I actually think it's disrespectful to the royal family to assume they would be so small minded as to object. Or that it would even cross their minds at their time of loss.

Many, many rugby tickets have been refunded. Lots of hospitality cancelled too. Also the loss of any revenue from TV. Less people attending so less food and drink sold, even car parking refunds add up. Yes this has cost us a huge amount.

Understood, my point being that there was no requirement under protocol as advised by DCMS to move the fixture. That has led to an unnecessary cost for no purpose. Football clubs will doubtless also incur extra costs as a result of postponing games unnecessarily. As an aside I see also this morning that the Premier League is now concerned that it may not be possible to play all the games next weekend due to insufficient police being available, particularly in London. The governing bodies really didn't think this through did they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes wonder if this is where the conspiracy theories of the "real rulers" come from. I believe one reason (happy to be corrected) is that those people there gathered - members of the Privy Council - are those that are assumed to have the power, wealth, land and possibly the motive to organise a rebellion or coup. By getting them in a room early doors to all agree that Charles III is the rightful liege lord - the words used - you legally preclude a civil war for the throne. Likewise none can claim that Charles has not promised to do his duty. He is now answerable to them, and they are answerable to him. The crown is preserved. At this point I think we should acknowledge how well Anne, Edward and Andrew are doing. So far as I can see none of them are marshalling forces to take the throne. We will have no war of the diadochi. Instead a peaceful transition for for modern times and sentiments. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
