My post had nothing to with the Wales vs Sussex . whether racing or not. If you had bothered to read the posts above yours you would have seen Sylvia's about reading a bunch of articles about the same thing. I saw it from 2 sources & both acted like it was cute. I personally thought 9 was old enough not to engage on "my dad is bigger/stronger/richer/etc than your dad" but I guess not.A brand new thread and it only takes six posts before you're racing in here to further fuel the Wales vs Sussex
None of us were there, so unless there is a recording of some kind and we know more about what led up to this, then I suggest we all give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's a bratty child who runs around threatening to have his schoolmates heads chopped off, who knows. Or maybe the other kid was taunting him, perhaps repeatedly, until he felt the need to say something he thought would shut the other kid up. I can imagine that whatever school he's in is full of children whose parents are titled, famous, rich, and/or highly accomplished, which could lead to a lot of oneupmanship in the schoolyard.
Also, maybe it's nothing, but he's also likely going to be king eventually, so why didn't he say that? This suggests that the tussle might have been centred on whose father is better/stronger/smarter/cooler/more handsome/could beat the other one up, and if that's the case, why not play your ace?
9 years old is 4th grade - that's exactly the age I'd expect that sort of oneupsmanship to be happening. And, really, there's just so much context lacking in the reports that it's hardly our place to judge whether it was cute or bratty (same goes for the tabloids that reported it).My post had nothing to with the Wales vs Sussex . whether racing or not.

I don't have kids, but just judged by my little brothers. But that's been a long time ago that they were small, so OK, I prob don't know what I'm talking about.9 years old is 4th grade - that's exactly the age I'd expect that sort of oneupsmanship to be happening.

I dont think money typically has smiling faces? At least what I see on US coins.It's not the most flattering profile, but one assumes he approved it. Maybe he wanted to look serious?
Well, Kate is wearing heels, but, it does appear that she is an inch or so taller than Charles if they were both in their bare feet, lol.The official photo of the King and Queen Consort with the Prince and Princess of Wales has just been published.
Lovely photo. Also, Charles III is shorter than William……and Kate?
It is a nice photo but my feed made a big deal about all the PDA. I had to look twice to see to what they referred. Kate's arm is behind William so she may have her hand touching his back. /clutches pearls And Charles & Camilla are actually side by side touching. It's stupid what the tabloids will make a big deal of. I obviously need to find another news site.The official photo of the King and Queen Consort with the Prince and Princess of Wales has just been published.

Just out of curiosity, why does it take so long? I understand planning would be necessary, but seven months?And we have a date for King Charles III's coronation! May 6, 2023
Most British coronations have taken place more than a year after the accession of the new monarch - in part because of the time it takes to plan, but, also because they seem to prefer to have the coronation during the late spring or summer - probably to increase the chances of good weather versus rain. Of course, it rained and rained the day of QEII's coronation, which was June 2, 1953, lol.Just out of curiosity, why does it take so long? I understand planning would be necessary, but seven months?
They have to wait until a respectful amount of time has passed from the World Team Trophy.Just out of curiosity, why does it take so long? I understand planning would be necessary, but seven months?
So far, "sources" are saying that the plan is to have only 2,000 guests in attendance (compared to 8,000 who attended Queen Elizabeth's) and that it'll be a much shorter affair (Queen Elizabeth's was 3 hours, the plan seems to be to cut it down to one). https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/10/king-charles-smaller-coronation-still-be-a-spectacleGiven the situation in the country, I sure hope the (taxpayer-funded) coronation is also done on a budget. So far, King Charles seems to be talking the talk; hopefully he also walks the walk.
That will be interesting. Will all the royals and nobles wear crowns like they did for Elizabeth? It looked so strange.So far, "sources" are saying that the plan is to have only 2,000 guests in attendance (compared to 8,000 who attended Queen Elizabeth's) and that it'll be a much shorter affair (Queen Elizabeth's was 3 hours, the plan seems to be to cut it down to one). https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/10/king-charles-smaller-coronation-still-be-a-spectacle
Many less hereditary peers and MPs seems to be the plan. It would make sense for just the royal peers (the Prince of Wales, Duke of Sussex, Duke of York, Earl of Wessex, Duke of Gloucester, and Duke of Kent) and then the senior-most hereditary peer of each rank (Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons) present to swear their fealty to the king on behalf of the rest of the peers of the realm. Plus their spouses, of course.Would this lesser number of invitees mean many less members of nobility will be invited/participate?
I loved that show!Being a fan of The Nanny, I want to see Charles Shaughnessy, a/k/a 5th Baron Shaughnessy there. LOL
Every now and then I watch General Hospital - he is on - as Victor Cassadine - a bad guy. But he is so charming and has aged well.Being a fan of The Nanny, I want to see Charles Shaughnessy, a/k/a 5th Baron Shaughnessy there. LOL
We finally got some (British) tiaras again. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celeb...-jenny-packham-gown-queen-elizabeth-bracelet/
Not gonna lie, I think the way Camilla wore the sapphire parure is much better than the way QEII wore it. She switched out the earrings - smaller & oval vs. gigantic teardrops; and she removed the big pendant drop from the necklace. It doesn't overwhelm her the way they did on QEII.That sapphire set is
