King Charles III of the United Kingdom

[phenobarbara]

in return for permission to marry his Shih Tzu, he officially, formally and legally agrees to not assume the throne. Agrees to abdicate and leave it to Prince William. If the Queen passes on earlier than this predetermined age, then, I guess, the white smoke goes up and he gets the job.

Interesting. Charles has spent his entire adult life whining about his lack of importance in his role as P.O.W., so I always assumed that as soon as Liz dies, he'd run to the throne so fast he'd likely pull a hamstring. I wonder if that blurb is really true.

Wonder what the "predetermined age" is/was? Hopefully, somewhere around 35.

(Oh dear! Has that already passed?)

What is it with these royal retards? Even a lowly scribe knew this blessed bliss absolutely could not be same day as the Pope's funeral.

QEII and Chuckie having an agreement just sounds like a rumor. Chuckles has waiting his whole life to be king. If he has to hobble his way to the throne at age 80, he'll do it.

Besides, isn't Will kind of young yet? I don't think the RF would want to thrust him on the throne at such a young age, the way Liz was.

I'll bet the Pope's death really chapped Camilla's ass. How dare he die when he did? Doesn't he know Chuckles and Cammie have waited so long to get married?

As much as I'd love to see Chuckles passed over for the throne, I'm not hopeful it'll happen. Granted, William is only a few years younger than Liz was when she became Queen, but the times were different. And, she was raised in a different environment. William - for better or worse - seems to have a touch of the "who gives a shit?" attitude towards all the pomp and circumstance. Chuckles is still very much old school in that sense, so as much as Liz hates Chuckles' personal life, I think she'd rather he be king right now instead of William.

SHE'S REALLY terribly nice and awfully down to earth. But she also always gets exactly what she wants."

So remarks a friend of Camilla Parker Bowles, who should finally be married to Prince Charles on Saturday. Camilla will then be Princess Consort or Queen for a Day or Charlie's Old Lady soon enough.

As to her earthy side, I hear that in her home, Camilla allows an old hen to roam free. So free that before company arrives, Camilla has to double check to make sure this family member hasn't laid any eggs on chairs or sofas. On a few occasions, Camilla slipped up, and guests found themselves with rather eggy bottoms. But what the hell, everybody just fell about laughing.

That's what Charles loves about her — she's always making with the yolks.

From today's Liz Smith column in Page Six. Another endearing trait. Wonder if she's planning on bringing chickens to Buckingham Palace??? Perhaps they could lay enough eggs between now and Saturday to have homemade deviled eggs as part of the "finger food" buffet.

WTF?? That is frickin' gross! Yeah, that's nice...let a hen roam around your house and let it lay eggs. Then again, what do you expect from a woman who rides her horse all day then goes to a party at night without showering in between. (she actually admitted doing that; I'll probably never find the link to that again)

Oh, so gross! Bleh. And she's the next Queen of England. (No matter what they say now, she will indeed be Queen.)

At least Diana had some class, even if she had mental problems.

Actually, it's not the eggs that I find gross. It's the other little "surprises" that the chickens might leave in strategic places. I don't think they have a reputation for being house trained.

I have a picture in my mind of the ad that's now running for "How Clean Is Your House" where Aggie shrieks, "She's sleeping on cat poo!"

[Deleted]

I find the not showering thing simply repulsive. I have never ridden a horse in my entire life, so maybe someone who has can fill me in. It's a pretty strenuous activity, no? Like going to an aerobics class. But in an aerobics class, you come out smelling like BO only. I figure that riding a horse, you’d smell like BO and the horse. Foul.

I just ran into this on the web and I had to share - Chuck is really from Uranus
Too funny not to share with everybody.
