:-D :-D Bet they will. Oh, perhaps not. ;-) My colourful flies have all disappeared. Only a few old maggots left in box.

He will always be a Charlie, Sue. Whatever the label on the outside :-)

So could Camilla be called Queen Elizabeth or Queen Mary, I wonder :-)

He may not be King Charles:

‘Patrick Cracroft-Brennan, a genealogist from Cracroft’s Peerage, said: “There has been a tradition over the last century for the regnal title to be different to the christian name. The change would make sense.

“Monarchs called Charles have not had much luck. One was beheaded, one was in exile, and one was a pretender to the throne”.’

The favoured Regnal name was George!

I should think supercrutch has put a likely reason for this meeting. Protocol is so important to the Palace as we remember from funeral of Diana.

Diana was divorced and therefore outside the royal fold at the time of her death, and the Queen was caught up between
1. her shock at the passing of someone who could have been the next Queen if she had stayed with Charles and agreed to a loveless and ceremonial marriage.
2. Her need to follow royal protocol as laid down in constitution of The Firm. (Palace Ltd)

Now we have at least several royal occasions to look forward to:
1. Marriages of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, who are apparently great favourites of the Queen.
2. Funeral of Prince Andrew, which may be years away but who knows.
3. Funerals of Queen herself and Prince Philip (probably within next few years)
4. Coronation of King Charles III

Will she be allowed to join Prince Andrew for the weddings and in what capacity?
Will she be allowed to attend the funerals and coronation? Again, in which capacity.

So may be a few things to discuss.

Speculation is she is there to discuss the engagement of Beatrice to long term boyfriend.

I truly doubt it's an open armed welcome.

Her daughters popular with the public.... Not round here

She is an embarassment.

The only place where she is truly popular is the US, where anyone with even the smallest connection to our Royalty is lauded.

It is about time too,I really believe they have stayed together regardless of what the Queen and Prince Philip say. :-D

Good on them I say ,be happy ,you are a long time dead ;-)

Suex :-D

That is good news. Her two daughters are very popular with the public, I believe. And so is Sarah, despite her faux pas. We see lack of fashion judgment, clumsiness. But also a lot of natural charm and love. And what a fighter - not many royals have had such a "real" life as she has experienced. :-)

Edit. Is Duchessof Windsor back in the fold yet, Dermot? ;-)

hmmmm

I understand that Sarah & Andrew have lived in the same house for years.

It's a BIG house, they might be in separate wings.

And about time too. History records the slowness of 'Royal Pardons'.
