Strange Happenings At Buckingham Palace

Youtube ^ | 05/28/20

[mware]

Big BLM protest in London over weekend.

[Mr. Lucky]

You and your stinking facts have ruined another perfectly good conspiracy story.

[mware]

My dad met and talked with Gurkha's during ww2 (either North Africa or Italy) One of his friends asked to see one of their famous daggers. He showed him but before he put it back he cut himself. Told them they never take it out without drawing blood.

[MuttTheHoople]

QE II lived through the national Socialist Blitz 80 years ago. Doubt she’s afraid of a bunch of lower-testosterone Socialists now.

[Vermont Lt]

The crown weighs a ton for a ninety something year neck.

[Dixie Yooper]

I thought I read a few months ago, that much of the non public areas had been neglected for too many years and need attention. It might have been the same article that first stated that Elizabeth was moving out of town for awhile due to the virus.

[Pilsner]

He showed him but before he put it back he cut himself. Told them they never take it out without drawing blood.

Kukris are large utility knives. Gurkha soldiers use them for clearing trails and fields of fire, splitting kindling and cleaning game. They do not cut themselves every time they use it.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Isn’t trooping the color next week, or is that canceled because of the virus?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Regardless, SHE DIDN’T WEAR IT.

And go ahead and explain why the crest is missing, the windows were boarded up a while ago and there are no Royal guards.

[captain_dave]

The guard is Royal Air Force. Not Ghurka.

[LouAvul]

Not "basically." They are less than worthless. They're a drain on their society. Inbred perverts living off the public dole.

Wait! Sounds like our Congress!

[katana]

Ghurkas: Who the Brits call when the s*** gets serious. In WWII they’d get naked and sneak into Japanese lines with just their kukhri and collect some heads. Sort of for sport.

[Robert DeLong]

Your 3rd choice is the correct one

[GreenLanternCorps]

Mware, I’m thinking the Gurkha was exaggerating a bit when talking to your Dad.

[GreenLanternCorps]

See my post 16.

The Guard is from the Royal Air Force Regiment. Which has mounted the guard before.

The Queen didn’t wear the crown because the December State opening was the second of 2019 due to the December General Election and the Queen delayed her annual Christmas trip to Sandringham, so they did a stripped down opening.

[mware]

Maybe so but my dad had great respect for them and their unit. Quiet,friendly and fearsome fighters. Also mentioned the German paras at Monte Casino were fierce fighters. Coming down the mountain half had blood coming out of their ears.

[Vaduz]

Bingo

[Wiser now]

The Queen is staying at Sandringham.
She wears the crown once a year at the opening of Parliament. She wears tiaras for white tie state dinners which usually take place in the fall.
Prince Phillip is 98 and does not make public appearances anymore.

[Wiser now]

Canceled.

[wally_bert]

You may think this is silly but I prefer the BW open and close of The Saint.
