When all of the principal players are dead (a long time from now) we'll find out the real answer.

She took an oath to serve to her dying breath.

Charles and Diana were in a loveless marriage. He was in love with Camilla Bowles and she had several affairs. I don't have a doubt that Harry is James Hewitt's biological son.

Would most definitely be the first time an illegitimate was in line for the British throne, I bet.

He looks like his paternal grandfather, Philip.

It is possible that Hewitt is the father, but I have also heard that Harry is the splitting image of the younger Prince Phillip. You can't always just look at photos of the father.

Edit: Smart Post beat me to it. That is the pic I was referring to.

Harry will never be King, so it doesn't really matter, but Harry was born in 1984 and literally every source says Diana's affair with James Hewitt started in 1986.

James Hewitt reiterated this in 2017. The only way someone could prove otherwise would be through a DNA test, and I doubt that will happen.

She's long said she won't abdicate, but Prince Charles has stood in for her when a royal is needed at an event.

Personally I hope she outlives Charles so when she passes the throne goes to William. And given she's avoided what killed her sister, father, and grandfather -- tobacco smoking -- she may well become the longest-lived member of the royals yet.

You think Phil invoked primae noctis on his DIL?

Okay, okay the ears maybe enlarged a little. The eye is crossed and the mouth contorted, and Charles wasn't actually holding up four fingers trying to indicate "two words". Other than that though, it's a faithful rendition.

Note to the Daily Beast:
Don't doxx me bro! . . . it's all in good fun

She’s 100 fricking years old and has no power. Why should any American give a shite? I would if I were a British taxpayer, but that’s their problem not ours.

i think God has said so... at some point, you can get so frail that you can't project the image required to be the symbolic leader of a first world power. Her juxtaposed with Trump is a joke, and that's one reason why Americans voted for him. Think how frail Hillary would have been after a term (or two), and think about how Teutonic Merkel looks.

If I was in my mid 90s facing the spectacle of doing stressful pomp and other large events like a state dinner on the world stage, I'd rather bite a cyanide pill.

We had a hard enough time getting my 87 year old grandmother through a small and low key country wedding in the spring for my brother and sister in law.

Who cares. She is an inbred twat, and so are all her turd children and their children, too. We fought a war to overthrow that family of miscrients. I hope trump calls her a fat slob.
