    Fuck him Tax, he comes on here posting pics of decent resorts he has stayed in, purposely does not state costs as if we poor plebs could not compete.

    However this poor pleb could kick his ass financially and whilst that’s not important the clown just annoys me.

    King Charles Gives Candid Speech After Unveiling New Statue of Mom Queen Elizabeth

    King Charles is honoring the life and reign of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.

    Today, the king unveiled a brand-new statue of his mom outside York Minster, the largest cathedral in Northern Europe. He also gave a heartfelt speech and explained how he hopes to carry on her legacy.


    King Charles said, “The creation of this statue is also a tribute to the support, affection and prayers that the community of this cathedral, and of this great city, always gave the late Queen, and all for which she stood in the life of the nation and the Commonwealth.”

    “The late Queen was always vigilant for the welfare of her people during her life,” he continued. “Now her image will watch over what will become Queen Elizabeth Square for centuries to come.”

    The caption of a royal family Instagram post, shown above, revealed details about the statue (which is made from French lepine limestone): “Designed and carved by Minster stonemason, Richard Bossons, the statue honours the life of service and dedication of Queen Elizabeth II.”

    According to BBC, the statue stands at six feet, seven inches tall and weighs nearly two tons. The carving shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a Garter robe and one of her go-to tiaras, the George IV State Diadem. The monarch is standing next to an orb and sceptre (which is a staff or wand that symbolizes authority).

    What a touching tribute for an extraordinary woman.

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    While out on bail……

    UK student who threw eggs at King Charles banned from carrying eggs in public

    A British university student who was arrested for throwing eggs at King Charles on Thursday said he had been banned from carrying eggs in public as part of his bail conditions.

    Patrick Thelwell, 23, was released from custody after Wednesday’s incident in York, northern England, during a visit by the monarch.



    North Yorkshire Police said he was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.

    None of the eggs hit Charles, 73, and he was ushered away by minders.

    Shouts of “not my king” were heard in the crowd and claims that Britain was “built on the blood of slaves”, prompting boos from other onlookers.

    Police then moved in to detain a man, who was restrained and bundled into the back of a van, television images of the incident showed.

    Thelwell told the Daily Mirror newspaper that people were “literally screaming and wailing with pure rage”.

    “People were ripping chunks … of my hair out, they were spitting at me. People lost their minds,” he was quoted as saying.

    Thelwell, a York University student and environmental activist who opposes the monarchy, said he had received death threats.

    He said he was released at 10pm on Wednesday on condition he does not go within 500 metres of the king.

    He is also not allowed to possess any eggs in public, which he claimed to have had amended so he could go grocery shopping.

    King Charles leads Remembrance Day service first time as British monarch

    King Charles III led Remembrance Day commemorations in London on Sunday for the first time as Britain’s monarch, laying a newly designed wreath after a two-minute silence at The Cenotaph war memorial.

    Wreath designers said it also paid tribute to the racing colors used by both Queen Elizabeth II and his grandfather King George VI.

    Charles, who became King following the death of his Elizabeth in September, was joined by other senior members of the royal family including his son and heir Prince William. His wife and queen consort, Camilla, watched from the balcony of a nearby government building.

    Chief of the Defense Staff Tony Radakin said the ceremony to honor Britain’s war dead had an “additional poignancy” after the loss of the queen.

    “She represented duty and service, but also that dignity of that wartime generation and all that they sacrificed for our freedom,” he told the BBC.

    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, leaders of opposition political parties, senior ministers, and faith representatives also laid wreaths during the ceremony on Whitehall in central London, which was lined by thousands of members of the public.

    The ceremony, also attended by seven former prime ministers, is due to be followed by a march past which will involve around 10,000 Royal British Legion veterans, representing 300 different armed forces and civilian organizations.

    Buckingham Palace said the design of the King’s wreath paid tribute to the wreath of his grandfather King George and his mother Elizabeth, with poppies mounted on an arrangement of black leaves and a ribbon bearing Charles’s racing colors of scarlet, purple and gold.

    The chimes marking the start of the two-minute silence at 11:00 a.m. local time (6 a.m. ET) saw the permanent reconnection of the Big Ben bell in parliament’s Elizabeth Tower, after it was largely silenced for five years of repair.

    Officials said this years’ service is dedicated both to fallen soldiers in wars past and to Ukrainians fighting against Russia’s invasion.

    “We must never forget those who gave their lives in defense of our values and our great nation,” said Defense Secretary Ben Wallace.

    “All of us will also be thinking of those brave Ukrainians who are fighting for their very own survival to defend freedom and democracy for all, just as the U.K. and Commonwealth soldiers did in both world wars,” he said.

    Princess Anne and Prince Edward to become stand-ins for King




    King Charles has begun the process of increasing the number of royals who can stand in for the monarch for official duties - proposing Princess Anne and Prince Edward as additions.

    At present the "counsellors of state" are Camilla, the Queen Consort, plus four other senior royals.

    But two of these are Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, who are no longer available as "working royals".

    The King's requested change was read to the House of Lords on Monday.

    It's expected that the Lords will reply on Tuesday - and the same day could see the government introducing legislation in the House of Commons, with a Counsellors of State Bill paving the way for the King's proposal for two extra working substitutes.

    This rapid move in Parliament is intended to resolve an awkward constitutional problem about who could deputise for the King if he was overseas or unwell and could not carry out his duties as head of state.

    At present two of the five eligible to act as counsellors are effectively ruled out.

    Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, withdrew from royal duties in the wake of his association with US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, lives with his family in the United States and has stepped back from being a "working royal".

    Rather than remove them from the list of counsellors of state, the proposal is to widen the pool of eligible royals, so that the availability of Prince Andrew and Prince Harry would cease be an issue.

    In the House of Lords, Lord Parker of Minsmere delivered a statement from the King which called for Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, to be added as extra counsellors of state.

    The statement said that adding the extra counsellors would "ensure continued efficiency of public business when I'm unavailable, such as while I'm undertaking official duties overseas".

    The message was also delivered to the House of Commons, with leader of the house Penny Mordaunt telling MPs there would be legislation to follow.

    This will mean amending the Regency Act, which at present stipulates that counsellors are the spouse of the monarch plus the next four royals in succession to the throne, who are over the age of 21.

    The current counsellors are Camilla, the Queen Consort; Prince William, the Prince of Wales; Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex; Prince Andrew, Duke of York and his daughter, Princess Beatrice.

    Both Princess Anne and Prince Edward have previously been counsellors of state, before being overtaken in the order of succession.

    Counsellors can carry out official duties which could include the state opening of Parliament, signing documents, receiving ambassadors or attending Privy Council meetings, if the monarch is temporarily ill or abroad.

    It is expected that the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales could be undertaking overseas visits next year, so counsellors could be a necessity when they are away.

    Last month the issue was raised in the House of Lords, with Labour peer Viscount Stansgate challenging how Prince Andrew and Prince Harry could be two of the five replacements when one had "left public life" and the other had "left the country".

    The Princess Royal is well known as one of the hardest working members of the Royal Family. She is also a very charming and intelligent individual, who has deliberately kept her own children out of the media paparazzi glare.
    She was born into it. They did not have to be.

    If only you could post something with meaning? Like something that other posters could easily understand?

    Limiting your posts to nonsense that only you pretend to understand, might cause the loss of your reputation. That’s ok though because you only have a reputation for telling lies that you are unable to justify. No great loss to you then!

    Your personal dislike of me, does not justify the lie. Hope that helps?
