British Monarch Jubilee (@@ mentions/pics in thread)

LOL at this scene. I feel for her too. They must use the "hand over mouth" and the "thumb on nose waving palm" gestures a lot at home because I have never seen my kids use either of those. Poor kid having to sit through all that stuff and having to be videotaped for the world without a device to tide him over like the other 4 year olds.

My daughter does the hand over my mouth thing too and it makes me CRAZY! Ugh. Poor Louis, I'm sure he was so bored and restless. And poor Kate.

Looks like Louis has his own thoughts about the monarchy. 

It makes me feel strangely better to see Prince Louis behaving similarly to my own son around that age.

haha yep. We went out for lunch yesterday with some friends and DS (who is week younger than Prince Louis) was bored/rude/not sitting etc and it was refreshing to see that even Royal Kids aren't always perfect lol.

If you haven’t seen the Queen with Paddington Bear sketch, take a look. I love it - she’s such a good sport.

The Jubilee party was a hit. We had ladies from in their 40s to late 70s. It was so lovely. Really glad we did something to mark the occasion. : )

The British press would have lost their fucking minds if it was Archie behaving like that, but perfect Kate gets a pass.

The old dear is exempt from race and discrimination laws. But the UK isn't racist!

Racism Outshines platinum Jubilee

"On Friday, at a service of thanksgiving for Her Majesty at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Racism, attending with its partner, Colonialism, turned things up a notch in haute couture by the House of Anxiety, a dazzling coat composed of thousands of individual boos directed toward Meghan and Harry as they entered the church. When asked about the custom creation, House of Anxiety responded, “White supremacy demands hating the other, and hating the other is the moment.”

This paragraph supports the fact that I'm clearly not smart enough to read the new yorker.

bronxgirl, they've actually shown that there were a lot of cheers for them and that the boos were actually directed toward our PM (not to say that there probably weren't boos for the pair, because, yes, we have racism). It's just that the Daily Mail and one other rag said it was directed toward Meghan and Harry and other news outlets picked that up.

In addition, there were boos when the buses dropping off people blocked the view for the spectators lining up across the street.  They eventually moved the buses out of the way instead of leaving them there until the service was over because of the booing.
