Espadrilles, she has the height to carry off flats. But I think it would be hard to look appropriate when everyone else is wearing pink speedos:lol:
One thing I notice about W&K is they genuinely seem to have a laugh together, a lot of royal couples seem quite aloof, they dont. |

That is ugly lady, not how you or anyone else looks, its your gutter gob. |

OK I'm sorry but I have to disagree and stick with my first claim that Britain would indeed be pretty much worthless without the Royal Family.
Britain in 2014 hasn't got that much going for it

Theses places really are something else, most of which are owned, looked after to a high standard and protected by the Monarch. Were these lands not protected, I'm sure that someone in Government would have sold them on by now, maybe to an Arab or whoever, or maybe built on them to house new immigrants and the ever growing population. As it stands today, nothing of the sort can be done to these beautiful landscapes. Most are Crown lands and therefore protected against such absurdities. I won't answer the rest of you points as I promised I wouldn't be silly and try and change your mind, and I'm much more interested in Australian democracy and governance when it comes to this topic. I shall leave your mob to decide your fate as it is a totally different discussion to the question of foreign royals representing Australia. :) |

Are you sure ? We have crown land here in Australia and while it means it is nominally the land of the monarch, in reality all control of it is performed by the govt. I thought in the UK the crown estates were given back to the govt a long time ago and crown land in general is administered by the govt.

I shall leave your mob to decide your fate as it is a totally different discussion to the question of foreign royals representing Australia. :) I think it varies depending which Commonwealth country, I know it's different in Canada and probably in Australia too. Here it's an independent organisation that deals with the land called the Crown Estate Commissionaires. The Queen does own the land but she doesn't have the right to sell it. The Government can't sell it either, however I think they could put plans forward for the land under exceptional circumstances, then it would be up to the CEC to decided on the fate of the land. I'd never change my mind about my beliefs to do with this subject. I feel very passionate about it, :britflag:which on top of me being a stubborn and a strong willed mare, I can tell you now you'd just be wasting your time.:p:D May I just add to that though that It doesn't bother me in any way if Australia want out of the Commonwealth, I can sort of understand them not being pro Royal over there. By the way, a totally unrelated subject now - did you ever get that camera for your bike and if yes is it any good? |

- becoming a republic would not mean leaving the commonwealth. The majority of nations in the commonwealth are republics. - wanting a republic isn't necessarily anti royal (not that you said that). Just wanted to emphasise that you don't have to be anti royal to think they no longer belong as a part of the democractic political/head of state process. They could still have a ceremonial and tourist role in the uk for example.

I think mine is coming in May :fingerscrossed: I did get this last week for picking the 3 year old up from pre-kindy though :thumbsup: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2912/...00494e12_b.jpgWeeHoo iGo Pro by fish.2, on Flickr Yeah it was the one from Kickstarter. I just wondered if it was any good, you must let me know if you remember. Oh yes, very nice, :) I bet your little one enjoys it in there. Is that a bag on the back, the red bit? Did you get it from Kickstarter? |

Kindy stuff going into them for the trip home. She has the option to pedal and contribute if she feels like it or, more likely, sit back and eat an apple or something :) Bought it at my LBS. |

Re: OMG they are here!!!!!!
Losing the Royal family would be a huge blow for this country, it wouldnt be the end by any means as there are millions of other things that make the coutry great but it would be a sad day. I dont see it ever happening in the same way I dont see Australia becoming a republic.

Re: OMG they are here!!!!!!
Whilst not an ardent fan of certain royals, I do admire the Queen, and the steadfastness she has shown doing her duty and being a calm head in stormy waters. She is greatly respected as a constant figure in the enormous comings and goings of assorted heads of state and politicians throughout her reign, and leaders do discuss things with her in private, so although she has very few constitutional powers, her advice is something that is considered carefully.
The generation of royals of my age are a bit of a waste of space, though I do like HRH the Princess Royal, whom I have met and who is a very no nonsense down to earth woman who guards her privacy and has tried to bring up her children in as "normal" a manner as she can. (And as a horse mad kid she let me feed her horses after I had held hers when she fell off at the local horse trials!!) I hope that William and Catherine do not blot their copybook- think she is coping well with the media frenzy. Far more well adjusted than Diana thank goodness. |

One thing about the queen, dignity, puts on that 'royal' front, no matter the situation. But a lot of ladies of that era are like that, my partners Australian Great Aunts in Sydney were charming, refined, from another era.... Not a big fan of any royal family, but the baby was very cute, looked more like a 2 year old wrestler than 8 month old:lol: . Loved his scowly face, like he was already looking down his nose at the subjects below:rofl: But while a million kids starved to death in the third world, we it they ? whoever showered one kid with a plane load of toys, cloaks, gems:blink:, its all very weird like we are back in the 15th century. |
