Quebec's elected officials must swear oath to King Charles to sit in National Assembly

Reuters

Quebec National Assembly speaker ruled on Tuesday that all elected members must swear an oath to King Charles and not just to the people of Quebec in order to perform their duties in the predominantly French-speaking Canadian province.

HM The Queen Consort's cypher is really pretty. I wish that the C wasn't so covered by the R though. It would have been cool if either the top or bottom curve of the C overlay the R.

My eyes went into the letter R and barely noticed the letter C. Still, nice cypher.
 
It's interesting that it uses a slightly different design of the heraldic crown. The arches are the same general shape as on Queen Elizabeth's crown, though on her cypher and elsewhere she used the Tudor crown, as her husband did.

It's a very graceful cypher, and does give the impression that the "C" (Camilla) is effacing itself a bit. I wonder if that was intentional, since Charles and Camilla have the same initial.

That may well be the case. Visually, to me, the emphasis is on the R and not the C.
 
On his 74th birthday, today, November 14, it was announced that King Charles "has officially become Park Ranger of Windsor Great Park, 70 years after his father, The Duke of Edinburgh, was appointed to the post.

The Ranger offers guidance to the Deputy Ranger and his team in the day-to-day stewardship of one of the country’s oldest estates."

Who has the authority to decide who will be the Ranger of Windsor Great Park? Is it within the Sovereign's gift or the decision lies with someone within the Crown Estate?
 
I wonder will this mean that the King will use Windsor as his late mother did as a weekend retreat?

To celebrate The King’s birthday, a 21 gun salute was fired on the Long Walk at Windsor Castle, with most of the mini-cannons being fired by local children
 
A very nice picture of the King in his element to go with announcing he's now Ranger for Windsor Great Park.

The idea of hosting the family lunch at BP was primarily to make it easy for the extended family to make it. Not quite sure what the availability of rooms at BP will be like given the ongoing building works, but if required, they could host the lunch at Windsor.

They could also do it at Clarence House if needed I’m sure.
 
I think it would be appropriate to do so. It always struck me that in some ways as much of a "family event" it was also a boss (aka Her late Majesty) inviting her senior staff around for a Christmas celebration - most of those present were either working royals, who by definition represented her, or children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of those (Lady Sarah and Earl Snowdon and families being the only ones who technically weren't but had been). So even if Charles doesn't feel the need to have a wide family celebration as the "new boss" IMO he should do something for those who won't be there at Sandringham.

Has a Christmas lunch for the royal relatives ever been held at Windsor Castle before?
 
I think Queen Elizabeth was going to host one at Windsor before it got cancelled due to Covid cases spiking.

Edit - Queen Elizabeth was going to host the pre-Christmas lunch at Windsor in 2021

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59683343

The Queen has cancelled her traditional pre-Christmas lunch for extended family as a precautionary measure following the UK's surge in Omicron cases.

A source said it was felt the annual event could put too many people's Christmas plans at risk.

It follows England chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty's advice to prioritise events "that really matter" to avoid the risk of infection.

The event had been due to take place early next week at Windsor Castle.
