Compassionate leave from work?! Now I really have heard it all! She may not be Queen but she certainly acts like a spoilt princess!
She's on leave from work. The media have dubbed it "compassionate leave". I doubt that her employer has issued a press release discussing the type of leave she's taking.Little_star said:Compassionate leave from work?!

It seems as if they made up the 'class' story, just so they could debunk it a couple of days later with the William is horrified story! Do you think I am becoming a little cynical!Warren said:keep in mind that the same tabloids have been known to - gasp! - make things up.
Skydragon said:I had to attend a 'function' this morning, (ugh early morning) and the general agreement was that the majority of people say 'hello' when being introduced, (hello ma'am to HM). Nobody uses the word 'toilet', most used 'loo'.
Lav, lave and bog are an absolute no no.
I will probably get shot down as a snob, but it is seen as OK for someone of a higher class to say it to someone from a lower class, however that is using the old strict etiquette rules those of the wannabe classes follow. In reality I don't believe that anyone would be ostracised for saying it. Camilla was probably, as usual being her charming self.Jo of Palatine said:The Duchess of Cornwall in an uncut video of one of her latest tours before the Op was heard saying: "Nice to meet you". Is that U, non-U or simply herself?

angela said:I don't think the "pleased to meet you" and other things that Carole Middleton is supposed to have made mistakes with are the big deals the papers are blowing them up to be. In the programme Elizabeth R, made to mark the Queen's 40 years on the throne, the Queen introduces the Polish President to Princess Alexandra before a banquet and Alexandra says "pleased to meet you" so it IS an expression the Royals use. If anyone else on the forums has a copy of this programme you will see for yourselves.
Well......, to be fair to prince Charles: nobody has as yet dubbed Mrs. Middleton's phonecalls and published the contents so there is no information out in the public knowledge about her wishes. < ed >angela said:It must make a decent family like Kate's so angry that THEY are being portrayed as unsuitable when you look at some of the ways the Windsor's have carried on
