I remember one classic scene from that book (which I read decades ago) when the Queen, coming home with the shopping (I think) was so hungry she couldn't even wait to make herself a cup of tea, but slathered some jam onto a slice of bread and devoured it. (Or have I misremembered?)That's a fascinating insight....apart from thoroughly enjoying ***Sue Townsend's excellent The Queen and I (in which the UK republican party comes to power and immediately abolishes the Monarchy, sending the whole family to council houses on a Midlands sink estate), I'd not really thought about TRF's actual response to suddenly being made redundant and with a useless grifting junkie stoat in tow.(He'd fit right in to Sue Townsend's Hellebore Close!).
I think you're right, most of the fam would shun him. Chas Spencer might find a use for the stoat on his huge estate...but they'd soon fall out: too many of those prickly Spencer genes swirling around to allow familial harmony for long.
For a long time I've said that most of the RF are experts in their own right. In fact, I'm in awe of a good few of them: by their own choice they've quietly learnt and studied and practiced to very high levels in their chosen fields. So they'd be welcomed into those fields if they wanted to work.
The stoat, on the other hand, has done absolutely nothing to make himself realistically employable on the strength of his knowledge, competence, expertise - because he doesn't have it. He has tons of ill-informed opinions though.
Lashing his way round a polo field wouldn't count for jack. He wouldn't even get a gig as a novelty host on a late night, minor cable tv show - he's that boring, ill-disposed and gauche.
And he's burnt all his bridges - which has become the only persistent pursuit in which he excels!
Meanwhile, the fall of the Monarchy would likely lead to immense civil unrest and chaos on every level, even resulting in civil war. As the leading perp in the Monarchy's demise, stoat would be hounded to death by the strong Royalist faction... and after a few decades of Republican mayhem and misrule, the Monarchy would be restored....that's the pattern of British history.

That was the story.Millie Dowler wasn't it who was missing but before her body was found her parents believed she was picking up voicemails they'd left because the journalists were hacking and listening to them.
I think he is officially neck-beard guy now.I am so bored of his gurning whiny face!!
If you’re in that much danger stay home and stop courting the press you utter bleeping wallop.
and its not just the Harkles! at a guess the the McCann's do too! potentially the likes of Gordon Brown as wellMaybe people are missing the point, the Harkles want to censor the internet, so it's useful to them in light of the Holly Willoughby case to have people on forums bring up Rushdie...
His 40th birthday party is going to be a blast with Diana and Betty hanging around giving legal advice. Now that's a Netflix show I'd watchHarry suggesting that the late Queen supported his quest against the free press is extremely questionable and I bet some of his relatives are furious about it. He has no right to put words into the mouths of dead people who can't speak for themselves.
I think everyone was appalled at the way the press behaved with the phone hacking etc. This isn’t the same as supporting Harry's view that he can never be criticised for anything or held to account.
If the ginger dandelion thinks that it's too unsafe for his wife to visit Britain and he fears attacks from the general public then he should give up his citizenship, his titles and place in the line of succession. Become an American citizen Harry and don't ever come back here.
Since the beginning it has been obvious that the Pria de Luz media playbook had been studied by the Markles.and its not just the Harkles! at a guess the the McCann's do too! potentially the likes of Gordon Brown as well
I previously mentioned about a book being released in Portugal the first part studies the Portuguese Police files, various TV appearances, interviews etc etc using statement analysis of a certain duo and the authors theory of what potentially happened , the second part of the book is extremely interesting, the ex Policeman/Author conducts his own investigation in the Praia Da Luz area, he alleges to have captured a certain people on various field cameras he installed behaving in a strange manner and a couple of new friends come into the mix (ones that we are not aware of) he refers to these friends as the Golden Nuggets he gives enough info that is potentially identifiable to certain people, this investigation took over 7 years for him conduct, the book is over 800 pages, he refers to it as being a brick, he is hoping the book will prompt certain individuals to do the right thing, if not the Author says he is going to release his captured footage on the internet,
It is believed there was incredible amount of UK government involvement in the case, just to add for anyone interested the Portuguese case files are available to read online, just google Maddy Case files and you'll find links for them and if you get the chance watch Bernt Stellander The Sudden Impulse press conference just google

Think of the dinner party with the four of them!I don't know which lying, sanctimonious, 'victim' claiming , self serving duo I detest the most
Not yet which is odd but I guess she's jealous because she wanted to be the first woman of colour PresidentHas Meg come out and endorsed Kamala yet?
Vile. Feckless. Entitled. Grifter. I am a sympathic human. More than one woman has accused me of being 'too sensitive', 'too sentimental'. I've even tried to be unkind and nasty to a girlfriend; I can't do it. It's just not in me. Even tho, ironically, she wanted me to tie her up and hit her. It's just not in my nature, I'm not a violent sadistic person.
But I have to say: I bleeping despise Harold. I've never had such passion in my life more than hating Hazno. Every time I see his bleeping face I want to smash it in with a rusty crowbar.
This is, literally, close to home for me. I know Sally Dowler slightly and her other daughter Gemma much better - they are both such nice, low key people whose lives have been rocked sideways. The loss of Milly was awful but then to have that hope raised and dashed by immoral hacks was compounding the pain. And every time the hacking comes up, or any kind of sensationalist tv or press mentions of that evil sub human animal Bellfield, they are dragged into it again. It never stops.Millie Dowler wasn't it who was missing but before her body was found her parents believed she was picking up voicemails they'd left because the journalists were hacking and listening to them.
