tuxette's Journal: ...but the King is not my son...

GEEEEZ. When you think "scandals" can't get any more "scandalous," you get stuff like this:

Doubts raised over King Olav's lineage

Royal rumors about King Olav

Can anyone top any of this? :-)

dig'em up

[Mantorp]

that'll answer those questions, unless they've all been cremated of course.

bush

[powlow]

how about bush!? he tops anything...I have noticed the recent spread of "Kill Bush" t-shirts, posters and stenciled grafiti...sorry completely unrelated really :)

speaking of "kill" and "t-shirts"

[tuxette]

seen this one [openstuff.net]? :-)

[metlin]

Wow, now that's one Tee am getting for sure. Thanks!

Re:speaking of "kill" and "t-shirts"

[powlow]

haha that's excellent...!

Queen Victoria

[Ethelred Unraed]

Can anyone top any of this? :-)

I think I can [cnn.com].

The irony being that if both theories are true, then Olav is doubly illegitimate (as he's officially descended from Victoria through Maud).

What's better: up until a few years ago*, had Victoria indeed been proven illegitimate, the new King of Great Britain, Northern Ireland etc. would have been none other than Prince Ernst August of Hannover [welfen.de], notorious reporter-beater-upper.

* - He did us all a favor and removed himself from the succession by marrying Prin

heh...

[tuxette]

Did Ernst commission the book? Or perhaps Heinrich ;-P

Re:heh...

[Ethelred Unraed]

Why, I never told him to do anything of the sort! ;-)

Cheers,

Ethelred

[tuxette]

Why, I never told him to do anything of the sort!

And I believe you. Really. ;-)

Royal scandals

[October_30th]

Ah, royal scandals...

That's something we, as a republic, can't really have but still it was close [brainyencyclopedia.com]. ;) Our yellow press has also kind of "adopted" the Swedish royal familty for the purposes of reporting "royal scandals".
