message: I always thought that this phrase had originated with Sir Walter Raleigh.  I first encountered the phrase about twenty years ago, in a biography of Raleigh, and it made an impression on me then.
Also, Edmund Morris's biography of Ronald Reagan indicates that Reagan had long used the phrase to describe his 1948.  If so, his use of the phrase probably predates Queen Elizabeth's in 1985. Brain Rodeo (talk) 20:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OED may date it to 1985, but we've antedated that to 1936 and 1900. The use in 1900 certainly sounds like it expects that the reader of The Nation would be familiar with the term. wikt:annus horribilis Robert Ullmann (talk) 07:29, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I question how accurate the following paragraph is: "John Major, then Prime Minister, wanted the government to cover the cost of repairs (Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace are government-owned), and the British Constitution requires the monarch to accept the advice of his/her prime minister. But there was much public outcry against this plan".  Firstly the statement that Windsor and Buckingham Palace are government-owned is wrong.  They belong to the Crown - the government owns nothing. But they are regarded as state rather than private assets. So of course the taxpayer should have paid for repairs.  The second half of the paragraph implies that the Queen violated the "Constitution" (of course that should be "constitution") by refusing to accept John Major's advice.  That is obviously wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 06:09, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: falling out of favor

message: "The infamous tampon conversation between the married heir to the throne and the equally wedded Camilla was one of the most damaging British royal stories of the late 20th century. The story was "broken" by New Idea in January 1993. Murdoch's British papers, the rest of Fleet Street and the world media then republished with abandon." . "The transcript - dubbed 'Camillagate' caused shock waves throughout the Royal Family as it exposed the relationship between the Prince and Camilla, who at the time was married to Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles. It was published by the People on 17th January 1993 under the headline 'Charles and Camilla - the tape.' Here is the transcript in full:"  Adpete (talk) 07:49, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
