And Now, a Message from the King of Canada

The Canadian head of state is Charles III, the current British monarch who is also King of Canada. It's one of our last remaining colonial ties to Britain. There has been much grumbling in Canada that the King has not spoken out about Trump's lies, threats and aggression against our economy and sovereignty.

Blogging buddy Liz Hinds from Wales asked in a comment on my Tuesday post --

How do you feel, Debra, about the UK's

lack of comment? Or indeed the King's?

I responded as follows--

I'm not one of those complaining about King Charles' silence

because I understand that a constitutional monarch speaks only

as directed by his government. The silence of the UK government

does show a lack of courage but, in a situation where a bully is

playing hardball, allies often melt silently away so as not to draw the

bully's attention to themselves. I understand it but am still annoyed by it.

But it seems King Charles has now indeed "spoken out" to send the USA a message in a manner that is uniquely longstanding to the British royal family -- by the use of symbolic clothing and/or jewelry. On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in London and had a private meeting with the King. On Tuesday, the day American tariffs were imposed on Canada, this happened and I quote --

Yesterday [Tuesday] King Charles was inspecting a British ship.

And YET he did so dressed as King of Canada

wearing Canadian military decorations and Canadian honours, 

[including the] Order of Canada and Canadian Order of Military Merit.

Charles is sending us and the world a message, a LOUD message.

So there we have it!

Royal Roundup

Well, it's Victoria Day in Canada once again,

the date on which She Who Seeks blog

traditionally pokes fun at the Royal Family.

But, oh my, what a momentous year they've had!

First of all, farewell to Queen Elizabeth

after so many years of faithful service --

And welcome to Kay Cee Three,

who has served one of the 

world's longest apprenticeships

for any job --

And then, there was 

all the excitement

of the Coronation!

bewbin:

Truly such a beautiful day for their majesties the new king and queen may there rule be long and prospero- BLIMEY! ITS PRINCESS DIANA AND SHES GOT A STEEL CHAIR

They'll be hard pressed

to top this next year,

won't they?

God Bless 'Em All

Hey, it's Victoria Day in Canada once again. We are the only country in the entire Commonwealth (former name: "The British Empire") that still celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday with a statutory holiday, good little colonials that we are. Even Britain doesn't mark the occasion anymore.

So therefore, this is the date on which She Who Seeks blog traditionally makes fun of the Royal Family but jeez, I feel kinda bad about doing it this year. They've had a helluva year, haven't they, the poor buggers. Well, maybe "poor" isn't the right word . . . or is it?

Oh, who the hell am I kidding?

I do believe Meghan, however, that she faced racism from some members of the Royal Family (and certainly from the British press as well). 

But I don't think the Queen was worried about race at all. She doesn't need to.

I suspect the press is blowing "Megxit" out of all proportion. Meghan is not the "be all and end all" of evil in the world.

Why isn't Prince Andrew treated with anywhere near the same public hatred and condemnation as Meghan is?

And now poor old Prince Philip has died too.

Oh for god's sake, let's all just move on from Meghan-bashing and get started on fresher bogus royal gossip, okay?

Sheesh. Queen Victoria should have the last word on all this. After all, it's her day today.

Royal Family MAYHEM!

 

Hello, my adoring minions and sweet stalker-ish fans!

It is I, HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE CAT, 

here once again to

wring my paws in DESPAIR

over the state of my Family.

Yes, THAT Family of which I am a well-loved member.

Alright, so my cousin Betty Windsor HAS always hated me

and tried to exclude me from Family events,

but she is VERY much the exception. 

Everyone else adores, SIMPLY ADORES, me!

Like my darling Harry and his beautiful wife Meghan,

for whom I did some fundraising in the past 

as they broke away from the clutches of the Royal Family.

Their recent, shocking interview with Oprah shows that 

the Royal Family has learned nothing, NOTHING, 

from the UTTER FIASCO that was 

Prince Charles' and Princess Diana's marriage. 

Still NO training or mentorship for young spouses joining the Family.

NO mental or emotional support for coping with Royal Life. 

NO immediate and sharp rebukes of the 

absolutely disgraceful RACISM propagated by the 

British tabloid media against Meghan.

When, OH WHEN, will the Palace LEARN?

I feel for Meghan so much because I. too, 

have often been targeted by those tabloid rags. 

They hate my guts because I am also beautiful and talented. 

There is no low to which they will not sink to harass and bully me!

Those dastardly tabloids even 

QUESTION my Royal Credentials!

Can you imagine? 

Oh, the unspeakable gall of those gutter journalists!

Just look at this LATEST LIBEL against me!

I shall LAWYER UP immediately!!!!!

HRH's Christmas Message

Greetings, my poor, downcast minions!

Yes, rejoice, for it is I, 

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE CAT

gracing you with my presence once again.

Every Christmas morning, my cousin Betty Windsor

(you know, "the other HRH")

gives a televised message to inspire her

inexplicably devoted subjects.

Well, if cousin Betty can make the effort,

I guess I can too.

Hell, even my other royal cousin,

The Black Panther,

(King T'Challa of Wakanda)

makes an effort to have fun

at this time of year and

they don't even celebrate

Christmas there!

So, because all of you are effin' miserable right now,

I am determined to set a good example

this Christmas to cheer you up.

Here goes nuttin' --

If that last one

didn't cheer you up,

you're beyond hope

and to hell with you!

. . . err, um, sorry . . .

Man, I don't know how

cousin Betty does it,

that relentless cheerfulness,

year in, year out.

NO! NO!

I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE!

I GOTTA BE ME!

And may the Cat Goddess Bast 

bless you all this holy season.

Thank you and good day.

Happy Victoria Day!

Here in Canada, we celebrate 

the birthday of Queen Victoria 

every third Monday in May. 

Why? 

Because she was Queen of Canada when 

modern Canada was created in 1867. 

And we are nothing if not good colonials, 

loyal and classy, eh?

And today there is no one 

quite like Queen Elizabeth II, 

is there?

Or as HRH the Cat calls the other HRH, 

"my cousin Betty Windsor."

Yes, Betty does have a restraining order
against HRH but, I ask you,
what family doesn't feud 'n fight?

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious!

Well, that's THAT for another year.
