I think the British Royal Scandal involves Edward, not Charles |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-07-03 07:15 PM by joeybee12
Ok, we know it was a homosexual encounter between a Royal and a servant.
Charles came out today to deny everything, therefore, it focuses attention on him, and not on Edward. And, he's hoping that the story never makes it into print, and therefore, believeing that most people won't think that he (Charles) actually had a homosexual encounter, the story goes away, and Edward is in the clear.
Let's face it, the youngest of the three brothers is gay, and his marriage is a cover.
That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

1. That was my first thought |

If Charles were gay, it would be an improvement over the cow-face.

Charles really has to be straight to be attracted to a woman like that!

I would have said, 'William' but that kid as enough problems without that: he HAS to father an heir, regardless of his orientation.

12. I think it actually was Andrew. |
|
There have been stories about the Duke of York as well. And don't you find it odd that there's been no significant woman in his life since he and Sarah divorced SEVEN years ago? For a still youngish and reasonable good looking man, I don't know...

13. Have you seen "Meet the Royals"?? |
|
It's on one of the cable learning channels, and is hosted by Davie Jones of the Monkees. Anyway, he did an hour on Andrew a couple of weeks ago, and when they got to Andrew's life after Fergie, the narrative became far more vague. So you might be onto something here; I have no gaydar, so I can't tell about him. What surprised me about Andrew, is that he never drinks alchohol. You would think he is a party boy from hell.

It made the Duke seem to be quite shallow indeed. Anyway, I remember the gossip way back when he and Sarah first broke up. The story then was that she found out about his other lover(s) and they were not female. It was the reason why they had to get divorced, even tho' Sarah and Andrew remain very good friends even today. Apparently the discovery made their continued marriage untenable.

28. And Davie said at least three times, |

that Andrew's ladies all reported later that 'he wasn't exactly the greatest thing in bed'. That could be telling.
And with HIS looks, he must have just LAIN there, to be a turn off.

|
Seriously, really good looking people don't have to try to make people like them, so they don't put forth the effort in anything.
A study showed that the marriages that have the most problems are those between two really, really good looking people, because neither has had any experience in having to please other people.

32. Have you ever watched Blind Date? |
|
When there is a guy or girl who is incredibly good-looking, and he/she thinks the other is not up to his/her standards, that guy or girl is a real bitch. It's embarrassing what assholes they are, because they're used to being pampered, and if the other person does one thing wrong, a huge hissy-fit follows.

I'm not one to gossip ... so, I'll only repeat this once ... I seem to recall that ... back in the 80s I met and got to know someone in the military who served as escort to Prince Andrew during a visit to Washington, DC ... I'm almost sure I was told Andrew was/is Gay.
Of course, when Edward worked in West End theatre ... I thought it might be him ......
On an episode of AbFab, Patsy's sister visited on New Year's Eve and remarked about all English men being Gay ... and, Edwina's ex-husband's Gay lover said: 'if only'

full of stuff like that. It's been said for years that Edward is gay, as was the Duke of Windsor who abdicated his throne for the woman he loved. That relationship was a bit unusual too.:shrug:

Which they didn't mind (Lord Snowden is who I mean) but he actually wanted to be a practicing homosexual, and that caused problems.

10. And then there was Prince Eddy, George V's brother. |

And a dumb looking GET he was! But he died young, and Elizabeth Windsor's grandfather became king (who used to say with pleasure that 'he had never read a book'). Supposedly, Eddy's drag name was "Victoria"....

My ex-mum-in-law was a Brit. Tea cups with the empire cross and the Queen's jubilee and such. But such people do not want the Royals to go away. Chuck might be asked to go away if it's embarassing enough, maybe.

She comes from sturdy stock, and shows no sign of slowing down.
I do sort of feel bad for him--I guess she never showed him any affection as a child mainly because that wasn't proper protocol. Very cold to her kids, and he felt it most.

The Queen Mum hung on for quite a long time. And Liz is indeed a sturdy piece of work.
Chuck would be better out of it, in any case (IMHO). But we all need to get over our Mumsies at some point anyway in order to get on with our own business in life.
One does wonder if he really wants the job anyway? I think I would go nuts.

And they have the goods on him.
Or at least Diana did...and now her butler and friends do.
One more uproar to add to the soap opera the Royals have become.
Which could mean the elimination of the monarchy in the UK.
In other words...your ally is tanking folks.

Although Joan Rivers did a great bit about him on her album.
That poor Pricesss Di to be married off to a gay guy--he's waiting for the mother to die so he can be Queen.
And those ears! One burst of wind and he can hang glide over the Falklands.
Early 80's Joan Rivers humor.

are full of such behavior inflicted on young boys forced to be away from home all the time as hazing and bullying activities. It must really do a number on their developing awareness of sexuality and appropriate behaviors notwithstanding their real orientations.

Royal in dick only; the Queen's consort isn't really senior within the line. There's 2 seniors, one's a stocky old woman whose not denying anything, and there's this prince of a fellow, you see..
To bring BACK Fawcett after Diana's death is just begging the tabloids to pull the curtain away.
