She was late for everything: meals, church, trains, and, worst of all, big ceremonies. The story is told that she was even late for her Coronation and that my grandfather, exasperated, burst into her room, watch in hand, remonstrating, "My dear Alix, if you don't come immediately you won't be crowned Queen."

Idea for the British Monarchy:

Remove the House of Windsor from power and it their place appoint Larry the Cat as monarch and head of state granting him the title of both Chief Mouser and King.

This will both maintain the tradition of the monarchy and help the nation financially during this though recession.

Larry is also known to be soft spoken and cause little drama and is a great choice for diplomacy.

The trouble with animal advocacy

Comment, Jun 26th: We need to challenge movements like Effective Altruism and campaigns for “less but better meat”

On 11 June activists from Animal Rising decorated King Charles’s newly unveiled painting to highlight the animal welfare violations at farms approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). However, it is apparent that Charles doesn’t particularly align with the RSPCA on this issue, and there are rumors that he will chose not to renew the royal patronage.

In London King George V has often been seen early in the morning riding in the Row with a friend. Once he saw a little girl with a very large camera, vainly trying to take a picture of him. Pulling up his horse, he asked her wheter she would find it easier if he stood still. "Oh, yes your majesty, now i can get a lovely one" said the little girl. The King's smile was very kind, as he rode away, fori his love of all children is well known.

Richard III

[anymoretastelessdemands]

One of the most ironic and laughter-inducing parts to come out of King Charles' coronation was just after he was annointed, where the commentators noted his white shirt that represented "simplicity", which without any comment or irony was followed by FUCKING GOLD ROBES, like if that's not the best metaphor for the myth vs reality of the monarchy idk what is
