It’s actually covered in episode 5 of “The First Churchills” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QEohYXAA6o Though the whole series is good.
Wasn’t Obama over there recently?
Confirmed how?
My great-grandparents in Holland had the same last name when they married, so I assume they were somehow related, but I've never discovered in what way.
Claudius was a contemporary of Peter... and yes Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of his brother, Germanicus.
Some say that Richard III made overtures to his niece Elizabeth York, the future wife of Henry VII, daughter of his brother Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville... there is a letter in fact where she seems to be open to his advances...
It was all politics...
"The Union Flag above Buckingham Palace is NOT flying at half-mast, as of March 18. Various live shots from outside the Palace prove that the photo going viral is clearly out of date and the flag is flying at its usual full mast at present. i.e. the Royal family is not in mourning and, as far as we know, the King and the rest of his relatives are doing fine."
The flag was never lowered. Internet trolls on X were posting old photos. Some foreign newspapers published the fake photos.
Yeah... from Sept. 2022, when they were down for Liz II.
Are you still standing by this?
Just admit you fell for internet trolls. Stop trying to cover for your mistake.
The pictures people were claiming were from yesterday were from when Elizabeth died.
I didn’t fall for anything... I was posting a thread talking about internet rumors... people on this thread did what Freepers do, they got to the bottom of it... that crap is still trending on twitter. Sometimes rumors are stories. thanks for digging into it.
I am standing by what I read. I don’t stand by what was written, but only what I read.
It was reported that flags were half-mast, but not why. I stand by that, because that is what was reported.
I just read on FNC someone who said he was told that there is going to be an announcement in 72 hrs and whatever it is, it’s about Charles. What a curious case.
They were old photos.
All right. It was false reporting.
I asked a British Friend about it and he said there was nothing he was aware of.
Apparently London has these people who carry around devices with which they can step out and take pictures of the flagpoles at Buckingham Palace and then post these pictures to a place called ‘X’... who knew?
Again, you're still not admitting your culpability.
No one stepped to take picture of flagpoles. All the pictures were old and from other occasions. I told you no British media were reporting flags at half-mast. You were the one who wanted to believe what you saw on X all the time you refused to believe the evidence I gave you.
And post the same pic a year later with a new caption.
Claudius was born in 10 B.C. so he was probably some years older than Peter. I don’t think there is any evidence for when Peter was born. The mosaics in Ravenna of the Last Supper and of Jesus’ arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane show Peter with white hair, but that’s probably just the artist’s way of making Peter stand out compared to the other apostles. (The mosaic of the Last Supper shows fish on the table instead of lamb...not very knowledgeable about the Passover meal.)
You don’t know what you are talking about... there wasn’t a post you made that I disagreed with. “Culpability?” You need to calm down... it’s a frekking royal family gossip thread...
