The reason none of my wips get finished

[heir-less]

I feel like the people who are coming out and saying that Anne ever complained and always gets the job done without making a fuss have a very selective memory . . .

First of all because Anne, as blood royal and daughter of the Queen, was offered protections that just aren't offered to the women marrying into the family. Also, Anne did complain about the media, she did complain about other members getting unfair treatment, and she did sometimes lose her cool and get emotional. Anne is known for being extremely opinionated with a cutting wit, that's why people like her. She was literally nicknamed Her Royal Rudeness as a young adult and instances of rude behaviour follow her to this day.

So to see her being praised as a spare who's kept it stoic and reserved while also praising her for her wit and outspoken nature feels like a joke. Anne, is in her 70s and is married happily, she is generally liked but is not always the center of attention. There is very little for her to be upset about. However, if Anne was younger and was getting the same media criticism as, say, Meghan, she'd openly express her displeasure. Maybe in a different way, she'd never leave the BRF, but you'd hear about it.

It's honestly so endearing that Kate is so soft spoken and not a great public speaker. Because honestly, same.

50 YEARS OF QUEEN MARGRETHE II OF DENMARK

At 7:50 pm CET on 14 January 1972, King Frederik IX of Denmark dies at the Copenhagen Municipal Hospital. His eldest daughter, 31-year-old Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid, succeeds him as Margrethe II and becomes the first ever female Danish monarch.

Contrary to popular belief, the 14th century Scandinavian regent and founder of the Kalmar Union, Margrete Valdemarsdatter, who is widely known as Margrethe I, was never actually crowned queen in her own right. However, upon Margrethe II’s accession in 1972, she opted to be known as Margrethe II in recognition of Margrethe I’s importance to Danish history.

On 14 January 2022, Queen Margrethe II celebrates her Golden Jubilee. Having reigned for exactly 50 years, Queen Margrethe II is the second longest-serving monarch in Danish history – only surpassed by Christian IV who reigned for 59 years and 330 days after having succeeded to the throne at the age of 11.

Imagine William II and Henry I watching the modern day Willy and Harold go at it lmaoooo

The British Monarchy is truly history just always repeating itsself.

Guys, remember. William can talk. He can. The palace issued statements about Kate getting botox. And Charles had a sit down interview, too.

[roseficent]

the amount of people making fun of an almost 40 year old man physically attacking someone else is disgusting.

Full stop. This isn't the kind of shit you did with your siblings when you were like 8 or 12 or 16. At his grown ass age, like be so fucking for real right now.

I think the media really showed their hands in the past 24 hours. Public reaction was, again, supportive of Meghan. Writers, reporters, women and POC all went online to show the media that they are only proving Harry and Meghan's point.

So, what does the media do? Make up stories! Pull out their trump card - Kate!

Also, notice how that Politico piece came out Monday. The day after Andrew joined the entire British Royall Family for Christmas?

Normalize not forcing people to choose you. If they think they can find better elsewhere – let them. Respectfully.

Royal bloggers posting the royal family walkabouts but conveniently leaving out Prince Andrew. And that he was there with the family.

And that Charles did not kick him out and is not going to address anything and is going to welcome his brother and pay for his security personally.
