The Royals

[BillyDee]

They are trying to repurpose as many as they can. Had to be told this soon for "legal reasons". Will be three months before anyone actually loses their job.

Majority of Charles Clarence House staff being made redundant could be up to 100, due to them not being needed now he’s king, and moves into buck house.
Got told the good news just after a memorial service for the queen.

Isn't it a procedural thing? Staff get made redundant for the Duchy before being re-employed by the crown.

 

[Keef]

Dunno, BBC and papers just said 100 made redundant, said some may get moved, most getting an enhanced redundancy package

Wife told me that (I believe for at least the 2nd time) Charles is considering moving out of Buck Palace cause he doesn't want to live there, and opening it up for the public. don't know where she read/heard/saw that...

Been talked about for a while.

The place is having a lot of work done on it and he isn't a fan of living there. The plan mentioned in the press is he would keep his current home as his official residence and use Buck House for official Royal duties, such as hosting guests etc. Essentially make it a head office

It’s the ‘great’ British public being the usual fucking idiots.
I’d love a job where I didn’t have to deal with them, or a job that lets you punch at least one of them a week when you’ve had enough of dealing with them.
30 years of bus driving makes you like that.

30 years of being a Housing Officer made me the same!

I know it's his mother but the nonce really does have no shame.

Afaik none of them have ever liked BP as a residence. Plus Balmoral, Sandringham, and even Windsor all have the advantage of being easier places to go about without direct pleb contact.

Was hoping this wasn't going to happen, but to be fair it's only to be expected:

What's he done now?
I mean you're right, he does have no shame. Part of the make up to be a nonce tbh...

 

[Kenny]

Presume it's because he has been named as 1 of the 5 who would step in and do the Kings duties when he is ill or on a tour outside of the UK

That’s terrible, I’ll have to wait a whole extra week, before I can be aware of what they are and what they do.
I know they eat them in Peru,
I know they used to farmed in Yoxall Staffordshire for vivisection experiments,

We do ceremony well don't we

Permission to steal that.

You might laugh but there is no Guinea Pig emoji on Facebook - exactly why the little peegs need awareness!

I thought he'd been stripped of his duties as a result of being a nonce?

Republicanism in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

Interesting history of polling on there, it appears that support for the Monarchy is falling, decade on decade.

I wonder how long it will be before there is a serous debate on whether we have one moving forward.

However the way that any negativity towards the Monarchy is currently being suppressed by the media and the police suggests it may be a lot further away than it should be.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've probably got anywhere between 30 and 50 years left on the planet, all being well. I don't expect there to be any kind of genuine republican movement in that timeframe.

Less than 30% in favour of a republic on that link.

Shows there's almost no appetite for it any time soon so you'll be disappointed in your lifetime.
