If only I had a servant, that cat would learn where not to lie down.

he grits his teeth and does the head shake because the table is too small for the 2 large books he has to sign. SUCH HARD WORK. And what a spoiled brat this kid is.

I couldn't even imagine doing that.
In fact, I couldn't imagine the late queen doing that. She may have requested that someone move that item but would have done so with a smile.

tRump has the FBI stop by the royal castle to clean and dust the place. Polish his office desk and organize his documents and paperwork at least about once every week.

In matter of fact, the custodial jobs and services the FBI provides are so important the assignment of a visit to Mar-a-Lago - the royal beach mansion - is customarily done by order of the royal courts.

If the FBI does not stop by periodically to tidy things up a bit - the Royal Pustule is known to just flush things down the toilet.

It's a medieval tradition that has no place in the modern world. It's silly, expensive and useless. Charles and his family represent an ancient history that should be retired now that the Queen has passed.

This is my opinion as a believer in democracy.

Just think, in 20 years, more or less, the world gets to enjoy the pageantry and solemn historical ritual of the media and royalists in Britain and abroad of fawning over the passing of yet another vestigial of royal blood, the man who can't move papers but moves so many as the inspiration of a vestigial empire.

BTW, have scientists ever tested royal blood to see how it differs from that of us commoners?

The desk was small. The documents took up most of the space. There seemed to be no place to put the glass tray andi inkwells. So we witnessed a moment of irritation.

Whatever the future holds for the commonwealth, the monarchy, etc., it seems a bit of a stretch to essentially dismiss Charles out of hand based on a brief instance .
He probably envisioned a spreading pool of black ink ruining the documents he was there to sign.

WTF is with this dude and his pretentious and pompous saggy royal ass? What makes him think he can look down on, then rudely wave off with the flick of his hand insulting people to that extent ?

Move the fucking inkwell yourself.
