Eh, there’s been more than one rumor that Charles resents how much time William and Kate spend with the Middleton’s. That doesn’t scream closeness to me.

Andrew lives beyond his means because he doesn’t have the private income that Charles does (from the duchy of Cornwall, which he inherited as the first son). Also, people are far more apt to do things for free for the 2nd in line to the throne as opposed to the 6th (soon to be 7th).

Nah, Charles thinks it’s his god given right to be king. That’s why he’s still advocating for Camilla to be Queen and not Princess Consort (as promised when he married her). They scrubbed all references to Princess Consort off his official website in the hopes people will be ok with it.

Charles has his own money, from the Duchy of Cornwall, the problem is that he’s loathe to use any of his own money. He’s a whiny, entitled Boomer who hangs out with billionaires and feels poor as a result.

A very dear friend of mine worked at the British consulate when Charles was coming to NY for his Environmental Warrior blah blah award. What Tom Bower wrote is exactly what I heard about that trip. Charles and Camilla drove everyone at the Consulate insane with their demands to the point where my friend asked for a…

If we’re going for realism, no one wants to see late stage Henry VIII banging anyone. Gag.

If I never hear “I want to be your tampon” again, it will be too soon.

Thanks for that, I’m going to try to get down to DC to see the exhibit at the National gallery!

She navigated her life during a treacherous time pretty well. She escaped the ire of Henry VIII, lived in her own castles and did quite well financially. She gambled, she drank and was known to have treated her servants well. She was well thought of by all her stepchildren, she was even involved in Mary’s coronation.…

Catherine Parr had such a sad ending though! And that weird, fucked up relationship her last husband (Jane Seymour’s brother) had with Elizabeth, her stepdaughter, was really awful.

Maria Doyle Kennedy, while absolutely gorgeous, looked too stereotypical spanish for Catherine. If she were short and ginger, she’d be perfect.

She played the game well enough that her gambling debts were paid by him and his kids! That’s pretty impressive. She lived life on her own terms, which is pretty incredible for the era.

Catherine was a ginger in real life. Are we taking bets on whether or not they make her look stereotypically Spanish (dark hair, dark eyes like Irene Papas, who was Greek, from Anne Of A Thousand Days) or go with authenticity? My bet is stereotype.

At least it’s not yet another Anne Boleyn story? I’m still waiting for the Anne of Cleves movie. She was a badass.

But then the real question becomes, what happened to Luke Perry?!?

I got $250 per week. I nannyed for a family with a 6 year old and a 4 year old. In their defense, they gave me a credit card and told me to feel free to use it so the kids and I often went to museums and cafes that I would not have been able to afford otherwise. And I spent 2 weeks every summer at their house in the…

For a mother’s helper? She was part time, Mrs. Krim was mainly around when she was there. I worked as a full time nanny for a family on the UWS during my summers in college and I made the same amount Yoselyn Ortega did and I was fulltime.

I’m a pretty far leftist but this is insane to me. I believe employers have obligations to their employees like treating them fairly and paying them a living wage but since when is your employer obligated to bail you out of financial jams? Never. And quite frankly, I would never want my employer involved in my…

She worked part time. If she was unhappy, she could have found another part time job that pays as well.

Yep, threw a stapler at my head once and once, I had my back turned and I was hit with an accordion folder full of papers.
