I say this in good humor, they're going to have to pry it from Charles's cold hands first.

And, with good humour I say he started his ascension plans when he married Diana with the intention of having taller children.

Perhaps the ‘new’ Queen is a bit problematic?

Why isn’t her head covered?

I thought women were to wear head coverings when meeting the Pope.

Has that changed? Tx

Yes things have changed. Women actually vote now. It is 2025 not 1925.

I thought the Royal Family women never missed an opportunity to wear silly hats. Funny she would skip it for the Pope.

 

[JDG]

Google says you just can’t slap him on the back! lol

 

[Cool Cats]

@JDG maybe you have a valid point about head covering? I ran across these 2 photos.

Charles met Pope John Paul II in 1985 with Princess Diana at the Vatican

[JDG]

Yep, wear black and cover your head.

Might be optional now.

"King Charles
was 'deeply worried'
about Princess Anne's mystery horse accident
that left monarch's sister hospitalized with a concussion.

Princess Anne
has revealed for the first time
how close she was to being left with devastating injuries after a mystery accident last summer.

Discussing the incident,
in which she was found unconscious on her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire before spending five days in hospital,
the King's sister said she recalls 'nothing' of what happened.

Buckhingam Palace
has only said her injuries were consistent with being struck in the head by a horse's hoof or head.

The princess confirmed
there were no lasting injuries, but added:

'You are sharply reminded
that every day is a bonus, really'."

"King Charles
wears tartan kilt in new portrait shared to
wish Scotland
a 'very happy Burns Night'.

The King has an enduring love of Scotland,
spending many summers at Balmoral with the royal family,
and often wears kilts when visiting the nation for engagements.

The new photograph is reminiscent of another photograph taken of King Charles for his 18th birthday in 1966,
in which the then-Prince of Wales wore a kilt made from Balmoral tartan.

The tartan is intended for the use of King Charles only,
and was designed
'in recognition of His Majesty's strong support in preserving the culture and traditions of Highland Dress and Scottish Tartans'.

The design is based on the Balmoral tartan sett,
which dates back to 1850.

The Scottish Register of Tartans website notes that the cloth was first woven in 100% Scottish wool by Lochcarron of Scotland in Selkirk."

The monarch sports the King Charles III tartan kilt in the newly released photograph, which was taken last autumn in the library of Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
