(I suppose i could have watched it with the sound down....   I have only just thought of that...  but I panicked & told Mr D to turn it over)

 

 

Ok...  this post is a bit mood hoovery...     no sad smilies or anything required...    just saying (besides... the little girl that died would not be happy about sad faces...  she banned sad faces from her funeral)

Anyway, I thought Prince Charles used to go jogging so checked it out. 

 

Came across this on another forum and nicked it, for everyone's amusement - or not

 

Prince Charles decided to take up jogging.
Every day, he'd jog past a hooker standing on the same street corner.

He learned to brace himself as he approached her for what was almost certain to follow.

"One hundred and fifty pounds!" she'd shout from the kerb.

"No! five pounds!" He would fire back, just to shut her up.

This ritual between him and the hooker became a daily occurrence.

He'd run by and she'd yell, "One hundred and Fifty Pounds!"

He'd yell back, "Five pounds!"

One day, Camilla decided that she wanted to accompany her 'husband' on his jog. As the jogging couple neared the working woman's street corner, Prince Charles realised she'd bark her ÂĢ150 offer and Camilla would wonder what he'd really been doing on all his past outings. He figured he'd better have a good explanation for his wife.

As they jogged into the turn that would take them past the corner, he became even more apprehensive than usual. Sure enough, there was the hooker. He tried to avoid the prostitute's eyes as she watched the pair jog past.

Then, from her corner, the hooker yelled, "See what you get for your five pounds, you tight git?!

He has the knack of knowing how to do the right thing and has that common touch. But at the same time he is aware of royal protocol.

Hmm, forgive my cynicism!

 

Prince Charles was presented like that back in the day.  He could break dance and liked the Three Degrees! He was down with discotheque set and went jogging on Bondi Beach.  He was caring and sharing and talked to his plants.  He even presented kid's story show, Jackanory.  Diana apparently advised him to wear single breasted suits, not like the stuffy old generation of royals.  What a nice bloke!

IMO really not the same at all. We all knew Charles was a stuffed shirt - he always looked a bit of a div when he was trying to look cool. As I said ................notv the same at all IMO.

I'm sure someone said he's just not keen on wearing jewellery, except his watch.

Ah, I was wondering if it was a protocol thing again. Thanks Yogi

I was trying to find the words to say exactly the same thing. There are more anti threads than pro threads so just piss off.

He definitely teases William (because he mustn't sneak a peep, I suppose).

There were many bits that I loved about today - this was one of them

It was as if he couldn't resist.....and did his a bro a favour by just checking...

 

Then again, I bet Wills was super confident about how she would look.

According to a lipreader he said "Right Will, she's here now"

 

But yours would have been better

 

Oh well done, Miss S   I knew it was something 'positive' by the expression on Harry's face.

That was presented as his charm and endearing awkwardness.  Of course they're not the same, I'm just pointing out that the state funded royal PR machine was working its magic back in 1981.

Its Eugenie I can't get over - why did she think that was a good look

I know Miss S, they both looked terrible.

That's not very friendly on this wonderful day for all patriots, is it?  God's representatives on Earth have got married for the wonderment of all us great unwashed little people! I thought you'd be full of goodwill bonhomie to all!

 

Anyway, I'm orrfff, forelock untugged and all!

A snippet from the Daily Mail:

 

Among all the fantastic outfits and array of dizzying hats on display at the Royal Wedding, there were unfortunately a few that failed to pass muster.

Leading the way in the fashion faux pas were Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, who chose bravely but perhaps unwisely judging by the response of royal fans and pundits.

The girls are known to love experimenting with fashion, but perhaps today wasn't the time.

Beatrice's taupe Valentino Haute Couture dress and matching coat were elegant, but her headpiece was deemed to be a ludicrous addition, perching on her forehead at an impossible angle and detracting from her sophisticated outfit.

Her hat, which celebrity bridal stylist Camilla Ridley-Day suggests was the wrong shape for her face, has already sparked a Facebook group named Princess Beatrice's Ridiculous Hat, with members mocking up pictures of the Princess with monsters on her head

it was a bit rude TBH but ...........why bring negativity into a nice thread when there are plenty of more sneeering threads that it would have been applauded?

I don't think they are ungainly ... when they got out of the car to go into the palace they both held their heads up and walked beautifully and elegantly. 

 

Someone advised them very badly today

The official reason is "He isn't one for jewellery."

It's certainly not protocol - Charles wears a wedding ring. However it's not that common either (Prince Philip doesn't).

Men wearing wedding rings is a suprisingly new thing - it only became really common in the post-war years. My father doesn't wear a ring, and I've known a few older work colleagues who don't wear one.

I don't think Men wore wedding rings til the 70's (I may be wrong).....and the Royals would stick to Historical tradition....

Anyways, loved reading the thread back, you guys always have great banter!
