There are times when I wish that modern royalty would act like earlier kings and queens, especially when nonsense like this gets put about:
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said tonight: ‘We have made it very clear that the [Duke’s funeral] service will be Covid compliant.’
It was revealed that the Queen may have to wear a mask at Prince Philip’s funeral due to the current Covid restrictions.
The Queen may also have to sit on her own at the funeral due to rules which mean those attending services must remain separated from other households.
Royals could be banned from singing hymns due to Covid restrictions.
And what if she doesn’t want to do any of that? Are the Filth going to act like they usually do when faced with disobedience?
Wouldn’t you love it if some Dickless Tracy tried to interfere with the funeral service brandishing a pair of handcuffs, and Her Majesty just whipped out a sabre and beheaded her?
Sorry, I went off to a warm and happy place there for a moment… Edward The First would approve.
Looks like they could all get away with it

No arrest can be made “in the monarch’s presence”, or within the “verges” of a royal palace. When a royal palace is used as a residence, judicial processes cannot be executed within that palace
So if old Randy Andy had just taken all his Epstein Girls back to Kensington Palace, he could have shagged himself into unconsciousness, and nary a finger could be raised against him?
Interesting thought.
He hasn’t been prosecuted, has he?
In American law, embassies and consular buildings are deemed American territory. Is there anything in UK law that says that wherever a Royal sleeps anywhere in the world is deemed Royal palace territory? That could explain Randy Andy’s short eyes immunity, as Phelps suggests.
Your first sentence made me think of Edward I, also. Especially the scene in the movie Braveheart, when Edward II’s “military expert” explains his plan for dealing with the Scots just before Longshanks throws him out of the tower window
Actually, I believe the UK would be better for it if HM did brandish that sabre to effect.
Oh fer the good ole days, where they just beheaded you if they liked you, or had you hanged, drawn and quartered if you really ticked ’em off. Pour encourager les autres.
Brenda has people to do that for her.
“Wouldn’t you love it if some Dickless Tracy tried to interfere with the funeral service brandishing a pair of handcuffs, and Her Majesty just whipped out a sabre and beheaded her?”
She can do that you know…
Never antagonize someone at a funeral.
Do they still have a Royal Headsman? I’d be up for a bit of entertainment in the Tower courtyard.
What part of “sovereign” confuses you clowns?
I suspect the Brits love their sovereign just as long as she never exercises any sovereign power. AFAIK, the last time a British monarch was anything but a ceremonial figurehead was early in WWII when Chamberlain’s government collapsed and George VI (the current Queen’s father) told Churchill to step into the vacuum. George personally preferred someone else, so this wasn’t so much exercising his power as King as officially recognizing a change in public opinion by a faster and less disruptive means than holding an election during a disastrous period in the war.
My joyful laughter at the thought of Her Majesty beheading some officious fool may have been in poor taste, but it was quite satisfying.
It’s not “poor taste” at this address. Just sayin’.
