Symbolic Beehive!!! ---

United States Military Orchestra? No...Taylor Swift? Cheerleaders?

So, French culinary tradition, A British fish and NZ Beehive inspired dessert. How very elegant and not remotely American. Melania was also dressed in Dior.

Make America Great ...Or Make America European? Wonder what a state banquet with the French President looks like?
 
Sorry I'm not mocking I just find it interesting that's all.
Yes fit for a King, though other countries do just as well - it won't take much to impress King Charles just give him a garden tour and he's happy. He's not got a huge appetite for fine dining.

You should have seen the armour of King Henry. He was huge. I don't know how big his throne was but probably collapsed under the weight of him.

Anthony Bourdain was a much more intrepid traveller who dined with the people on the street. Now he was the one to watch when he was alive. Camilla's son Tom is apparently a gourmand, and written 9 cookbooks.

One of their uncles did a tour of India on an elephant, as you do. Just in his spare time.
 
Also...Brits don't like the French. Secretly, behind their backs, they call the French 'frogs'. The French call the Brits 'ros bifs' which means Roast Beefs. Probably cos of those poker faced Beefeaters.

Love the gold lined plates and silver cutlery though. Very wealthy! And the white flower arrangements, the florists went all out, must have thought they were arranging for a wedding or something! Was the wine from the Napa Valley? What was the non-alcoholic alternative? I heard Charles talk about cola, after he mentioned tea (English and Boston) and Scotch Whiskey.

Anyway, dinners over so what part of the tour can we dissect next. I want to know about Camilla's tour of the New York Public Library. What books did she check out? Did she talk to any librarians or stay hush-hush. Was she comparing it to the British Library, and counting how many folios of Shakespeare they had? Was Charles asking her to look up quotes by Oscar Wilde?
Did she come across any tomes of Spare, or The Bench in the children's section?

She can't have just been admiring the architecture. They have loads of libraries in London, round reading room domes and all. But one thing the Americans invented they can be somewhat proud of - The Dewey Decimal System.
 
Will they drop by the Cayman Islands, or perhaps visit Mustique on way home and lie in the sun for a few days getting much needed Vitamin D. Now the Royal yacht is no more, I wonder how they gonna get home. Another long haul jet fueled flight?
Nobody's using the QE2 anymore are they?

I think it might be time for Camilla to have a ship named after her.
Diana already had a whole fleet of Princess cruise ships - Diamond, Ruby, Star, Royal, Sun, Carribbean...

The Camilla Flotilla?

Diplomacy. Something everyone engaging in international relations need to learn. You can't just go and slander another country's leaders and call them evil witches or whatever even if you think they are. They could put a hex on you if they really ARE witches.

Slander is something that is untrue. and frankly I'm greatly couching the full litany to sing about Lady Voldemort.

Hexes vs. the Hexenhammer, besides just commissioning the most definitive and excellent Bible in English translation the KJV King James 1&VI was also one of the most amazing witchhunters in all of history, praise Jesus.

Shorter clip but still kinda long of the reception/welcoming of the King;
 
Let's talk about the Spare again.
I hope he doesn't mind, though you never know who may be reading this.
Prince Harry brings up the real issue of inheritance, in Britain or UK known as primogeniture. It basically means first in, first served, and being second is always the runner up. You'll only win if you bump the first one off, or the first one abdicates.

And it only applies, or used to apply, for many centuries, to males. You will eventually be outclassed and branched out or broken off the lineage, when the first starts sprouting sprogs. (look that one up).

This is why Princess Catherine is important and trumps Duchess Meghan. Prince William, can choose if he wants, to make Catherine his Queen, but that will never happen to Duchess Meghan. The only way it would happen is fratricide, but, if that happens it would be truly evil even if they covered it up and pretended someone else did it. This is why all the conspiracies surround Princess Diana's death.

i'm still getting used to the ever changing titles and names its so confusing because the abdicating uncle was known to everyone as King Edward, (for a brief period) but insiders called him David, and King George was actually called Bertie (or Albert).

Anyway back to Prince Harry. Like Bertie he is the spare. So even if William may choose to give up his inheritance for a mess of pottage (though not likely, plus he's already married) Harry will receive nothing, as he's already exiled himself. And it (the crown) will go to little Prince George. Unless there is a reconciliation or understanding between brothers, Harry will not be HRH. He won't ever be His Majesty.

This doesn't just happen in Royal families. All of aristocracy in the UK adhere to this rule, of primogeniture as they need firstborn sons to inherit their vast estates. What happens to the second sons? Well back in Victorian times because they had no inheritance it was common to send them away to the colonies. They were called Remittance men.
The stories of Remittance men are mostly very sad. Some made the most of it, but often they fell into trouble, were given little but a yearly allowance, and were absolutely useless to anyone. They couldn't work for a living and most likely didn't have the skills to do so. Many turned to crime, if they were not already rogues, vagabonds, pirates, drunks and thieves.

Ah as an eldest son I know well primogenitor and how the envious younger ones typically hate us and resent us with such a fascinating blend of jealousy lol. Harry doesn't have to be broken off though, ideally he will be his brother's very best knight in the future when Princess Anne is no longer around. Harry is not even the Spare anymore because William has now two sons, the actual spare is now Prince Louis. Harry is a prince still as a son of a king and the current reigning king, and his dynamic with his father and his elder brother is pivotal in the spiritual architecture and strength of both the Crown overall and the Windsor dynasty at its critical formative period (first male ruler with a large roost of sons and grandsons.) Harry needs to get over his Spare thoughts and get back into the nobility, not as Spare but as a key Duke in the reformation and the restructuring of the nobility which is going to happen, first softly while Charles reign, but will get hardset when William becomes King. Really Harry and Meghan be wise to pivot towards Anne. Harry has to be the Prodigal Son that returns and is celebrated by his father but also humbles himself to serve the Rightful Son that didn't go out and waste his inheritance on the harlots, praise Jesus.
 
Say something happens to Princess Catherine. God forbid, and Prince William marries again. Even his hypothetical second wife, would not be able to take the Crown, and if she already has children from a previous relationship, they will not count in the lineage.
Consorts or partners to the blood born royals are only King or Queen in name. They are not to the manor born, as they say, and only are rich by association. Also it depends on how the relationship goes.

What happened with Diana was very sad, as she tried her best to be the Princess everyone wanted, in hopes of eventually being Queen. But she knew it would not happen, because it was her husband destiny to be King and her firstborn son, William. That's why she devoted more time to her spare, as he was affectionately known. Harry was mummy's boy. Well they both were, but William takes after his Dad the most.

I don't know if people already know this, I feel like I'm mansplaining the Royals to everyone outside the Commonwealth. But I have come across a lot of ignorance about the significance of the Royals, especially in USAsians who don't know how Royals work, what they do, and why they don't have a President. Prime Ministers can wield a similar power but they are not actually allowed to use that position to enrich themselves, as some Presidents have been known to do. Royals have a particular protocol, they are meant to set the example of moral behaviour, and if they act immorally, they can have their titles stripped. They can also advise their Prime Ministers on official duties and how to perform ceremonial traditions (which the Brits are fond of)

Mr T has already been impeached, but he is not the first to abuse his position and scandals surround him. Definitely not the first to treat women abominably. A lot of people don't care and support anybody that panders to their demographic.

The Senate is like the House of Lords. The House of representatives is like the House of Commons. Only difference in the US is its a Meritocracy rather than a Monarchy. If you generate a lot of money, no matter your lineage, you can be on the A list.

No the Senate isn't like the House of Lords at all, the US government is set up more like Republican Rome. Though that's how the Democrat Party runs their party is they have a two-tiered system like that where their superdelegates are basically the house of lords of their evil corrupt party. You're wrong about Trump in a lot of ways. In America I am the King and Trump is my servant and in fact Trump is my best servant because he performs my will almost perfectly, easily more than any other before him. Praise Jesus.

Though I should add I sense some hidden blessings from the King's travel are afoot. There is a point to make here that it's time for corrupt and wicked Keir Starmer with his punchable face to be thrown out in disgrace, may Britain finally get a strong PM after him, praise Jesus.


 
The British influences on America are actually more akin to what Charles actually quite astutely noted in his Dinner speech, English Common Law, Magna Carta, a basic cultural understanding (language, names, cultural motiffs, places named after the British, etc.) America is basically if you took the government set up of Republican Rome, English Common Law and broader Britannic culture, and of course the Bible and put them all together and serve them with a side of fries from McDonalds that's how you get us Amerimutts (preferred demonym over USAsian) :)
 
Well Mr T isn't my servant, and if you are a rich lister, he could be, but he won't always act in your interests. Waaaay too selfish for that. If you think he can be easily manipulated if you stroke his ego, maybe. But pride comes before a fall.
 
You are not the King in America.
Stop with your delusions of grandeur.

It would be like MJ saying he's the King of Pop. Whatever! Even Elvis didn't want the title of King. He just wanted to be Elvis.
 
Jesus would beg to differ about all the Kingdoms of this world. He didn't want anything to do with it, even when Satan offered it, if he would worship the devil.

And the devil can disguise himself as an angel of light. Wake up.

Nonesense totally, especially after the evil years of Biden and the democrats misrule after rigging an election and misruling the whole Earth to total degradation and curses. Trump is more than just nice to us, Trump actually listens and obeys and does our will having no respect of persons, in fact Trump's way of slapping the taste out of the rich and deceitful maggots across this earth and bringing them all under our subjugation is a key reason our God gave him to us praise Jesus.
 
All roads lead to Rome right? So whats with the USasian hatred of Catholics. US is constantly trying to usurp the Vatican, and even create their own home grown religions like Mormonism, which claims Jesus went to America and Salt Lake City has the new temple.

Whatever. The British Royal family were iconolasts, and destroyed the Catholics set up, and even tried to take over Ireland. Then made their own Church of England which basically just copied Catholicism but the King as its head instead of the Pope. Swings and roundabouts.
