Discussion of what Beatrice and Eugenie do has been moved to the Duties and Roles of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie thread.
Its not that I don't want William protected, I specifically said I do, but all I am saying is that when there is a choice between two options, one of which will mean the taxpayer (or more specifically the taxpayers on North Wales) having to pay extra costs then William has to act in a mature and sensible way and seriously consider both options.
I re-watched The Queen last night. And a I wonder, is Charles really afraid of being assassinated as portrayed in the film?
I re-watched The Queen last night and I wonder about the scene where she drives herself to catch up with the hunting party. (She wrecks the land rover in the creek.) In the film she is all by herself. Is that realistic? Would she not have had at least one policeman with her?
My feelings during that week was that there was a real chance that someone would take a shot at Charles and/or the Queen at the funeral - not from the film but from actually watching the crowds and seeing the way they were being whipped to a frenzy by the press.
Today I was watching All the Queen's Horses and it sad that while Elizabeth II was out on her horse she was shot at but the man missed. I know that there was another attempt in Australia. Are there any other attempted assassinations on Elizabeth II or on any other royals?
Plot to kill the Queen: Australian gang 'tried to derail the royal train' | Mail Online
This is where I heard about the one in Australia
I'm very glad the train was not derailed because many could have been injured or even killed, but on the basis of that article I'm not persuaded it was an assassination attempt.
