Or maybe the cautionary tale is for both 🤷🏼♀️
“Will Queen Rania learn from what happened with Asma al-Assad and stop wearing luxurious clothes in front of the Jordanian people? In my opinion, it is better for her to go back and wear the old clothes in the safe?” - Submitted by Anonymous

Apparently the queen and her sister were his pride and his joy too ❤️
get some sense of humor liberals and democrats. You are boring
The haters and losers, they came with their guns. Guns they want to ban by the way. Very sad. They shot me but missed. Badly. They only clipped my ear. I said to the doctor afterwards, great doctor by the way. The best. I said "I've got two ears but I'm sure I can do without one. I can win an election with one ear and Biden wouldn't even win with three." He laughed and said "sir, I've never seen someone heal from a gunshot wound so quickly." The quickest, I hear folks. The quickest. It's an incredible thing.

“I saw Princess Catherine's post within less than an hour of posting, I was so happy to see the post. And most of to see that she didn't lose her hair! She has the most beautiful thick hair! It looked so great in the video she did announcing her cancer, but I was afraid she'd lose it, but she hasn't!” - Submitted by Anonymous
All happy pinning medals ❤️🥰
"The Vladimir Tiara" - HM Queen Elizabeth II
Purchased in the 1920s by her grandmother, Queen Mary of Teck, from The Grand Duchess Vladimir (Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a German princess, who married Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, a son of Emperor Alexander II, in the 1870s).
The tiara can be worn with or without drops. Above the three versions:
- without drops
- with pearl drops
- with emerald drops (from the Cambridge emerald collection used to create the Delhi Durbar parure)
"According to the account written in the 1920s by an American journalist, Mabel Potter Daggett, George and Missy’s Malta romance actually went as far as to a series of kisses, the most important supposedly occurring on the occasion of Missy’s 14th birthday party. She was still ‘‘a flat little girl with golden hair hanging down her back.” But for the party, she’d graduated into her first bustle and hung a string of pink coral around her neck. Catching sight of Missy alone in a San Antonio gallery, George is supposed to have said, “I say, Missy, my word but you’re pretty,” then “caught her in his arms and kissed her.” There were more kisses to follow,” continued Mrs. Daggett, “for it was first love that had occurred to both.”
May they rest peacefully in Heaven
My heart is broken in a thousand pieces. I’ve never felt this kind of pain. Most of you know my daughter and son-in-law Davy and Natalie Lloyd are full time missionaries in Haiti. They were attacked by gangs this evening and were both killed. They went to Heaven together. Please pray for my family we desperately need strength. And please pray for the Lloyd family as well. I have no other words for now. Not my post I'm just sharing the family is asking for prayer...TammyS.

Rare photo of George V in 1913
(I hope King Charles III will release one day rare photos of his ancestors, especially of George and Mary, and why not, their home movies too)
"You have never left me for a single day since that sad event. I fear darling my nature is not demonstrative, but I want you to understand, that I am indeed grateful to you, for all you have done these busy months for me & I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love & for the enormous help & comfort which you have been to me in my new position.
I can't imagine how I could have got on at all without you, I shall never forget it...My love grows stronger for you every day mixed with admiration & I thank God every day that he has given me such a darling devoetd wife as you are....God bless you my sweet Angel May....''
George V to Queen Mary in October 1910, their first separation since he became King when he went up to York Cottage for a few days
"On the 21st of April, 1926, a great joy came into the Royal Family with the birth of a daughter to the Duke and Duchess of York. She was named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, but His Majesty (George V) when he heard what she was to be called, said laughingly: “She will soon be Betty; no little girl can keep up the dignity of Elizabeth,” and “Betty” she became.

Don't let the media make what's happening with Israel, Iran and Jordan into some "middle-east problem" again. This was entirely orchestrated and encouraged by the US and the UK. Israel initiated every attack against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iran. Israel KILLED, targeted, the children and grandchildren of Palestinians political leaders. And the US could've stopped all of this by simply not giving Israel money and weapons bu they didn't.
The Western media has constructed this narrative that countries like Iraq and Iran are the problem and the western nations are the antidote keeping their 'terrorism' at bay. No, they have always and at all times started the conflicts, or worsened them.
Because they want the land, they want hegemony over the resources of that region and that is it. And they've demonstrated already by killing over 33,000 people that they'll do anything.
Stop joking about World War 3 and take the loss of lives and the horror of what is happening seriously. This cannot keep escalating

POSTCARD FROM EMPRESS ALEXANDRA FEODOROVNA, JAN 1905
Postcard with a small illustration of a horse drawn carriage. It was sent to the Prince of Wales, later King George V, by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna on behalf of herself and her husband, Emperor Nicholas II.
The message reads : 'Jan. 1/13. 1905. Darling Georgie, Nicky & I thank you & dear May ever so much for the charming books. It is so sad that we never meet now! We are remaining in the country this winter, as the air is so much better here than in town & Nicky can get out easier for walks here. With fondest love from us both to you two. Ever, Georgie dear, yr loving old cousin Alix'.
"It was no State secret that the King disliked travelling abroad. From the end of the war until his death 17 years later, he spent scarcely more than 8 weeks overseas; 5 of them on an enforced Mediterranean cruise after a bout of bronchitis, the rest on reluctant official visits to France, Belgium and Italy. Nor did the Queen ever undertake a foreign tour alone, even during the 17 years of her widowhood"
