From the moment the Royal wedding was announced last month , Prince William has made it clear he wants this to be a "people wedding" and has taken deliberate steps to ensure all Britons feel welcome to share in his and Kate Middleton's special day . For starters , he made sure the wedding fell on a Friday (April 29) so that all his country men can have a three-day weekend . However , after the ugly attack on his father , Prince Charles , during last weeks' student protests in London , a change has to be made .
"William is devastated that the Palace is insisting on major changes ," a royal insider says . "At this point there will still be open carriages taking members of the family from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abby . But now the gathering will be kept far away from the action that they won't be able to do much of anything ."
"William is putting up a good fight to keep the wedding as open as possible but that 's not likely , he's not going to win this battle ," a palace insider says.
Prince Charles and wife Camille's car was attacked in London by a mob of angry students protesting the sharp hikes in University fees . Since the shocking episode , a formal investigation into the safety of the Royal Family has been launched which sources say will alter the way the family can interact with the public .
"Security experts are suggesting that bullet-proof cars replace the current fleet of Royal vehicles and carriages ," an insider says . "Also , the famous Royal Walkabout , where members of the family interact with the public , is a thing of the past . Now it's just much to dangerous ."
The Royals have long resisted advice on security measures that would further remove them from the public , but in this dangerous world that we live in , it's hard to argue that the young Prince is going to have to take a step back.
PIC and I send our very best to Prince William and Kate may their lives be long and fruitful .
Hi Cutie...Still wrapping Xmas gifts , found some last minute ones I will have to wrap.Will it ever end ???
ReplyDeleteHow's everyone ???
We are all a little weary from wrapping presents all evening.but it is almost at an end. It seems the preperations for Christmas get longer every year. And then it's all over in a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteThe preparing for Xmas is getting longer and lasts a short time .
ReplyDeleteI think they start promoting Xmas to early , they started here before Thanksgiving .
It makes you happy to snuggle and you still get the wink and the twinkle in the eyes.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl.[the Rocks' girl]
We have to snuggle to stay alive right now. What a frigid cold snap we're having. You are having it in the Northern US too. I did a post on Ohio. IT's nasty there too at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThey are talking about the lunar eclipse on the news.
ReplyDeleteI guess they better beef up security at the royal wedding..Eh?
ReplyDeleteNo they are still looking, they think Dad know where they are .
ReplyDeleteDad/Chris went to Eloise to light her water heater and they went to help . Man didn't go , he was sleep.
If you've seen one eclipse you've seen them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the headline that aliens have made first contact.Or maybe that they have found a planet just like earth only there are no spiders there...Yay!
They actually have found a planet that is virtually made of diamonds.
Yes I think they better it's a shame people are so dumb.
ReplyDeleteI had the understanding that Parliament was in charge of the peoples' money , not the Queen.
A lot of people will miss her visiting different parts of the country.
I thought we had all the fools over here .
Is Parliament just like our Senate and Congress ???
The Queen has nothing to do with the fees going up .
ReplyDeleteYes parliament is just like your senate and congress. It has a House of Lords and a House of Commons. It's a democracy and the queen has very little power at all.
ReplyDeleteGil read your post on the Exoplanet made of diamonds , he reads all your space posts.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for the article about the Queen giving money to the people ,the Royals are paying for the wedding.
ReplyDeleteThe royals have their own personal fortune and they pay for their own special events.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Morgan Freeman did when he heard he was dead ?
ReplyDeleteFox News always screw things up ...CNN beat them to it this time.
I was just going to say the same thing about Morgan Freeman.
ReplyDeleteI bet Morgan was happy to hear that he was still alive.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had an out of body experience?
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice the twins will be there Wednesday for their sleep over, I know you/Brian will have a good time and they are always a joy to Nana.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so ...once when I was very sick ,I felt like I was floating in the clouds. Have you ??
ReplyDeleteYes I have had lots of them. The experience you had when you were sick sounds like an out of body experience. Lots of people have them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I mediate for a long period ,it seems like I am somewhere else ,it's a refreshing feeling .
ReplyDeleteIt is a very freeing experience. My uncle Alan had them all the time and he and I discussed it frequently. We wanted to meet each other on the astral plane.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was a dream state.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get these strong feeling, I dream about people places and things and it seems like I am right there looking at them .
I told that to Mrs. Hattie Sunday when I went to carry her Xmas gift. She told me it was natural and to stop fighting my calling, just embrace it. She said I was meant to see and do things .
[giggles] You be careful out there in the astral zone , I hear that's where you meet the aliens .
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs Hattie is right. You really have to open yourself completely to everything that is possible, everything you are capable of.
ReplyDeleteSometimes if I am relaxed enough and at peace and in just the right state of mind I can leave my body at will. I feel myself breaking free of my body and flying. I can go wherever I want, mentally, at least.
Dad is asking everybody what color spread he should get to go with his drapes ...I made the drapes for his birthday and the quilt to go with them for Xmas. He is going to be surprise .
ReplyDeleteHe has mentioned the drapes to me. He said he is waiting for the January sales to buy a quilt.
ReplyDeleteHe said they were beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHe said the business dinner went very well.And he and Sis stayed over.
ReplyDeleteYes we dropped them of at the hotel, I think they just wanted to be along .
ReplyDeleteWhen we was leaving , Dad told Sis he had a headache , she told him she always carry her pain pills .
I know what you mean. I recognize that attitude. But I am not psychic.
ReplyDeleteI think you are someone who has genuine psychic potential. You have never let it develop to it's fullest.
Next week we can rest until the weekend and start it over again.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend starts Wednesday and you will have fun .
I think I will enjoy Boxing Day the most. I think I'l stay in bed all day and read. Although Dale and Barb usually come over then.
ReplyDeleteI am working on developing it more that's the only way to keep the headaches away.
ReplyDeleteI think and feel about my T**** and B** a lot lately, especially when I on the PC and not on line , their pictures comes up in the video bar ,that man bugs me and he is up to no good , I will find out what it is .
How is Dale ?? Hope his cold is better ...that's something Nana or Brian need .
ReplyDeleteBrian or Nana don't need is a cold.
ReplyDeleteI know Dad caught a cold and when he cough he said it made his bladder hurt or stomach .
What to hear something funny ???
ReplyDeleteThis will be the third Christmas we spend together. How time flies.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Nan's company on Thursday. She is a bright woman.She seems to be good at analyzing situations. She looks a bit like I thought she would.
ReplyDeleteYou already told me something funny. I just pictured Dale shitting the cold out of him...HA!
ReplyDeleteCastor oil makes more sensse than mega-dosing him with antibiotics like they are doing, which I don't agree with, by the way.
ReplyDeleteNAN is a sweetheart ..she enjoyed you too. She will speak her mind .
ReplyDeleteNAN is just set in her ways .
I was taught the old way was the best way, Castor will clean your system.
ReplyDeleteI was raised on herbs/treebark and roots.
Sis would make tea out of them and we used a lot of honey.
ReplyDeleteHow time flys , three years .
Heidi will be gone 2 years in February , I have to chek her blog.
After the New Year lets check our drafts when we started and she if she has any .
I haven't been to her blog in a while. I like to go there now and then and look at the conversations the three of us had.
ReplyDeleteThat is why we are true believers in herbs, the mucous will come out one of the holes .
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in a while.
ReplyDeleteI sometime wonder how she's doing .
I sometimes wonder how she is. I wonder if she is free now and with her family.
ReplyDeleteI believe Monroe/K/L was all the same person , they only wanted to talk about DC.
ReplyDeleteIt growing late Sweets and you never told me the funny thing.That's not sporting you know.
ReplyDeleteI hope she is with her family , her daughter at least , I don't think her husband wants her back.
ReplyDeleteHere it comes
ReplyDeleteDad asked Eloise what was we having for lunh...She looked at Dad and said Mr. Honey Bear or whatever your name is today, I don't work between the hours of 10am and 3pm.
ReplyDeleteDad said okay and grined and I said uh huh Dad is going to pull some pranks on her .
I will say goodnight until twilight tomorrow and then we will have to leave each other notes for awhile.
ReplyDeleteDad is definitely going to get her.
ReplyDeleteSweetie ...I will see you down by the old Oak tree .
