My Mum visited Holyrood in Edinburgh some years ago and was quite seriously asked by two American ladies, "Is this Buckingham Palace?". She had to let them down gently and indicate they were in the wrong capital city.

Quoted from codcheeky


I doubt very much two people there to see the Queen would not recognise her, I went to Versailles but surprisingly never bumped into the Sun king, it was packed solid with other tourists free to roam the complete palace and grounds, they must have missed the message that it’s been a couple of hundred years since they had done away with this hereditary nonsense and  there was no monarch.  
People have gone to Buckingham Palace every day this summer and the Queen has been in Scotland, people would still go if there was no monarchy, yes the ceremonies like changing the guards attract crowds but-you do not need a monarch for this.

I reckon a few sat on the royalist/republican fence will have dropped onto the republican side over the last few days.

Yeah me. Was fairly indifferent before, I could cope with the Queen and quite liked her.
The fact that Andrew is coming back into public life makes an even bigger sham of it.
Charles is not my king and I won't be singing the national anthem.

You won’t get an argument with me on this one I’m sick of them and their angry King.

I’ve no doubt that members of the royal household have used their status to ensure some good, William and Harry and their charity work for example…

Then you get Handy Andy and everything is undone. Mummy hid him away (just like those disabled family members), have him a wad of cash to pay off the victims and protected a blatantly guilty man.

The fact they’d even consider allowing Handy Andy anywhere near public life is a disgrace. All these royalists and the weird flag shaggers associated with it who bang on about grooming gangs yet conveniently ignore the fact that a prominent member of their beloved royals and his chums did exactly the same thing…

Freedom of speech has seemingly gone out of the window and the country has lost its mind. Thousands queuing and some that are, are moaning about it. Thick girl privates. Nobody made them…
