Lord Westover "mortified" that King Charles will not administer Nobility Oath during the Coronation

The Vast Estate -- His Grace, Lord Westover, has been informed by "officials" at Buckingham Palace that his wildly popular Nobility Oath, which has already been taken by countless Trogs since His Lordship introduced it over thirteen years ago, will not be read aloud by King Charles III during his coronation in Westminster Abbey.

"His Grace realizes that members of the Royal Family are often intimidated by him. To pretend he has been sent an invitation, never to arrive, is one thing," said Manservant to His Grace, spokesman for The Vast Estate, "But to miss the chance to bring The Noble Word to countless swarms of Trogs is simply unconscionable. So, yes, His Lordship is needless to say mortified by King Charles' missed opportunity to, well, simply change the world for the better. Shame on him...obviously."

However (and apparently) Lord Westover isn't too miffed at His Majesty as he is hosting, along with his BFF, Thomas Earl of Fulton, a grand and elegant coronation tea party in honor of King Charles and Queen Camilla at The Vast Estate for all the town's people to enjoy.

So perhaps a few Trogs might take the Nobility Oath on the happy day of King Charles' coronation after all!

God Save the King, obviously.

A Prince Among Princes

Heaven has gained a Noble Prince and we, here below, have lost a man of such impeccable character that it is truly hard to believe he will no longer be among us--living through his life the example of Duty to Country above all else. 

A loving husband and devoted father, Prince Philip, had he not been the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, would have been, under any life circumstance, a rock to those around him. 

His Royal Highness as the The Prince Consort, however, was blessed with the platforms of platforms to shine as an example to all of us as to what being a good and decent man means. He will be sorely missed.

Celebrate Lord Westover’s 10 year anniversary by being Noble!

By Robert Hudson Westover

Ten years ago this summer a noble star was born and His name is Lord Westover. His mission in life is to bring awareness that everyone has a noble star burning within us—even if we can’t see or feel it.

This idea of a noble super hero was birthed one day when I was about to jump out of my car to “engage” with a jerk who had nearly caused an accident by a very selfish act of stealing a parking space. I really wanted to give him a piece of my mind—in the tradition of being a Marine—but my ever wise husband, Tom, calmed me down immediately by saying “That guy's a jerk, but you need to calm down. You need to be a guardian of civilization not contribute to its unwinding.” 

His Grace, Lord Westover. Obviously.

Tom’s prophetic words stopped me in my tracks. Instead of potentially a loud verbal (or even physical confrontation) I simply said (a little loudly, admittedly) as I passed by the jerk-behaving person, “You almost caused an accident. It was really thoughtless of you.” I don’t know if he responded because we just drove on and I didn’t look back literally and figuratively. 

Now, with just that one admonition from Tom my mind went into PR mode and that day I developed the idea of  a “guardian of civilization” hence forth to be known as Lord Westover.

A few weeks later, sitting in my car at a traffic light in front of Washington D.C.’s massive Union Station, I read a quote inscribed into the granite exterior of the train station by James Russell Lowell. It reads “Be noble! and the nobleness that lies in other men, sleeping but never dead, Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.”

Thus was created Lord Westover’s manifesto of sorts or what His Grace titled the Nobility Oath. With this mission statement Lord Westover ventured out of his “vast estate” and began asking the world to take the Nobility Oath.

And many have…

So reflecting on over ten years of noble ambition and public awareness it thrills me to see my creation, Lord Westover, (or LW, as I call him, which does not please His Lordship one bit) reaching tens of thousands of, as LW would say, “Trogs” all over the world. 

Large national news media outlets including the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor have covered Lord Westover’s adventures. In fact, over 500,000 people have visited one or all of Lord Westover’s social media venues created to get out His Lordship’s message of the inner nobility in all of us.

Lord Westover's Best Selling "Royal"
instruction manual.

I chose to developed Lord Westover as a comedic performance art character simply because I feel humor can be one of the most profound ways to enlighten others. And along the way a “royal court” has developed with characters such as Manservant to His Grace, the Mysterious Lady K and the Earl of Fulton to help in spreading the Noble word.

Over the years I have built a small non-profit multi-media entertainment group called Lord Westover Productions which includes videos, books, blogs and other forms of multi-media entertainment.

Lord Westover Productions' impromptu performance art shows have taken place at large national events including on The National Mall in Washington, DC as well as in other countries including Turkey, Australia and the United Kingdom. Lord Westover has even made appearances with Smokey Bear and sang to him on the fire prevention bear’s 75^th Birthday!

At one point a Hollywood production company asked us to film a mini-pilot or “sizzle reel” for a possible reality show! That sizzle fizzled, but it’s sure a lot of fun to watch! (And you still can by clicking here!) I’m proud to say that I think it will go down in history as one of the worst sizzle reels--ever. No easy accomplishment for LW’s theater company!

One of the crowning moments of knowing your message is getting out there is to see that messaging being copied by large influencers. One day a friend sent me a picture of an ad in a DC metro station. It was for Gillette razors and was called "The Reformed Troglodyte". It was so obviously a Lord Westover-type message that I had to contact the producer of the commercial. And he confirmed, that yes, indeed, Lord Westover had inspired the Reformed Troglodyte ad campaign! 

So over the years His Grace, LW, has converted a lot of folks to reform from being short sighted narrow minded trogs to being Noble and seeing the Nobility in all of us. But His Lordship's Nobility campaign is far from over. In fact, it is more important than ever. By truly seeing Nobility in EVERYONE we can move to understand, forgive and trust one another. 

In my humble opinion, there is no other way to save civilization.

JUST BE NOBLE.

Is a "Stunning" Abstract Portrait of Lord Westover to be Unveiled at the Louvre?

The Vast Estate - Rumors that the Louvre Museum in Paris plans to replace the Mona Lisa with a new abstract portrait of His Grace, Lord Westover, have been swirling in Noble circles for weeks. Indeed, as in all things, there is a modicum of truth...or not...obviously.

No, the famed Paris museum and its da Vinci will not be moved, however, new rumors are suggesting that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, plans to replace the official portrait of King George III in Buckingham Palace with the portrait of His Grace in caulk gleefully referred to has the "O, Lordie" by art aficionados.

His Lordship (and even manservant for that matter) could not be reached for comment...obviously.

NEWS FLASH!!! Lord Westover Announces Run for the American Presidency

Campaign Slogan to Read: Make America a Monarchy…Again

The Vast Estate (Obviously) - In a turn of political events that is certain to stun Nobles and rattle Trogs all over the world, His Grace, Lord Westover, has officially announced his candidacy for President of the United States.

announcement to run for the American Presidency. (FNN Photo.)

The nobleman is not certain of his place of birth -- as when an infant he was kidnapped by a traveling carnival family -- thusly, having no official birth certificate, Lord Westover is neither an American nor a citizen of any other nation.

“This noble 'nowhere land' puts His Lordship in a unique position to claim the American Constitution as a fraud on a technicality and become absolute monarch,” states Lord Westover’s Man of Legal Matters.

When asked which political party His Lordship would seek the nomination under, his Man of Legal Matters smirked then said, “Really, now... Don’t you think the Reigning House of Westover is enough?”

Asked about his “party” platform Man of Legal Matters quipped, “A platform strong enough to hold a very heavy gold and velvet throne…obviously.”

His Grace plans to issue a series of royal edicts over the following months which will clearly spell out who will bow and who will grovel before his presence. Additionally, secondary noble houses will be clarified.

The one certainty known at press time is that Manservant to His Grace will take the title of First Manservant…obviously.

NEWS FLASH!!!! LORD WESTOVER UPDATES NOBILITY OATH - TO BE TITLED NOBILITY OATH 2.0

The Vast Estate (obviously) - To tragically accommodate the ever decreasing attention spans of troglodytes, His Grace, Lord Westover, has found it appropriate to more simplify the Nobility Oath. It is a move that can only be described as compassionate, amazing and beneficent (obviously).

Increasingly out of public view, Lord Westover
spends much of his time wondering the grounds
of The Vast Estates.

"With Nobility Oath 2.0, now the most simple minded Trog can wrap his limited cognitive elasticity around the basic principles of being Noble," said His Lordship whilst starring off in the distance at the seeming boundlessness of the rolling hills of The Vast Estate, a wine glass in hand, with but a few drops of Merlot remaining, precariously dangling from his near limp fingers.

No further comment fell from His Lordship's lips.

Nobility Oath 2.0
I swear to stop behaving like a selfish jackass and start behaving like a Noble person. That means I will do good things like not be mean or cruel to others. I will not litter. I will not get drunk and pass out at friends' estates. I will not scream at other drivers even if I think they are stupid. I will stop gossiping behind people's backs even though it really makes me feel superior. I will weed and mow my lawn even though it is easy to pretend I leave it to go to seed out of environmental concerns. And, most importantly, I will stop pretending climate change is not induced by humans...including me. I do these things because despite the fact that I look like, act like and feel like a troglodyte I know in my heart that I am, as well as all others, a Noble human being deserving of respect despite all the evidence to the contrary.
