#9 Was watching the movie Ike the other week and it boggled my mind seeing Queen Elizabeth (acted) sitting in for the final Overlord briefing.

Amazing.

#12 The subhuman woke crowd is already celebrating. Is it too much to hope that the soccer hooligans beat them to death or nail them to something?

#19 Overall, both Lords and Knights are created by the Sovereign, with the intention of recognizing the person and sometimes their family for a variety of different reasons - There is also the ability to demote, and render the previously recognized as no longer recognizable by the Sovereign...for behaviors, pronouncements, character...

#20 Prince Harry is one, who was demoted, but because of the new line of succession, he can now use the term, HRH (His Royal Highness) because he and his family have moved up the line of succession'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children can use new royal titles upon Queen's death

#23 Prince William will now soon get the title of Prince of Wales (in addition to his other titles) but this requires a specific granting by Charles III.

Harry is currently Duke of Sussex, notwithstanding his non performance of his 'royal duties'. The title of Duke of York is already taken by Prince Andrew. I don't think Harry gets anything else.

#26 Witnessed her world go rad,
from London to Londona-bad.
Served her folks as best
she could, maybe even more.
Now we lay her down to rest;
this ould Lady of yore.
She leaves on the throne a fool,
a putz, a moslem tool.
He has this kid? Bloke's woke,
defected to Wakandan rule!

And a generation of suckers whose only question will be 'ooh what will the Duchess of Nothing be wearing at the wake?'
