DCI Frank Burnside 3,870 Posted February 28, 2021 Hmm he was in 4 days for the urinary tract infection a few years ago. He's now been in 3 times as long for what we've been told is an infection after being initially told it was a precautionary admission for observation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to be the bearer (pun) of bad news, but I think he'll be trotting out with a new spring in his step. BTW... RIP Mike Baldwin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do hope they were discussing the future of the Royal Family though, in particular how by right the House of Windsor should end with the current reign when the House of Mountbatten succeeds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I've always (ALWAYS!!) wondered about this. I mean, the House terminology was always very precise, i.e. House of York / Lancaster even though they were both basically House of Plantagenet. Or more similarly, House Windsor (or Saxo-Coburg-Gotha) was House Hanover, until the death of Queen Victoria. So yes, with Charles House Mountbatten would begin. Yet, I think they are not going to change it. The male line is a bit anachronistic today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet, I think they are not going to change it. The male line is a bit anachronistic today. I think they originally moved to goalposts because nobody liked the Moutbattens (who were Battenburgs until 1917) because they were too foreign. Churchill hated the idea of a House of Mountbatten. If you look at every major house in peacetime, they ‘ended with a lass’. The Tudors ended with Elizabeth I. The Stuarts ended with Queen Anne (although it could be claimed the House of Orange ended the House of Stuart in 1688/9). The Hanoverians ended with Queen Victoria. The only practical reason I can see for not allowing the House of Mountbatten to succeed is the recent change to allow female born heirs to be placed in order of birth before younger brothers because: a) if you had three Queen Regnant in a row like in Holland the royal house would have to change more frequently. b) let’s say William was a girl and he married Mr Middleton. As Royals start marrying more middle class do we want a House of Middleton or a House of Smith? These are the things that keep me awake at night... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 295 Posted March 1, 2021 Has the Queen been moved to action yet though? She seems very sanguine about the whole thing, she was on a Zoom call with NHS staff a couple of days ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
