Good news does not sell as well as bad news.

(I think after the first couple of marriages, taking the veil should have been popular among anyone in proximity to this pig; at least as long as that was an option.)
This is so weird. Queen Victoria reigned until the very last breath she took on earth . She did not want to pass the crown down to her son because she did not trust him to run the monarchy with honor. For he was known for his many affairs he had and problems with money etc. anyways when Queen Victoria died bertie took the throne and only lasted a few years as king I believe. And soon after died of a heart attack. Funny how history is repeating itself ….same situation, but different circumstances.
Oh, by the way, Bertie, that was his nickname. was hoping his mother would’ve retired and past the crown to him before her death, but like Charles and Queen Elizabeth she gave up her crown until she took her last breath. Bertie was bitter because his mother held on to the throne for those many years. If I remember correctly, Queen Victoria was 96 when she died. Making Bertie around 50 years old and unhealthy. His partying, gluttony and women caught up with him. I believe he was around 50+ when he died which in our time was considered young. His life style did him in.
You have no idea if anything is ‘repeating’.
When he dies, that will be worth an update!
The link you post has a slightly misleading title—although no fault of yours. He is the oldest person at the time of his coronation.
Besides QEII and Victoria (who were Queens), George II and George III both were still reigning at an older age-—and Edward VII died at an older age, but after resigning at a younger one.
Lol.
Evidently.
As if their private lives were anyone’s business.

Nothing you did.
Genetics.
Like a trust fund
Alcoholic.
Pickled and smoked
I did chemo - worked every day except a few.
I very much agree with you!
There is nothing wrong with. ‘looking your age’.
I guess not. Luck of the draw....
That’s one version. Other papers say Chuck is doing alright considering.
Quaker then got to his feet and just stood there, watching his friends run off. Very unusual behavior for a horse in full-blown panic, which told me he was in shock. He stood there until bystanders went and took his reins, which had looped around his leg. He stood there bleeding onto the street in front of the bus. They also found a horseshoe that had been thrown from one of the horses that went down Fleet Street.
I also found info stating that the whole thing was started by Vida, who is known to be skittish and spooky, and who kicked someone in the head during the coronation. He is the one who smashed into the white van and threw the rider onto the sidewalk median.
This is one of the best news clips I've found, and includes the video taken by the man at the bus stop, who recorded the horses hitting the bus. https://youtu.be/XLvFfN8qlI8?si=ZQxCHSrrMTS_gYyy
Your right. I forgot she was a big drinker too.
