railfancwb Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Have read that a lot of people wished that Charles had said “Thanks but I’ll pass.” and let William become king. What would happen if Statesiders started throwing eggs at our “royalty”? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Screw ‘Em. They stole my family’s land in 45. Burned all the parishes along with the land deeds. Then claimed it for the crown. We were yeomen farmers. Not landed gentry. Commoners who worked, saved and bought their own farms. The whole bunch of inbred Germans can rot in hell. Where do I send more eggs? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I though it was maybe because she's his second wife. But then I found out that she's not really the queen because you can't inherit the throne if you marry into the royal family. I think they'd have to be brother and sister tor her to be queen. There's always been a certain amount of inbreeding in the British royal family. It's just like Prince Phillip who was married to Queen Elizabeth and was only considered a prince and not King Phillip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Walked through an ancient cemetery on what once was a plantation in rural west Tennessee. Two things caught my eye. First, how many infants were buried there. Second, how many gravestones said “______ ______” consort of “______ ______” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In early American cemeteries Alice Smith Consort of John Smith would mean John and Alice were married and Alice died before John. Usually no other information was put on her headstone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childbirth was a major killer of women for a long time. A man might outlast two or even three wives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man might outlast two or even three wives. Uncle Harvey just turned 90. His wife died earlier this year. He was married to my mom's sister for 53 years I think and to Francis, his second wife, for maybe 12-14 years. One of the saddest things he said to one of his daughters shortly after was "I didn't think I would be burying a second wife." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
