It would all be enormous fun, if only it were more interesting.

Oh, well, chin up, dear Sister Joanna. Things could be much worse. The tabloids could be plastering stories everywhere about a certain clownish hairstyle.

Re: Keep Meghan and Harry Over There

My, how the news about this pair is dismal. After the Queen has told them that they cannot use "royal" in their title to sell their tea towels, Prince Harry has told the Queen that she does not own the term "royal".

I must say my eyes are getting tired of rolling at Meghxit news. You see, I thought that the reason whats-his-face and whats-her-face decided to exit the royal family is because they wanted to be treated like normal people, which includes behaving like normal people - rather than like elites claiming some supernatural qualities derived from their supposed descent* from a rather random unwashed barbarian who lived in the Dark Ages**.

Now it seems they want their cake and they want to eat it, too? Then, I sincerely hope they will be plagued by paparazzi until the day they die.

** The link above goes to what the British royal family says about themselves. Following Wikipedia, that random unwashed barbarian living in the 9th century claimed to be a descendant of a largely mythological unwashed barbarian who is believed to have lived in the 6th century. Really murky origins for people claiming to be "Royal Highnesses."

I have to disagree, Sister. I sincerely hope that they will be utterly ignored and that we never have to hear about them again.

Pretty much any other inhabitant of Britain is more likely to be descended from him than they are, given that they have been German for generations. This, incidentally, explains the strangulated way they speak - as though choking on an under-cooked knockwurst.

Re: Keep Meghan and Harry Over There

This Prince Harry is third in line for the throne currently occupied by his grandmother. She is very old and will die soon. Then Harry's father will be the King of England. He is also old and will die soon and then Harry's brother William will be King. That should happen pretty soon, but if something happens to William, King Harry will be a Canadian or, worse, a Californian. What will the English do if their King has moved to Los Angeles?

Are you suggesting that the not-princess Merkel's contacts within the Toronto soap-opera community have taken out a contract on William's three children? Oh my goodness, that hadn't even occurred to the British tabloid press! If you will excuse me, I have a couple of calls to make....

Rest assured, the proceeds of that will be going straight into Pastor Zeke's new jet fund. But it was pointed out to me that Harry's father - who may be a cad and a bounder, but is not a complete fool - will certainly be persuaded to come forward at that point, thus removing Harry and his (alleged) child from the succession. Next in line would be Prince Andrew, but it is generally assumed that he will be in prison. All Hail Queen Beatrice and the new Queen Mom, the lovely Duchess Fergiana!

Re: Keep Meghan and Harry Over There

We are the Royals known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that are no longer the Royal Duke and Duchess of Sussex. As the former Royals from Sussex, but of our own choice we aren't a Royal Duke or a Duchess anymore, and while we object to the Queen's claim that we can no longer use the word Royal when we are not Royal, nonetheless we don't intend to use the title Royal anyway to sell you our ex-Royal Sussex inspired King and Queen sized beds and accessories. We also have other ideas that are unique with us as ex-Royals and no longer Duke and Duchess of Sussex that are exclusively ours for purveyors by appointment to the no longer Royal that once held the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Sweet Jesus, we beseech Thee, please build that wall and make the Royals pay for it. Amen.

...And also please keep the royals, the ex-royals, the wannabe royals, and any other kind of royals that exists, on the other side of that wall. Amen.

Indeed. Everything I've learned about this couple has been done against my will. May the LORD bless us for our patience. And soon.

That object rather struck me as architecture than millinery.

Others wondered if it came from a bathroom supplies shop.

Oh, Dear Heaven above! My, my; Sister Joanna, that princess most definitely has questionable tastes in millinery choices. Why, when I saw her wearing that "hat" at the wedding, all I could think of was of a similar situation that I'd seen on a TV show at one time (photo attached). And, isn't she the daughter of a prince who has controversial friends?

[Basilissa]

Re: Keep Meghan and Harry Over There

Oh, poor child! I guess that would explain the horrified look in her eyes, witch-like hairdo, extravagant head-pieces, and all of the other psychological problems that she must be enduring.

Oh, yes, I do think that this is the case, dear Sister Basilissa. The emotional scars must run very deep in this poor girl. And, in that photo of her wearing that strange headpiece, I just noticed that she is wearing a doily around her neck! Why, I have a doily (crocheted by my own hands) that is very similar. It is on my Chippendale pie-crust, side tea table, currently displaying one of my lovely cranberry epergnes (tagged, "For Larry").

Now, then, as for keeping Harry (Ginger) and Meghan (Nutmeg) over in the UK instead of letting them settle in North America, why, I've heard that even the Queen no longer wants them there. Apparently, Nutmeg has been telling her friends that the Queen "doesn't have a legal leg to stand on", regarding when she was told she could not use "royal" any longer. This, quite naturally, has infuriated the Queen to no end!
