CH-No change in wedding plans

More:
Clarence House, already reeling from a series of embarrassing
constitutional hitches in its preparations for the wedding, was under
intense pressure to take the step of delaying the wedding, and finally
announced: "It [the funeral] must take priority. Diaries are being
rescheduled to fit the royal wedding in on Saturday."
Charles of course had no intention of doing so until 'Pressured'...this
sentence is mine.

So what is your reason for giving it - not as opinion but fact?

My legitimate reason is that Clarence House announced on HIS behalf
that come what may, the wedding plans were non-negotiable.
'Pressured' I N D I C T E S an unwillingness to acquiesce.

But another report says it was Buckingham Palace making announcements. What
you don't appear to understand is that the Prince of Wales doesn't go to
every single member of his staff individually and say "this is what I want
you to say".

You are confused Ethel.....The Prince of Wales directs his assistants
to Announce HIS intentions....this time he had to retract , under
pressure...
Buckingham Palace doesn't 'speak' for the PofW...he's a Big Boy now and
has his own staff.
I don't care what you say 'another paper' stated, I am going by what is
WRITTEN in the URL indicated...and not some vague comment.
What possessed You to say that a funeral attended by many
thousands...if not millions, should be pre-empted by a wedding with
circa 30 guests ???????

I'm wondering why the suggestion is that the wedding is postponed and
not
that the funeral is brought forward, or put back, by one day?

Where have I said that the funeral should be pre-empted etc. etc.? I said
no such thing. I asked a question to which I received an answer from
Volcaran. Learn to read, Phyllis. And comprehend. And the 'vague comment'
to which you refer was on the BBC tv report which I watched in our drawing
room today. Where and what did you see reported on your tv scree, live from
the Beeb? Grow up, Phyllis. This isn't a competition between the Pope and
the PoW or the Vatican and CH. It's hundreds of people trying to do their
best to work around a hugely difficult situation involving two important
events that draw publicity. What is disgusting about this - and the only
thing that is - is your gloating and your attempts to turn the death of the
Pope and the delay in the wedding into the PoW's fault. You're like some
sort of dreadful ghoul.

And why do you conclude that when their statement (which you yourself
have posted) simply says there were no plans to change and that it was
a hypothetical question because the funeral date hadn't been announced.

Perhaps you could provide a link where CH says that come what may, the

Royal Wedding to Go Ahead Despite Pope

Monday April 4, 2005 4:01 AM
LONDON (AP) - Prince Charles' wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles will go

John Paul II, the prince's office said Sunday.
The prince's Clarence House office said there were no plans to change

Doesn't seem that difficult. IOW, there were no plans then, later and after
discussion, there were. I wonder how CH staff were supposed to announce
plans which had not then been made.

I have already posted this twice but volcaran seems to have some
objection to the fact that the first sentence does not have quote
marks. From the London Evening Standard 4 April
Headline "Wedding to go ahead even if it clashes with funeral"
"Prince Charles will go ahead with his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles
despite a poosible clash with the funeral of the Pope, CLARENCE HOUSE
SAID TODAY".
What part of that do you not understand? Or do you think the Evening
Standard made that up?
What you keep quoting comes from a later stage in the day's proceedings
and what happened is that first Clarence House insisted the wedding
would go ahead no matter what, then they started to hedge, then they
announced the wedding would be postponed a day.
That is what happened.

The Standard is renowned for its "shorthand". Oddly enough the print
version of the Mail today from which the Standard gets much of its feed
uses the same quote about timing not being good directly quoted by the
Standard.

The full quote is:

"The wedding will take place on Friday as planned but we have to admit
the timing is not particularly good"

It goes on later to quote the CH aide:

"We are used to to having to take things like this in our stride"

and the article continues:

One way or another the matter will be resolved today when the College
of Cardinals meets at the Vatican to set the date for the funeral.

So unless the Standard had a separate interview where precisely the
same words were used there is nothing in the CH statements either to
the Mail/Standard or AP where a dogmatic position has been taken or any
suggestion that the wedding will happen regardless of the funeral. It
is simply CH stating the position as it existed "no plans to change",
"hypothetical question" etc.

what

Post by Psyche's Knot
basis do you claim the Sunday statement and direct quotation

used

Post by Psyche's Knot
by

Post by Psyche's Knot
post dates the Evening Standard comment?

Yes the Evening Standard quote is from this morning and it shows
plainly that this morning Clarence House was insisting that the

wedding

Post by r***@yahoo.co.uk
would go ahead no matter what. If you choose to regard as tainted
evidence anything that just doesn't agree with what you want to

think

Post by r***@yahoo.co.uk
there is nothing that can be done about it but you are WRONG.

And you choose to ignore a direct quote which contradicts your

"That

Post by Psyche's Knot
what happened" because it doesn't agree with what you think.

The Standard is renowned for its "shorthand". Oddly enough the print
version of the Mail today from which the Standard gets much of its feed
uses the same quote about timing not being good directly quoted by the
Standard.
"The wedding will take place on Friday as planned but we have to admit
the timing is not particularly good"
"We are used to to having to take things like this in our stride"
One way or another the matter will be resolved today when the College
of Cardinals meets at the Vatican to set the date for the funeral.
So unless the Standard had a separate interview where precisely the
same words were used there is nothing in the CH statements either to
the Mail/Standard or AP where a dogmatic position has been taken or any
suggestion that the wedding will happen regardless of the funeral. It
is simply CH stating the position as it existed "no plans to change",
"hypothetical question" etc.

I should have added that the last bit of the Standard article about who
would reprsent the Queen and who wouldn't attend the wedding also
appears to be a summary of the Mail article.

The Times today April 5

"When the Prince of Wales rose for breakfast yesterday at the hotel
Walserhof in Klosters he was already preparing to change his wedding
plans, even though Clarence House was insisting that there was no
possiblity of changing the date of the nuptials.
The first indication of a change of plan came when the Prince flew home
early from his extended 'stag weekend' in Switzerland with his two sons
and closest friends to attend Vespers at Westminster.
Clarence House had maintained earlier that the prescence of the Prince
at yesterday's ceremony was a sufficient act of respect from the
Prince."
Article goes on to state that when the Prime Minister and Archbishop of
Canterbury made it clear that they would choose to attend the Pope's
funeral rather than the wedding, Charles had no choice but to change
his plans.

Huh. That's nothing. On the same page and in the same article, the Daily
Mail states both that the prince cancelled his holiday and that he stayed on
in Switzerland!

I see you are still determined to rely on newspaper comment rather than
what people are actually quoted as saying and this despite the
"distortion" of the actual words in the Standard which you quoted
yesterday. No doubt in your view the stories in several papers today
that are saying CH bowed to pressure from Downing St. are also correct.
Of course you are free to ignore the quotes from a spokesman for CH who
says that is not true and the spokesman for Downing St who says it is
not true and that the decision was wholly down to CH. Perhaps you
should engage your critical abilities a little more often when reading
the papers. Your slavish adherence to whatever commentary is written is
however commendable and exactly what newspaper editors rely upon to
make them the "movers and shakers".

<snip of utter nonsense>

A post on atr says that it is very rare if not unheard of for protestant
royalty to attend the funeral of a Pope. That alone must have led to a
great deal of consultation between the Vatican and many royal houses,
including our own. It says that the Queen of Norway is going because her
husband and father in law both met the Pope and I imagine that it's for this
reason and personal respect, that the PoW is going, too.
Another post on atr says that only 5 members of each country are able to go,
so I wonder if Mrs Blair will accompany the PM now, as she has no official
State role.

Susan, Su_Texas my opinions

You are implying pressure from the Queen which was not applied and not
needed. You and PK need to make up your minds because one minute Charles is
stubborn and intransigent and won't shift from any position he has taken up,
and the next the Queen can overrule him effortlessly.
BTW, I don't think you understand that both CH and BP often put out press
announcements and/or that one or the other will be quoted, depending on
which the journalist involved has contacted.

I would like you to offer an explanation for the Evening Standard's
article which I have posted three times now and clearly states that
Clarence House said this morning that the wedding would happen on
Friday, Pope's funeral or no.

The Standard is renowned for its "shorthand". Oddly enough the print
version of the Mail today from which the Standard gets much of its feed
uses the same quote about timing not being good directly quoted by the
Standard.
"The wedding will take place on Friday as planned but we have to admit
the timing is not particularly good"
"We are used to to having to take things like this in our stride"
One way or another the matter will be resolved today when the College
of Cardinals meets at the Vatican to set the date for the funeral.
So unless the Standard had a separate interview where precisely the
same words were used there is nothing in the CH statements either to
the Mail/Standard or AP where a dogmatic position has been taken or any
suggestion that the wedding will happen regardless of the funeral. It
is simply CH stating the position as it existed "no plans to change",
"hypothetical question" etc.

Thank you. That makes sense. I saw this same article earlier today and
it does say clearly "The wedding will take place on Friday as planned".

Indeed but not that it would happen regardless, the date is

before the date of the funeral was known.

Very true. Today, Monday, CH announced that no matter when the Pope's
funeral was held it would not alter their wedding plans....
End of story.

I am glad we agree but I would say fairy tale rather than story.

Seems like all that skiing really helps one's agility, since the POW
puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis.

I have already posted this twice but volcaran seems to have some
objection to the fact that the first sentence does not have quote
marks. From the London Evening Standard 4 April
Headline "Wedding to go ahead even if it clashes with funeral"
"Prince Charles will go ahead with his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles
despite a poosible clash with the funeral of the Pope, CLARENCE HOUSE
SAID TODAY".
What part of that do you not understand? Or do you think the Evening
Standard made that up?

I see quotation marks that indicate you are quoting from the newspaper,
not that the actual wording issued by CH is being quoted.

What about this don't you understand?
