Who do we get as prince of Wales? 

Probably ****ing Andrew I bet.

It will be William but it's not automatic

As Rafa said, It's in the Kings gift to make his first born son Prince of Wales.

It is probably going to happen, but it's not guaranteed.

For many of us - today is the end of a era, because we have known nothing else but Lizzy being queen. The worrying is that the portents for the start of this new era aren't looking particularly good - for most of us.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say nobody on this forum has known any other monarch on the British throne.

Quick count on Wiki shows 13 British monarchs. But easily gets to 37 when you go back before the Acts of Union.

I specifically said British. Its different if you include all the English ones yeah.

Anyone seen the story of Jaki of Jaki's Chip shop in Muir of Ord? Just search Jaki on twitter

I don't get what she gained from this, like love, it's one day, restrain yourself but don't act stunted when your public actions have consequences.

Found the Japanese one and it's got train news on instead. The disrespectful Yanks can't even be bothered to wear a black tie and the male presenters haven't even toned down their makeup. 

Japan Railway Journal. Best programme on that channel :cool:

That woman professor in Pittburgh may face consequences too. Her college have distanced themselves from her. Whether she'll get the sack, I dunno. I'm not sure Jaki's chip shop will do too well

I did just watch a tribute to the Queen's reign on BBC1.

I don't think she was too bad actually. Maybe I'm just getting soppy as I get old.

She seemed to learn from moments that were poorly done.

There'll always be division on the monarchy. It probably does need to change with the times but tonight I wonder if it is as bad as I've often thought of it. Some parts are, of course.

If she's tenured she'll be tough to dislodge.

It is a private university though, so they'd have more room to sack her than a public university would.

This really does just read as 'I've been emotionally manipulated really well today' :D
