Royal Bumps (Part 2)

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now

“The True Sweetheart: “The third time, she wore the star-dress which sparkled at every step.”

This isn't the first time. Last year, the IDF would leave behind explosives disguised to look like toys (they did this in Lebanon as well)

Royal Bumps (Part 2)

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'.

Pendant by Alfred H. Jones, 1910. Silver, gold, abalone, opals and baroque pearls.

"In the course of nearly four years of war, His Majesty has seen thousands of female workers and their passion, their dedication and their vivacity at the exciting new world opening up for them gives him no end of pleasure. He bombarded working girls with questions: How long had they been employed? Did they like their work? And what of their brothers at the front? He has a fatherly soft spot for a girl in uniform, and those war-girls have infiltrated almost every establishment that the King visits.”

Excerpt from "In the Eye of the storm: George V and the Great War" by Alexandra Churchill
