Becks was knighted today.

I really wish William would’ve done the investiture, but oh well.

Continuing from your latest post, the Wailers’ current drivel is Charles is Sabotaging the Waleses by not allowing them to use the proper PoW stationeries, depriving William from an Investiture, and did not invite William to VJ memorial 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idk about the Stationery, frankly I don’t pay them enough attention but there is one brain cell between them. Imagine if Charles held a proper prince of wales (for someone who doesn’t even bother to learn the language) investiture, I think the public will be angrier and they will probably demand a republic in an instant. Also how do we know that Charles didn’t invite him? LOL. The invite probably lost in the mail as they’re gallivanting under the Mediterranean sun.

It's the Russian bots' fault, don't ya know? LOL!

Speaking of investitures, here's what the investiture schedule looked like twenty years ago, back in 2005.

For 26 investitures, Anne only did one while she was overseas in Papua New Guinea. You know, the country Edward is visiting next month when it should be William doing that job.

Most investitures were done by Queen Elizabeth II while she was a spry 79 years of age. Typically there were less than 30 investitures per year from 1997 to 2012, including investitures done overseas.

Anne started doing a few regular investitures back in 2009, likely when QEII wanted to reduce the amount of time she spent standing.

It's not surprising that after reaching 82 years that QEII would want to start decreasing her work load. Anne picked up a few (about five or less) until they could get William to start doing some regular royal duties in 2013.

Anne didn't do more than six investitures a year until 2021.

Let that sink in.

Anne was never meant to be the primary person for investitures. She started doing much, much more of them in 2021 when a) they had to catch up and b) QEII was not physically able to do them. QEII's last investiture was 03 March 2020 at Buckingham Palace. However, Anne did 14 investitures in 2021, when he mother could no longer do them.

It's not surprising that Anne did so many because Philip died in spring 2021. Some covid restrictions were still in place. QEII could no longer stand for long periods of time as she could before.

William could have picked up more of the slack, except he didn't.

Remember, Charles took over all of QEII's overseas trips after she decided she was no longer going to travel out of the country. I can't remember when that was exactly, but probably after her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. That was one of the reasons why he didn't become the primary person for investitures in the 2010s.

William did a significant amount in 2018 and 2019, when he had to compete with his younger brother for attention, and in 2022, which was the Platinum Jubilee and QEII's passing. Otherwise, why didn't he do more investitures in 2023? Too busy with his vacation time, which was TWENTY WEEKS?!

And this notion that the UK government is handing out more honours today than they were in the past. Are they? I don't have the numbers on that, but I do have numbers that show the BRF started doing more overall investitures when William started doing them.

In 2013, when William started doing regular investitures, that's when the BRF started doing more than 30 investiture ceremonies per year. Previously, it was always less than thirty.

Is it really that the UK government is dishing out more honours? Or is it more that William's investitures feature less people than QEII, Charles, or Anne, which forces the issue of having more investitures?

Because if you watch THE KP TITANIC's social media, the focus is always on William, and not as much on the very few people he's honoring. Gotta have William walking in slow-mo up the stairs and into rooms!

Charles's schedule famously fills up about two years in advance. Meaning that when he ascended the throne in September 2022, his schedule was basically already set until 2024. In early 2024, he had to have things canceled and rearranged due to his actual cancer treatments.

But I have no doubt The Will & Kate CULT and their merry band of apologists are always ready to do Simone Biles' level of mental gymnastics to justify Will and Kate's inability to do work.

When did William "care" for his father? I seem to have missed that one, even in 2024.

Just more fantasy delusions from people who can't handle the obvious: their faves are fuckups!
