[Khandro]

Is William right in supporting the sacking of his godmother?

It’s not great publicity for the ‘ new residents of Buckingham Palace .

[Atheist]

The Royal Family (aka The Firm) always look after their own interests. If a long-standing servant steps out of line and becomes an embarrassment, they are dumped.

[royfromaus]

Not read the thread...as anyone mentioned Mary Headley, yet?

[naomi24]

Atheist, this lady isn’t a servant.

[Atheist]

Naomi. What is/was she?

[naomi24]

She’s a lady in waiting - an honorary position. She’s a friend of the family and William’s Godmother.

[Atheist]

Thanks, Naomi.
Perhaps I should have written "If a long-standing friend of the family steps out of line and becomes an embarrassment, they are dumped."

[naomi24]

She won’t be dumped.

[Atheist]

Naomi; I thought she had already been dumped. She had to write a letter of apology, didn't she? If the Royals have any heart (and I'm sure they have in private) they'll probably make sure she's alright financially (if that's necessary). But the public image has to be protected, so there's no public defence of the lady from the Firm.

[naomi24]

She’s done what she needed to do as a PR exercise to keep happy the impotent woke who look for offence in everything. She won’t be dumped.

[Atheist]

Naomi; Some might say the you are 'woke'. You are highly alert to anything that offends your opinions, and you pounce on possible offenders before there is any sustainable evidence - you always take the same side; i.e. you are totally predictable. Set up any scenario and ask youself what side would Naomi come down on?and you'll probably guess corectly.
I'm sure you'll think the same of me.

[THECORBYLOON]

"She won’t be dumped." Do you know that for a fact?

[naomi24]

My faults are many, atheist.

[tiggerblue10]

I must say I had something similar happen to me where I was questioned about my ethnicity (being olive tone). At first I replied 'South London' and they then then replied 'no, but where do you originate from?'. So I told them where and they then said 'so you're not British then?'. Made me feel a bit awkward tbh and I then felt obliged to tell them all my background until they understood that I am actually British! Surely my Saff London accent was a giveaway, innit!

[Khandro]

As the redoubtable Lady Colin Campbell said tonight on GB News (be there or be square), Her dress is a total fabrication and her name, 'Ngozi Fulani' also, her actual name is Marlene - hee hee.

Gimee a break!

[Zacs-Master]

Her middle name is Hedley.

[Atheist]

Her name and her dress are completely unconnected with the whole affair.

[andy-hughes]

Don't worry atheist, there are enough on here blowing enough smoke that eventually, we will all understand that the victim of breathtaking rudeness and patronizing was entirely deserving of it, and should be flogged in public asap.

Stick around, this time tomorrow we'll be having Lady Hussey addressing parliament about the tragic results of the death of the Empire, and how 'foreigners' simply don't know their place anymore.
