What a coincidence!

Breaking News.

A few days ago, Artangel started a thread called `One for the Republicans` and on that thread I passed a comment that the royal family should be disbanded when the queen died.

By sheer coincidence, the queen has signalled her intention to step down from the throne after her ninetieth birthday in May in favour of prince Charles. The palace has stipulated a condition that for Charles to ascend the throne, Camilla will not be granted the title of queen but rather the one of King's Consort. Apparently this condition has been discussed for the last few months and was finally agreed this week.

Interesting times ahead.

Re: What a coincidence!

Not for a second doubting your story, Judd but I went looking for a bit more info and could find nothing.
Where did you get this "Breaking News" ?


Going back about 6 months I did find this little gem though ...
"Queen Elizabeth may soon announce her retirement but don’t expect to see Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles crowned King and Queen.
Alleged palace sources say that the Queen’s retirement comes with one very important – and historic – stipulation –
Prince Charles will step aside and Prince William and Kate Middleton will the next to sit upon the throne of England as King and Queen
."


I thought Lizzie swore decades ago that she would never abdicate - that she'd 'serve' for life ?
Although. I guess everyone is entitled to change their mind.

Re: What a coincidence!

Is it me or does "King's Consort" sound a bit floosyish?

Yes, a bit like the charge of "consorting with criminals"

Re: What a coincidence!

Doh! I read Judd's post in the early hours and also went hunting for further information on it I thought he was up late posting too

Well done Judd, I'm not as clever as Meg seeing through people!

King Nom has a nice ring to it, and ive always fancied being a professional plaque unveiler or curtain opener.

Re: What a coincidence!

You rotten lot! I always believe every word Judd says, but I have to admit I did suspect he was playing a trick with this one
