I would bet they swould be very active dogs.
Well yea but they were short little anklebiters so if the Queen was threatened in any way, the assailants would have their ankles bitten. She would just have to give a wave of her hand and the dogs would get them.

She wasn't a 'Release the Hounds' type Queen.
However I've never seen a picture of her cuddling a corgi. Is there one? Not AI generated?

Ha, never knew that this one had the throne?
Yea looking forward to the book where it has all the names of her corgis.

She probably had a Royal dog groomer who would go round picking up 'deposits' and also keeping the fur off her gowns.

I'm a dog lover, don't ever remember not having a dog in the family, a few cats. I know the royals hunt a lot and are active so I assumed Corgi's were active dogs. I will have to look that up.

Well I don't know they had a huge palace backyard to run around in. I doubt they were lazy lapdogs.

Am currently reading about Prince Andrew. I mean Mr Windsor, as he is now known.
Also, at one point, a 'spare'
He had an interesting childhood, very different to Charles and Anne. He was younger to Charles by 11 years so a big difference.
William and Harry are only 2 years apart.

Of course, his is the big scandal, and a lot of cover up for his bad playboy behaviour. I just kind of can't believe he'd fall so far. But some men are like that, think they can play around with young girls and do those sorts of things and get away with it. Well no, you are hurting somebody's daughter, somebody's sister. And those young girls are vulnerable, they may think they oh so grown up and impressed by all the razzle dazzle, but the ugly truth is, they just get used and spat out. If you wanna be in a harem, then be prepared to have all your innocence and decency taken away from you.

In the Bible, whoremongers are listed as some of the worst sinners.
 
The Crown tv series did only passing ref to a young Prince Andrew, that he was a practical joker. Fergie was not portrayed at all. I was hoping she would be, but no appearance at all.
Probably too embarassing?

In the Windsors tv series, she has a starring role. The Windsors was so much better than the Crown. It was more entertaining and took the mickey out of the Royals. The Crown was all serious but was let down in the end by Diana's ghost appearing I don't think her ghost would have done that.

Princess Anne said she never watched the Crown, but heard about the actress who played her taking hours to get her hair right, when all the real Princess Anne did was brush it back in 10 minutes. lol
 
It's Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell who was heinous. He corrupted Prince Andrew, I mean fed into his bad behaviour.
I can not get over the fact that he had HUNDREDs of young girls in his sex trafficking ring.

If you want to talk about evil, don't rag on Jacinda Ardern or Taylor Swift. Jeffrey Epstein was the worst.

Gross gross gross and evil.

good way to describe him and the despicable things he did...
 
Finished the book about Prince Andrew. I might read the one Virginia Guiffre wrote now called Nobody's Girl.

It seems he bedded her 3 times. She sued him, but he hid and didn't appear in court in the US, or the UK, and he didn't want to testify against Mr Epstein, for some strange reason. He appeared on Newsnight interview. I never watched it as whatever the royals do I'm not interested in a muck raking interviews. It was bad enough when Meghan talked to Oprah. I couldn't sit through hours of Netflix drama either.

But now I'm like what is this. Royals making their own reality??

How deluded can people be? They think they are above the law? Really? They don't make the laws anymore.
Also Royals are not allowed to have harems, Henry the 8th specifically changed the law so that he could only have one wife at a time, and divorce her if she didn't bear him any heirs.
But now, see Princess Diana bore an heir and spare, and she still got divorced, even though she didn't want to, because her parents did so and it was a huge scandal, and she bore the scars of abandonment by her mother when she was only 9 years old. Younger than Prince Harry when he lost his mother - he was only 12?
 
Her mother, Francis Shand Kydd bolted or ran off with her lover, to Australia I think it was, but did end up in Scotland somewhere past all the lochs, and turned Catholic.

Then her father Johnny Spencer remarried to Raine (they called her 'Acid Raine') and her mother was Dame Barbara Cartland who wrote all the romance novels and famously wore only pink.

Diana had two older sisters and a younger brother, also named Charles. So she was the third daughter and middle child somewhat. Her brother, being the firstborn MALE was the one to inherit the title and land of Althorp upon Earl Johnny Spencer's death.

Diana got nothing, she had a 2 million pounds divorce settlement though no title and no land. She was living in Kensington Palace apartments, Charles lived in Highgrove, which was meant to be their marital home. No luck - he was ***** Camilla there.
 
She couldn't even go back to Althorp, brother Charles considered it but changed his mind. She was too famous and would have disrupted everyone there, and the paps would have camped outside.
Thats why partly she took up with Dodi Al Fayed, because he had a yacht and was able to get away from the paps for a little bit.
 
Very sad tragic fate. Dodi was thinking of marrying her or being engaged, and taking up residence in France, and even went to see the house of the exiled King Edward/David and Wallis Simpson, to see if they could live there.

That is partly why they were in Paris at the time of the car crash. They were staying in the Ritz though. That was where the exiled Windsors had a permanent apartment. With their pugs.
 
The Al Fayeds were extremely wealthy, muslim and owned Harrods. They had million dollar yachts all over the place and could buy anything they desired.

When Charles and Diana had their honeymoon, they stayed on the Royal yacht Britannia.
 
At the time, Harry and Wills were in their tweens/teens and staying in Balmoral with their dad and grandparents. But they had previously had a holiday with Dodi and their mother on board the yacht Jonikal. They went around the Med.

The paps wouldn't leave her alone even when she tried to bargain with them, by giving them the shot they wanted. Di in a swimsuit would always make front page news.

This is why Harry hates the paps, and media in general. They (Harry and Meghan) then decide they want to control the narrative and not have others tell their story. He didn't want Meghan to be a target of paps and die in a car crash getting away from them like his mother.
 
I'm sure everyone sort of knows this - but they get ragged by the media anyway.

It's the females that need to be protected esp when they are young and pretty. Nobody really wants pictures of the male royals when they are past their prime.
