Because they are greedy bastards

plasticscouser.bsky.social•101 days ago

We should bung in a few medals, military uniforms and titles which she has not earned

indyhetty.bsky.social•101 days ago

It's not that's the bisarre and scary thing! Yikes.

wandanudnik.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m not laughing. This is a travesty.

worzelgummidge.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fair's fair apparently she lent Anne her husband at some point in the past.

wittywearer.bsky.social•101 days ago

Oof ...

worzelgummidge.bsky.social•102 days ago

Is it because she does a Book Club?

wwdd175.bsky.social•102 days ago

Complete and utter joke.

rosbumblebee.bsky.social•102 days ago

They spend all their time pinning medals in each other.

papillondore20.bsky.social•101 days ago

It's totally ridiculous. What has she done to deserve an honorary doctorate?

drrobbedson.bsky.social•102 days ago

These awards are for outstanding achievement in the area they are awarded in, this case literature; so how many books has Mrs Windsor written, none I believe, it’s so wrong.

I worked hard for my doctorate, making discoveries in nanoscale physics

The rich love their cosplaying and phoney awards

Slow news (and ceremonies) day 🙄. Mad country!

asparagusnextleft.bsky.social•101 days ago

No, it's a fucking insult, the bastards are ripping the fucking piss out of us now.

vynerjoy.bsky.social•102 days ago

They become more irrelevant by the day.

allyjer.bsky.social•102 days ago

They sicken me.

paolaperfume.bsky.social•102 days ago

Really.

cladonald.bsky.social•101 days ago

Jokes are funny - this is

toastietootsies.bsky.social•101 days ago

Worse than joke it’s an insult to those who have genuinely earned their awards. Just like awarding themselves military medals insults veterans. They really don’t see how repulsive such charades are, they’re so mired in sycophancy they honestly think ‘we love it’ 🤮#NotMyKing #ChanEMoRigh

After failing to finish 4th grade in primary school, Elena Ceausescu, the wife of the former Communist dictator of Romania, was eventually offered a PhD.
This is pretty much the same.

badassmutha.bsky.social•102 days ago

Grown ups with delayed development playing award ceremonies.....🤦‍♀️😮‍💨

somecandytalking2.bsky.social•102 days ago

I wonder how long Camilla's recovery from a "chest infection" following the recent C4 documentary (just in time for this utter charade) will last when their documentary about her is aired on Sunday?

doodles134949.bsky.social•101 days ago

They are taking the piss.

Cowmilla will never be my queen. In fact, they are all just parasites. Anne is the only one I respect, and she would have turned it down.

ladywicket.bsky.social•101 days ago

Cringey the way they’re pushing her as some kind of popular figure 😐

garygilligan.bsky.social•101 days ago

Cringy is putting it mildly...

june22ali.bsky.social•101 days ago

Personally I think the 'wicked stepmother' tag might be more accurate.

garygilligan.bsky.social•101 days ago

Works for me...

the-fish-man.bsky.social•102 days ago

Those watching will probably get a medal for it too

keithbrindle.bsky.social•102 days ago

Really pleased, though, that it turned into a military event. Better than being greeted by nurses or doctors or teachers.
Much more royal.

baileyjones.bsky.social•101 days ago

To be fair, Chancellor is an honary role, so I doubt Princess Anne had much to do with it.

klezmerjule.bsky.social•102 days ago

Sick....is she now Dr Queen or Dr Camilla or what?
They're the ultimate clown show, totally outdated and hopefully on the way out. #democracy #notmyqueen

del-boy.bsky.social•102 days ago

Queen CONsort.

nettekin.bsky.social•101 days ago

But apparently too ill to go to the Royal Variety show?
Not a big fan of honorary doctorates tbh (I had to work real hard for my BA and MSc), but this just looks ridiculous.
The RF seem to be shooting themselves in the foot one day at a time.
You have to question its future? 🤷‍♀️

garygilligan.bsky.social•101 days ago

Indeed. Tone deaf.
