Yesterday "the Family" attended a royal to-do when Queen Elizabeth threw a reception to honor her son Charles' "50 years of service." Which begs the question of service to whom?
Charles has been jobless for 50 years! This is something to celebrate? At least he's not living in Mum's basement of Buckingham Palace. It is doubtful anyone could live in it anyhow. One of the "lost rivers" - The Tyburn - runs directly beneath Buckingham Palace!
Mum Lizzie had him declared the Prince of Wales on July 26, 1958 when he was nine years old. He was not formally named P of W until July 1, 1969 when he was 20.
Present were the Queen, Charles, Camilla, Prince William, wife Kate, Prince Harry, wife Megan, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Philip, age 97, was not there. Prime Minister Teresa May was also a guest. Early reports of the event made special mention of the fact that Kate and Megan were seen to be quite affable to one another.
This isn't supposed to happen, but QE2 was wearing a teal jacket and Ms. May a suit of teal in the same shade.
The sadness (to me) was that 50 years of being literally on the dole is a matter to be celebrated? And worse, not being able to get the job until your mother is dead! Is that morbid enough?The Brits are "different" one must grant them that.
