Royalty

  • Prince William’s time is nearing

    Prince William has a lot before him, but it’s not clear what it is.

    He’s going to inherit a crown, of course, but beyond it, who is he, and what is he doing here?

    The buildings, money, and assets are beyond the essential point of any monarchy.

    It doesn’t matter what it is they have, as if it’s needful to itemise plunder. This is what rebels do.

    He’s got to be civilised, professional, and forward-thinking.

    It’s got to be useful, whatever he does. It’s also got to help, and to prove a way forward for a world in crisis.

    His mandate is a way out, not a way in, in some respects. He’s got to be a leader, in the old hue of kings.

  • Win: King’s finance advisor

    In a stunning result, ConservativeNewsSite.com can report the King’s financial advisor has been removed from harms way after being unlawfully disputed.

    He was spotted outside Downing Street in a resumption of his duties. He also helps the Crown Estate keep its finances and financial records safe.

  • Caught: Royal child snatcher

    A royal child snatcher was spotted in London late this afternoon.

    He’s under suspicion of plotting against an unspecified royal figure.

  • Prince Harry’s price to pay

    If a honeymoon proves fruitful, it’s time to prove yourself soon after.

    As any government also knows, the real work is sorting things out. It soon dawns there’s a price for everything, especially the choices made.

    It involves getting back to work, making ends meet, and making sure it makes sense to everyone else.

    Then, of course, there’s Prince Harry. It’s a different story for royalty.

    They’ve got lines to continue, more to come, and stuff left in the closet. If it isn’t a plan that’s afoot, it’s a plot written by someone else.

    The strong survive, and make headlines out of it. The rest bury the hatchet, and get on with life as it is.

  • The Queen & her people: Her unfaithful servants

    The matter of service is one that crops up in royalty as a problem all too often because it’s one of the few ways to get people to do a particular job for you, and since it doesn’t fall into any other categories and the work done is more serious than many jobs are, there are complications which can occur.

    It’s also an issue that where it takes place draws in all sorts of different people. It doesn’t involve spying but it requires a discrete sort of behaviour. There may be conversations, groups of people, or even events that need to be kept quiet. This is not to keep a secret, but to keep a matter safe.

    In the later periods of the reign of Queen Elizabeth 2 it didn’t go smoothly in this respect. There were political matters afoot that meant ‘leaking’ and ‘briefing’ all the wrong people took place. It was also a “curse” that documents kept going missing. It’s the sort of skullduggery of medieval times.

    The other phenomenon involved senior managers, public servants, and civil servants aligning to the wrong agenda. It’s the sort of espionage states like Russia choose to engage in because it’s safer and more efficient. The recruitment happened remotely and the work given undetected.

    An example of recruitment propaganda

    In our times most people with an important job are taken as being necessary to how the nation is governed. It just so happens other people know this too, and they’re our enemies. The confusion that results in some parts of society apart from a political system happens because of this sort of activity.

    It may be an image, an advert, or a person that proves to be the recruitment ‘ad’ and it starts a journey into working for the other side. It may be for an overseas company, figure, or even government. Its purpose is to achieve the same as defectors have before, a sort of harm to our own country.

  • Caught: QE2 harassers

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a trio of activists who harassed Queen Elizabeth 2 have been spotted.

    They were seen loitering at a Remembrance event in London yesterday, attended by senior Royalty and public figures.

  • The Queen & her people: Her Gaza moment

    It was a long time ago that Queen Elizabeth 2 came face to face with the situation in Gaza. She hadn’t been, but it came careening at her on Queen’s Gate street in central London.

    It started with a lone girl, and then descended into a confrontation. Ironically, she’d visited the area to speak to a longtime friend about international social justice issues.

    The small group that formed around her on the pavement were shouting, and barking different things at her. They wouldn’t let up and she grew nervous because of the confrontation.

    She did not shout, and didn’t want to draw more attention to the scene than was necessary. A few police officers were nearby, and she was able to get their help to resolve it, and restore peace.

    “The thing was, they kept shouting “Gaza!””, she said afterwards, and didn’t know what the “fuss” was about. After all, she spoke about places like that with her friend all the time.

    It wasn’t new to her, or a novelty. She understood the ramifications of all the conflicts, skirmishes, and types of confrontation they’ve had. It was she was just confused by this one.

  • Harry vs. Trump?

    The saga of Prince Harry’s life is alleged to take a turn soon.

    The election of Donald Trump puts back into focus a President who hasn’t got the nicest of things to say about him.

    In a time when royalty rides off nice things being said, it’s not a good outlook.

    Neither are the articles that damn him for choosing a TV actress who doesn’t act that well.

  • Chaos as Spanish King visits flood-hit town

    The King of Spain has encountered an angry mob of protesters as he visited flood hit areas.

    Today King Felipe VI visited Paiporta, but had mud pelted at him as a furious crowd raged with shovels.

    He’d visited due to flooding, but it turned nasty as people shouted, and those gathered berated him.

    In scenes shared online, aides are seen dodging mud, while the royal is shown chatting to people.

  • A long demise of English royalty?

    It’s not easy being anything today, not least inheriting a crown. The more vocal think it’s fake. The less thoughtful believe it’s useless. In-between are those who still want their job. It doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere.

    The reality is overlooked for a short term opinion. It makes sense, and it may even make a buck. The truth is it’s nefarious. It disrupts ordinary daily life, and spreads ill feeling in those who know it’s true.

    I’ve met people who are disappointed because King Charles has been hated on by powerful people. They’re also annoyed because the least powerful do it too. It sort of runs in the national family.

  • The lamentations of Harry

    There’s a sense family fortunes differ, as also recollections. The stuffing of his father, and late grandmother, has left old Harry in a parlous state of affairs.

    What isn’t clear as yet is how far his reputation will be harmed by his father’s trip overseas to Australia. It’s going well, by all accounts, and his didn’t.

    His woes started with a shortened stay in Canada, and then deepened by a drugs accusation in the US. He’s now allegedly on the hunt for a place in Portugal.

    The recent protests against tourism in Europe won’t help a beleaguered and pressured Prince to find a place. He may be thrown out for being too English.
