Queen to abdicate...

[LoveCurryPies]

...rather than meet Donald Trump?

[Pstotto]

it's worth Donald trump being in power, just to annoy the pc. fascists. Just look at the Turner Prize nominees. How we need an art revolution to pulverize those that value making art a political pawn and not a very good one, at that. In fact the worst art ever made to be lauded in public in the history of anything visual. Lubaina Himid's work is not even O level standard, let alone a Turner Prize nominee.

Ah is this related to the meeting she's arranged?

[LoveCurryPies]

I suspect Queen is to announce job cuts following Brexit. No more free dinners for the European ministers?

Agree with you Pstotto....not an ounce of craftsmanship in any of the Turner nominated work.

Rumours abound that Prince Phillip has fallen from his perch.

Another Bank Holiday, everyone?

Duke of Edinburgh to retire from royal duties

[ClaretTony]

Rumours abound that Prince Phillip has fallen from his perch.

Another Bank Holiday, everyone?

They've certainly issued a statement to confirm he will not be fulfilling any engagements from autumn

[lucs86]

Phillip's retiring from royal duties in Autumn. Not exciting.

[dermotdermot]

Is that it?

[dermotdermot]

So why all the melodrama?

[claretdom]

Prince Andrew might have to put a days work in

[Manceau]

Surprised at the timing of this, just as casual racism is coming back into fashion.

[NottsClaret]

They're all moving back to Germany, pre-Brexit?

They have both done a magnificent job. "God save the queen"

[dermotdermot]

A Royalist!

Prince Andrew might have to put a days work in

Andrew is the busiest Royal after Anne. Works over 200 days a year like the rest of us.

As people in their 90s the Queen and Prince Philip should be able to sit back and watch the others do the work. Charles is getting into retirement age territory too.

[Rick_Muller]

was anyone else mildly disappointed that we aren't going to have a day off soon...? or was it just me that had that thought when the news was breaking...

[hampsteadclaret]

17.. - so...swanning around on free flights, playing loads of [cr@p] golf with other wealthy dossers, followed by 20 fat G&Ts and a big free spread is work is it..?

Where do you apply for a 'job' like that?

This poster needs certifying. I sense a hint of derangement.

That is my boss's job description too. It wasn't when he started the company, obviously, but it is what he does now his company has a turnover of over £250m a year.
