Bibliogryphon 9,579 Posted December 9, 2013 I see that Charles will represent the Queen at Nelson Mandela's funeral. He propbably wanted to get some practice in before the two big ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted December 9, 2013 I see that Charles will represent the Queen at Nelson Mandela's funeral. He propbably wanted to get some practice in before the two big ones. Yeah but doesn't the fact that the Queen doesn't want to fly to SA show maybe she isn't as robust as we all thought? I'm surprised such a flurry of speculation hasn't already appeared in this thread.

No No.... As a general rule the Queen does not do funerals. If she started going to foreign dignitaries funerals there would be a careful analysis of each decision to see if there was a snub. She didn't even go to Pope John Paul II funeral and sent Charles to get photomugged by Robert Mugabe. Queen not a contender for 2014. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought it was more a case of she doesn't go to foreign funerals in case someone there is armed with a snub....... nosed revolver.

I just had no idea that they had a King called Wilhelm and I'm not in a googling mood today. So yeah. Be more clear next time, Oblique-tron 9000. (just kidding.

According to Dutch sources King WIllem-Alexander will attend Tuesday's remembrance service in Johannesburg. It's not known yet who will represent the Dutch government at the funeral. regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
