grenada leg of the Earl and the Countess of Wessex's Caribbean tour has been postponed, a day before their week-long trip begins.

The decision was made after talks with the island's government and governor general, Buckingham Palace said.

Prince Edward and Sophie will still visit other islands on the tour to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were criticised for some parts of their recent Caribbean tour.

A Buckingham Palace source said discussions were held with host nations to ensure the itinerary would meet the aims of the tour, which are to celebrate the islands and mark the Queen's 70-year reign.

Within those discussions, Grenada - on the advice of Dame Cecile La Grenade, its governor general and the Queen's representative in the country - suggested a postponement.

Prince Edward and Sophie hope to visit the island at a later date, the palace said.

Their tour of three Caribbean nations - St Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Antigua and Barbuda - will begin on Friday.

Seems like ‘recollections may vary’ is no longer the way forward: senior courtiers have revealed:

Meghan didn’t attend the meeting.

I guess Harry's version sounds good for the American audience to boost the ‘great connection’ to the Queen for their brand.

……and Harry’s version of a great community in Montecito which welcomed them with open arms is baffling to the residents as they have never seen them or speak to them. Harry is seen occasionally on his bike or walking on the beach but no interactions. (Times Article).

‘William at 40’, a new book by Robert Jobson. Sheds light on the family pressures that shaped the future King.
This extract is an interesting read about William and Harry’s childhoods - and their naughy antics….

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10749211/Papa-doesnt-embarrass-Mama-does-ROBERT-JOBSON-pressures-shaped-Prince-William.html

'Papa doesn't embarrass me... Mama does': Prince William was the crutch for a troubled mother while his brother revelled in freedom of being the 'spare'. Now a new book by ROBERT JOBSON sheds light on the family pressures that shaped our future king

The unhappy Diana treated the young William as if he was an adult, and she the child…..

[For William, school was not only fun but a respite from his mother’s increasing tendency to lean on him as an emotional crutch. Later, even Diana privately admitted she went too far in burdening him with her problems.
She had taken to calling William ‘the man in my life’, and he did his best to be supportive — once telling her that he wanted to be a policeman so he could protect her. But he was only ten when his parents officially separated in 1992.

After their divorce was finalised, and William learned that his mother would be stripped of her royal title, he threw his arms around her and exclaimed: ‘Don’t worry, Mummy. I’ll give it back to you one day, when I’m king.’
Even so, he sometimes felt uncomfortable at being appointed her champion. After he went to Eton, she would often ring him there, sometimes crying hysterically down the line….]

Jealousy… I think growing up Harry loved being ‘the spare’….when they reached adulthood he suddenly realised being ‘the spare’ made him feel inferior. His want of taking control of his own life but keeping his titles and status in another country gave him a sense of superiority that he could never have over William had he stayed here.
However….his manipulation of the truth that he knows will go unchallenged by family members is starting to reveal itself from insiders who can and will speak on their behalf.

However….his manipulation of the truth that he knows will go unchallenged by family members is starting to reveal itself from insiders who can and will speak on their behalf.Harry's position of importance within the Royal Family dropped as soon as William had kids - as was the case with Charles' siblings when William was born. Such is a hereditary system of succession. I don't think it's necessarily about feeling inferior, but it's natural to want to go a different way when you feel your relevance dropping where you are... surely?

i think harry has a huge amount of baggage that has built up over the years and being second fiddle to william will be pretty low down the list. He has made a lot of bad choices/decisions over the years and thats entirely down to him. Some people always believe they are hard done by and harry is simply an example of that. He will never change

He will never changeI don't know that it's even about second fiddle as much as it is the "great importance" that's placed on the other sibling... I think that affects any sibling relationship really. My bed friend had a "golden child" brother (test scores off the chart, played piano at a high grade by 12, spoke fluent Japanese by 15 etc.) and his parents didn't exactly hide how great they thought the brother was. It's not like they were bad to him or even that they didn't have a loving relationship - it was just abundantly clear that the brother was seen as "special" and it was clear that affected him.

Thats going to be the case for any royal sibling I think, especially when there are just two of them... Margaret, for example. Its probably lessened when there are other siblings in the mix as then it's a different thing, not "one and one".

Im not saying its the crux of all the issues but having a sibling with a "destiny" is going to affect anyone in some way.

A lemon and Swiss roll amaretti trifle is to be the official pudding for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee after winning a competition to find a new dessert.

Jemma Melvin created the dessert, inspired by the lemon posset served at the Queen's wedding to Prince Philip.

The trifle is made with layers of lemon curd swiss roll, custard, jelly, a mandarin coulis and amaretti biscuits.

It will join the ranks of royal-inspired dishes, such as coronation chicken and Victoria sponge.

Some 5,000 people, aged eight to 108, entered the nationwide competition to craft a new pudding to commemorate the Queen's 70-year reign, with entries whittled down to five finalists who subsequently competed before a panel of expert judges in a show on BBC One.

Jemma, a copywriter from Southport, Merseyside, beat fellow amateur bakers Kathryn MacLennan, Sam Smith, Shabnam Russo and Susan Gardner in a special BBC programme called The Jubilee Pudding: 70 years in the Baking, with the Duchess of Cornwall announcing the winner.

The competition was run by royal grocer Fortnum and Mason, in partnership with the Big Jubilee Lunch Charity, to create a pudding that had a memorable story behind it, tasted delicious, and was fit for the 96-year-old Queen.

ROBERT HARDMAN: Family, military and 600 horses...what a joyous gallop through the Queen's favourite things
16th May

When she comes to look back on the numerous events great and small in honour of the first Platinum Jubilee in British history, it's a safe bet that last night's emotional spectacular in her own back garden will be near the top of the Queen's list of happy memories.
She braved the night air for her first nocturnal engagement of the year (an outdoor one, too).
And, well past 10.30pm, she was very clearly continuing to enjoy herself enormously – receiving a thumping three cheers before heading home……

....Screened live on iTV, the event frequently brought the 5,000 strong crowd to its feet....
……………..
It was a very enjoyable and emotional star studded spectacular, and the Queen looked pretty good. :cheer2:

THE QUEEN delighted royal fans as she made an unscheduled appearance today in London to mark the completion of the Elizabeth Line.
By ALICE SCARSI 11:39, Tue, May 17, 2022 |

Her Majesty visited Paddington ahead of the launch of the new rail line named after her. The Queen was all smiles as she emerged from the lift at the London station in a dazzling bright yellow outfit.

The 96-year-old monarch donned a matching yellow hat and coat, under which could be spotted a blue, white and yellow dress with a floral pattern. The resilient Queen carried her signature bag and walked aided only by a light walking stick.
Her Majesty was accompanied to the west London station by her youngest son Prince Edward.

During the engagement, the royals chatted with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and TfL commissioner Andy Byford.
............
It's great to see her out and about. :)

Have to admit I loved it last week when she didn't go to some stuffy government thing with them saying she wasn't fit enough, but then she was at some other event (horses maybe?) all smiles. Hahaha. You have to admire that.

The nation is being encouraged to sing Neil Diamond's soft rock classic Sweet Caroline to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee next month.

The song was chosen by listeners of Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Breakfast Show as an "uplifting, happy" melody everyone can sing at street parties on 5 June.

Announcing the campaign, Ball described the 53-year-old hit as "a song of togetherness".

It is hoped that 10 million people will join the singalong.

"We're hoping also that loads of grassroots music groups and choirs and school bands and brass bands will learn the song and perform it too," said Ball.

"We really want to encourage the country to all come together."

The Queen has had a great start to the week. She woke up this morning to see those booing Liverpool fans devastated by defeat and that some of them got locked out of the ground and tear-gassed and the coach didn't turn up for some of them to take them to Paris.

Don't mess with The Queen, she has contacts.

Queen honored with Stonehenge tribute ahead of Platinum Jubilee

[This tribute to Queen Elizabeth II really rocks. The 96-year-old British monarch was honored with portraits of her projected onto Stonehenge, as part of the annual Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her 70 years on the throne.

The stones feature eight portraits, including a photo from the queen’s coronation in 1953, a picture of her riding a horse in the 1960s, an appearance at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 2017 and more.
“We’ve brought two British icons together to mark the #PlatinumJubilee! We’ve projected eight portraits of Queen Elizabeth II onto Stonehenge,” said the English Heritage organization, which cares for the historic landmark, in a statement on Twitter. “Each picture is from a different decade of The Queen’s reign.”]
