Meghan Markle confirms her father won't attend royal wedding
CNN, May 17, 2018
London (CNN) — The American actress Meghan Markle has confirmed that her father, Thomas Markle, will not attend her wedding to Britain's Prince Harry on Saturday.
Her statement ends days of speculation over the 73-year-old's health, and a controversy over whether he staged a series of paparazzi-style photographs.
"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health," Meghan Markle said in a statement provided by Kensington Palace Thursday.
"I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday."

Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha Grant, 'injured in car crash' after 'confrontation with paparazzi'
The Telegraph/UK, May 17, 2018
Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha Grant, is reported to have been taken to hospital after being involved in a car crash following an alleged confrontation with paparazzi photographers.
The 53-year-old is said to have hit the vehicle's windscreen, suffering a broken ankle and fracturing her knee near her home in Florida on Wednesday.
Ms Grant's partner, named as Mark by celebrity gossip website TMZ, said their car hit a concrete barrier after attempting to avoid a photographer.
He told the website the incident happened near a toll booth, where he claimed a photographer veered in front of the couple's vehicle, leading him to swerve.

Motherly love! Fergie and Princess Beatrice share a warm hug after leaving London hotel - as the Duchess of York prepares to re-enter the royal fold at Harry and Meghan's wedding

There's been controversy over Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding guest list - with some members of the royal family failing to receive an invitation.
But one person who has made the guest list is Sarah Ferguson, after Harry fought to have her included.
***
Harry and Meghan's guest list has caused some raised eyebrows, with junior members of the royal family believed to be missing out on an invite. ...
However, the Duchess of York is believed to have made the guest list, despite not being invited to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011.
Harry is understood to have personally intervened to make sure Prince Andrew's ex-wife had an invitation to his wedding, along with the reception afterwards.
However, Fergie is understood to have been upset at not having received an invitation to the more intimate evening reception at Frogmore House.

Oops! Palace Releases Official Royal Wedding Program — and Meghan's Dad Is Still in It
People, May 18, 2018
There are just a few more hours until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot — and we now know how it’s all going to go down after the palace released the Order of Service Friday evening.
“Like any couple getting married, Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have taken a great deal of care in selecting all elements for their service,†Kensington Palace said in a statement released with the Order of Service. “This has been a collaborative effort led by Prince Harry and Ms. Markle.â€
Here’s a breakdown of the lengthy Order of Service with everything you need to know — from the hymns to the vows.
1. There’s one glaring error.
The palace released the Order of Service for Harry and Meghan’s wedding just a few hours before they officially tie the knot, and it’s full of details about the couple’s big day. And the most noticeable element of the document? Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father, is still included as the person who will walk Meghan down the aisle to the high altar of St. George’s Chapel. The error, the palace says, is simply a matter of timing.
“The Order of Service was produced before it became clear that Mr. Thomas Markle would be unable to attend the wedding on medical advice,†the palace said in a statement. “As a result, some aspects will be different to what has been printed. As previously announced, Ms. Markle has asked The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of The Quire.
The palace confirmed on Friday that Prince Charles will be walking Meghan down the second portion of the aisle of St. George’s Chapel.
2. And a few timing errors.
There is also an error when it comes to the timing of arrivals: On the Order of Service, it says that Doria Ragland is arriving at 6 a.m. ET, but the palace says she’ll actually arrive at 6:42 a.m. It also says that Prince Charles will arrive at 6:42 a.m., when he’ll actually arrive at 6:45 a.m. (When it comes to the royal family, every minute counts!)
3. Prince Harry and Prince William will arrive at 6:40 a.m. ET.
They’ll be followed by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, at 6:42 a.m., then Ragland, then Prince Charles, followed by the Queen, and finally, the bride herself.

@Freya
So, did she give up her US citizenship or not?
Don't know...I guess you can be a royal and a US citizen
If I were the royal family, I wouldn’t want a US citizen in the family because all of
A sudden the IRS is going to be all up in their private business because all of the non-US entities in which they have an interest will probably have to be reported on a Form 5471, or Form 8865, or Form 8621, and the financials will have to be provided, and the income will become subject to US income tax even if it’s not distributed.
It would only be her and Harry's income wouldn't it.?
Nope. First, there are information-reporting obligations, which usually depend on imputed control and have nothing to do with income. Second, income would be imputed even if neither of them actually received the money, and even if they never would. Every UK mutual fund they’re invested in would be a PFIC which could give rise to phantom income.
Having a US citizen or resident in a non-US family essentially means the IRS is everyone’s new best friend.
Can't you just hear the Queen saying: "Do I have to do EVERYTHING myself??!!" ^-^

I’m sorry
Bawling when she walked down the isle, I’m so lame! I like it better than Kate’s. Much better than Diana’s. Fergie’s was a favorite, with the pearls in the train with the big “A†for Andrew was my second favorite royal gown .

I have a question..since Harry will never be King would Queen E have given William permission to marry Meghan?
This is her 3rd marriage?

@CatherineofAragon
Yes. Her first marriage was for two years and that marriage was annulled. She married her second husband after living with him for 7 years. This marriage ended in divorce after two years.
Queen Victoria rolling in her grave with Meghan wearing white... :silly:
I can almost hear my mother and aunts in a circle saying: She's wearing white AND a face veil. The "tsk-tsks" would be bouncing off the chapel walls.
:laugh:
Okay, can we talk? I thought the procession down the aisle was a bit disjointed and rushed. I thought she was still climbing the stairs when I realized she was half way down the aisle. The kids looked as confused as I felt. :laugh:
I did not like some of the music and the *speakers*..I like traditional ceremonies.
Sermon by Al Sharpton, music by Soul Train.
I thought 90% of the music was awful ... and I would have shortened the civil rights portion of the program. :cool:
(BBC is already reporting that this is a marriage that "will change the world".)

I didn't care enough to watch but was there a Muslim component to the event?course not :amen:
The queen sitting a row back is interesting. I wonder if there was a meaning to that choice versus the front row. I assume it is probably a message that the day isn't about her.
@Right_in_Virginia
I had to go back and watch. It did look a little rushed. It almost looked like Harry was pulling her down the aisle, lol.
I bet she is thinking that no way in hell that Chuckles will be King.
We get it, there’s power in love, geez...can Desmond Tutu sit down now
She is already handing off formal responsibility to him. All of us in the peanut gallery really can't discount that he is her son, not just heir. I suspect she is far more loyal to him than we can imagine.
When I was at the Gym, I saw some pictures of the American Flag. Very nice of them.

WINDSOR, England (AP) — Prince Charles will walk Meghan Markle down the aisle at the royal wedding — stepping in after the father of the bride fell ill just days before the ceremony.
Kensington Palace said Friday that Markle's future father-in-law, the heir to the British throne, would walk the American actress down the aisle at St. George's Chapel in Windsor for her wedding to Prince Harry. The palace says he "is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to the Royal Family in this way."
@Frank Cannon ... so cynical, Frank. I actually like Harry, but he's making a huge mistake. This gal is Trouble.

* Prince William seemed to be desperately trying to hold back a fit of laughter
* Camilla and Kate also shared a look of bemusement during the sermon

My wife had a nice point. With all the deal in the news, death, violence, war; it is nice to have a big of romance and escapism. For us blokes it is sports, for women, it is this. Now I'm off to watch the news Deadpool for some escapism.
I bet she is thinking that no way in hell that Chuckles will be King.
Maybe not. Princess Diana was the proverbial virgin Princess goody two shoes and she basically turned out to be a an adulterous slut.
Meghan I think is going to surprise everyone because she has already sowed her wild oats.. That's my prediction anyway.
@Emjay
I think some of it why a lot of Americans watch is due to the fact the England was our mother country. Yes we left them (for a good reason), but we do have some minor attachments to the Brits.
@mirraflake Whoa. Princess Diana was universally adored and only strayed because Charles had no use for her at all. He married her for a decoration and she was very decorative. He loved another woman all his life and he has her now.
Ok I was a little harsh and regret to a degree what I said. I was trying to make a point albeit to strongly
@Emjay
@mirraflake Forget it, I was harsh about Prince Harry's choice. I don't really know that much about her. To tell the truth, she reminds me of the first girl my son was engaged to. She was a beautiful girl, runner-up to Miss Texas, but she had trouble written all over her.
I prayed every day that he wouldn't marry her and, Thank God, he didn't. He married a wonderful woman.
Maybe Harry will get lucky. I like him a lot. This may be his way of a tiny rebellion.

Truth be told I have never seen a monarch live so long.
Everything the royal family wore to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding
https://globalnews.ca/news/4219884/royal-wedding-outfit-details/
Louis XIV of France is the longest reigning monarch. 72 years. HRH QE II has a bit to go to catch up to him.
Remember that Queen Victoria loved her son Edward, but felt deep down he wasn’t ready for his moment. Thankfully, he reigned about a decade. I think the Queen feels the same way about Charles. Loves him , but thinks William will be a better monarch. I know I personally do feel this way. I feel Charles will be - well, they haven’t had good luck with Charles I and II.
The Queen gave Prince Harry her blessing to get married in the traditional Blues and Royals uniform. Prince Harry's single-breasted uniform is made of blue doeskin. It has white buckskin belt with sword slings. (He did not carry a sword to church, though.)

Prince Harry looked ok in the traditional garb, but Markle...OMG. Who ever designed and 'tailored' her dress did a very poor job, the top of the dress looked way to big and ill fitting....
Is there anything more anachronistic than having a monarchy in 2018?

Electric Jag? That's like putting training wheels on a Harley.
If it uses the same engine as the iPace, then it will be a monster along the lines of Tesla's specs. Especially when considering how much smaller and lighter it probably is.

Depends on what kind of electrics. Electric cars can be absolute monsters if done well. Electric dragsters were banned from regular drag races and had to start their own sport because none of the gassers could compete with the electrics.
Yep, we've moved a long way from this ->

This is the completed royal wedding cake the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex's guests will be tucking into at their Windsor Castle reception.
Kensington Palace tweeted a snap of the non-traditional - and spectacularly pretty - bake, created by Californian Claire Ptak and made using 200 Amalfi lemons, 500 eggs, and 10 bottles of elderflower cordial made at the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
In keeping with the bride and groom's modern approach to their big day, the cake, decorated with three different types of peonies - a favourite flower of Meghan's - is not a traditional tiered creation, but features layers of different sizes displayed on individual gold plinths of varying heights.
The Palace said in a tweet that the 'light sponge' had been 'uniquely formulated' for the royal couple.

Twitter Is Calling Meghan Markle's Wedding Gown "Ill-Fitting" and "Boring"
Harper's Bazaar, May 19, 2018
Meghan Markle's wedding gown is officially dividing social media. Many are calling the gown "gorgeous," "beautiful," and "stunning" – while others are less than impressed. Critics of the gown are taking to Instagram and Twitter, telling followers, royals and Markle fans exactly how Meghan's super-simple wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy has them feeling.
Not only were those anxiously expecting the most epic royal wedding dress of the season feeling a bit let down by Meghan's super-simple gown choice, but they also seem to be underwhelmed by her styling choices overall. Additionally, many weren't so into the who-done-it game of Markle's dress designer, especially when it turned out that not a soul in the running had anything to do with the design.
But Twitter didn't stop with the dress–they went for Meghan's beauty look as well. Those on royal watch expected to see Markle as they know and love her–perfectly polished with a touch of edge. Instead, they were furious to find her hair falling out of place at her hair line and in the back at the nape of her neck, nor were they impressed when her veil wasn't falling perfectly at the ceremony.

I liked the train
I'm surprised that with all of the modernization, they didn't have drones hold it up. Well, non-human drones.

I think this "messy bun" is her signature look @mystery-ak She wore it for the evening reception, too. Although why this would take 45 minutes and a sylist to do is anyone's guess. Give me a hair clip from CVS, 15 seconds ... and Viola! :laugh:

Why Meghan probably won't get any of Harry's money when they marry
excerpts:
That won't fly anymore though as it doesn't look like Meghan will get any of Harry's money when they tie the knot in May.
We already know that Meghan is planning on becoming a British citizen but that's a fairly long process that could take a few years.
Jason Knauf, communication secretary for Prince Harry, confirmed that Meghan would be retaining her US citizenship "through that process".
As long as she's a US citizen, she'll have to pay income tax there and it's unlikely the royal family will be willing to have that drain on their fortune.
'This is even on money earned outside the United States," royal expert Marlene Koenig told The Sun.
"If she receives money from her husband or his family, and that's considered income, she would have to pay income tax on that."
Couples who marry typically share any wealth and assets but Marlene believes Meghan will not be involved with any royal money until she gives up her US citizenship, if that ever happens.
"With that sort of money, if Meghan's name is on that account, most likely she would be dinged – that would have to be reported as income in the United States.
"You can be sure that those at Buckingham Palace and those who run the accounts are looking very carefully at all of this to make sure that the royal family's money does not get reported to the IRS."

A friend of mine emailed me last night. She's taking bets on how long this marriage will last. Her bet is two months. LOL
Actually, they nay surprise all of us and stay married for life. We just don't know.
One basic difference between Markle and Wallis Simpson is that Wallis was married twice plus there is evidence that she had numerous lovers even during her marriage to Edward. One of those lovers was Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Nazi foreign minister. Many believe that Simpson and even Edward were in league with the Nazis. Simpson was a loose gold-digging, possibly traitorous beyotch. Markle doesn't quite compare.
I'm ok with divorce to some extent. I don't think anyone should stay in a marriage that isn't working, particularly if there is one party not willing to put forth the effort. I don't know why Markle's first marriage didn't work out. So I'm not willing to judge her. Instead, I wish the happy couple well.
Meghan had been married twice and was living with another man when she met Harry...who she quickly dumped.
Not saying she is a gold-digger but she will now have a life of luxury..cars, servants, homes, clothes..etc..
Three men who she was *in love* with before her *true love* came along...not buying it...
I am willing to bet that QE would never have approved of this marriage if it was William, heir to the throne. Both QE and her mother detested Wallis for what she did to Edward and the throne of England..I wonder if QE sees any of Wallis in Meghan..
Probably not because William is next in line after his father for the throne, while Harry is so far back, it's highly unlikely he would ever be king.
Wikipedia lists only one prior marriage for Meghan. Where did you get your information?

The source I cited said it was reported in the National Enquirer. *****rollingeyes*****
There were many sources for this months ago ....way before they were even engaged @mystery-ak I don't know if those reports were wrong or scrubbed, but I can't find one source now either.
Either way, I never believed he was the love of her life. For Harry this may be true, but not for her. She convinced Harry a prenup wasn't necessary and he convinced the Queen, so I'm pretty sure she's thinking she's locked herself in for life. (Can you believe it .... she's in without a prenup. Think about that.)
I think she's played him--and the media--beautifully. If Harry was one heartbeat closer to the throne, methinks the Queen would have stopped this. Kate's third pregnancy may have made it possible for Meghan to become a Duchess. ^-^
Reports are Harry really wants kids. She's almost 37 so she's not got a lot of time to play the international feminist royal if she wants to start a family. I'll soften my opinion of her motivations if she gets pregnant during their first year of marriage.
Should we start a pool?
Although, I do read that Princess Beatrice is still available. There is hope for me to be a royal yet, albeit a marginal one.

Not only will you get juicy gossip during the court proceedings, you get the chance for another absurd wedding with carriages and castles!
Although, I do read that Princess Beatrice is still available. There is hope for me to be a royal yet, albeit a marginal one.
Well I have to agree with you...just something about her that leads me to believe she has duped him and everyone else...call it women's intuition which I firmly believe in.
Where I disagree is I am sure she will lock in her position by getting pregnant and giving Harry a child.
But for every true story, there are thousands that are as phony as a $3 bill. ...
Good points @mystery-ak . It is women's intuition. No other way to describe it.
So maybe instead of a pool for whether or not Meghan gets pregnant, maybe we should just go ahead and start planning the shower. :laugh:
But for every true story, there are thousands that are as phony as a $3 bill. The National Enquirer is the epitome of fake news.
I don't know why these stories are being published or where they come from. Maybe someone is jealous of Meghan. Or, as with all these bimbos coming out of the woodwork to accuse celebrities of improper behavior, maybe they are looking for money or fame. Of course, the Enquirer doesn't need any source at all to make up stories. Anyway, I'm going to try to be careful as to what to believe and just wish the newlyweds well.
Good idea. My women's intuition tells me she's already preggers.

The Queen had to approve of the marriage as a whole. Why she did, I have no clue.
Harry didn't need to marry this modern-day Wallis Simpson. The Queen didn't need to allow it. (This is not Prince Charles marrying a divorcee after his ex-wife died. That was forgivable. Marrying a Hollywood divorcee as a first choice? I would have thought that to be a disgrace to the Crown.)
If the wedding had to go through, I would have hoped that the Queen would bestow the millstone title of "Duke and Duchess of Windsor" upon the couple. Alas, she couldn't even do that. It appears now that the sanctity of monogamous marriage has now been abandoned even at the height of royalty.
But hey, it's the 21st century. Who cares about such quaint notions?
Prenups are different in the UK. Harry would not really need one if he wasn’t royal but still wealthy. Because he is royal she can’t lay claim to anything. For example, her engagement ring was bought with royal money and used Diana’s diamonds (on the sides). Markle could never keep it because it’s basically on loan to her. Her home, clothes, jewels, cars, staff, etc. are on loan from QE.

From what I've read about British divorce it's basically you get to take back what you brought with you, if that makes any sense. If there would be a divorce, it's up to the queen to decide what Markle gets in terms of homes, staff, etc., since it belongs to the queen to begin with. For example, QE gave living quarters and a few other perks to Diana after the divorce from Charles. She didn't have to give anything to Diana, but the publicity would have been horrendous, to say the least.
*The Firm*...is this her cute name for all the Royals or do they refer to themselves as The Firm..never heard this before.
The Royals and their workers call it "The Firm" Prince Harry uses the term on a regular basis.

Piers Morgan has a great column today regarding Meghan saying she is a feminist. A so called feminist who quit her career to be married and become a stay at home mom.
The funniest meme I have seen was on twitter. "Strong feminist woman marries unemployed chap who lives with his grandmother"

@CatherineofAragon
I will have a commemorative plate soon. Son will send me one. Have those plates for the royal family going back through the generations. Also have teacups/tea pots from their times. I was into glass/porcelain all my life - my house looks like a museum from around the world as I went from country to country, collecting glassware and cups/teapots and commemorative plates. Been to Monte Carlo twice and brought back commemorative plate of wedding of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.
We collect things all our lives because we like them, like to see them, appreciate them as art. Early glassware made in this country is beautiful. When the east coast was settled, people needed glassware so Westmorland was one of the first to come to the east coast and make glassware. They brought with them a cast of Queen Victoria's hands and reproduced them in a cupped position in milk glass. I have one of those - her hands were tiny.
For those who disliked the gown I say boo!
Remember Diana's? The only ugly dress she ever wore in her life was her weeding dress

BBC has an American catalog with lots of royal merchandise for sale. Top quality stuff. Wedge wood.
Royal DOulton. Etc. Then tea towels, tea cozies, food like cookies in commerative tins.
It's got really nice things.
I just saw a snippit on a photography forum.
The official photographer charged about $38,000.
To put that in comparison, the average US wedding photography runs around $2,500.

Yeah, but you have to convert Pounds to Dollars. When you do that it is the same.
I think this "messy bun" is her signature look @mystery-ak She wore it for the evening reception, too. Although why this would take 45 minutes and a sylist to do is anyone's guess. Give me a hair clip from CVS, 15 seconds ... and Viola! :laugh:

@Right_in_Virginia
Can they make up their minds? It looks like a stud to me, but sorry, I don't think there's a chic way to wear one.
That said, I felt sorry for her, sitting all alone in the church. Charles was kind to look after her once the ceremony was over, though.
I can't recall what Fergie got when she and Andrew divorced. But by then Andrew was no longer in line to the throne.

I want this marriage to work because I like Harry, but am I the only one who thought she was a little too..."on" during the ceremony? She was perfectly poised, but I don't mean that, really. It seemed that every look, glance, movement was movie-perfect, down to the way she looked up at him when he drew back her veil. Maybe it was just me, I don't know. She's an actress, so I guess it's who she is.

Man pleads guilty in plot to attack Prince George's school
The Associated Press Published 2:57 p.m. ET May 31, 2018
LONDON — An alleged Islamic State group supporter who encouraged attacks on 4-year-old Prince George of Cambridge admitted to a string of terror offenses Thursday, two weeks into his trial in London.
Husnain Rashid, who previously said he'd done nothing wrong, switched his plea to guilty on four counts of preparing terrorist acts and encouraging terrorism due to the "overwhelming weight of evidence," the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement.
Rashid, 32, a former teacher at a mosque in northwestern England, was accused of using the Telegram messaging site to encourage "lone wolf" attacks and to provide advice on the use of bombs, chemicals and knives.

June 7 (UPI) -- Inés Zorreguieta, the younger sister of Dutch Queen Maxima and a psychologist working for the Argentinian government, died Thursday, officials in the Netherlands announced. She was 33.
Zorreguieta was found dead in her apartment in Buenos Aires. A Dutch official told NOS TV it appeared that Zorreguieta killed herself.
"The sudden death of Queen Maxima's sister comes as a big shock. It is intensely sad and heartbreaking news that can hardly be comprehended for those who stay behind," Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said.

Actually, there are paintings of Victoria as a teen where she's quite pretty. Having all those children back in the day caused most women to loose their looks.

Not catty at all ... just perceptive. I do not trust her at all. I think she latched onto a vulnerable Harry with an agenda. She's already embarrassed the Queen with a too-revealing dress at the Queen's birthday celebration.
She's gonna cause trouble ... just wait.

She has hot shoulders. oo la la
Did Meghan break protocol with the off the shoulder dress, or was she permitted to wear it as part of the monarchy times? Kate couldn’t wear this, of course, but maybe Meghan is the test dummy for breaking some of the royal rules.
I'm voting that she is now the "Billy Carter" of the Royal Family.Noooooo!

Even the Royal Family loves a freebie!
On Thursday, while supporting his wife, Meghan Markle, at her charity cookbook launch, Prince Harry took a second to check out the appetizer table.
Apparently, the 34-year-old royal could not wait until the official photo session was over and decided to grab himself some tasty treats.
News cameras caught the Prince as he returned to the crowd with several treats in hand, hiding them behind his back.

I'm interested! @Freya, you ready for another wedding?
I love the black and white Instagram photo of the sisters. But I have no idea what a "meringue" style dress is.
Great pic! I love it.

But I have no idea what a "meringue" style dress is.
A type of dress or top where the waist line is raised above the natural waistline, sometimes as high as right below the bust. Meringue. Characterized by a very full skirt that begins at the waist and continues to a formal length. It has a full bodice and a cinched waistline that falls into a full skirt.
Fluffy with lots of ruffles?

It could be a hat, not a baby.
@Right_in_Virginia , the color Kate is wearing is one of the hot colors for winter. It’s in all the fashion catalogs,
Okay . . .
I LOVE the dress and that she wore a tiara with colored gems. The combo is amazing.
Fergie . . . loved the cut but hate the color. She’s trying to riff of the tiara, I get it, but you don’t attempt to coordinate with a one hundred year old priceless heirloom. Her hat is also God awful.
Kate . . . amazing, but we knew that didn’t we wink777
Megan . . . she’s trying to insinuate she’s preggers and she’s not. Nobody likes an attention whore.
I just get sad because I wish Diana was there.
Agree about the attention whore. happy77 But it looks like green was the coordinating color all around. The little girls wore green sashes and the boys green piping on their shirts.

I know it ties back to the tiara, but Fergie’s dress did nothing for me other than the cut. Maybe I’m biased because I don’t like her? I’ll own that.

I'm not a huge fan of Fergie, but (most) redheads wear green well. I think we can all agree she blew it with the wings on the hat. :laugh:

Meghan Markle baby: Why Meghan's Australia tour should be BANNED after pregnancy news
UK Express, Oct 15, 2018
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have announced they are expecting a baby ahead of their first overseas tour to Australia - but this is the reason why the Duchess of Sussex could have been stopped from travelling - and it all comes down to royal protocol.
Kensington Palace revealed the pregnancy on Monday morning as Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, touched down in Sydney.
The royal couple are on a 16-day trip of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, starting officially on Tuesday.
[...]
Meghan and Harry’s long-awaited first royal tour has been in the planning for several weeks.
But the Queen and other senior Royals were only told the news at Eugenie’s wedding on Friday.

I know..I guess it's just me and Fergie who thinks this news could have waited a few days..it was Eugenie's day/weekend not to be upstaged by baby news from Meghan
He's holding hands with the older girl to his right who is leaning over, reassuring others and....he just wants to be in the picture!!! happy77
Pippin had a baby boy this morning. Don’t know how big yet, other than mom and baby are doing fine. She did look like she was about to pop with that photo.

@CatherineofAragon
Any other royal watchers?
(Technically Pippa is a royal in law, not a royal but still....)
Pippa, who was wearing a long blue coat, white shoes and sunglasses, was seen smiling as she entered the Lindo Wing on Monday, a little more than 48 hours after she attended Princess Eugenie's royal wedding in Windsor last Friday.
A spokeswoman for Pippa Middleton and her husband said: 'James and Pippa have had a baby boy.
'He was born Monday 15th October at 1.58pm, weighing 8lb and 9oz. Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well.'
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Kensington Palace said this afternoon that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge 'are thrilled for Pippa and James.'

‘She’s only pregnant – not ill!’: Fury as trolls slam pregnant Meghan for needing a well-deserved rest during her gruelling royal tour
Daily Mail/UK, Oct 21, 2018
Meghan Markle has divided opinion after the mother-to-be made the decision to cut back her busy royal tour schedule following an exhausting few days in Australia.
The Duchess, who is three or four months pregnant, unexpectedly missed an appearance with husband Harry to watch a road cycling race today.
She will also not take part in tomorrow's scheduled events on Fraser Island, the palace has said.
Royal watchers were split following the announcement, with some suggesting she was looking for 'sympathy' while others defended the 37-year-old former actor.
Some angry Twitter users hit out and said 'pregnancy isn't an illness' and she shouldn't take time off because of it.
'Millions of women around the world work through pregnancy with illness because they don't have a choice. It's not news,' one wrote.
Another added: 'she's only pregnant not ill'
While a third wrote: 'I doubt shaking a few hands and lording around Oz is gonna have a detrimental on the pregnancy. Try working in a real public sector business 6 weeks before you give birth. Give us a break from this s*** please.'
But there were many more quick to leap to the Duchess's defence, with one praising her sensible.

A few less-than-chill people on Twitter were quick to point out her exposed arms and shoulders, the thin, beach-ready material, and of course, the amount of leg on the show. Yep, I'm eye-rolling too, but has Meghan technically defied royal protocol with her clothes this time around?

Prince Harry and Prince William's Brotherly "Double Act" Is Coming to a Close
MSN, Oct 28, 2018, In Style
Before Meghan's pregnancy, the two brothers and their significant others were considered by many the royal version of the Fab Four. But according to The Sunday Times' royal correspondent, Roya Nikkhah, fans should prepare themselves for some major changes. "The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex are preparing to go their separate ways," says Nikkhah.
"William and Harry considering plans to split the Kensington Palace household and create two separate courts as their future roles with Kate and Meghan diverge," she adds.
In due time, William will become king and Harry will have a different set of responsibilities. "There is a gulf in the style and approach to the type of work that William and Kate will increasingly do as future head of state and consort, and Harry and Meghan, who have more of a blank canvas with their roles," says a source at The Sunday Times.
The insider continued: "When William becomes the Prince of Wales, he will take on a lot of extra responsibility, including the Duchy of Cornwall and all that entails. Harry and Meghan have none of that, and seem ambitious about forging their own paths."

Meghan's 'Diana moment': Duchess appears to flash her legs through her bespoke Givenchy skirt during walkabout in New Zealand - but all is not what it seems
Daily Mail/UK, Oct 31, 2018
Meghan, 37, seemed to show off more than she bargained for in photographs taken during a walkabout in Rotorua today on the final day of the royal tour.
However, it was in fact simply an optical illusion created by the skirt's heavy woven fabric 'strobing on camera'.
Meanwhile, the stripe design of the skirt also created the illusion of Meghan's underwear - at the point where the lighter stripes become darker again.

Meghan Markle suffers another wardrobe malfunction, wears see-through skirt in New Zealand
Fox News, Oct 31, 2018, Morgan M. Evans
Another day, another wardrobe malfunction.
While on the final leg of their royal tour, Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, took a minute to greet fans while on a walkabout in Rotorua, New Zealand, on Wednesday.
The pregnant 37-year-old paired a royal blue Givenchy short-sleeve sweater with a knit skirt and suede, navy heels for one of her final tour ensembles. But the pleated skirt revealed a little bit more than was probably intended.
In photos captured of the Duchess greeting fans, it is easy to see through the pleated design to reveal what the royal was wearing underneath.
(https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2018/10/640/320/Meghan-skirt-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)
It is possible that Meghan's "malfunction" was merely the Duchess getting in on the sheer dress trend that is a current staple in Hollywood — but a see-through skirt is not something Queen Elizabeth would likely approve.
Just last week Meghan suffered another fashion snafu when she was snapped with a price tag still on her dress while getting off an airplane with her husband in the Kingdom of Tonga. The price tag was clearly left on the dress and, thanks to a strong gust of wind while Meghan and Harry deplaned, the world was able to see the royal's accidental fashion faux pas.

Here's Why Meghan Markle Didn't Stand With Kate Middleton During a Ceremony
MSN, Nov 12, 2018, Cosmopolitan
Yesterday, the entire royal fam attended a Remembrance Ceremony to honor those who lost their lives in WWI. Meghan Markle went, and to a mere mortal, it looked like she got totally shaded by where she had to stand.
Here's where Kate Middleton watched the ceremony, with Queen Elizabeth and Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall.

This isn't a slight. It's just about the royal order. Because Harry is the younger brother and won't be the king, sometimes Meghan gets the short end of the stick. TBH, she still had a pretty good view for both of these events.

It’s still not that big. When is she due? April?
At this point, it's unclear exactly when the newest royal baby will arrive, but the Palace has confirmed that Meghan's due date is sometime in the Spring of 2019. Several other royal correspondents have pinpointed the date closer April or May, given that Meghan had already had her 12-week scan at the time of the announcement.

Meghan Markle will not age well-look at her mom. Very few older black women look good in later age and Meghan has enough black genes in her
"Black genes"? What a strange statement. And, her mother looks fine. Not sure what you think is wrong with her.

Agreed. None of my black jeans age well, either. I’ve even tried the special laundry soap and they all eventually fade and stretch out of shape.
Black people and people of Middle Eastern culture look good young but age terribly. Latina women age well as long as they don't gain weight.
It's the truth. Stop being PC. This is not DU
@Sanguine
You seem to be confused. Let me help you out: being anti-racist is not PC.
I didn't even mention the large dollop of misogyny in your statement.
So we are not allowed to be misogynists either Little Lady? Well that sure does takes the giddyup out of my get go Sweetums.

Oh here we go. Misogyny, misogyny, misogyny.
Men are bashed unmericifully every day on the internet 1000 times worse than women.. Every commercial has the husband being a ignorant dolt having to be saved by his all knowing wife. Women walk around on campuses with men suck t shirts.
What I said was not racist. I also believe women from Eastern Russian states age badly also.
Asian women age well, is that a racist comment??

Oh jeez, well if you don't have a thigh gap then don't even bother, just put on a muumuu and be done with it.
Do you think that poster is a chick? They have a cockroach as an avatar and their handle is about killing people, but then they asked me to buy them Loubs.

Dude! The avatar is because @DCPatriot got pissy at us noobs the other night. I actually got an NCAA scholarship for riflery, and no I didn’t twirl plastic guns I used really expensive guns (Anschutz) to punch paper. I do enjoy great shoes. I have bad feet and they’re going to feel like shit anyway so why not look like a million bucks? As far as the thigh gap, I work out religiously but that evades me. I’m cool with it, as is Mr. Goodwithagun. He’s awesome.
You can still wear great shoes with your muumuu.
Or my skinny’s and off shoulder peplum, but what evs.
Actually I asked you to by him/her Loubs, but Loub does make men's shoes, so who knows. Then again, this is on the men's shoes menu, so bleep if I know:

Marie Antoinette Pearl Pendant Sells for Record $32 Million
By The Associated Press
November 14, 2018 Updated: November 14, 2018
GENEVA—A large, drop-shaped natural pearl pendant sold for a hammer price of $32 million at an auction of jewelry that once belonged to French Queen Marie Antoinette, which Sotheby’s is calling a record price for a pearl at auction.
The “Queen Marie Antoinette’s Pearl,†a diamond-and-pearl pendant, was among the highlight offerings on the block at the Sotheby’s sale of jewelry from the Bourbon-Parma dynasty.
Like many of the 10 former Marie Antoinette pieces up for sale on Nov. 14, the pendant obliterated the pre-auction—in its case, $1 million to $2 million.

Meghan Markle is a ruthless social climbing actress who has landed the role of her life and is determined to milk it for all she can - and that’s why the Palace is beginning to turn on her
By Piers Morgan for MailOnline

I was ghosted by Meghan Markle.
If you’re not familiar with the term ‘ghosting’, it’s when someone you thought was a friend suddenly cuts off all communication with you, with zero warning, and then you never hear another word from that person again.
I remember it very clearly because it’s never happened to me before.
So I found it very weird.
The saga began one afternoon in the fall of 2015 when I decided to follow on Twitter four stars of the US legal drama Suits - including Ms Markle.

Yep. I think she’s in over her head though. You don’t mess with The Firm. Plus, UK divorce laws are different not to mention the special laws about marrying royal.
There's a lot negative chatter about this couple and for whatever reason it doesn't matter, it's the audience, not those directly involved.
...hmm... I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.
It seems to already have -- Meghan and Harry are moving away from Kate and William. Supposedly they are moving because they want to be were they were married ... not buying it. Meghan is out for Meghan and only cares about Meghan. She's having Harry's baby and she is now set for the rest of her life.

Harry has created quite a media frenzy; a royal marrying a person from a mixed race. For Markle, this has been seen as quite an accomplishment. Obviously Harry married her for love and didn't care about the impact on the royal family. Then on the other hand there are those who idolize this couple because they are so politically correct!
Meghan Markle's baby bump cradling sparks Twitter backlash
Fox News Entertainment, Dec 12, 2018
Meghan Markle sparked a global debate about baby bump cradling after her surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards this week.
The Duchess of Sussex, 37, posed in a way at the style-centered event that some interpreted as hammy and others as maternal, as she presented an award to her wedding dress designer, Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller.
"Cupping the bump? WHOB DOES THIS? #MeghanMarkle who the hell does she think she is Madonna and child? Something VERY creepy going on in this woman's head," one user wrote.
"#MeghanMarkle holding on to that bump like someone’s about to snatch it," another quipped.

France buries Henri of Orleans, the man who would be king
Dreux (France) (AFP) - Prince Albert of Monaco and Spain's former queen on Saturday led a host of royals and aristocrats at the funeral of Prince Henri of Orleans, a pretender to the French throne which was done away with in the 19th century.
The duke of Paris died aged 85 on January 21 -- by coincidence, the anniversary of the execution of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution in 1793.
"This is a page in the history of France that is being turned," Stephane Bern, an expert on European monarchies, told AFP at the funeral at the Chapel of Saint Louis in northern Dreux, the traditional burial place of members of the House of Orleans.

Five of Meghan Markle 's closest friends have spoken out for the first time after keeping silent for more than two years.
The anonymous pals have come forward to "stand up against the global bullying we are seeing and speak the truth about our friend".
Earlier this month it was revealed that Meghan and the Duchess of Cambridge's staff are spending hours each week dealing with vile messages sent by trolls on social media, including "violent threats" and sexist and racist comments .

Prince Harry paid tribute to the victims of the Tunisia attacks as he attended a memorial on Monday. The royal made a solo appearance in Birmingham as he attended a dedication ceremony of the official memorial. The memorial contains a sculpture called "Infinite Wave," which symbolizes the British nationals killed in the Bardo Museum attack in March 2015 and the Sousse attack in June 2015. During his visit, Harry spent some time with some of the families affected by the attacks as he chatted with them and took a few photos.

•It's likely to be in recognition of the Duchess's work as member of the monarchy
•The announcement comes on her eighth wedding anniversary to Prince William

I hope I’m still alive to see Kate’s coronation.
Me too, @QueenCatofAragon
But right now I’m on baby watch. Come on Megan! push it out! We are waiting! (cue Tom Petty)
About a week ago, Twitter went crazy over news that was supposedly leaked to the British press that William had an affair with one of Kate’s friends. I don’t know what to make of the story. At first I thought it was tabloid gossip. Then the story was confirmed in detail by a few people who know/write about the royals. One of them said the affair has been common knowledge for a while among the upper class in England. And it seems to be an agreed-upon point that the woman in the affair was the one who leaked.
Last night I found a long article which goes deep into the allegations. A couple of the things claimed seem kind of odd, and they’re pointed out in the comments. There are also comments from people who work for British publications that have been gagged by the Palace. They say the affair has been known for a while.
Should I post the link to the article? Yeah, it’s gossip but it’s interesting. The royals are in the end real people and no one ever knows what goes on in a marriage. Considering that William grew up with both parents screwing around on each other, I guess it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he learned it from them.

Temporarily starting new thread to be merged here in a day or so
Good news. The Queen is putting Missy Markle in her place and rightfully so. She is a duchess and will always be a duchess and she needs to learn her place in the royal family; otherwise she is creating dissension into the family and tarnishing their image.
The senior source added: “The Queen likes Meghan personally but this is about the hierarchy. She is showing that maintaining the correct order and precedence within the family is important. Even if Meghan is the most popular woman in the world, she is of a lower rank than Kate.â€
The Duchess was stopped from wearing an emerald tiara at her nuptials last May, leading hubby Harry to explode: “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.â€
She eventually wore a diamond and platinum headpiece chosen by the Queen. Sources at the time said Meghan “can be difficult†and has “high standards†because she is “used to working in a Hollywood environment.â€
LOL... there are first world problems, there are 'privilege problems' and then there is this level that is out of the stratosphere of those.

@QueenCatofAragon
@mystery-ak
@OTHERS
I don't come to your Royal Happenings thread, but this time I am. Megan is black. I took "Heredity" at my university. The black gene is prominent including their hair. I am wondering what this baby will look like. Although appearance shouldn't matter, the reality is, it will.
Now, I am going to make all of you envious. When son, Wayne, and to be wife, Amy, who is Welch, came here for Christmas they gave me a gift. On Christmas day, here is what was in the large package. (Get ready to want it):
A large white tray with handle at each end; in the middle was the official picture of Prince Harry and Meghan. The official picture on anything has this above their picture: "To Commemorate the Royal Wedding of (then across the bottom: "H.R.H. Prince Harry & Meghan Markle". Under that is "19th May 2018".
There was also the official porcelain plate with their official picture on it inscribed as above. There were four coasters, each with the official picture and inscription.
I can tell you right now, when the baby commemorative cup comes out, they will get one for me.
My townhouse is a museum of countries around the world. The greatest amount of history I have is the English since I have been there so many times. I have the official plates/cups/tea sets, and from English Queens going back to Queen Victoria, who was the best Queen of all. Besides cups/plate/tea set from her reign back to the 1800s (see below for her reign), I have her original signature on a document, a large copy of a painting of her family, also one of her, and have a book she wrote. She was Queen when England was growing at a fast rate, and she kept control of building and the style the builders used, she was a working queen and a good mother instead of just a figure.
I don't have anything pertaining to the present Queen, because I don't like her. I followed, through Wayne, and when I was there numerous times, the stuff she did against Diana.
Reign of Queen Victoria:
Queen Victoria ascended to the throne on June 20, 1837, and stayed there until her death on January 22, 1901. Officially, Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, seven months, and two days. By September 23, 1896, she had surpassed King George III as the longest reigning monarch in the history of England and Scotland.
Queen Victoria and her first cousin Prince Albert, who married on February 10, 1840, had nine children. The marriage of the children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert into other royal families, and the likelihood that some of her children bore a mutant gene for hemophilia affected European history.
I don't know if any of you heard this recently - a few weeks ago. Harry and Meghan are moving to Africa to live. They will be away from the opinions of others, raising their child, and Harry has some connection with Africa.
He looks just as giddy as a new father should. Very sweet.
@QueenCatofAragon
You said, "My heritage is mostly British, I'm an Anglophile, and I love reading about English history, including the monarchy, going all the way back to Egbert of Wessex. If I ever visit you, you should hide your official merchandise, and hide it well."
I was thinking of you and Freya when I wrote that - I knew you particularly would be super duper envious. You know I love you - 44444heart I would so like for you to see/handle all the numerous English Queens' porcelain pieces/tea sets, plates made on their anniversary dates of being a queen back to the 1800s and the original documents, books I have.
A glass company, Westmoreland, came to this country in the early years, to make glassware for the people here and they brought with them a mold of Queen Victoria's hands. They used white porcelain and made the hands of Queen Victoria in a cupped position. Her hands were very small. There is a reverence when looking at Queen Victoria's hands. These dishes were used in a household near the front door for people to put their cards in when they came to visit. I have one of these dishes, I would love for you to see it and handle it.
I'll do this. I'll make a list for my son to send you certain pieces, including the hands, when I am no longer here. The hands would be safe with you.
@QueenCatofAragon
Is that Queen Mary the one who was a kleptomaniac and has the awesome dolls house at Windsor Castle?
She was also engaged to be married to Queen Victoria’s grandson who is one of the candidates to possibly be Jack The Ripper. He died and she married the other grandson.
She also has a ship docked in Southern California docked and turned into a hotel and restaurant named after her.
I just added that book to my reading list. I’ve read everything by Lady Frazier and Alison Weir.
Baby alert
Some time this morning, the parents will present the baby to the public and announce the name they chose for him. According to Sky News.
Anyone have any names in mind? I don’t have a clue except it won’t be Richard.

He’s adorable but most babies are.
No name yet.

@Right_in_Virginia
Yep, he’s adorable, all right. Mom and Dad look very happy.
Now watch, even though it wouldn’t be traditional for him to be a prince, people will be calling for the queen to make him one, anyway. And for one reason.
@ABX
The Royal Family is a PR company that is the "official face and tourist attraction" of England. If she thinks she is going to come in on an operation that has been going on for more than a century and take over because she has tits and gall,she is going to be sadly surprised. They have standards to maintain in order to maintain their influence,and they WILL enforce them if it means giving her and Harry the boot.
Right now she is the perfect match for the family that has business interests and historical ties in many countries with black populations. If she plays her cards right,she will have it all. If she gets too pushy,she will find herself on the sidelines wondering what happened.
And let's face it,she was,at BEST,a second string star on tv programs. Most people had no idea who she was before her marriage because they had never seen or heard of her before. Yeah,she is pretty and talented,but the entertainment business is LOADED with women who are pretty and talented,and most of them are not in their mid-30's and fading.
She needs to count her lucky stars and get with the program while she is still allowed to read the scripts.

I don't come to your Royal Happenings thread, but this time I am. Megan is black.
@Victoria33@QueenCatofAragon
Oh, my Lord, listen—you know I love you, too, but I don’t want you feeling that you have to send me your precious things! The hands sound amazing. Victoria was a very petite woman.
It just struck me—is she your namesake (TBR name)?
@Freya
Yes, that’s her! Elizabeth’s grandmother. Her dollhouse is incredible. The little cars have tiny gasoline engines that work, and the tiny bottles in the wine cellar contained real wine.
That first grandson, the one who died, was weird. RIP, but once Mary got to know him, she was apprehensive about the marriage. She and George V were a much better match.
According to this book, the kleptomaniac thing was a misconception or possibly started by resentful shopkeepers who hid valuable items if they knew she was coming. She was very much into cataloguing and organizing the treasures in the royal storehouses, to the point that many furnishings at Windsor castle and Buckingham Palace have labels on the back, in her handwriting, with information about each piece. If she saw an item in an antique shop which she believed was originally part of the royal collection, she would ask that it be returned, lol.
I’ve read several Alison Weir books, but it’s been a while and I’ll bet she’s written more since then. I should check. Who’s Lady Frazier? You recommend?
Someone mentioned that they will be moving to Africa.
Something to consider: The baby is half American and could run for President.
Will they bless the rains?
I don’t think he can be made a prince, I know that Andrew’s and Edward’s children have the title Lord and Lady. I think Anne’s children have the same titles even though Anne removed them from any claims to succession
At one time I could recite Burke’s Peerage but alas, I can’t do that anymore
Baby Sussex will be known as Master Archie! Harry and Meghan name their new son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor as they take him to meet the Queen (but he won't have a royal title)

She wrote a very good bio of every King and Queen since Edward the Confessor and William the Conquerer to the present Queen. It’s readable and fascinating and a great book to have as a guide. I also have her books on Charles II, Cromwell, The Warrior Queens. Her most famous book is The Weaker Vessel
Here’s her bio she lead a very interesting life

Someone mentioned that they will be moving to Africa. Good for them. Baby won't have a royal name anyways and Harry is far down the line with little chance of ever being seated.
Enough of them already.
I much prefer hearing about William and Kate.

I don't think Africa is a done deal yet
@mystery-ak
I honestly don't believe it ever was anything more than a image booster. She is a professional actress,and she lusts after public recognition,big lights,big excitement,wearing expensive dresses and jewelry,and mentions on tv and in gossip sheets.
None of which are available in Africa.
And given her skill as an actress and the attention she now has worldwide from marrying into British Royalty,you just KNOW some Hollywood big-shot direction is going to be offering her a starring role in a new movie.
She may be in a position now where she doesn't give a damn about the money,but there is no way in hell she is going to give up the attention something like that would bring.
If Megan named baby after a cat, she’s even cooler than she was in my eyes.
Hurray for baby Archie!
Naming your first born after a cat?? Seriously, that's just plain strange. Can you imagine the poor kid throughout life ... "oh, and who are you named after"? A 'royal' named after a cat. I bet the Queen is so pleased with her!

DOUBLE DUCH
Kate Middleton was ‘tense’ during carriage ride with ‘relaxed’ Meghan Markle
ACCORDING to a body language expert, Kate’s posture showed a lack of 'relaxation', next to beaming Meghan who did her first appearance since giving birth to Archie. Although the royals were all smiles, Judi James says that the group appearance seemed less than natural, in the wake of rumours of a rift between the Fab Four.

Prince Harry is caught telling Meghan to 'turn around' at Trooping the Colour: Duke directed his wife to face the front for the national anthem on palace balcony, lip reader reveals
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 14, 2019
Prince Harry told the Duchess of Sussex to 'turn around' during Trooping the Colour, a lip reading expert has revealed.
The Duke of Sussex, 34, was filmed speaking to Meghan, 37, while she was stood in front of him on the balcony of Buckingham Palace last Saturday.
At one point the Duchess turned back to speak to her husband twice in quick succession, prompting Prince Harry to utter two brief phrases in response. The exchange sparked widespread speculation on social media over what was said.
Analysing the footage, MailOnline's lip reading expert concluded Prince Harry said to Meghan, 'yes, that's right' when she looked at him the first time, before adding: 'Turn around... Look,' when she turned back to him a short time later.
The exchange came moments before the start of the national anthem. The Royal Family traditionally face forwards out to the crowds while the anthem is played.

The National Enquirer fwiw, has on it's cover that Harry and Meghan are on the outs with the Queen... you've got to see it for oneself. Maybe I am overstating the case, see it the next time one is at the supermarket or CVS... or wherever, the NE website does have this:

@TomSea
Pure HorseHillary. Not one chance in hell of her disowning the family emissary to the 3rd World. Harry and his half (1/4?) black wife are the PERFECT emissaries to represent the family business interests in the 3rd World,and make no mistake about it,the British Royal Family is nothing more than a closely-held corporation with the British government and military on-call to help them if anybody gives them any trouble. The British people get the family as a tourist attraction,and the family gets the protection of the British government in exchange.
I've always wondered if when you consider the costs to bankroll the royals, plus upkeep their lavish lifestyles, and residences, what the net cost plus or minus is to the average Brit. My gut guess is that it is probably pretty close to break even.

Meghan Markle ‘Miserable’; Reportedly Gave Prince Harry Ultimatum To Leave Royal Family
By Catherine Armecin
Meghan Markle is reportedly miserable and she gave Prince Harry an ultimatum to choose between her and his family.
The Duchess of Sussex allegedly convinced her husband to leave the royal family.
“Meghan is so miserable that she can’t face being stuck in the UK for much longer,†a source told Life & Style magazine.
“She wants to move to Southern Africa. And she effectively gave him an ultimatum: If they don’t relocate, she wants out. It’s her or his family at this point, and Harry’s chosen his wife.â€

This looks like something you'd see in the National Enquirer but it's not... I'm not obsessed with the Royal Family, the newspaper is certainly putting their credibility on the line with such a gossipy story. originally in Style magazine, well, they don't sound that credible either.:

@TomSea
That's BullBush. They are moving to Africa anyhow,to be the Crowns political and business representative there. Plan has been in the works for a while,maybe even since the Royal Family discovered he was going to marry a half-black woman. The Royal Family is a separate unit from the British government and owns a BUNCH of businesses in Africa,Asia,and for all I know,America. A Prince with a black wife is a dream come true for them in this day of black African resentments towards whites.
I am NOT saying they encouraged him to marry a black woman to stiffen up the family businesses,but I'm not saying they didn't,either. They are pretty damn shrewd when it comes to business.
The only question in MY mind is "Yeah,she's going to love posing as "the Queen of Africa" for a while,but this is a woman who loves the bright lights and parties of the western world,so I don't imagine that her love for posing as a Queen of Africa is going to last once she gets bored with African Royalty kissing her ass.
Truth to tell,I am going to be shocked if she is still married to him and not living in the US 5 years from now. She is a professional actress/attention whore with some fame as an actress,and just wait until she gets bored and some producer offers her a starring role in a movie or series being filmed in Hollywood or NYC,and she's going to be out the door like a shot and headed for fame and fortune in Hollywood.

Buckingham Palace denies rumor that Meghan Markle, Prince Harry told neighbors not to speak to them
by Hunter Lovell
| July 27, 2019 05:12 PM
Buckingham Palace denied a rumor that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told their neighbors not to talk to them or approach them for favors.
"The Duke and Duchess didn't request this, didn't know about it, and had nothing to do with the content or guidance offered," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The Sun reported that “an overly protective palace official†distributed the royal commandment at a resident meeting without the knowledge of the duke and duchess.
Greetings such as "good morning" were reportedly banned, and residents were prohibited from offering to babysit their newborn child, Archie.
"It’s extraordinary. We’ve never heard anything like it. Everyone who lives on the estate works for the royals and knows how to behave respectfully," one resident said. "We aren’t told how to behave around the Queen like this. She’s very happy for people to greet her."
Around 400 people live on the Windsor estate in the Home Park and Great Park neighborhoods.

@mystery-ak
I smell a Markle at work,here. Evertbody else in the Royal Family are born knowing better than this. She is the only outsider,and given that she is in show biz it would almost count as a knee-jerk reaction.
Well someone told this aide/employee to do this...my bet both of them did...@mystery-ak
@mystery-ak
He KNOWS better. He has been taught his entire life to play the role so the Royal Family maintains their position and lose none of their properties or contracts. If he is already THAT "whipped" so early in that marriage,he might as well go ahead and slash his wrists and get it over with.
I'm afraid he is...
@mystery-ak
That's never good,no matter who you or your family are. It sets you up for abuse,and you WILL be abused.
Well, maybe the royals will learn their lesson this time..... Don't marry American papprazi-ish trash.
:silly:
Guess we won't be seeing Andy anymore....must be a lot more coming re Epstein... wink777
@mystery-ak
Yes,we will. He is basically a victim of this. He hooked up with this girl at a party,almost certainly realized she was a pro,and I defy you or anyone else to tell a 17 year old pro in professional makeup from one 25 years old.
Somebody gave him some eye candy he naturally assumed was of legal age,and he took it. This stuff has most likely been happening to him his entire life.
She looks like a 17-year old in the photos.
@Sanguine
I confess to not having seen them.
Even if she does look young,there is a natural presumption that any female at one of those parties is an adult,or why would she be there? Add alcohol (at a minimum) intake to the mixture to impair judgement,and it's understandable.
Blame the pimp,not the customer who has no reason to believe the women offered to him are not adults.
BTW,I am no fan of Royal Families. The Kennedy Klan killed that forever for me.
BS, Pete. I blame the pimp and the john. And, adult women who participate willingly in the transaction, but not underage girls.
The whole purpose of Epstein was supplying YOUNG girls....that is what this is all about...
@Sanguine
Blame Santa if it makes you feel better,but a 17 year old girl selling her ass is NOT an "innocent" in ANY meaning of the word.
No, she is no longer innocent. Not sure what that has to do with what I said though.
@Sanguine
It means she understood what was happening,was a willing participant,and shares in any blame going around.
No, that's not what it means. Your logic slipped a cog there.
Wow. So, we accept the unsubstantiated word of a liar when it’s convenient to our political prejudices, but demand absolute, definitive, objective proof when it’s not.
How very convenient.

A woman who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sex abuse and alleged she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew as a 17-year-old has urged him to "come clean".
Speaking after a hearing for alleged victims in the wake of Epstein's death, Virginia Giuffre told reporters the prince "knows what he's done".
The Duke of York has previously denied these claims.
A coroner ruled Epstein killed himself this month while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Queen Elizabeth’s ‘displeasure’ grows as ex-PM David Cameron spills details of private meetings

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron prompted a rare royal rebuke this week from Buckingham Palace, after he made several claims about private meetings with Queen Elizabeth II during a media tour promoting his new memoir.
On Thursday, Cameron told the BBC that some years ago he asked the queen – who is supposed to remain politically neutral – to help the pro-“remain†side in Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum.
He said he felt “panic†that the pro-secession side might win, and told her private secretary that “just a raising of the eyebrow, even, you know, a quarter of an inch, we thought might make a difference.â€

Prince Harry walks across Angolan minefield to reconnect with Princes Diana's legacy
It's day six of the Duke of Sussex' royal tour of Africa with his wife Meghan and baby Archie. But Friday morning, Harry returned to Angola alone to reconnect with the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Diana's legacy was brought full circle when Harry donned the distinctive blue body armor of the HALO Trust. Twenty-two years ago, Diana took a similar path across an Angolan field scattered with deadly landmines, left over from years of civil war. It became one of the most iconic images of her short life.

Meghan sues Mail on Sunday over private letterThe BBC story (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-49901047) doesn't indicate what the letter said.
59 minutes ago
The Duchess of Sussex has begun legal action against the Mail on Sunday over a claim that it unlawfully published one of her private letters.
In a statement, the Duke of Sussex said he and Meghan were forced to take action against "relentless propaganda".
Prince Harry said: "I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces." [What? That was over 20 years ago. Man up.] ...
He accused the paper of misleading readers when it published the private letter, by strategically omitting paragraphs, sentences and specific words "to mask the lies they had perpetrated for over a year".
"Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. We all know this isn't acceptable, at any level," he said. ...
What the hell is a property designer? Is that a fancy way of saying he is a landscaper or gardener?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess he has never worked a day in his life.
I thought perhaps that he was an interior decorator so I googled "property designer" and got this: "A property designer or prop designer is a person who designs props for use in theatre, film, television, etc."
Queen's Speech: All the pomp, but very bizarre circumstances
Laura Kuenssberg Political editor @bbclaurak on Twitter
14 October 2019
(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/F91C/production/_109227736_queen'sspeech.jpg)
There was all of the usual pomp, but today took place in very bizarre circumstances indeed.
Traditionally, of course, the Queen's Speech is an enormously significant political day - the occasion when a government reveals its intentions to the world, the promises it will actually try to keep, rather than the ones it made to anyone who was listening during an election campaign.
This time, the Queen's Speech might have almost no meaning at all unless the prime minister can keep the one big promise that he made months ago: to take us out of the European Union by the end of this month.

Kate Middleton giggles after she trips in high heels
AOL.com Editors
The Duchess of Cambridge almost took a spill at her most recent engagement, but she recovered gracefully and with a quick laugh.
The royal joined Prince William on Tuesday to meet with Shout volunteers at the organization's Crisis Volunteer celebration held at Troubadour White City Theatre in London, which brought together supporters from across the United Kingdom.
Their engagement seemed to go without a hitch -- that is, until the duchess lost one of her Gianvito Rossi Piper 85 sued pumps while exiting the venue and almost went down with it.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry missed a key Queen's event again: their traditional Christmas meal
93-year-old monarch calls for annual family reunion at Buckingham Palace
December 18, 2019
The royal family attended Buckingham Palace on Wednesday for their traditional pre-Christmas reunion, however the absentees this year were Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and little Archie.
Each year Queen Elizabeth II calls for the family reunion before she vacations her sandringham property, where she spends Christmas.
On this feast, the main core of the British monarchy gathers at Windsor Castle to celebrate Christmas Eve with Queen Elizabeth, who moved there from mid-December to February for her winter holiday.Christmas celebrations are also part of the real commitments.

Financially independent? So they're going to pay for their own security, housing, clothes, jewelry and travel?? THIS I'd like to see.
Come on, Harry. Man-up and relinquish your and your children's claim to the throne and go live the life Meghan's chosen for you.
Should be interesting. Does this mean that Harry and Meghan will get jobs in the public sector? I had heard that they were contemplating a move to Canada? If all else fails they can live with Doria. Maybe Harry can be a stay at home Daddy while she gets back into her modeling career. They have options. happy77
Prince Harry’s ‘dispute’ with brother Prince William confirmed by close friend
By Jessica Bennett
January 8, 2020 | 3:16pm
Shortly before news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping away from the royal family broke, Harry’s friend, journalist Tom Bradby, confirmed months-long rumors of a “dispute†between the Duke of Sussex and big brother Prince William. ...
Prince Harry, 35, briefly addressed a rift with his older brother, 37, in October, saying in the ITV documentary “Harry & Meghan: An African Journeyâ€: “Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens. But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.â€

BREAKING. BBC Understands that no other member of the Royal Family was consulted before Harry and Meghan issued their personal statement tonight, the Palace is understood to be ‘disappointed’.
As much as Harry likes to play dress up, he'll have a grand time with Canada's party boy prime minister.

Well I had her pegged from the beginning...just too bad she has alienated Harry and William..they were very close..
They didn't even notify QE2 of this decision according to the above article
I think it's just a matter of time before Meghan is involved in some type of scandal and unfortunately Harry will have already distanced himself from the Royals. Very, very sad. She disrupts centuries of Royal traditions and close-knit family ties.
I think the Queen is probably devastated or perhaps she's glad Meghan won't be in the picture as much. I wonder what Harry's mum must be thinking looking down on them?
Royal breaking news: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back from official duties
The Sussexes released a lengthy statement on Instagram
(https://www.hellomagazine.com/imagenes/royalty/2020010882878/meghan-markle-prince-harry-step-down-royal-family/0-399-476/harry-meghan-royal-t.jpg)
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced their decision to step back from royal duties. In a lengthy statement posted to Instagram, Harry and Meghan, who have just returned from their six-week break in Canada, revealed they plan to become financially independent and will split their time between the UK and North America. The couple wrote: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment."

"We intend to..work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.... It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.... Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.
What a pair of spineless grifters. If they really wanted to be independent, then they should give up all their allowances and start working for a living. Instead, that weaselly statement says:
In other words, they want to continue living off the national teat until they can figure out some other way to get money for which they don't have to actually work.
@Maj. Bill Martin
Don't let anybody kid you. Yeah,they get paid for their performances,which is only right because it IS work,and it DOES bring in tourist dollars as well as give the country a point to rally around,but the Royal Family is insanely rich. Right now the Queen controls it and how much everybody gets,but soon it will be Charles with the keys to their bank. There is zero danger of any of them going hungry or needing an actual job.
Besides,she really is a talented actress,and now that she is Royalty too,she will get getting mega salary's for any role she takes. Think "Princess Grace Kelly",but continuing to star in movies. Once she has a firm lock on that,she will be telling Harry to hit the road,and he will then be back with his family. She now has a Royal son,so there is no danger of them ever cutting off her cash flow from England. I don't know the law,but I am GUESSING one of the prime reasons she wanted to move to North America is that when the day does come when she tells Harry to leave,she gets to keep the kid and the wealth that comes with him.
And she is going to make a LOT of money once she gets back into show biz.
She's prepping him for a reality TV show. Bank on it. With a (former) Prince as a star? They'll break contract records for payment.

I seriously doubt it. Reality shows are for attention whores that have no talent. She is actually a talented actress,and she is going to collect mega salaries for any role she accepts. She is also smart,and understands she needs to pick and choose her roles,and is now in a position where she can do that. Too much too often,and she kills the Golden Goose.
Maybe Harry is just celebrating his significant German heritage.
Hell, he can open a mini-monarchy in Canada, and resurrect his Saxe-Coburg themed lineage. He sure lost his head over this Hollywood wench. Boy has truly succumbed to the title the duke of susSEX.

I don't think he is legimate son of Chuck and Diana.
@sneakypeteQuoteI see your point, but to perpetuate the lifestyle of a Royal (and a so called Charitable Organization) is going to take a lot more than a decent movie role a year.
What is the practical difference between living with a 100 million dollar budget,or a billion dollar budget? Harry STILL gets his cut of the Family Pie,regardless of where he lives.QuoteI can see the couple getting unprecedented reality show money for a Kardashian kind of Garbage boob tube show.
Not one chance in hell of this happening,period. His family will not allow it,and neither will her ego.QuoteThat is unless the happy couples learns to live within the means of normal rabble.
Ok,tell me HOW that is even remotely possible,given that he and she are BOTH multi-millionaires,AND the fact that HE and his SON will ALWAYS be Royals,and get their annual cut of the Royal Family Pie.
Wallace Simpson Simpson married King Edward,and because of that he had to resign from the Throne as King of England,and they spent the rest of their lives living in wealth and comfort,and that was after basically "resigning from the family". Harry is still going to perform all his duties,so WHY are all you people predicting they will live in poverty and need to do reality tv shows to get the money to keep the electricity on?
QuoteA quick check of the finances from the interwebs says she is worth $5M, him $40M. (mostly in trusts). They'll burn through that in 3-5 years.
Class envy and warfare is never pretty. I thought it was only Dims that played those games.

Same comment...see above. Edward and Simpson welcomed staying on the Royal UK trough, and even kept begging for more. You really think he and Meagan are going to give up their lavish lifestyle? He may reverse that call after suffering a bit, but if the are really stating they are going toward financial independence, I will believe it on that merit.

Kate's birthday is overshadowed by royal crisis as it emerges Prince Harry 'DEFIED' Queen's orders not to announce he and Meghan Markle will quit and left Prince Charles and Prince William 'incandescent with rage' by giving them just 10 minutes' notice
Royal family gathered at Kensington Palace to celebrate the Duchess of Cambridge's 38th birthday today
But celebrations were marred by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell announcement overnight
Prince Charles and Prince William were among the senior royals set to meet today to discuss the fallout
Both heirs were said to be 'incandescent with rage' at learning of plans 10 minutes before announcement
Royal sources today claimed Prince Harry had ignored crystal-clear orders from the Queen on the subject

But he defied order, going ahead with the announcement and 'pressing the nuclear button' on royal career

Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra providing luxe hideout for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle
By Emily Smith and Oli Coleman
January 12, 2020 | 12:43pm
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been hiding out at the home of Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra, whose close ties to the Clintons have created international controversy, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Harry and Meghan refused to reveal the owner of the multi-million dollar waterfront mansion near Victoria, British Columbia — the place where they plotted their shock exit from the royal family.
But multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told Page Six that the owner is Giustra, 62, who made his fortune as a stockbroker, co-founded Hollywood studio Lionsgate — producing flicks including “American Psycho†and the Michael Moore documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11†— and is best known in the US as one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation. ...

Harry could have found a Swedish commoner if he wanted to be exotic. This gal is the Yoko Ono of the royal family ... he may as well dump her before she causes any more trouble.
Such a shame -- I'm sure the Queen's heart is breaking and perhaps a bit embarrassed by Harry and Meghan?
Queen Elizabeth orders private meeting with Prince Harry, Prince William, Prince Charles: reports
Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly called a private meeting with Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry to discuss the recent royal drama that has unfolded in the press.
Buckingham Palace made headlines this week when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they would be stepping down as "senior members" of the British royal family and splitting their time between the U.K and U.S. to become financially independent of the crown.
Sky News tweeted Saturday about news of the reported family meeting, saying it was meant to help find "solutions" to help ease the tension of their departure....
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/queen-elizabeth-private-meeting-prince-harry-prince-william-prince-charles (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/queen-elizabeth-private-meeting-prince-harry-prince-william-prince-charles)
I think the Queen I’d upset too. And heartbroken.
Can you imagine if he gets even more pissed off, and writes a Royal Family Tell All book?
If the media paid more attention to Britain’s communities of color, perhaps it would find the announcement far less surprising. With a new prime minister whose track record includes overtly racist statements, some of which would make even Donald Trump blush, a Brexit project linked to native nationalism and a desire to rid Britain of large numbers of immigrants, and an ever thickening loom of imperial nostalgia, many of us are also thinking about moving.... The reason for Harry and Meghan’s departure is pure liberal-individualist narcissism. And both are equally responsible for that. Due to its symbolic and apolitical nature, British aristocracy are not supposed to publicly espouse political opinions, much less actively lecture people about mental health, toxic masculinity, or climate change. They are supposed to go to war, open hospitals, and silently take part in charitable causes. Duty, stoicism, propriety, and patriotism are supposed to be the four cornerstones of nobility.
Harry could have found a Swedish commoner if he wanted to be exotic. This gal is the Yoko Ono of the royal family ... he may as well dump her before she causes any more trouble.
You hit the nail on the head with the Yoko Ono analogy. That is how she comes across to me as well.
Can you imagine if he gets even more pissed off, and writes a Royal Family Tell All book?That would be interesting in the sense of I wonder how much of it would actually be believed v. perceived as sour grapes. Sure, he could probably take some shots at Prince Philip and obviously Andrew, but I my guess is there really isn't that much horrible stuff about the Queen, Charles, or William. So maybe he could score some points against the lesser royals, but I suspect an awful lot of Brits would really around the core of the royal family.

Composure and class, stoic fortitude, and a sense of duty are not due to bloodline or money. Some people naturally possess them, and some can attain them through discipline, but most do not.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit royal life COMPLETELY: Couple drop HRH titles, will REPAY £2.4m spent on Frogmore Cottage and won't receive any more taxpayers' cash as Queen says they remain 'much loved family members'

Didn't want Archie growing up in a toxic environment? Seems like the toxic one is Meghan. She has caused the dissension in the family. She is jealous of Kate because she will NEVER have her status nor position in the royal family -- its just the way the royal lineage works. Secondly, Archie is a part of the royal family -- but will NEVER have the status of his cousins and I'm sure that just frosted her Cheerios.
Perhaps when she was gold digging she should have done a little research instead of expecting that everyone was going to bow down to her. I also think she had intended to play the race card too -- well that didn't quite work out either.

Meghan gets twice as many negative headlines as positive, analysis finds
Pamela Duncan and Polly Bindman
The Duchess of Sussex gets more than twice as many negative headlines as positive ones, according to Guardian analysis of articles published between May 2018 and mid January 2019.
The analysis – which appears to support Meghan’s argument that she has faced highly critical treatment in the British press – found that of the 843 articles in 14 print newspapers since mid-May 2018, 43% were negative. Just 20% of the articles were positive, with the remaining 36% remaining neutral.
Findings hinted that claims she receives significantly more critical treatment than the Duchess of Cambridge were correct. An equivalent search for headlines in which the Duchess of Cambridge was mentioned resulted in a fraction of the results but found that of just 144 headlines over the same time period, 45% of those about Kate were positive in tone, 47% neutral and just 8% negative.

I wonder if this removes Harry and his heirs from the line of succession.
Too me, yes, Meghan has become one of those natural villains one runs into ever so often:
The Guardian:
I hope I say this in the way I intend happy77...I think both Markle and Princess Di had very unrealistic expectations of what Royal life would be.
Charles said, Well Bye. Harry didn't. (I still think Markle is an Ono)

The Guardian:

She has alienated most of her family except for her mother and now she has managed to do the same with the Windsors...what's really a shame is that Harry and Will were very close... **nononono*
I was just going to post this....
WOW...pretty good for no income...they are only getting a couple of mil from Charles and another mil or two from Diana's estate..QE2 has told them they must repay the renovations at the Cottage she gave them and I think that's over 2mil.
Only the best for the Duchess
@mystery-ak
Harry was reported to have inheirited 39 Million pounds from his mother,and Megan is said to have been worth 5 million dollars when they married. She will easily pick up a couple of million on her next acting gig,and who knows how much Harry has earned from investments and just plain interest in all the years that have passed since he inherited 39 million lbs?
QuoteThey see themselves as global do-gooders and they'll have to pay for at least some of their own travel, and probably their security on these excursions, as well.
Not a chance. They will pull in a lot of money for any charity they show up to promote.QuoteI doubt Canada or the Brits will pay for their globe trotting security when they're out in the world doing personal business.
Yeah,the Brits will pay for it. They might not want to,but Harry and Meagan ARE the parents of a child born into nobility,and where the baby goes,British security will go. No matter what anyone says,that IS what will happen. Plus,even if he is no longer a Prince,Harry is still a member of the British Royal Family,and a target for terrorists. I do believe he also still holds a commission in the Royal Army and can be called up for duty if necessary.
Anybody that tries to attack him,his wife,or his son is going to wish they hadn't if they are lucky enough to be in a position to wish when the attack ends.QuoteAnd then there are the taxes .... with three countries in play......
They will only pay taxes in Canada because they will move their money there. They might end up paying property taxes on the house they own in England,but that's really doubtful because the line seems to be pretty blurry between what belongs to him as an individual,and what belongs to him as a member of the Royal Family,regardless of title. I THINK the Queen can just determine he doesn't own it anymore,take it back,and then rent it out to him for a dollar a year if she wants,and you can be sure she is wanting to have Harry's son to visit with. So will Prince Charles.
AFATG,does anyone in the Royal Family REALLY own any property,or does it all belong to the Queen,and she just says who can live where? I know she just gave him some property with a mansion in the countryside after he married. I don't know if that just means he and his family can live there for the rest of their lives,or if they actually own it. I strongly suspect he would hit a very serious speed bump if he put it up for sale.
Either way,I promise to work hard to not feel sorry for him and save up nickels to send to him.
After googling Harry and Meghan's wealth as of now it is estimated to be about 30m but it won't last long as Megan is looking at 27m homes..lol
"True conservtives," ironically displaying envy of the rich.
WTF has this couple done to you, to deserve such deriision?
Looking at this from a more common sense, conservative dtandpoint, perhaps they should be congradulated, from wanting to get away from the "royalty" thing.
Some would say, I would say it, it doesn't seem like she is respecting the institution of the royal family. I haven't called her a gold digger or anything but they could show some grace. I don't care what anyone says, that's how it looks to me.
Far as I can tell this couple has done nothing but spit at Americans and took ever liberal cause they could muster. I am surprised the English liberals have not called them kulak and labeled them as exterminable. I guess that is why they toll all day to pretend to care about liberal causes.

There seems to be a pretty fundamental disconnect at the heart of what Harry is trying to do.
Neither he nor his wife have any real marketable skills, and neither seems inclined to work 9-5 anyway. So, their plan for earning income seems to be leverage their names and fame into various marketing deals, etc.. But, the entire reason they (supposedly) left the royal family was a desire for more privacy. But removing themselves from the public eye is the bane of their only marketable commodity. The moment they're no longer famous, and there are no more paparazzi following them around is the moment their marketing ventures likely will fail.
You can't simultaneously leverage fame while becoming recluses for the sake of privacy.
Good points...but I believe Meghan wants to be famous but not in Great Britain but Hollywood...remember acting is her forte.
If that's the case, then imagine when Harry comes to the realization that it wasn't fame/publicity/lack of privacy that bothered Meghan -- it was just that she wasn't the center of all that attention.
He may as well just change hand in his man card and change his last name to Markle at that point.
QuoteThere seems to be a pretty fundamental disconnect at the heart of what Harry is trying to do.,

@Maj. Bill Martin
Not true! She really is a pretty good actress,but she IS now closing in on 40 in a field where youth and beauty dominate,and in probably THE most competitive business in the world.
Being married to a former Prince just may be the thing she needed to give her the edge she needed to stay relevant and employed as an actress the next few years.
As for Harry,he has nothing but his inheirited forture going for him now. He has shown poor judgement,and is not likely to be allowed to regain his titles. Try not to hold any pity parties for him,though. He's going to do ok once she tells him to get out.
She appears to be quite pleased .... (and someday she'll learn how to carry her son)

Harry has stated that he had no other choice?? What exactly does that mean? I would be curious to know why he felt he didn't have any other choice, other than Meghan has made this choice for him. He gave up his entire family and his military career. Obviously his love is very deep for her, but obviously it would seem if she truly loved him, she wouldn't have expected him to give him his family for her -- a family that seemed to be accepting of her regardless of her past lifestyle, and well, her ethnicity. Regardless of who he married, she and he would never be any further up the line of succession of "royalty". than they were. That's just the way it is and has been for centuries. I wonder if Harry and Meghan announcing that they were leaving, were hoping to force the Queen's hand and that she would make some exceptions for them. Perhaps when she did not, Harry then stated he was left with no other choice? Sad. Perhaps he was never happy with his position in the family and felt that he and his mother Princess Di -- were always slated? I believe Meghan saw an opportunity to manipulate his already 'heavy heart' within the family because of his mother. She took advantage of that to have him all to herself -- along with his money and status. She spit on the royal family. Shame on her.
Good thing he is in one of those baby halter....why shouldn't she be pleased...she got what she wanted and a camera is right in front of her...
@libertybele I think that is dead on and my thoughts as well... I also look at her now estranged family, she is doing the same with Harry's.

But trust in this third dimension is further compromised by the fact that none of the major players filtering this story for our consumption is exactly a disinterested bystander. All three of the major newspaper groups most obsessed with Harry and Meghan are themselves being sued by the couple for assorted breaches of privacy and copyright. There is, to any reasonable eyes, a glaring conflict of interest that, for the most part, goes undeclared.
Over at the Mirror Group, there is a similar shyness about allowing daylight into the activities of past executives. Former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan, one of the most vehement critics of the royal couple, does not find time or space to let his readers or viewers know that his name crops up very many times in the generic phone-hacking litigation particulars of claims in front of Mann. Morgan may be entirely innocent, but if you spend your time pouring venom over a claimant in a case that might touch on your own conduct, you’d think there was at least an interest to declare – every single time you do it.
And then there is the further legal action by Meghan against Associated Newspapers claiming assorted breaches of copyright, privacy and data protection. The Mail on Sunday claims “huge and legitimate public interest†in publishing extracts from a private letter from Meghan to her father. We shall see, but meanwhile there’s no harm in portraying her as a ruthless hypocrite and gold-digger. If Morgan’s on hand with the vitriol, everyone’s happy.

I saw a story today that from what I skimmed said Harry and Meg are suing the paparazzi. She sure doesn't look to scared or upset does she?

Of course she is pleased. She is the center of attention, and doesn't have to share the lime light with anyone.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding souvenirs removed from Royal Collection's website
MSN, Jan 22, 2020, Daily Mail/UK
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's official wedding souvenirs are no longer sold in the Royal Collection's online shop in the wake of the couple's decision to quit royal life.
Commemorative pieces including a fine bone china coffee mug, a tankard and a plate were released ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials in Windsor in May of 2018.
Some pieces were still available to purchase as recently as a few days ago, but now searches for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bring up no results on royalcollectionshop.co.uk.
It comes after it emerged that Harry and Meghan trademarked their Sussex Royal brand on more than 100 items including pencils, socks and bookmarks more than six months ago, before declaring they wanted to quit the royal family and work toward 'financial independence.'
A spokeswoman for the Royal Collection Trust said the chinaware items had sold out.
The majority of items celebrating Princess Eugenie's wedding, including a tea towel and a china tankard, have also sold out but still appear listed as such on the site.
Chinaware marking the Queen becoming the longest reigning monarch in 2015 - three years before the Sussexes' wedding - is still available to buy.

I don't know if anyone post that yet but...
I commend the BBC for their whole coverage of the conference on the Holocaust (75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz).
There is a thread on it, I noted the BBC is not saying "so and so was there" but are just reporting on a somber occasion.
That Prince Chas. would do this at this Anniversary speaks for itself, pretty low class. They can deny it happened all they want.
That angers me a bit but this was a solemn occasion, it's a bit like if someone was trying to pull off a one-up on you at a funeral, that's not the place to do it. Rather repugnant. I guess, they can say it was inadvertent, sort of repeating myself.
Meghan's done as bad as that? Hard to say.
I've also heard people say, complain about Harry and Meghan but what about Prince Andrew? It's starting to become a train wreck.

I would ‘obviously’ like to return to Iran, says Charles
By Emma Bowden, PA
The Prince of Wales has said he would like to visit Iran, as he spoke of his desire to be a “peacemakerâ€.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Charles said he “obviously†would like to go to Iran, a country which he described as an important part of the world and home to “remarkable†people.
Tensions in the region were heightened in early January, provoked by the US killing of Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani.

ISMO that she was after the "HRH" title because it could really pump up her acting fees. Hollywood may pretend to hate royalty,but the truth is they are just jealous.

Princess Beatrice's wedding to Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on 29 May, Buckingham Palace has announced.
They will be married at the Chapel Royal at St James Palace, with a reception later at Buckingham Palace.
The Queen will host the private reception in the palace gardens.
Beatrice, the 31-year-old daughter of the Duke of York and the Duchess of York, became engaged to her property tycoon boyfriend in Italy last September.
Buckingham Palace says that the choice of the Chapel Royal, a family chapel adjacent to the home of Princess Beatrice, is an indication of the scale and nature of the wedding.

On yesterday’s Instagram, Kate posted a picture of her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
So cute!
I think she’s going to look like her mom.
Thank you for finding and posting @libertybele
@libertybele
There was a picture of Kate (I forgot her title) feeding a baby goat or cow the other day, and then going to a kindergarten. You could tell she really likes children.
They also had some posts of Prince William giving awards from the Honours list, and again, he seemed so nice and compassionate in the photos. I think they will make a good King and Queen when their time comes.
Interesting take....

I think you are correct; Princess Charlotte is going to look a lot like her mom. She certainly has captured the media's attention; she has a bit of a spark to her personality and a mind of her own.
Agreed. Both William and Kate are very comfortable in their current roles and will make an easy transition to King William and Queen Katherine. They will add their own modern flair to the role but also keeping well within tradition. Kate exudes beauty and grace and it comes very naturally and William also exhibits natural charisma. He will continue the dignity of his lineage and Kate will serve her position well by his side. Not so fast though, Charles is still in line after the Queen retires.
I believe that both Markle and Harry were very envious of the two when they didn't get the recognition and status after Archie was born and that is what prompted them to leave. They know that they will never achieve the status that they felt they deserved in England and decided to leave in order to achieve the status and recognition that they felt that they deserved. I believe Markle thought that's what she signed up for when she married Harry and soon found out that wasn't the case.

Not much controversy here though it is interesting.
Indeed, @sneakypeteHarry is so far down the line, even behind Williams kids, that is no way he will ever be anything but an overpaid baby brother.
At her age, she doesn't deserve this level of disrespect from her grandson.
Harry is so far down the line, even behind Williams kids, that is no way he will ever be anything but an overpaid baby brother.
The Queen wants him to sick around, do what he is told and collect his millions in unearned income while being hounded and badgered by the media and the public 24 hours a day...
So who is disrespecting who?
Harry is to young and to smart to spend the next 80 years as an also ran..
Technically that’s not true. If something had happened to Charles and William, my understanding is if William’s children were underage, Harry would be regent until the oldest became of age. This is why William IV who hated Victoria’s mother so much was so happy when she finally turned 18 and he died shortly thereafter. His biggest worry was if he died before his niece was 18, her mother would be regent and he disliked the Duchess of York.Harry will still be around if they need him....
It also explains certain myths about Richard III. When Edward IV died his brother Richard III became regent for his two sons, who were not of age. Richard put them in the Tower of London. Someone murdered the boys, and Richard thereby became King. Originally he should have only been King Regent for six or seven years. Same with Henry VIII’s son Edward VI, he had a regency council rule for him that was made of Jane Seymour’s brother , and later the first Earl of Warwick. Edward had a coronation but he was only nine, so he technically wasn’t King.
Gosh, while I know everyone starts to die as soon as they are born, it will be weird not to have Queen Elizabeth II. She’s the only English monarch I’ve ever known, and I think a lot of people can say that. How many people who are alive recall George VI or Edward VIII?
QuoteHarry is so far down the line, even behind Williams kids, that is no way he will ever be anything but an overpaid baby brother.
@EdinVA
And....,let's be honest about it. His father was one of his ho mother's boyfriends,NOT Prince Charles. Can't remember his name now,but IIRC,he was a Major in a Calvary unit,MAYBE Scots Guards. Everybody is being polite about this because it's not his fault and there is no need to embarrass the innocent,but it ain't what you would call a secret that Prince Charles was never what anyone would call a "studly man". He managed to pump out a heir,and then he pretty much lost interest in Diana.

Not smart enough to avoid the Ho called Megan,though. Then again,"smart" has never been associated with that sort of thing.

Prince William Jokes About Spreading Coronavirus During Royal Engagement
“By the way, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spreading coronavirus, Sorry,†the royal cracked at an event in Dublin.
By Lee Moran
Prince William cracked what some critics considered to be an insensitive joke about the deadly coronavirus outbreak during a royal engagement in Dublin on Tuesday.
“I bet everyone’s like ‘I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying’, and you’re like, ‘No, you’ve just got a cough,’†the Duke of Cambridge was caught on camera telling first responder Joe Mooney at a reception at the Guinness Storehouse.
William also asked Mooney if he thought the crisis that has killed more than 3,000 people worldwide ― nine of them in the U.S. ― was being “a little bit hyped up†by the media.

Royal Palace confirms Queen Elizabeth tests positive for coronavirusUCR News (http://ucrtv.com/royal-palace-confirms-queen-elizabeth-tests-positive-for-coronavirus/)
UNITED KINGDOM- Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a shocking release a few minutes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed he tested positive for coronavirus.
News of the Queen testing positive for COVID-19 does not come as a surprise since there was a possibility that she could have been exposed by the virus during one of her weekly meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson who tested positive an hour ago. ...
Her health, the palace added, remains good and stable though she has shown mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus.
In a brief statement, the palace said: “HMQ has also tested positive and is currently self-isolating at Windsor Castle. The Queen came into contact with the PM on the 11th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regards to her welfareâ€. ...
I don't see it on MailOnLine..Other news sources' last stories indicate that although she did see Boris Johnson on March 11, the queen remains okay. But those stories were tweeted at least 9 hours ago. :shrug:
They Love L.A. – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Move to California
Simon Kent27 Mar 20202,553
2:36
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — also known as Prince Harry and his Hollywood wife Meghan – have left Canada behind and moved permanently to California, UK media reports said Friday.
The Royal couple flew by private jet from Canada to Los Angeles last week before the border between the two countries closed because of the deadly Chinese coronavirus outbreak, the Sun newspaper reported from London.
The transfer is part of the “transitioning†process from all Royal duties to a “progressive new role†in 2020 the two outlined in January.
Living in Los Angeles also moves them closer to living a “modest life of seclusion and privacy away from the media spotlight†they have previously announced was vital to their future.
It is thought Prince Harry is now keen to pursue his environmental mentor role while wife Meghan has never concealed her desire to restart her acting career.

Prince Harry will feel like a 'duck out of water' and could be seen as 'Meghan's plus-one' as he struggles to establish himself in LA, former royal editor claims
Daily Mail/UK, Apr 8, 2020
Prince Harry will be feeling 'helpless' and like a 'duck out of water' as he tries to establish himself in Los Angeles, a former royal editor has claimed.
Duncan Larcombe, a journalist and author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, told how the prince, 35, could be seen as Meghan Markle's 'plus one' as he tries to forge his own path in his wife's hometown.
Speaking to Closer, Mr Larcombe added that Harry might be feeling 'helpless' not being able to do more for his family as they try to boost the nation's morale during the coronavirus lockdown.
He said: 'Harry didn't go to university and he hasn't had much work experience other than being in the army and charity work.
'Being in Hollywood is likely to make him feel like a duck out of water, as it will be tricky for him to find a suitable role.'
He added: 'I suspect he will be missing home more than ever and feeling a bit helpless,'referring to the efforts other members of the British royal family have been making to raise morale amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
[...]
The couple had wanted to be based in a Commonwealth like Canada where they could still perform royal duties while earning their own income.
But issues of Meghan's passport status meant she would have to pay a large amount on tax on earnings, The Sun reported.
A source said: 'They were told getting work visas in Canada would be difficult and because Meghan remains a US citizen, so is taxed on her worldwide income, she would end up paying in the US and Canada.
It is believed the Duchess would have to report self-employment income from while also paying a 15.3 per cent levy to cover taxes on social security and medicare.
She would also have to make disclosure to the US' Internal Revenue Service on any foreign bank accounts.

While speaking about Harry and Prince William as champions of the natural world, Goodall also discussed the fact the two siblings do hunt, though she believes the younger brother will stop engaging in the activity.
“Yes, except they hunt and shoot,†she said when discussing the two’s support for nature conservation. “But I think Harry will stop because Meghan doesn’t like hunting, so I suspect that is over for him.†...

She's been a freakin' drama queen from the very beginning ... I don't feel sorry for her in the least, she married into royalty only he wasn't high enough up on the food chain for her to get the recognition and notoriety she was hoping for. She was hoping to make her "mark" on the Royal family and expected them to cater to her and change protocol because she and her mammy are black; that was obvious when she invited people like Oprah and others to the wedding and the music that was played.
Kate on the other hand is poised and exhibits gracefulness. She married into royalty with William being second in line to the throne. They had children who bumped Harry out of position. Markle should have scoped things out a little bit more before she dug her claws into Harry.
Her continual whining is very unbecoming and quite frankly, I'm sure the family misses Harry, but I think most breathed a sigh of relief when Missy Markle got up on her high horse and rode out of there.

I think that is obvious to everyone in the world but maybe 2 people,and one of them can't see it because his wife won't allow him to see it.

She probably gets that from her mom, and her great grandmother

EXCLUSIVE: 'After the camera stops, she's not the most friendly.' Meghan Markle had strict rules not to shoot her funky FEET, videographer reveals and was already called a 'princess' for her 'diva' behavior
Daily Mail/UK, May 5, 2020
•Meghan Markle was called 'princess' because of her 'difficult' and 'demanding' behavior on set, an industry videographer who worked closely with her revealed
•'She was very high maintenance and rude,' the videographer explained exclusively to DailyMail.com
•According to the pro cameraman, Meghan would bring a large entourage with her on set and laid down a strict set of rules – including not to shoot her feet
•He said: 'It was like something out of Mean Girls. [Her team] were a clique, looking at other people and laughing and having fun among themselves'
•He added: 'The girl was really easy to shoot. Once you say ''action'', she knows how to do her job. But after the camera stops, she's not the most friendly person'
•Saying he wouldn't work with her again, he said: 'I wasn't impressed with her and I'm surprised she charmed the guy. She came across as insecure and spoiled'
•DailyMail.com has also uncovered several photos of Meghan from a professional photo shoot in New York for a now defunct fashion and beauty website

Americans mourn ’emasculation’ of Prince HarryMourn? We're mildly amused, perhaps.
Mourn? We're mildly amused, perhaps.
Mourn? We're mildly amused, perhaps.Yep.
The emasculation of Prince Harry appears to be complete because his wife, actress Meghan Markle, has reportedly convinced him to quit hunting and sell off his handmade rifles.
According to a report in The Sun, the weaponry sold privately to another hunter was worth about $60,000 in U.S. dollars, and that “Meghan is opposed to hunting and pals hinted the Duke of Sussex would give up to appease her…Last week conservationist Dr Jane Goodall said she expected Harry to turn his back on bloodsports.â€
Apparently the transaction occurred five months ago, but is just surfacing in the media. Harry, a U.K. army veteran, was reportedly a lifelong avid hunter before he met Meghan. He even went hunting for wild boar in Germany in December 2017 during the time of his engagement to the former Suits star and Deal or No Deal suitcase girl.
Harry seems all-in on feminist Meghan Markle’s woke agenda, which includes flying around the world to virtue-signal about global warming.

This summer sees the publication of Finding Freedom, the book hyped as going ‘beyond the headlines’ to reveal ‘unknown details’ of Prince Harry and Meghan’s life together.
But will that satisfy Meghan who, famously, chose to include three quills on her personal coat of arms, representing ‘communication and the power of words’?
For I can disclose that, according to one of the Duchess’s friends, Meghan — guest-editor of British Vogue in 2018 — kept a diary during her time in the UK. ...
And they thought Dianna hurt the image of the House of Windsor. Just wait in a few years, when Meagan puts own her 10 part Netflix series of her exploits with the family. And honestly, I think this bitch will tamper with the truth for ratings.

Life’s a riot with Meghan Markle
Why send in the troops when you can send in the clowns?
Spectator USA, Jun 4, 2020, Dominic Green

Americans stopped fighting in the streets on Thursday morning as the balm of Meghan Markle’s platitudes washed over us like a healing draught of tear gas. Why send in the troops when you can send in the clowns?
The Duchess of Malibu has released a video of her graduation address to the seniors of Immaculate Heart High School, the private Los Angeles school whose teachers bear at least some of the responsibility for launching the woke royal upon the gas-guzzling, meat-eating, racist public. The video is, as Markle says of the George Floyd riots, ‘absolutely devastating’.
It’s a vintage performance: the dress-down ponytail and Diana-like white shirt, the Diana-like rolling of the spontaneously moistened eyes, the Diana-like repetition of the clichés of the day as if she is thinking of them for the first time, the long pauses where she is overwhelmed, speechless but still profoundly moved by her own compassion in a sensitivity that could only be called Diana-like, or Diana-lite.
It is impossible not to be impressed by the conviction with which the millionaire wife of a ginger prince faces the pervasive hierarchies of white supremacy. Only a racist cop would refuse to take a knee, and perhaps a Sussex Royal tea towel, when hearing Meghan’s tremulous account of witnessing the Rodney King riots as an 11-year-old. The bit where she quaveringly recalls seeing ‘men in the back of a van, just holding guns and rifles’ must have been especially upsetting for her.

Prince Andrew demands US 'olive branch' before he will speak over request to question him about Jeffrey Epstein
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 13, 2020
Prince Andrew will refuse to deal further with the US Department of Justice over its request to question him about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein until he is offered an ‘olive branch’.
A war of words broke out last week after the US authorities wrote to the Home Office to ask formally to interview the Duke of York about his relationship with the disgraced American financier.
The Duke said he had already offered his help as a witness and accused US prosecutors of breaking confidentially rules and issuing ‘complete lies’.

Last night, in a new furious salvo, a source close to the Duke of York told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Until there’s an olive branch from the Department of Justice [DoJ] and an attempt to establish trust, we can’t deal with them.
‘The DoJ has been painting an entirely inaccurate picture and this third time was enough. Three strikes and you’re out. There have been three provable breaches in the DoJ’s own rules [in talking about cases] while the Duke has played a straight bat out of respect for the rules and the process.
‘There is no way the Duke’s lawyers can recommend an engagement with the DoJ when they’re breaking the rules. They need to do something to start rebuilding trust.’

Princess Beatrice has got married in a secret wedding ceremony attended by the Queen.
The royal - ninth in line to the throne - married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a COVID-secure wedding in All Saints Chapel, Windsor Great Park, this morning.
The Queen and Prince Philip attended the ceremony after the couple's plans for a larger ceremony were scuppered by the coronavirus pandemic.
It is understood around 20 guests were there, include the bride's father Prince Andrew.

Thank you for posting the photos @Right_in_Virginia
The dress and crown story had a tear in my eye when I saw they were her grandmother’s. G-d save The Queen.
... In a refreshingly modern (and wonderfully sustainable) move, Princess Beatrice chose to wear a vintage Norman Hartnell dress borrowed from the Queen for her wedding. Her Majesty famously wore the dress to attend the Lawrence of Arabia premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in 1962. The Queen’s dresser, Angela Kelly, helped to fit the dress to the bride’s exact measurements and added organza puff sleeves. Made from ivory Peau De Soie taffeta, the diamanté-encrusted gown is trimmed with Duchess satin. ...More, plus photos, at Vogue (U.K.) (https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/princess-beatrice-wedding?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1595107213)

PRINCE Harry’s popularity has plummeted — and many people now see him as a liability for the monarchy.
The number who think he is an asset to the nation has more than halved in the past eight years, from 75 per cent to 35 per cent.
Least popular royal is Prince Andrew, with 80 per cent branding him a liability and only four per cent believing he has something to offer.
The Queen is still by far the favourite, with 81 per cent saying she is an asset, followed by William and Kate and Prince Charles.
But the poll shows the alarming rate at which Harry’s appeal has dived.

Princess Beatrice’s father Prince Andrew played an important role behind the scenes on her wedding day. The Duke of York, 60, walked his daughter down the aisle when she secretly wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in an intimate ceremony on Friday at All Saint's Chapel in Windsor Great Park.
Following the ceremony, the bride, 31, and groom, 36, kicked off the celebrations with an outdoor party attended by around 30 people on the grounds of Royal Lodge, the shared home of Beatrice’s parents, Andrew and Sarah “Fergie†Ferguson, who divorced in 1996.

I'm hoping his brother,other relatives, and friends get a chance to pull him off somewhere quiet and out of the public eye to give him a good talking-to.
Since Megan has his baby now,it might be tough to get him to see reason,though.
Wimpy royal child has become the ultimate example of extreme PW.
Republican Congressman Jason Smith has written to the British government, demanding that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be stripped of their royal titles, claiming that the couple is using their royal status to interfere in the election against President Trump.
The Missouri lawmaker accused the royal couple of trying to use their titles to campaign against President Donald Trump’s campaign, violating the tradition of the British Royal Family to abstain from interfering in political matters.
In a letter addressed to British Ambassador to the United States, Karen Pierce, Congressman Smith wrote: “As you know, the British Royal Family has long observed a policy of strict neutrality in regard to political matters. I am therefore concerned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent comments regarding the United States Presidential Election, especially given international conversations surrounding foreign interference in our elections and the Duke’s status as a guest of the United States.â€

@catfish1957Most of us don't have the benefit of a royal upbringing (with the warnings inherent in that and tradition) that he had, either.
Yeah,but to be realistic,we have all been in that position at one time or another. Most of us manage to work our way though it.
@mystery-akHe can express his personal concern all he wants, but to try to dictate to the royal family of another country how to handle their affairs?
What makes that congresscritter think HE has the right to get involved in British politics?
He's just grandstanding. He has about as much influence with the British Royal Family as I do,which is none at all.
Harry 'desperately unhappy' in marriage to Meghan and 'hooked by a political activist:' royal expertRest of story (https://knewz.com/meghan-harry-marriage-claims/?utm_source=nypost)
Author Hugo Vickers says the duke is ‘spouting all this rubbish which comes from’ the duchess
KNEWZ.COM|Charlotte Lee
UPDATED yesterday
A royal biographer has come forward with sensational claims about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship, saying the Duke is “deeply unhappy†in his marriage to his political activist wife.
As The Sun reports, royal historian Hugo Vickers unleashed damning criticism of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex while speaking at the digital Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival this week.
“He, no doubt, thought he had found himself a very exotic and glamorous wife out of the norm. Actresses can be very beguiling,†Vickers said of the 36-year-old prince.
“Unfortunately, he finds himself now living in California, away from his family, friends, his work, and the Army, and all the things he had known.†...
Ingrid said the 99-year-old now compares the Duchess to Wallis SimpsonWow. That's quite damning.
Wow. That's quite damning.
It is a Tudor warrant book, one of many in the National Archives, filled with bureaucratic minutiae relating to 16th-century crimes. But this one has an extraordinary passage, overlooked until now, which bears instructions from Henry VIII explaining precisely how he wanted his second wife, Anne Boleyn, to be executed.
In this document, the king stipulated that, although his queen had been “adjudged to death… by burning of fire… or decapitationâ€, he had been “moved by pity†to spare her the more painful death of being “burned by fireâ€. But he continued: “We, however, command that… the head of the same Anne shall be… cut off.â€
Tracy Borman, a leading Tudor historian, described the warrant book as an astonishing discovery, reinforcing the image of Henry VIII as a “pathological monsterâ€. She told the Observer: “As a previously unknown document about one of the most famous events in history, it really is golddust, one of the most exciting finds in recent years. What it shows is Henry’s premeditated, calculating manner. He knows exactly how and where he wants it to happen.†The instructions laid out by Henry are for Sir William Kingston, constable of the Tower, detailing how the king would rid himself of the “late queen of England, lately our wife, lately attainted and convicted of high treasonâ€.
Chilling find shows how Henry VIII planned every detail of Boleyn beheading

Queen Elizabeth will pass throne to Charles next year: royal biographer
Queen Elizabeth will hand the throne to Prince Charles when she turns 95 next year, the royal biographer claims.
“I still firmly believe when the Queen becomes 95, that she will step down,†Robert Jobson told a program on True Royalty TV, the Daily Mail reported.
Newsweek royal reporter Jack Royston agreed: “I think she won’t want to, but realistically she will get to a point where she has handed over everything to Charles and then how do you look your son in the eye and tell him he is not going to be king?â€

Meghan Markle wants Prince Harry's Christmas away from the royal family to be 'special'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are celebrating their first Christmas in the United States
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating their first Christmas in the United States with their son Archie, 1.
This is the second time that Harry has celebrated the holiday away from his family in England. Last year, the couple spent Christmas in Canada.
According to People, Meghan and Harry are spending Christmas at their home in Montecito, Calif.
"It's Harry's second Christmas away from England, and Meghan wants to make sure it's special for everyone," a source told the magazine. "They are creating their own traditions at their new home."
Just a few days before the Christmas holiday, the royal duo's Christmas card was shared on social media by Mayhew, an animal welfare charity.
The picture on the card features Markle, 39, Harry, 36, Archie and their two pups sitting in front of a white and blue playhouse outdoors.
"Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year," reads the card above the illustration.

Princess Eugenie, the Queen's grand-daughter, has given birth to a baby boy, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The royal baby, who is the Queen's ninth great-grandchild and 11th in line to the throne, was born at 08:55 GMT on Tuesday at the Portland Hospital in central London, weighing 8lbs 1oz.
In a statement, the palace said the Queen and Eugenie's parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, were "delighted".
Buckingham Palace said Jack Brooksbank was at his wife's side for the birth.
The baby's name has not yet been announced.

I just saw this too, I hope it’s not too serious. :0001:
Meghan and Prince Harry have effectively put an end to speculation about their future role in the Royal Family by announcing to the Queen they have no intention to return to royal duties at the end of the Megxit 12-month review period. As a result, the Queen took the decision to sever the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's links to their royal and military patronages.
A statement issued by Buckingham Palace today read: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family.
"Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.
"The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family."
It seems like those two attention whores make some sort of announcement every two months, just to see their names in the news. Will Harry bother to return to England when his grandfather passes, I wonder?

Doctors are treating Prince Philip, 99, for an infection. They will also undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition, Buckingham Palace said.
The duke is responding to treatment and "remains comfortable", it added.
He is expected to remain in hospital until at least the end of the week.

The tabloid said the lively pups -- the latest in a long line of dogs to keep the 94-year-old company -- were bringing joy as the royal family battles a series of crises.
Her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, has just had a heart operation, while her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have given a tell-all interview to US television after moving to California.
The dogs have reportedly been living with the queen for several weeks at Windsor Castle, west of London, where she has been self-isolating from the coronavirus pandemic for nearly a year.

I wouldn't watch Orca on tv if she promised to commit suicide on-air.
I'd wait until I could view it for free.
Only in America can a fat woman with the IQ of a snail whose whole career is based on white people from the control room telling her what to say,complain about racism and white privilege holding her back,while doing stuff like funding a special school for black girls in Africa (racism,anyone?), buying a freaking handbag for 50 THOUSAND bucks while on vacation in London.
She is African,like I am Greek because my father was Greek,or Scots/Irish like the rest of my known ancestors.
Orca is a Chancroid on the genitals of humanity.
No interest in the Orca interview here. Perhaps there's an episode of Barnwood Builders or Dr. Pol to watch. Even a rerun of a troublesome calf birthing would be more edifying than listening to those two.
Love Dr Pol..I know everything there is to know about birthing calfs..lolThat, and selenium!

I caught part of review on ABC this morning when I turned on my teebee for local news and weather. MY favorite part was Harry whining about having his allowance cut off by the Royal Family.
Here is a man around 40 years old whining because his grandma cut off his allowance!
AND,on top of that,he inherited several million bucks from his mother's estate after she died.
Has a trust fund worth several million dollars,lives for free in a multi-million dollar mansion,and whining at the "unfairness" of the Queen cutting off his allowance.

The UK public is split along age and political lines over who they back in the rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, a poll has found.
Members of the public were asked by YouGov who they sympathised with more following the revelations that emerged in Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
On the whole 36% of people said they sympathised more with the Queen and the Royal Family, while 22% said they sympathised more with Harry and Meghan.
However, when the respondents are broken down into ages it shows 48% of 18 to 24-year-olds sympathised more with the Sussexes, while only 9% of over-65s sided with the couple.
The survey found 55% of over-65s sided with the Royal Family compared to 15% of 18 to 24-year-olds.
Here we had the Duke and Duchess of Privacy flinging out the filthy family laundry for the delectation of tens of millions of people all over the world, whilst simultaneously bleating about press intrusion.
They moaned about the terrible pain of their royal titles but were also outraged their son Archie wasn’t allowed to be a Prince.
They told of their constant trauma from nasty newspaper stories, but repeatedly insisted they never read any of them.
They claimed they were forced to sign gazillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify because Prince Charles cut off their allowance, despite Harry inheriting millions from his late mother Princess Diana and having his entire life bankrolled by the Royal Family.
And so, it went nauseatingly on.

How can she be judged on her appearance when she looks no different than any other wealthy, privileged white woman? :shrug:

@sneakypete Please don't post a comment in a supposedly black dialect...that does sound racist!
Harry must suffer from low self esteem. Most young ladies would have been pleased to date him, and deal with all of the baggage. Meghan has ruined his life. Her attitude will only worsen as she deals with middle age.

... his father was no longer prepared to bankroll his lifestyle.Man up. He's in his 30s, married, fathering children, and he still thinks Daddy should pay his rent? What a bum.
'My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us,' he said.

I believe the real issue concerning the Royal Family is that they realize Price Charles isn't Harry's father.
And I'm sure they already have DNA results to prove it.
Thus, the divorce...thus Princess Di's untimely death, etc..
Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Calls for Boycott of Royal Family, Claiming They Don’t Value Black Lives

Meghan Markle’s emotional reaction to Princess Diana’s death revealed
Express/UK, Oct 12, 2019
Meghan, who would later grow up to marry Diana’s son Prince Harry, had idolised the princess as a youngster. According to 2018 book ‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’, the sudden death of her personal hero was hard for Meghan for comprehend. Inspired by her role model, Meghan and her friend Suzy Ardakani had collected clothes and toys for less privileged children.
Suzy’s mother had even given her a copy of ‘Diana: Her True Story’, which remained on her bookshelf for years.
This meant when Diana suddenly died in a car crash in Paris, she could not understand how the tragedy could befall a “living iconâ€.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton wrote in his book: “She and her friends watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in early September 1997, tears coursing down their cheeks at the poignant moment when the camera zoomed in on the royal coffin.
“Perched among the white flowers was an envelope with the one word ‘Mummy’ containing Prince Harry’s last note to his beloved mother.â€
He added that she and her friend Suzy had an interesting way of coping with the news.
Mr Morton wrote: “After she heard about the tragedy she and her friend Suzy Ardakani had sat and watched old videos of the 1981 wedding between Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.â€
Meghan apparently looked up to Diana for both her style and her independent humanitarian mission.
A childhood friend Ninaki Priddy said: “She was always fascinated by the Royal Family.
“She wants to be Princess Diana 2.0.â€

A Tale Old and New as Another Royal Wife Breaks Free
NY Times, Mar 8, 2021A quarter-century after Princess Diana broke her silence about life among the British royals,
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, did the same.
Their stories were remarkably similar.
While the British tabloids like to cast Meghan in the villainous role of the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcée who lured away their king in 1936 and lived with him in bitter exile, causing an irreparable family rift — Harry and Meghan seem determined to position her instead as a latter-day Diana, a woman mistreated by her in-laws, more sinned against than sinning.
Harry has often spoken with anguish and bitterness about what happened to Diana all those years ago when she was cast out of the royal family after her divorce from Prince Charles and later died in a car wreck in a Parisian underpass, the paparazzi in hot pursuit. He raised the subject again on Sunday, drawing parallels between the experiences of his mother and his wife and saying, of Diana, that he has “felt her presence through this whole process.â€
It felt Shakespearean, the sense of history repeating itself through the immutable structure of a royal lineage and an ancient institution — while a prince spoke of breaking free from the old patterns and finding a new way forward.
Harry made the comparison explicit on Sunday when he referred to the “constant barrage†of criticism and racist attacks on his wife.
“What I was seeing was history repeating itself,†he said, though he described the treatment of Meghan as “far more dangerous†because of the ubiquity of social media and the corrosive element of racism.
Meghan’s discussion in the interview of her mental health struggles as a royal wife, of loneliness and desolation and thoughts of suicide, was reminiscent of Diana’s account of the bulimia and depression that consumed her during her own marriage. Both women said they had desperately sought help from the family, only to be ignored and rebuffed.
“When I’m talking about history repeating itself, I’m talking about my mother,†Harry said. “When you can see something happening in the same kind of way, anybody would ask for help.â€
But just as with his mother, when Meghan pleaded for help, he said, none was forthcoming. Instead, the family dismissed her concerns and told her, essentially, to keep her head down.
The couple was repeatedly told: “This is how it is. This is just how it is,†Harry said.
There are many parallels between Meghan and Diana.
Like Diana, Meghan married into a family that did not understand her and believed she would conform, without complaint, to royal customs and protocol. As with Diana, when Meghan proved unable or unwilling to toe the family line, she said, the palace did nothing to dispel the emerging public narrative that she was demanding, petulant, entitled. And like Diana, Meghan found herself hounded by the tabloids, which accused her of constantly seeking attention while happily filling their pages with stories about her.

Prince Charles 'did NOT cut off Harry': Royal insider says future King feels 'let down' by son's Oprah claims after going 'out of his way to financially support' him and wife Meghan
Harry said he struck lucrative deals as Charles was no longer bankrolling couple
Royal insiders rejected this and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's remarks
As working royals, 95 per cent of their funding came from the Duchy of Cornwall
Allies of Prince Charles today pushed back at claims he 'cut off' Prince Harry's funding when he and Meghan stepped down as senior royals.
During the explosive Oprah interview, Harry explained he struck lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify as his father was no longer prepared to bankroll his lifestyle.
'My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us,' he said.
Royal insiders rejected this narrative and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's comments.
'The Prince of Wales went out of his way to make sure his son and daughter in law were financially supported,' a senior source told the Evening Standard.

I have read this before of Meghan's fascination with Di...she had even remarked about her intentions of *getting* Harry to some of her friends.
She is a damn liar when she sat their complaining she didn't know anything about the Monarchy...I bet she had researched the whole *Firm*..and then set her sights on Harry...poor Harry didn't know what hit him... But alas she and her son were not granted the Princess and Prince status that she craved...
I remember when they first got engaged..I predicted she would get her hooks into Harry by getting pregnant right away..that way she then controlled him..Harry wanted a wife and kids...well he's got it now...at a cost of his family...
Like I said she is a cunning shrew..it's all about Meg..just look at all the photos of her..she knows exactly where every camera is and how to pose for it...I think she is sick.

@corbe..and always has been.
She is also a LOT tougher than she looks.
Prince Charles has Black friends, or at least Black people who'll talk to him -- that's the image the palace seems to be putting out on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan's racism claims.
The official Clarence House Instagram account posted a number of photos Tuesday showing the Prince of Wales visiting a place called Jesus House, which just popped up in London as a new vaccination site under the country's National Health Service.
In all of the pics you see Charles yukking it up with both workers and visitors ... all of whom are Black.
The caption reads, "Continuing Their Royal Highnesses’ work to encourage vaccine take-up, The Prince of Wales today visited @jesushouseuk in London." Clarence House also wants us to know Charles is committed, as is Jesus House, to combatting vaccine hesitancy in the Black community.

Piers Morgan Refuses To Cave Over Meghan Markle Criticisms: ‘Freedom Of Speech Is A Hill I’m Happy To Die On’
March 10, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
British broadcast journalist Piers Morgan refused to cave to the mob attacking him for questioning and criticizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah, saying, “Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.â€
“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions,†he wrote on Twitter.
Morgan paired his proclamation with a Winston Churchill quote graphic which states, “Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.â€

London (CNN)Prince William has denied the royal family is racist in his first public remarks since his brother Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, made explosive claims in a TV interview.
Asked by a reporter during a visit to a school in east London if the royals were a "racist family," the Duke of Cambridge said, "We're very much not a racist family."
Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made a series of damning accusations against the royal family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in the UK on Monday night.
In response to a question on whether he had spoken to his brother since the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince William said, "I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do."

Meghan Markle is reportedly already networking with senior Democrats to help her ambitions to become the first female US president.
The Duchess of Sussex previously told friends about her political ambitions — and now hopes her blockbuster Oprah Winfrey interview will strengthen support in the US, sources told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
She has been openly networking among senior Democrats to help build fundraising teams and a campaign for the White House, according to a senior UK politician who served under former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and has close ties to Washington.
“The Blairite, internationalist and Democratic Party networks are buzzing with talk about Meghan’s political ambitions and potential backers,†the anonymous source told the UK paper.

The Duke of Edinburgh left hospital this morning following a month under the care of medical staff after initially being admitted with an infection and later undergoing heart surgery.
Prince Philip, 99, the nation's longest-serving consort, spent 28 nights as a patient in London at King Edward VII's Hospital and St Bartholomew's Hospital - his longest ever stay.
The 'Iron Duke' was photographed leaving King Edward VII's Hospital in Marylebone at about 10.30am today, with screens obscuring him for the most part, before getting into a car and being driven away

Queen Elizabeth's traditional parade, Trooping the Colour, has been canceled for the second year in a row due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
Plans are being explored for a scaled-down celebration likely to take place in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle, like last year, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday.
In a statement, the palace said, "Following consultation with Government and other relevant parties it has been agreed that The Queen's Official Birthday Parade, also known as Trooping the Colour, will not go ahead this year in its traditional form in central London. Options for an alternative Parade, in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle, are being considered."
The statement added that the annual Garter service that usually takes place at St. George's Chapel on the Monday after Trooping the Colour, will also not be taking place.

Names of Queen Elizabeth's new dogs revealed: report
Queen Elizabeth allegedly named the pups after a person and place held dear
The British monarch, 94, is calling new dorgi (a cross between a corgi and a dachshund) Fergus, and her new corgi Muick, The Sun reports. According to the outlet, Fergus was named in honor of the queen’s maternal uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon, who was killed in action in World War I.
Muick (pronounced "Mick") was inspired by Loch Muick, a lake at Her Majesty’s Balmoral Castle in the Scottish highlands. A popular place for the royals to picnic and walk at the estate, Queen Elizabeth was reportedly seen at the freshwater lake last year.
"Both name choices are extremely poignant and dear to the Queen," a source told the Sun. "Loch Muick is one of her favorite places on the Balmoral estate and the loss of Uncle Fergus in the First World War is still honored by the family."

Following the recent births of Princess Eugenie's firstborn son and Pippa Middleton's baby girl, Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter, Zara Tindall, 39, welcomed her third child with husband Mike Tindall. The baby boy joins the couple's two daughters, 7-year-old Mia and 2-year-old Lena.
Lucas Philip Tindall, who is the Queen's 10th great-grandchild, was born on Sunday, weighing 8lbs., 4oz., a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE.
Of the Tindall's baby news, the palace said in a statement, "The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th Great Grandchild when circumstances allow."
The baby boy, who is the fifth grandchild of Princess Anne, arrived in dramatic fashion. Proud dad Mike revealed on his The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast that his son was born at home — in the bathroom.

Embarrassing her,maybe,but not breaking her heart. She knows he is only related to her by marriage. Diana was a Ho.
"Diana and James didn’t meet until two years after Prince Harry was born, as Harry was born in 1984. As James once told The Sunday Mirror, “When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler.” He added, “I can understand the interest, but Harry was already walking by the time my relationship with Diana began. Admittedly, the red hair is similar to mine, and people say we look alike.” However, “I have never encouraged these comparisons, and although I was with Diana for a long time, I must state once and for all that I’m not Harry’s father.”

I actually have a copy of Princess Diana's ring which is now Kate's ring. Because I have a copy, do I get a country to be their queen?
We need to have a Skype meeting so you can see it. It is larger than you probably think.
What do you mean by a copy? As in a genuine large sapphire and all the diamonds? If so, you are one lucky lady! My favorite stone is the sapphire. It's a shame, since the pandemic hit, we just don't go out anymore and I have a jewelry box full of nice jewelry that I don't get to wear anymore -- I enjoyed it though for years.@libertybele
@libertybele
"Copy" means the stones are crystals - big blue crystal (the Sapphire); clear crystals (the diamonds).
Yes, like you, I have many real gold and real stones jewelry and I enjoyed wearing them. I do wear two rings all the time, as I am used to wearing one on each hand and feel something is missing if I do not have a ring on each hand. When we went to casinos, I would change rings each trip in order to wear them all. We haven't been to a casino since February of last year, 2020. I think we will go to one in a few months. The closest one is about an hour away if driving the speed limit. I'll make a point of wearing the Diana ring for that first trip back to that casino.
I think you're right about breaking his Grandma's heart and probably his Grandpa's heart as well. Obviously the relationship between he and his father is strained. I think there is friction between both Markle and Harry between William and Kate.
To leave your country, your duties and your family and go to another country and absolutely trash your family is really in very poor taste. I didn't watch the Oprah interview but 'news' sources reported that claims were made about racism.
I beg to differ; the wedding included many "black" celebrities along with some non-traditional black culture touches here and there. Markle made her statement about race then.
Also, who can forget the tribute that was paid to Aretha Franklin when she died by the Buckingham Palace Guards? It surprised me, and my first thought was it showed class by the Brits, but in the back of my mind, was the tribute requested by Markle or done because of her ethnicity? My thought now is she probably demanded some sort of tribute.
I can't help but wonder now if Harry married her because of her race to goad his family.

Princess Beatrice revealed that she is pregnant with her first child on the Sussexes' third wedding anniversary - after the couple angered the Yorks by announcing they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding.
The Queen's granddaughter, 32, who tied the knot with the Italian property developer Edo Mapelli Mozzi in September 2020, are expecting the baby in autumn 2021, Buckingham Palace announced this morning.
The Queen and both families are said to be 'delighted' with the news, which will have brought much joy to the monarch who is mourning the loss of her husband Prince Philip, who died last month aged 99.
Princess Eugenie's baby will be the second grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan's Markle's second child in the summer.

@Victoria33 I like rings too. I’m currently wearing four- right hand has an old ring I got from my aunt about four months before she passed. The other ring belonged to @To-Whose-Benefit? . He gave that to me before he passed. My left hand has my mom’s old wedding band. She got a very nice upgrade for her 25th anniversary. I wore my alumni ring pre COVID, but I just haven’t worn any jewelry since. I should wear earrings again, the holes are closing up.
If you want to see jewelry that will blow your mind, see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. Blew my mind. I especially liked Queen Victoria’s crown, it was so petite I thought it belonged to a child.
Prince William slams the BBC after report finds 'deceitful' methods used to secure Diana interview
CNN, May 20, 2021
(CNN) Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has lambasted the BBC for contributing "significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation" felt by his late mother, Princess Diana, in the years before her death, in a rare emotionally charged statement by a royal against the public broadcaster.
The Duke's comments come after the BBC offered an unconditional apology over the controversial 1995 interview by BBC journalist Martin Bashir with Diana, in which she detailed the breakdown of her relationship with Prince Charles. An inquiry had found that he used "deceitful" methods to secure the landmark interview.
The Duke also accused the BBC of commercializing a "false narrative" about his mother.
"But what saddens me most, is that if the BBC had properly investigated the complaints and concerns first raised in 1995, my mother would have known that she had been deceived. She was failed not just by a rogue reporter, but by leaders at the BBC who looked the other way rather than asking the tough questions," he said.
"It is my firm view that this Panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again. It effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialized by the BBC and others."

@GefnDefinitely not the same as American EMT work, even back in the '70s (we had Shocktrauma at Hopkins and helos to transport the worst of the worst, right from the accident scene) but even that was a hard leap forward from the 'nearest hospital' policy, which would have cost dozens of lives. The same 15 minutes of transport time could be spent in the air, going to a far superior trauma facility. Our biggest bugaboo was extrication, and the 'Jaws of Life' had just become available (I love that thing).
@mystery-ak
It was the EMTs (emergency medical technicians) who caused Diana's death when the car crash happened. I looked into that, and realized they let her die but did not mean to do it.
I am an EMT and there are rules I must follow at a car crash or anywhere actually when they are called to an emergency. If a person has gushing blood, that person is rushed to the ambulance right then to quickly go to the hospital while the EMT tries to slow the blood loss. The reason being, that is likely an artery bleeding and must be stopped before the patient dies.
If it is a serious car crash, and it is obvious to the EMT, a person is unconscious but breathing but the blood pressure has dropped significantly, that person is also taken directly to the hospital with an EMT working with the body on the way. The reason being, the person is likely bleeding internally. There are more details about this procedure, but I will stop here.
The rules for the British EMTs is not like ours; I looked up the British rules. They are supposed to "stabilize" the person before taking person to hospital. Diana was unconscious; the EMTs were trying to revive her/stabilize her, before going to hospital. She bled out inside and died right there. At that time, I had all the details of what they did and knew they waited too long to go to hospital. I did read one account where the EMTs were questioned about how long they waited before heading to hospital, so I was not the only one questioning their behavior.
The above is my opinion based on the facts I had.

Meghan and Harry have 'licenced' Lilibet Diana - New domain created for royal baby name
MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry have already created a domain for their new daughter Lilibet Diana, a royal biographer has claimed.
By Claire Anderson
PUBLISHED: 08:18, Mon, Jun 7, 2021 | UPDATED: 08:52, Mon, Jun 7, 2021
Meghan Markle, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, welcomed the birth of their daughter Lilibet "Lili" Diana on June 4. Lili, a younger sister for the Sussexes' two-year-old son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California weighing in at 7lb 11oz. Royal biographer Angela Levin has since claimed a domain has been set up in Lili's name.
While discussing if the royal couple would set up a foundation in Lili's name as they have with Archie Harrison, Ms Levin told ITV's Good Morning Britain the name has already been "licenced".
She said: "They've made a domain, Lilibet Diana, they did that yesterday.

Meghan, Harry’s choice of name Lilibet is ‘rude’ towards Queen, expert says
By Francesca Bacardi
June 7, 2021 | 7:43am
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to name their newborn Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is “rude” towards Queen Elizabeth II, a royal biographer claims.
Angela Levin suggested the decision was a bad idea because the private nickname was bestowed on Elizabeth by her late husband, Prince Philip.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea — I think it’s quite rude to Her Majesty Her Queen. It was a very private nickname from her husband, who hasn’t been dead for very long,” Levin said on “Good Morning Britain.”

Just when you thought they couldn't be any more obnoxious:
Rude? I see the two of them as completely disrespectful and deliberately hurtful.
I doubt the name truly sits well with the Queen. I see it as adding further insult to the Royals.

Harry and Meghan tried playing hard ball to get their way and it backfired. The Queen isn't budging nor is Charles and I believe rightfully so. It was Harry and Meghan's choice in the beginning not to give a title to Archie, as according to Harry, having a title was too overwhelming. I am still hoping that Charles will abdicate the throne to his son William. Though Charles is next in line, and rightful heir to the throne after Queen Elizabeth, I don't see anything exciting, appealing or flattering about Charles and Camilla.Oh well, this is America. They could always change his first name to Prince...

Harry and Meghan want Lilibet to be christened at Windsor in front of the Queen - with Duke making 'intentions clear' during visit for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue

I hear that Prince Harry and Meghan want a royal christening for their baby, Lilibet, held in the presence of the Queen.
The California-based couple's intentions are said to have been made clear during Harry's visit to this country for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue earlier this month.
'Harry told several people that they want to have Lili christened at Windsor, just like her brother,' a royal source tells me. 'They are happy to wait until circumstances allow.'

Russia hosts first royal wedding since revolution as descendant of tsars marries
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov wed Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.
NBC News, Oct 1, 2021
A descendant of Russia's former imperial family married his Italian bride on Friday in the first royal wedding to take place on Russian soil since tsarist times more than a century ago.
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov tied the knot with Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, an Italian, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.
Russian Orthodox clergy conducted the elaborate ceremony, watched by hundreds of guests who included the groom's mother, Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia — the self-proclaimed heir to Russia's imperial throne - and more than a dozen minor European royals.
George Mikhailovich's great-grandfather, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, fled Russia during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, escaping first to Finland and later relocating with his family to Western Europe.
Russia's last tsar, Nicholas II, his wife and five children were murdered by a revolutionary firing squad in July, 1918, in the cellar of a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg, a city 900 miles east of Moscow.
George Mikhailovich, 40, was born in Madrid and has lived most of his life in Spain and France.
Bettarini, 39, who converted to the Russian Orthodox faith last year and took the name Victoria Romanovna, was led to the altar by her father, Roberto Bettarini, who has served in the Italian diplomatic service.
The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over 300 years before Nicholas II abdicated in early 1917, setting the country on course for the Bolshevik Revolution in November of that year, civil war and 70 years of Communist rule.
Russia's Orthodox Church in 2000 canonised Nicholas II, who had been portrayed as a weak leader by Soviet authoritie

Meghan Markle was today accused of using her British royal title to meddle at the top of US politics and adopting the 'ruthless streak' and 'tactics of an aspiring politician' to lobby two senior Washington figures on Joe Biden's proposed parental and sick leave legislation in a 1000-word letter sent on the Sussexes' own headed paper.
Royals experts have also questioned whether Americans will be impressed 'by her account of how she had to struggle' on $4.99 salads from Sizzler when her estranged father Thomas put her through private school from kindergarten and she now lives in a $14million LA mansion while sitting on a $100million fortune.
The Duchess of Sussex's letter was sent, she claims, as an 'engaged citizen and a parent and as a mom' - but is being viewed as her most overtly political intervention in US life yet after speculation she has dreams of being a Democrat politician or even to run for US President. ...

Well,there can be no doubt she has the ego for it.
So, the Queen is aged and obviously her health has become a concern right now. I'm thinking we'll either see her stepping down or she will pass; she's had a very long reign. The question is -- will Charles take over as the rightful heir or will he abdicate the throne on to William? William and Kate are much more popular. Charles still carries some baggage because of Diana and Camilla, well, she just doesn't have much of a royal presence. Abdication though would involve the approval of parliament.
Queen Elizabeth II is advised to rest for at least 2 weeks and cuts back her schedule
— Queen Elizabeth II has been advised to rest for at least the next two weeks, accepting doctors' advice to cut back on her busy schedule, Buckingham Palace said Friday.
The 95-year-old monarch can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time — including some virtual audiences. But she will be unable to travel to the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, Nov. 13.
"However, it remains The Queen's firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on 14th November,'' the palace said, noting a major event on the monarch's annual calendar.
Queen Elizabeth has canceled a trip to Northern Ireland on the advice of her doctors
The decision comes just days after Elizabeth canceled her planned appearance at the U.N. climate conference in Glasgow — a move that dashed the hopes of Britain's Conservative government which is anxious to show the importance of the session to the fate of the planet. The climate conference runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 12 and her attendance was meant to kick it off in style and splendor.................

I also highly doubt that Charles will abdicate, either. Too much ego in that one. He'll want to set his own "stamp" on the monarchy and, feeling his age, will rush to do it all at once. Hopefully, the internal bureaucracy of the royal house will be up to the challenge of fending off the worst of his ideas.

I’d be fine with William and Kate.Sometimes I think she holds on for the Country, because most of those who follow are not of the same stuff.
I just can’t picture England without Elizabeth.
Next year she’ll be on the throne for 70 years. She’s been the only monarch so many people know.
(She will also be the second longest reining monarch, King Louis XIV was King for 72 years- I’d love to see Queen Elizabeth break this record)

Meghan says sorry to court for forgetting book discussionsAP via Yahoo News (https://www.yahoo.com/news/meghan-says-sorry-court-forgetting-093226664.html)
JILL LAWLESS
November 11, 2021, 4:32 AM
LONDON (AP) — The Duchess of Sussex has apologized for misleading a British court about the extent of her cooperation with the authors of a sympathetic book about her and Prince Harry.
The former Meghan Markle is embroiled in legal action in London over a newspaper’s publication of portions of a letter she wrote to her estranged father after her 2018 marriage to Harry, a grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.
She sued the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and the MailOnline website for breach of privacy and copyright. A High Court judge ruled in her favor in February, saying publication of the letter Meghan wrote to her father, Thomas Markle, was “manifestly excessive and hence unlawful.”
Publisher Associated Newspapers is trying to overturn that decision at the Court of Appeal. The publisher argues that Meghan wrote the letter knowing it might be published and made private information public by cooperating with Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of “Finding Freedom.”
The duchess’ lawyers have previously denied that she or Harry collaborated with the authors. But the couple’s former communications director, Jason Knauf, said in evidence to the court that he gave the writers information, and discussed it with Harry and Meghan. ...
Associated Newspapers says Knauf’s evidence also undermines Meghan’s claim that she did not intend the letter to be seen by anyone but her father. ...
The lovely Meghan caught in a bigtime lie.AP via Yahoo News (https://www.yahoo.com/news/meghan-says-sorry-court-forgetting-093226664.html)
She wrote the letter to her father with the express intention of using it to negatively portray the man in her book - and lied about it to the court.
In October, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made her most significant political intervention to date. She marked her fortieth birthday by writing an open letter “as a mom” to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and asked Congress to legislate for paid family leave for new parents. Markle may have thought she was pushing at an open door: the Democrats were striving to include paid family leave in the Build Back Better Act. But this may not be the only open door Meghan is pushing at.
Seasoned observers will notice the Markle trademarks in the letter. There is the folksy appeal to her humble heritage: “I grew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler… I knew how hard my parents worked to afford this because even at five bucks, eating out was something special, and I felt lucky.” There is the sound of enormous privilege being checked ever so modestly: “Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed. Like fewer parents, we weren’t confronted with the harsh reality of either spending those first few critical months with our baby or going back to work.”
She signed the letter “The Duchess of Sussex,” even though her husband’s grandmother has asked her not to use the title for political ends. But Meghan seems not to care about offending her in-laws: the duchess has set her sights higher than mere celebrity. After an enforced hiatus due to Covid-19, a domestic interlude which Meghan and Harry filled by producing a second child and some inspirational videos, the Sussexes are back. Her foray into lobbying in October, and her and Harry’s quasi-presidential appearance at the UN General Assembly in September, may be baby steps toward the greatest show on Earth: the White House.
There is the folksy appeal to her humble heritage: “I grew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler… I knew how hard my parents worked to afford this because even at five bucks, eating out was something special, and I felt lucky.”She was a lot more privileged than I, then. We couldn't afford to eat out at all, except for those rare times we were traveling and could stop at a Howard Johnson's.
CNN) — Britain's Queen Elizabeth II missed the Remembrance Sunday service in central London after spraining her back, Buckingham Palace said Sunday.
"The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today's Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph. Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service," a statement said.
Prince Charles laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on the Queen's behalf, as in previous years.
Buckingham Palace had confirmed on Thursday that the 95-year-old monarch was well enough to attend the ceremony to commemorate those who have died in conflicts.
She was a lot more privileged than I, then. We couldn't afford to eat out at all, except for those rare times we were traveling and could stop at a Howard Johnson's.

I saw this picture and the very first thing that caught my eye was Archie's hair. To my it looks like his hair was photoshopped in -- it just doesn't look natural, or it looks like someone put a bowl on his head and cut his hair -- it looks terrible.
Agree @libertybele Archie's hair is either photo enhanced ---- or dyed. Even Harry's hair wasn't that red at Archie's age. I really don't like these two.

I think Kate will be a lovely queen. She’s kind, compassionate, a good mom, and role model for girls and young women. I have no doubt she’ll be a wonderful queen when her time comes. Same with hubby William. I know he’ll be a very good king.
It will just be weird to hear people sing “G-d save the King” when that happens. I can’t imagine life in the UK without the Queen.
Provided the UK can survive King Charles (or whatever regal name he chooses for himself).
I read years ago he’ll go with George. He feels that Charles isn’t a lucky name for a king. (Charles 1 was beheaded)

PRINCE Andrew has tonight been STRIPPED of his royal title and all military honours after a face-to-face showdown with the Queen.
The bombshell news was announced by Buckingham Palace this evening and comes amid growing anger at the Duke of York's sex assault lawsuit.
His military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen with immediate effect after he was accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was just 17.
The Duke will also no longer be able to use 'His Royal Highness' - and will face his US lawsuit as a "private citizen" meaning he can't hide behind royal privileges.

The Queen may be trying to protect royal assets by kicking Andrew to the curb as a private citizen.
I feel for the Queen; first Harry is a disgrace and now Andrew. How terrible for her in her final years as queen. She must be absolutely mortified.
According to the NYT, -- More than 150 Royal Navy, R.A.F. and Army veterans signed a letter to the queen, asking her to strip Andrew of his eight British military appointments, which include colonel-in-chief of the Royal Irish Regiment, royal colonel of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, and colonel of the Grenadier Guards.

I wonder if she will survive this. She’s certainly had enough heartbreak lately.
What are the succession rules regarding gender? Princess Anne is older than Prince Andrew or Prince Edward, yet she is ranked lower than her two younger brothers. And with Edwards children, his daughter Louise is ranked below her younger brother James. Yet Princess Charlotte (4th in line) is ranked ahead of her younger brother Prince Louis.

Who’d have thought a 95-year-old woman, who’s just lost her husband of seven decades, could be so utterly ruthless? Who could know she’d stand ready to desert her favorite child? And who could imagine that she would put her business — “The Firm,” as she calls it — ahead of her nearest and dearest?
Okay, she might be the Queen, but even so her son Andrew must feel he’s been kicked hard by his own mother, right between the legs, just when he’s friendless and the whole world is denouncing him. She’s stripped off his military titles and royal patronages and instructed that he will no longer be called His Royal Highness. He’s no longer a working Royal, and a range of charities and trusts have cut their ties with him. Even his Twitter page has been deleted. Like a peacock, each of his colorful feathers are being ripped out, one by one, in full, painful, public view.
And all of this is despite the fact that he hasn’t, as yet, been found guilty of anything.
Can’t these two grifters just go away? *****rollingeyes*****
Sage of Montecito Speaks: Prince Harry Has Advice on Handling ‘Hard Days, Burnout, and Bad Stuff’Full story at Breitbart (https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/02/04/sage-of-montecito-speaks-prince-harry-has-advice-on-handling-hard-days-burnout-and-bad-stuff/)

Prince Harry used a virtual summit Friday to open up about his personal feelings, sharing how he dealt with “burnout” and once felt like he was “getting to the very end of everything that I had” as life’s travails closed in on his Royal progress.
The multi-millionaire also urged employers to grant staff more time off, pleading firms should “give everyone time to focus on themselves” away from the demands of the working day.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, made the comments alongside tennis star Serena Williams with his palatial $15 million Montecito, California, mansion providing a backdrop.
The pair were hosted by BetterUp, the San Francisco mental health start-up he joined last year as self-described Chief Impact Officer, as Breitbart News reported.
In the exchange, Harry lamented he was “literally getting to the very end of everything that I had, any fuel or any steam in the engine just like I was burning the candle at both ends,” continuing his personal habit of constantly sharing his inner thoughts with the world while pleading for privacy. ...

"When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service," she said in a statement released on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since she ascended the throne in 1952.
That means Camilla would be known as "Queen Camilla." It was previously unclear if she would receive the title.

So, extortion works?
It's bi-directional extortion. She extorts Randy Andy for money (no money, no silence); Randy Andy extorts her for silence (no silence, no money). The truth remains in the shadows behind closed doors.
The settlement rewards one side with money, the other with silence, to hide criminal acts from the public and prosecutors.
I didn't realize Randy Andy was a conservative or a Republican.
I also didn't realize that international human trafficking of minors for sex was a private matter.
The settlement rewards one side with money, the other with silence, to hide criminal acts from the public and prosecutors.
I see cheap sleazy reality shows in Andy's future. Letch has gotta eat ya know. /s
I don't like it when wealthy people buy their way out of shared values or shared sacrifice.
Just because someone has the wealth to "buy carbon offsets for their private jets", "buy the silence of their victims", or "afford the best lawyers" does not make their behavior right.
Randy Andy sexually assaulted an underage girl, not an adult woman legally capable of consent. That's what makes it a public matter, no different than the Catholic Church child sexual abuse scandals.
Persons and institutions of wealth and power have used a culture of silence prevent them from being held accountable for crimes against children, and other vulnerbale persons.
Rape of a minor is not a private matter, whether perpetrated by a member of NAMBLA or by a member the British Royal Family.

rince Charles faces being interviewed by police over an alleged ‘cash for honours’ scandal, it emerged last night.
Scotland Yard has announced an inquiry into claims surrounding his once closest aide, Michael Fawcett.
The bombshell for the royals comes less than 24 hours after the abject humiliation of Prince Andrew having to pay to resolve a sexual abuse lawsuit.
The police probe follows a Mail on Sunday revelation that Mr Fawcett allegedly offered to help Saudi billionaire Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz upgrade his honorary CBE to a knighthood – and support his application for British citizenship – in exchange for ‘generous’ donations to Charles’s charitable foundation.

Prince Harry's reported decision to cut ties with a controversial tycoon over "cash for access" fears has heaped fresh pressure on his father Prince Charles.
The Duke of Sussex was reportedly being courted by Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz with offers of a £1 million ($1.36 million) donation in 2014 when it apparently started to appear as though the tycoon wanted an in-person visit in Saudi Arabia in return for the money.
Harry's staffer Mark Dyer swiftly applied the brakes warning of "cash for access" concerns only to be told Prince Charles had suggested the trip, The Sunday Times reported, citing leaked emails. However, a palace source said Prince Charles did not encourage Harry to visit Saudi Arabia. ...
Police are now investigating whether the chief executive of Charles' charity, The Prince's Foundation, may have broken the law by offering help securing a knighthood and U.K. citizenship to the tycoon in return for donations. ...
Queen Elizabeth II will no longer call Buckingham Palace home: report

Queen Elizabeth II has permanently quit living in Buckingham Palace, according to a report.
“She has her memories with Prince Philip there, she has her ponies there and family nearby. It makes sense.”
The decision comes after a series of health scares for the Queen, who on Monday met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Windsor Castle — in her first in-person engagement since falling ill with COVID-19.
In October, she also spent a night in the hospital for an unspecified ailment, scaling back her official duties and resting afterward on doctors’ orders.

The 95-year-old UK monarch, who called the palace home for most of her record-breaking 70-year reign, has decided to permanently reside in her weekend home, Windsor Castle, according to the Times of London.
The decision was based partly on an ongoing “reservicing” of the palace — but also Elizabeth’s preference for the castle, where she spent her last days with late husband Prince Philip, sources told the paper.
“Windsor is the place she loves,” one of her acquaintances, royal author and deputy lord lieutenant of Berkshire Hugo Vickers, told the UK Times.
Seems like she's slowly stepping aside. This is surprisingly sad. :crying:
Prince Harry is also now not expected to come to the UK for a service of thanksgiving for Prince Philip, to be held later this month.
I can remember when he used to be a man,back before Meagan neutered him.
Harry is shameful. He's the one that decided he didn't want the 'royal benefits' and left and also didn't want Archie to have a royal title -- now he's whimpering like a baby. If he's willing to pay for his own security, I'm not seeing why he doesn't feel safe. Sounds like a spoiled brat who didn't get his way. Denying his grandmother the chance to see her great grandchild (supposedly named after the Queen) is just despicable.
Queen now 'unlikely' to meet Lilibet, Royal expert says after Prince Harry is slammed for refusing to travel to Britain for Prince Philip's memorial service amid ongoing court battle with Home Office over his security as royal rift 'remains unhealed'

That virtue signal sure turned into a cock-up. I think Harry and Ms Thang thought they could keep all the Royal goodies while still playing American celebrity. I'm surprised she hasn't left him for a pool boy.
The Queen's lost weight ........
Well, she took the picture without her 'walking stick' and was still able to do an afternoon tea. I think for 95 she's doing pretty darn good.
I agree @libertybele ... Just a little worried about her.
Kate is stunning. And he’s an absolute jerk if the rumors of his infidelities are true.

What rumors are those?
If you google Prince William and Rose Hanbury, you’ll find plenty of “information”. Not saying any of it’s true. I sincerely hope it’s not.

I had no idea. I am hoping it is not true; this would be yet another Royal scandal. I went and read bits and pieces from different tabloids and what does stand out is that Rose was pregnant with twins and married within several days to someone much older than her -- it was a quick trip to the altar.
From Charles and Princess Di and his affair with Camilla and Princess Di's death, and then Prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein Island along with all the shenanigans of Harry and Markle, I hope that William and Kate will be without scandal. The poor Queen!

Pictures: Tearful Queen Elizabeth II, Royal Family Attend Memorial for Prince Phillip
About 1,800 family members and guests attended the memorial. Only 30 people were allowed at the funeral, conducted under strict lockdown rules that forced the queen to sit alone wearing a black mask as she mourned the loss of her husband of 73 years. Philip, duke of Edinburgh, died on April 9 at age 99.
The Rev. David Conner remembered Philip’s service to the queen and dedication to environmental protection and his commitment to equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed through his Duke of Edinburgh Award.
“Through his passionate commitment, he drew others to himself in admiration and respect and, in the case of those who lived and worked most closely to him, genuine love,” Conner said.
There were also subtler honors, delivered as the royals often do through their clothing choices. Elizabeth, her daughter, Princess Anne, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, were all dressed in dark green – echoing Philip’s livery color of Edinburgh Green.

Meghan Markle is now trying to trademark the historic word ‘archetypes’ after announcing that her first series of podcasts for audio streaming giant Spotify would be called Archetypes.
The Duchess of Sussex made the application at the United States Patent and Trademark Office last month which covers the use of ‘archetypes’, a word which derives from ancient Greek and first entered into English usage around the 1540s.
The dizzying list of goods and services involved are ‘in the fields of cultural treatment of women and stereotypes facing women’. ... Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10689601/Now-Meghan-tries-trademark-word-archetypes.html)

Queen says she was ‘tired and exhausted’ during bout of Covid
Her Majesty, 95, contracted COVID-19 in February, and experienced “mild cold-like symptoms”, according to Buckingham Palace. In a statement, the Palace said the Queen planned to continue with “light duties” from Windsor Castle.
They added: "She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
The Queen tested positive for the virus two days after her son, Prince Charles, revealed he had also contracted the disease.
He had met with his mother on February 8, before testing positive two days later.
A number of people within the Royal household at Windsor contracted Covid at the same time.

Some good points in article,and a lot of hot gossip about Harry, William, Charles and Andrew. ,
... The truth about Harry, Brown says, “is he’s so emotionally needy that he’s been completely and utterly taken over by Meghan and his whole personality has changed. It’s a really sad thing to a great many people. Meghan seems to answer some huge need in Harry and it seems like they are in a powerful co-dependency. And I do question how it will end.”:silly:
Perhaps, she muses, “he’ll wake up and realize he’s living in Goop [Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website] and he has to get the hell out, go down the pub and see his friends.” ...

The couple arrived yesterday morning, according to reports, and are believed to have used Frogmore Cottage, the home used by Princess Eugenie and her family, as a base.
It is understood that they attended the Maundy Thursday service, which the Queen missed for the first time since 1970, because of mobility issues, prompting the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall to step in.
A spokesman for Harry and Meghan confirmed their visit and said that they had stopped off in the UK on their way to The Hague in the Netherlands to attend the Invictus games. They visited the Queen’s official residence for a meeting with the 95-year-old monarch and Prince Charles, who was there with the Duchess of Cornwall. ...

Harry and Meghan have been accused of 'exploiting the Queen for Netflix' and making their top-secret trip for 'clear the air talks' with the elderly monarch and Prince Charles at Windsor to please American producers of their upcoming documentary.
A royal expert has claimed that the duke and duchess, who have not been in the UK together since they acrimoniously quit as senior working royals more than two years ago, made the secret visit 'all for their Netflix documentary'.
Speaking to MailOnline, Meghan's acid-penned biographer Tom Bower sensationally branded the Sussexes 'the Royal Family's worst traducers' and accused the couple of 'exploiting an old, unwell woman to boost their credibility and coffers'.
Meanwhile, royal correspondent Robert Jobson said that it was 'significant' that William and Kate were not involved in the meeting. The brothers' relationship has been at rock bottom since Harry pressed the nuclear button on his royal life.
Netflix is expected to send a camera crew to follow Harry and Meghan when they meet the Ukraine team at the Invictus Games for injured military veterans in The Netherlands for their documentary about the Paralympic-style games.

The Queen is celebrating her 96th birthday on Thursday in Sandringham.
Britain's longest-reigning monarch travelled by helicopter to her Norfolk estate, where she is being joined by family and friends.
She is thought to be staying in a cottage particularly liked by her late husband, Prince Philip.
A photograph has been released to mark the birthday, showing the Queen with two ponies and reflecting her lifelong interest in horses.
The picture was taken at Windsor Castle, where the Queen now mostly stays, and shows her with two Fell ponies, who will appear in the forthcoming Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Harry and Meghan today pledged to be in Britain with their children for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee next month - in a bombshell announcement released just minutes after Her Majesty banned them and Prince Andrew from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
The defiant Sussexes have finally revealed that they will fly in from California with Archie, three today, and Lilibet, 11 months, to attend celebrations marking the monarch's extraordinary 70 years on the throne that begin on June 2.
A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said: ‘Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations with their children.’

Good for QE2....
Now they're desperate to start currying favor with the family again.This probably isn't the way to go about it.
The Queen will not be attending tomorrow's state opening of Parliament - only the third time in her reign she has failed to do so, Buckingham Palace has said.
The Prince of Wales will read the Queen's Speech on her behalf.
During the ceremony the monarch reads out the government's plans for upcoming legislation.
Before now, the Queen has only missed the opening of Parliament twice during her time on the throne - in 1959 and 1963 when she was pregnant.
It is the latest in a number of events she has been forced to miss in recent months.

The Queen will miss the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral in London on Friday 'with great reluctance', Buckingham Palace announced.
The 96-year-old monarch, who has been suffering with mobility issues, is said to have experienced 'discomfort' during today's events, which kickstarted the four-day Platinum Jubilee celebration to commemorate her 70-year reign.
However the head of state will still make an appearance at tonight's lighting of the beacons.

This day in Royal History, 1937,
The former King Edward VIII marries Mrs. Simpson
Having abdicated the British throne after a reign of only 326 days, the former King Edward VIII marries the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson at a French chateau. Edward's decision to choose the woman he loves over his kingdom has caused a domestic crisis, with war on Britain's horizon.
The Queen Mum, Elizabeth’s mum never forgave him for this. I can’t help but wonder if Edward VIII hadn’t abdicated, Elizabeth’s father wouldn’t have become king, and might Elizabeth had ever become queen?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were noticeably booed while leaving the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday. Jeers were loudly heard during the couple’s first public appearance with the royal family since they stepped back in 2020. Catcalls overpowered the bells as the couple put on a brave face.
As for Prince William and Kate Middleton, they received the loudest cheers of the morning.

The Queen will not attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The monarch, a keen racehorse owner and breeder, is expected to watch the major sporting event on television at Windsor Castle.
There had been speculation the Queen would not appear at the horse race due to the ongoing mobility issues she experienced during her two appearances on Thursday.
Just wow. Stunning.

@Gefn in what I've been sadly reading is that this Jubilee also signifies a slow transition from HRH to Charles. God bless her. She is 96 years old and she has proudly served for 70 years.

Harry and Meghan finally got what they deserve — a chorus of royally loud boos
NY Post, Jun 3, 2022, Maureen Callahan
(https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/harry-meghan-2.jpg?quality=75&strip=all)
Finally, Harry and Meghan got what they deserve: boos!
That smug smile, at long last, has been wiped off Meghan’s face. Actual tears, not her usual crocodile variety, welled up. She was visibly unnerved.
Makes sense. Like all malignant narcissists, Meghan is only capable of feeling sorry for herself. Lest we forget Meghan, the grand duchess, standing among impoverished, starving African children and griping — to a broadcast interviewer! — “Not many people have asked me if I’m OK.”
May I be among the first to ask: So, Meghan, how are you feeling now?
After two years of accusing the British royal family of everything from wishing Meghan would kill herself to being racist toward her unborn baby to being held literal prisoner by royal staffers to accusing Kate Middleton of making Meghan cry — while branding themselves as eco-warrior-humanitarian-mental-health-experts, motto, for real, “Be kind” — these two get their comeuppance.
It’s exquisite.
Turns out the royals know a bit about mental health and manipulators themselves, because they’ve deployed the only tactic that works: the gray rock. It’s like dealing with toddlers having tantrums — you just ignore, ignore, ignore until they tire themselves out.
The royals have played the long game, brilliantly putting the Sussexes in a no-win situation: Decline their invite and look mean, petty and vengeful, slighting the ailing queen on her historic jubilee. Accept and get the coldest of shoulders before an audience of billions.
Get the message now, kids?
How gratifying to see H&M shuffled off to the cheap seats in the second row, across the aisle from Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, none of whom cast a glance their way. How elegantly the BRF has slid in the knife: no official portraits with the queen, no appearance on the balcony, no access to any royals of consequence in public.
Harry and Meghan are royals now in name only.
Hey, they always said they just wanted to be regular people, right?
H&M weren’t even in attendance at the buffet luncheon after Friday’s service. Will and Kate were, though.
Instead, those two slunk off to Frogmore Cottage, that dump they spent millions in taxpayer funds renovating before fleeing to Montecito.
One can imagine Harry and Meghan frantically doom-scrolling through their media coverage while drowning their sorrows in kale juice and victimhood, plotting how they might commodify this latest injustice.
After all, they’ll need the money. Charles stopped paying the bills over a year ago. Spotify isn’t happy. Neither is Netflix. George Clooney, Oprah — even Gayle won’t take their calls.
Even worse, this jubilee weekend was supposed to give Harry tons of material for his big tell-all memoir. All he’s going home with is a sad view from the second row.

Harry and Meghan celebrated their daughter Lilibet's first birthday in Windsor yesterday with a 'relaxed' birthday party —with royal second cousins invited to the festivities.
The couple held an informal garden party at Frogmore Cottage, on the royal estate, with a birthday cake, balloons, party games and picnic snacks, it is understood.
]The little girl's birthday party was open to Zara and Mike Tindall's three children, Mia, eight, Lena, three, and Lucas, one, as well as Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, daughters of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly.
Three-year-old Archie's godfather, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his brother Tom, godfather to Princess Charlotte, were also invited, it is understood.
'It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party,' a source told The Sun. 'The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.'
They said that it was a 'nice opportunity' for some of the royal children to meet little Lilibet, with this trip being her first time in the UK.
They added that 'lots of discussion' had been had about the best gifts for the 'milestone' birthday, with a '£75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy' proving a popular idea.

Latest Platinum Jubilee news as the Queen celebrates 70 years of service
By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter
Published: 09:12 EDT, 6 June 2022 | Updated: 09:36 EDT, 6 June 2022
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the Queen's Platinum Jubilee early because the Royal Family has 'moved on' without them and the couple are not the stars that they think they are, experts told MailOnline today.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have been 'really fed up' at being sidelined by the palace's 'men in suits' they have been so scathing about since quitting in 2020, it has been claimed.
And as they were met with some booing at their only public appearance at St Paul's on Friday, the couple will have learned that the British public believe being a royal is 'about service, not about self', one critic said. Another told MailOnline: 'Their attitude seems to be if we’re not centre stage we don’t really want to be here'.

It was asinine and ridiculous that they couldn't have stayed a few days longer and celebrated Lili's b'day after the Jubilee. Having the b'day when they did was nothing more than them wanting the focus to be all about them! CA suits them; London not so much.
So far she looks more like Harry with the reddish hair. She's cute enough, but meh... I'm not a fan of her parents (poor child).
Royal Source Accuses Harry and Meghan of ‘Overshadowing’ Queen’s Jubilee With Abrupt Exit
"WOULD IT HAVE KILLED THEM?’"
Daily Beast, Jun 6, 2022
There was widespread astonishment in royal circles Monday after it was confirmed that Meghan and Harry left Britain by private jet before the platinum jubilee celebrations were finished, delivering a snub to the queen and organizers of the event.
A friend of the royals expressed the irritation felt by many at what was perceived by some to be a churlish and attention-grabbing departure, telling The Daily Beast on Monday, “So much for not overshadowing the queen. Would it have killed them to wait a few hours?”
As The Daily Beast reported Sunday, the couple boarded a private jet an hour before the big jubilee pageant in central London began, landing back in Los Angeles at 6 p.m. local time Sunday.
A source told The Sun, “They just left.”
While there had been suspicions that the couple perhaps didn’t have the best experience of the jubilee, spending much of the celebrations hidden away behind closed doors, and not invited to many of the weekend’s most significant events, their decision to flee the country while the queen’s life was being celebrated by 6,000 military and civilian performers in central London looks distinctly churlish.
They were in the air, crossing the Atlantic, when the queen emerged on the Buckingham Palace balcony at 5 p.m. for her surprise balcony appearance with Prince Charles and Prince William, both of whom Harry has publicly criticized.

I listened to the commentary -- ugh .... quit making excuses for the grifters. They snubbed the Queen and the rest of their family and they were ticked that they didn't draw the attention that they were hoping to. Using Lili's b'day as an excuse to try and draw controversy. Shame on them for not staying over a day or two which would enable the rest of her family to celebrate.
Agreed..she could have had the party today for the whole family....but maybe she did it this way because no one cared anymore?..they're tired of being played by these two?....hmmm!

Maybe he was just cranky and over-excited from all the activities of the Jubilee.
A “furious” Prince Harry will likely want “an apology” amid reports he was royally snubbed by Queen Elizabeth II and company at last week’s Platinum Jubilee, according to self-proclaimed royal expert Angela Levin.If this is true, and not just the fevered fantasies of Ms. Levin, Harry needs to be taken out to the woodshed (figuratively) by his father.

You could tell Harry was furious while Meghan continued to smile through the whole ceremony like an idiot.

Kate Middleton and Prince William viewed a special piece of artwork on Thursday — their first official joint portrait.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on hand for the painted portrait's unveiling during a visit to their namesake region of Cambridgeshire, which is a county in the City of Cambridge. The couple received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from Queen Elizabeth on their wedding day in April 2011.
William and Kate, both 40, stopped by the University of Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum in the heart of Cambridge, where they viewed the painted artwork as it was revealed to the public for the first time. The piece was commissioned in 2021 by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund, which is held by the Cambridge Community Foundation, as a gift to Cambridgeshire. It was painted by award-winning British portrait artist Jamie Coreth.

Queen Elizabeth is ‘fading away before our very eyes’: royal expert
By Andrew Court
June 24, 2022 4:50pm
A royal expert is sounding an alarm, saying new photographs of Queen Elizabeth II show the beloved monarch “fading away before our very eyes.”
Daniela Elser penned an op-ed for Australian outlet News.com.AU on Friday, saying images of the queen greeting New South Wales Governor Margaret Beazley in the UK last week were “nothing short of alarming.”
The snaps show the 96-year-old royal wearing a bright yellow dress as she smiles and shakes hands with the Australian politician inside Windsor Castle.
Elser claims the images are unremarkable until they are compared with photographs taken of the queen in a similar outfit back in June 2021, when she met former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
“The difference is truly startling,” the royal expert writes. “In the intervening 12 months, Her Majesty would appear to have become markedly more stooped, much thinner and overall appears to have shrunk.”
The Post has reached out for comment from the Queen’s communications secretary.

According to excerpts of a new biography of Meghan by British author Tom Bower, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, Meghan angrily called her publicists, Ken Sunshine and Keyleigh Thomas Morgan, telling them that Buckingham Palace were enraged by the article and that their agency, Sunshine Sachs, should have had comments she made about her and Harry being an item removed. In the interview Meghan said: “We’re a couple. We’re in love.” Shortly after it appeared in the September 2017 issue, Harry and Meghan announced their engagement.

Prince Harry says Covid and climate change have left him feeling 'battered and helpless' after 'a painful year in a painful decade' while revealing how fatherhood has made campaigning more important to him
Daily Mail/UK, Jul 18, 2022
Prince Harry today described how Covid and climate change had left him feeling 'battered and helpless' after a 'painful year in a painful decade' - as he revealed how fatherhood had made campaigning more important to him.
During a sombre speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Nelson Mandela Day, the Duke of Sussex said Covid is 'continuing to ravage communities in every corner of the globe' and the world is facing 'an endless stream of disasters and devastation'.
Invoking Mandela's description of hope as 'like a lifebelt is to a swimmer', Harry said: 'Let's be honest, how many of us are in danger of losing those lifebelts right now?
How many of us feel battered, helpless, in the face of a seemingly endless stream of disasters and devastation. I understand, this has been a painful year in a painful decade.'

Prince Charles agreed to take £1million from the family of 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden for his charity despite objections from advisers
Charles said to have accepted funds from two half-brothers of Osama Bin Laden
Agreement made following private meeting between Charles and Bakr Bin Laden
The payment came despite protestations from his advisers to return the money
Charles reportedly warned of reputational damage if it became known to public

Prince Charles agreed to take £1million from the family of al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden for his charity - despite objections from his advisers.
The royal, 73, is understood to have accepted the payment for the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation from Bakr bin Laden, head of the family, and his brother Shafiq - both half-brothers of 9/11 mastermind Osama.
The agreement was made following a private meeting between Charles and Bakr, 76, at Clarence House on October 30, 2013, two years after the terrorist was shot dead during a special operation by US forces in Pakistan, The Sunday Times reports.
It came despite protestations from advisers at Clarence House and the charity, who are said to have pleaded with him to return the money.
A member of staff at Clarence House is understood to have warned that, if the revelation was to become public knowledge, it would cause nationwide outrage.
Charles was also reportedly told that 'it would not be good for anybody' if it became known that he had accepted the payment from the family of the man behind the infamous terror attack, while another warned of huge reputational damage.
A source told The Times: 'The fact that a member of the highest level of the British establishment was choosing to broker deals with a name and a family that not only rang alarm bells, but abject horror around the world... why would you do this? What good reason is there to do this?'

PRINCE Charles has been making regular morning visits to the Queen at Balmoral as she continues to suffer mobility problems.
They are a sign of the Prince of Wales' concern for his mother as unplanned visits between households on the estate are highly unusual, royal experts say.
The Sun revealed yesterday how the 96-year-old monarch is not expected to travel the 1,000-mile round-trip from Balmoral to appoint a new Prime Minister next month.
She has battled for almost a year with mobility problems and closest advisors are worried about her comfort on the 48-hour trip when the incoming PM can readily travel to Scotland.

An airport golf cart met with the Range Rover and shuttled the British royal’s bodyguard back with his sports equipment. Harry boarded Bombardier Challenger 600 which, according to reports, is owned by Marc Ganzi, a businessman and a polo enthusiast. ...

Meghan Markle says British press called her children ‘the N-word’: ‘You tell me how that makes sense’
According to Markle, Prince Harry said 'I lost my dad' due to toxic tabloid scrutiny
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News
Meghan Markle wasn’t eager to share photos of her children with the British press for a reason.
During her time as an active member of the British royal family, the Duchess of Sussex was expected to release pictures of her now 3-year-old son, Archie, to the Royal Rota, which is the press pool that covers Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family.
"There’s literally a structure," the former American actress explained in The Cut cover story on Monday.
"Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my children before I can share with the people that love my children?" the 41-year-old, who is biracial, explained. "You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game."
According to the duchess, she and her husband, Prince Harry, didn’t have any control over the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account that they initially shared with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
One month before Archie was born, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched their own Instagram handle, @sussexroyal, where they refused to play the "exchange game." Instead, they broke their own news and even posted photos that sometimes never made it to the Royal Rota. But after they stepped back as senior members of the royal family, they shut down the account. The outlet noted that they can no longer use "royal" in their branding.
Markle later announced that she wasn’t returning to social media due to constant bullying from trolls.
The duchess also weighed in on the "toxic" tabloid culture and how it negatively impacted two families.

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again.
Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers. An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from “long before I met Harry,” she says), and that scent fills the air, mingling with the gentle tones of a flamenco-inflected guitar floating from a speaker. Then, in the lull in conversation, Meghan turns to me and leans forward to ask in a conspiratorial hush, “Do you want to know a secret?”

'Madiba's celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So It cannot be equated to as the same', he said

Meghan moans about her life as a Hollywood trophy wife
by Tiana Lowe, Commentary Writer
September 01, 2022 04:31 PM
For someone who incessantly complains about being silenced, Meghan Markle never seems to shut up.
The B-list actress formerly known as the Duchess of Sussex has officially spent more time whining about her royal in-laws than she actually spent as a working royal — fewer than two years, including an extended maternity vacation. Now, she is in The Cut moaning about her horrible life as a Hollywood trophy wife to a literal prince.
The magazine’s cover star was ostensibly promoting the overdue launch of her feminist podcast Archetypes. A full 21 months elapsed between Meg and her husband, Harry, inking their reported $25 million deal with Spotify and the launch of their first series. So the Mountbatten-Windsors need the coverage as much as The Cut needs the clicks. But the real drama came not from Meghan rehashing yet again how (to borrow a phrase from Tina Brown) a 1,000-year-old company headed by a 96-year-old monarch was insufficiently progressive for a Soho House socialite. It was, rather, Markle’s thoroughly modern and distinctly Californian woe: keeping up with the Joneses of Montecito.
When Harry first blindsided his dear old dad and granny with the news that he and his wife were divorcing the family, they decamped from Canada to California. Despite having never actually met billionaire producer Tyler Perry in person, Meghan nabbed an invite for her and Harry to sojourn at his Beverly Hills mansion at the start of the pandemic.
Then Meghan found the house described by The Cut’s Allison P. Davis as “the kind of big that startles you into remembering that unimaginable wealth is actually someone’s daily reality ... evokes a classic Tuscan villa, a Napa vineyard, and a manicured Beverly Hills country club decorated with careful, considered coastal tones for a casual air — the home equivalent of billionaires dressing down in denim.”

There can be no question about her being a FINE looking woman. Nothing whatsoever wrong or off about her appearance.
Her personality is a whole different matter,though.
As for how she managed to bag a Prince,who never seemed to have ANY trouble bagging beautiful women will remain a mystery for all time. It ain't like he wasn't getting laid by beautiful women.
Maybe she hypnotized him using some method that is permanent?
She then addressed the audience, and told young future world leaders: 'You are the future... you are the present... You are the ones driving the positive and necessary change across the globe now, in this very moment. And for that I am so grateful to be in your company today.' ...Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11182253/Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-arrive-One-Young-World-summit-Manchester.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR0KpOT7LwBBGNuZpR3FaKu3h3HBDozw1UiV2anOIVZDiT6VuD_kHURL4fE)
The Duchess added: 'Because the truth was, I wasn't sure that I belonged. I was so nervous, I doubted myself and I wondered, wondered if I was good enough to be there?' But she added One Young World, 'saw in me, just as I see in you, the present and the future.' ...
Meghan said: 'And I want to make that point because often times I speak to young girls about the years ahead. About what you will do, about what you will have to adopt to fix from previous generations and also what legacy you will leave.
'Too often in that, we neglect the point - you are doing it now. You, here, in this present moment, this is where it is all beginning.'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be the ones to say sorry to William and Kate who would have 'brutally rebutted' any request to meet at Windsor this week because they 'no longer trust them’, royal experts told MailOnline today.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue their engagements in Britain this afternoon by attending the WellChild Awards in London before heading back the US, perhaps as early as tonight.
But despite staying at Frogmore Cottage - a stone's throw from the Cambridges at their new Adeleide Cottage home - the Cambridges and Sussexes have not met amid claims Harry never told Prince William they were coming to the UK, with the Duke of Cambridge reportedly finding out from the media.
And Omid Scobie, the couple's biographer and considered their mouthpiece in the UK, claims Meghan and Harry will not reach out until the Cambridges take 'accountability for crossing a line'.
But royal experts say that the reality is that William 'no longer trusts his brother' and the Cambridges 'have good reason to dislike him and Meghan' after their regular transatlantic 'truth bombs' – so would have refused to attend any summit.
Journalist and author Phil Dampier, who has penned a book about the Sussexes romance, said: 'It’s terribly sad that it’s come to this but it’s really up to Harry and Meghan to put down their weapons and think about a peace deal.
'William certainly no longer trusts his brother. If in his book Harry criticises Kate for making Meghan cry in the run up to her wedding, or if he accuses Camilla of ruining his parents’ marriage, I fear there will be no way back for him and William and Charles will cut him off permanently.
'The trouble is they've signed up for big money deals and can’t pull out yet without losing a fortune'.

I just read that the "royal horses" had been transported to Balmoral.
Such a beautiful picture! Such a classy lady.
Concerns are mounting over the health of Queen Elizabeth II — and her death will kick off a meticulous plan of action dubbed “Operation London Bridge.”
The all-hands protocol, set up in the 1960s, gives detailed instructions on how to handle the first 10 days after Her Majesty’s passing, ensuring a smooth transition of the throne to her eldest son, Prince Charles.
The operation’s nursery rhyme-sounding name represents a secret code used to communicate the sad news to the most senior Buckingham Palace staff and members of government — before it is finally announced to the rest of the world.
To keep the news under wraps, those first alerted will be told, “London Bridge is down.”

I didn't realize that Charles was an envirowhacko, but the speech given by William at the Jubilee pointed out that he was an envirowhacko as wel.

At age 14, with her nation at war with Nazi Germany, then-Princess Elizabeth gave her first radio address, urging children to be brave. At 18, she joined the war effort, training as a mechanic. As Queen, she inspired many with a life of service and left a lasting legacy.

The history of the world has revealed only a few lasting arguments for political legitimacy, and the most venerable of all is a hereditary monarchy. In the modern age, no monarch has been the equal of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in dignity and long reign. The queen’s death at her beloved Balmoral Castle marks the end of Britain’s second Elizabethan age, and the nation’s outpouring of grief is not only for the loss of their queen but the loss of the truths and principles to which she had dedicated her long life and historic reign. ...Albert Mohler in WORLD magazine (https://wng.org/opinions/whether-it-be-long-or-short-1662660747)
Queen Elizabeth reigned through 15 British prime ministers—her first was Winston Churchill—and she, in herself, was the continuity of government. Her Christmas messages often revealed her explicit affirmation of Christian truth. Her personal stability and rectitude defined her dignity, and her dignity was grounded in centuries of royal duty and British history behind her. She understood herself to be the living representation of the nation and the embodiment of its legitimacy. When the nation suffered, she suffered. When the nation rejoiced, she rejoiced.
She could not look at a British coin or stamp without seeing her own image, and yet she was no Caesar. She was the head of state but not the head of government. She loved horses and, we are told, had a sense of humor. She could never understand a figure like Diana, and she appeared both disappointed and perplexed by the bizarre trajectory of her grandson, Prince Harry. There were signs she had much more hope invested in Prince William, second in line of succession. She was in absolutely no hurry to leave the throne open for Charles, but she surely knew she would have no control over who would follow her there.
Duty fell to her at such an early age, and she carried it so well, for so long, on behalf of so many. Americans sense that the British people are our near relatives and that the British monarch remains a part of our own identity. Few could have predicted, even just a century ago, that Americans would come to love a British monarch. America had respected Queen Victoria and then, to a greater and lesser degree, a succession of kings. But Americans loved Elizabeth from the start. Her death brings an end to an age, not just for the British people, but for us all. ...

The future of the 'slimmed down' Monarchy: Charles is set to use reign to overhaul the future of the Royal family - so will Harry and Andrew be out in the cold forever?
Royal watchers say King Charles has wanted to cut back Monarchy for a smaller core 'for a very long time'

Prince Edward and wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, along with Princess Anne, also likely to have a 'key role'
Prince Andrew, who stepped back from royal duties in 2019 over sex assault allegations, is likely to miss out
Also likely to miss out is Prince Harry, King Charles' youngest son, after moving to US with Meghan Markle
By James Robinson and Harry Howard, History Correspondent For Mailonline

King Charles III could be set to launch a radical overhaul of the monarchy in the wake of his mother's death - a move which may leave Princes Harry and Andrew out in the cold forever.
The King's desire to slim down the front-line Royal Family has long been documented, with experts suggesting Charles wishes to turn the monarchy into a 'leaner machine' with 'less to gossip about'.
Royal watchers believe the former Prince of Wales is keen to ensure there are 'no hangers-on' in the Firm, with each member being expected to pull their weight in a new and more streamlined monarchy.
The concept of the 'slimmed-down monarch' was clear to see during the Platinum Jubilee in June when the Queen restricted those appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony to working members of the Royal Family.
But King Charles' original model, which reportedly involved a tight core of just seven people, including himself, has been thrown into doubt following a series of external events.
The plan, put in motion before the Queen's death, originally included the long-reigning monarch along with Prince Philip, King Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate and Prince Harry.
Philip died aged 99 in 2021, while Harry's future in the slimmed-down monarchy seems hugely doubtful following his decision to quit front line royal duties and move to America with his wife Meghan Markle.
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew, who would likely have featured in a slimmed-down monarchy as a son of the Queen and King Charles' brother, has been outcast since his US sex assault lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre.
But that has pushed Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, into the fray as 'key' parts of King Charles' future monarchy, according to royal watchers.
(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/09/08/19/62215167-10639221-image-a-5_1662662572908.jpg)
Meanwhile, experts warn a slimmed-down monarchy could see the royals pull back on its traditional model of attending thousands of engagements each year.
Others warn the number of patroganages could be reduced to allow royals to focus in more detail on a smaller number of key issues - with experts suggesting the environment could become a key part of King Charles' plans for his reign.
Speaking on UCL Political Science Events podcast in March 2022, Dr Craig Prescott said: 'I think there are potentially great risks with slimming down the size of the Royal Family, because as Bob [Dr Robert Morris] says, the question is: What is the monarchy meant to do?
'But I think that the other question is: "What is it going to stop doing?" And you're going to create, perhaps, some disappointment at the things that then get left out.'
Despite this, and the loss of would-be key members, royal watchers believe Charles will likely to push ahead with plans to slim down the monarchy.
Royal biographer Angela Levin told TalkRadio in May 2021 that the heir apparent has wanted to cut back the core of the working royals 'for a very long time' in order to 'save costs and make people be worth the money that they get from the taxpayer'.
So how exactly could King Charles' new look monarchy going forward? Here MailOnline explores those who could feature in the front bench, and those who are likely to miss out.
King Charles - The next monarch, who is set to live at Buckingham Palace
As the new King, Charles will be front-and-centre of the new-look monarchy. Alongside his reported desire to slim-down the size of the family, the biggest immediate change will be his residence.
The former Prince of Wales's official residence has been Clarence House, on The Mall in the City of Westminster, since 2003.
While the Queen's official residence has been Buckingham Palace, she spent much of her time at her favoured Windsor Castle following the death of her beloved Prince Philip.
Since he's 73 y.o. now, he's likely to be King for about 20 to 25 years. Long enough to do lasting damage.

Look at that consistent red nose. Not saying all those exhibiting that trait are alcoholics, but.....
20-25 might be a stretch.
??? Who's to say that he will have the same longevity?? Likely that he will, but nothing is certain.
His entire facial features tend to be a bit on the 'rosy' side. Who knows. I wish him and Britain well. This is going to be a huge transition.
Not so rosy with the outlook. Will almost bet the farm he is going to be a climate change radical, when that is the last thing the west needs now.
In that respect William would be just as bad: (Speech @ the Jubilee)
Good evening everyone. It’s so wonderful to be here with you on this incredible night, and great to see Buckingham Palace turned into an IMAX screen!
As I watch those extraordinary images, it does make me think of all the monumental and pioneering work of so many visionary environmentalists that have gone before.
I’m so proud that my grandfather and my father have been part of those efforts. And I’m in awe of people like the great Sir David Attenborough, who look at the beauty and power of our Earth and then work to celebrate and preserve it..............
............And although those breakthroughs have increased our awareness of the impact humans have on our world, our planet has become more fragile.
Today, in 2022 – as the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee – the pressing need to protect and restore our planet has never been more urgent.
But like her, I am an optimist. Decades of making the case for taking better care of our world has meant that environmental issues are now at the top of the global agenda..................

Prince Harry has arrived at Balmoral - nearly an hour-and-a-half after the death of his grandmother, the Queen, was announced.
Buckingham Palace declared the passing of Britain's longest-serving monarch aged 96 at 6.30pm this evening.
But flight data shows the Duke of Sussex's jet was still in the air at the time, not touching down at the airport until nearly 15 minutes later. He was then seen in the back of a car leaving the site just after 7pm.
He then finally arrived at the Scottish estate at 7.52pm, where he will join other members of the Royal Family in mourning the Queen's death.
Harry headed to Balmoral alone, without his wife Meghan, having previously been due to attend the WellChild Awards in London this evening.
He was expected to make a speech at tonight's awards, which honours the brave deeds of seriously ill children, before he cancelled the appearance.
It is understood that Meghan may have remained in London, but will not attend the WellChild awards. The duchess could potentially join Harry in Scotland at a later date, a source said.

Camilla becomes queen, but without the sovereign’s powers
By The Associated Press
Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 1:40 PM CDT|Updated: 5 hours ago
LONDON (AP) — After seven decades, the United Kingdom has a new woman to call queen.
Charles’ wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will be known as Queen Consort — a title that came with Queen Elizabeth II’s blessing after years of contention, dating back to the days before she even married Prince Charles.
It wasn’t always a given that the 75-year-old Camilla would take the title, even though it gives her none of the sovereign’s powers.
While the wife of a king is traditionally crowned queen, the question of what title Camilla would hold when Charles became king had been a tricky one for many years. That was due to sensitivity about her status as his second wife — and the wave of grief that washed over Britain following the death of his former wife, Princess Diana, in a car crash in 1997.
Charles and the royal household have moved carefully on the matter, mindful of lingering public perceptions of Camilla as the “third person” that ruined the marriage between Charles and the beloved princess.
But over the decades, Camilla has won over large parts of the British public with her discretion, down-to-earth personality and loyalty to her husband.
When Camilla and Charles married in a low-key civil ceremony in 2005, she was in fact the new Princess of Wales — Diana’s title — but she styled herself the Duchess of Cornwall instead.

Royal sources say it is 'unlikely' that Meghan Markle wrote King Charles a letter requesting a one to one meeting after Queen's funeral
Meghan Markle requested 'one-to-one' meeting with King Charles, reporter says
Neil Sean claims 'very good source' told him Markle wrote formal letter to King
But royal insiders say this is 'very unlikely' and would be an 'odd' thing to do
By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline
Published: 11:12 EDT, 20 September 2022 | Updated: 11:12 EDT, 20 September 2022
Prince Charles' decision to go to Balmoral today will weaken ‘very unlikely’ claims made by a royal reporter that Meghan Markle requested a 'one-to-one' meeting with the King after the Queen's funeral.
Neil Sean, an entertainment correspondent who has appeared on NBC News, MSNBC and Access Hollywood, said that he had heard from a 'very good source' that the American actress had sent a letter requesting a private conversation with the monarch. He claims Meghan wants to 'clear the air' amid reports the couple will fly back to the US as soon as they can to see their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one.
But today the King went to mourn his mother in Scotland with Camilla. Charles is known to want to heal his relationship with his son and his wife, even saying how much he loved them in his first address as King, making it ‘very unlikely’ he would ignore such a request if it happened, one source said.
Charles also intervened to ensure Harry could wear military uniform when guarding Her Majesty's coffin in Westminster Hall on Saturday and put the Sussexes at the centre of the Royal Family's mourning of the Queen - including her extraordinary and moving funeral yesterday.
Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes have not commented on the claims, however royal sources told MailOnline that Meghan would be 'very unlikely' to trouble the King as he mourns his mother after yesterday’s funeral and as he grapples with his first days as King.
Another insider said it would be 'odd' for the Duchess to write formally to the King directly for a meeting, given Harry would have a direct path to his father.
The Sussexes are believed to be in Windsor today after the extraordinary state funeral and burial of the Queen yesterday. But they are expected to leave for LA as soon as possible.
'She'd now like before they return back to California to have a one-to-one audience with King Charles III,' Mr Sean said in a video posted to YouTube, that has recorded nearly 300k views.
'That's right—Meghan one-to-one with King Charles. You heard correct.
'It's a very brave move from Meghan herself,' Sean said.

A friend of the king’s told The Daily Beast: “The royals handled the abdication crisis by exiling Edward which meant he and Wallis ultimately came to seem like unimportant, misguided, disloyal, and even treacherous individuals to almost the entirety of the British people. It was a masterful operation in the service of which the Queen Mother, in particular, worked tirelessly.
“The same thing is already happening with Harry and Meghan, and will only gather pace over the next few years under the rule of King Charles. And of course a wayward second son is far less of an existential threat to the fabric of the monarchy than a wayward king.”
"Meghan allegedly treated staff like they were less than. Likely insecure over her position and overcompensating because she feared she wouldn’t be taken seriously within the palace," the royal expert remarked.Sounds like Hillary during her WH years.
A source told the royal expert that Markle was "overly harsh" and got "cross with the servants," while "occasionally shouted at them." She spoke down to them and was "cold."
Book sales about the astrologer Nostradamus have soared since the Queen died, as people have suggested the French prophet predicted her death more than 450 years ago.
Nostradamus has previously been hailed for predicting the Great Fire of London, Hitler’s rise to power and the wars that hit Europe.
Since the Queen’s death on September 8, book sales of Mario Reading’s Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future have risen dramatically.
In the week prior to Her Majesty's death, the book sold just five copies but by the week ending September 17 almost 8,000 copies had been sold pushing it to the top of the paperback charts, The Sunday Times reported.

‘Needy’ Prince Harry ‘clings’ to Meghan Markle, royal expert claims
‘Needy’ Prince Harry ‘clings’ to Meghan Markle, royal expert claims
By Nicki Gostin
October 8, 2022 | 9:05am
Prince Harry “clings” to wife Meghan Markle “like a needy man, like a life raft,” royal biographer Tom Bower tells Page Six exclusively.
The Duchess of Sussex “satisfies all” of the Duke of Sussex’s “requirements,” which he “didn’t get from other girlfriends,” the author of “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” explains.
Bower also claims that Harry, 38, is a “damaged” and “very disturbed” man as a result of childhood trauma — and Markle, 41, allegedly knew just how to win him over.
“He is psychologically harmed both by his mother’s death and the father’s treatment of his mother, and of Harry himself, when he was a child,” the author alleges to us.
Prince Harry’s difficult life — and those of his royal relatives — has been highly publicized for years.
His mother Princess Diana’s unhappy marriage due to King Charles III’s long-term affair with now-wife, Queen Consort Camilla, was well-documented in the press.
The former Princess of Wales’ tragic death in August 1997 — when Harry was just 12 — also captured intense media attention.
The Duke previously opened up about the trauma surrounding his childhood, accusing his father of passing down a “cycle” of “genetic pain and suffering” on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2021.

“And of course, we have the prospect of Harry’s memoirs and a Netflix docudrama.

That is the part I find hard to believe. After all,sitting aside for a moment that he is a handsome man,stinking rich,and reported to be a good guy,the only explanation is he is "P-whipped".
Yet that is also hard to believe, given that females were throwing themselves at him since he was in puberty. Getting laid has NEVER been one of his problems.

Meghan Markle: I was ‘reduced to a bimbo’ while on ‘Deal or No Deal’

Meghan Markle quit her 2006 job as a briefcase girl on “Deal or No Deal” because she felt she was being “reduced to a bimbo.”

Yes, that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, the one married to William, son of the king. So, why was her mother visiting New Jersey ShopRite supermarkets?
To promote her line of party supplies.
As part of her tour around the Garden State, she has been to Aberdeen, Hazlet, Middletown and Shrewsbury.
According to People.com, Carole Middleton visited the stores for the American launch of her business, Party Pieces. The line, Party Pieces Collection, will be featured in 39 Saker ShopRite stores, its first time the items will be available outside the UK.

Over a year after Prince Harry first revealed he was writing a memoir, his publisher announced Thursday that the much-anticipated book, Spare, will arrive in Jan. 2023.
“It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on,” publishers Penguin Random House said of Spare in a synopsis. “For Harry, this is that story at last.”
The publisher also shared Spare’s cover, and announced that Prince Harry himself will read the audiobook version of his “personal and emotionally powerful” story.

Guaranteed Princess Anne has never whined about being a 'spare'. She's made of stronger stuff than her milksop nephew.
Prince Edward didn’t complain either. At least I don’t think he has.
Sophie really impressed me. She strikes me as being very protective of the Queen and the Royal family. A real asset, unlike Meghan.

King Charles felt his mother Queen Elizabeth ‘was cold and aloof’ during ‘lonely’ childhood, author claims
Royal author Christopher Anderson wrote about Queen Elizabeth's heir in his new book, 'The King'
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News
Christopher Andersen believes there’s a reason why King Charles is "one of the most eccentric sovereigns Great Britain has ever had."
The author has written a new book about the monarch, titled "The King: The Life of Charles III." Andersen, who has previously written books about the British royal family, spoke to numerous palace insiders who have made shocking revelations about the 73-year-old.
"So much about Charles you could really trace back to his childhood, which was heartbreakingly lonely," Andersen recently claimed to ETOnline. "Charles has described his relationship with his mother [by saying] that she was cold and aloof, that his father was a bully who hectored him, who made him cry in front of other people, physically bullied him."
"I think it’s very telling that Charles only spent as a boy … two 15-minute periods a day [with his parents]," Andersen alleged. "… When he had a tonsillectomy, when he had a very bad case of the flu, when he fell down the stairs and broke his ankle, when he had an emergency appendectomy at the age of 13, neither his mother nor his father visited him at the hospital."

I wonder if this tale of woe by the author is an attempt to supply cover for another whiny little prince? Sorry to all those enamored of the Royals, while I had utmost respect for Queen Elizabeth II I am beginning to firmly believe the inbred blood lines of the past are coming in to play here.

Harry and Meghan to Receive Kennedy Award for Fighting ‘Structural Racism’ in Royal Family
Peter Caddle 20 Nov 2022
Harry and Meghan are to receive a human rights award for fighting “structural racism” within the Royal Family from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation.
For their efforts in causing chaos within the monarchy, renegade royals Harry and Meghan are to receive a human rights award, with the pair being credited as fighting “structural racism” within the institution.
The announcement has largely been ridiculed online, with a former aide to Margaret Thatcher describing the move as a “disgraceful attack” on the British monarchy.
According to the announcement on the official Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation webiste, the pair are to receive the Ripple of Hope award alongside Bank of America tsar Brian Moynihan and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Justifying the award, the organisation’s president, Kerry Kennedy, said that both Meghan and Harry lived up to her father Robert F. Kennedy’s belief in racial justice with their actions.
“They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn’t have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health,” Kennedy, the divorced spouse of disgraced New York governor Andrew Cuomo, told El Confidencial.
“They knew that if they did this there would be consequences, that they would be ostracized, they would lose their family, their position within this structure, and that people would blame them for it,” she continued. “They have done it anyway because they believed that they could not live with themselves if they did not question this authority. I think they have been heroic in taking this step.”
Meghan and Harry will attend an award ceremony on December 6th, during which they will receive a gong marking their alleged achievements on the issue of racial equality.

Harry and Meghan to Receive Kennedy Award for Fighting ‘Structural Racism’ in Royal Family
Peter Caddle 20 Nov 2022
Harry and Meghan are to receive a human rights award for fighting “structural racism” within the Royal Family from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation.
"During apartheid times, the Commonwealth wanted economic sanctions against the racist regime in South Africa. Many successive British governments disagreed. The Head of the Commonwealth, however, our late Queen, consistently sided with Mandela and the other African leaders in their demands for sanctions.
Further back, during the 1950s, it was she — after being warned by Foreign Office mandarins to keep at arm's length the Left-wing future President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah — who actually went to Accra, the capital, and very publicly danced with the man.
.... When he was Prince of Wales, Charles reached out to immigrant communities in our burgeoning industrial cities long before it occurred to many British politicians to do so. "
How monstrous of this pampered pair Harry and Meghan to accept a major award for saying the Royal Family is racist,
:amen:
How do we know they are not? They cannot marry "commoners" ...

She truly is a lovely woman.
Does anyone know the significance of the yellow ribbons with Queen Elizabeth on them ?
Kate Middleton and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles could be seen wearing a special brooch in tribute to the Queen yesterday at a lavish state banquet.
The two highest-ranking females within The Firm both donned the badge of the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II at a white-tie event on Tuesday evening.
King Charles III held the event in Buckingham Palace to mark the state visit of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Signifying an historic honour awarded to the women due to their senior positions in the Royal Family, the small diamond-encrusted brooch includes an icon of a young Queen Elizabeth II in evening dress wearing the ribbon and star of the Order of the Garter.
It also features a small red enamel Tudor Crown at the top. Both women wore the piece along with its chartreuse yellow ribbon................

Gyles Brandreth, a friend of Prince Philip, made the claims about Her Majesty in an upcoming biography called Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, after the Queen's official death cause was vague
A fascinating royal biography sheds new light on Queen Elizabeth's remarkable stoicism in the last months of her life, how she didn't hesitate to 'fire' her own son – and found comfort after her husband's death by watching Line of Duty.
Written by author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait – which is serialised in The Mail +, as well as in tomorrow's Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday – is littered with fascinating vignettes about our longest-serving but still so enigmatic sovereign.
Mr Brandreth, who occupies a unique position as a friend and biographer of the Royal Family, reveals how the Queen told a lady-in-waiting that she was determined to keep busy as it helped her cope with the loss in April last year of Philip, her husband of 73 years.
In an early symbolic break with the past, Camilla, Queen Consort to King Charles III, has dispensed with the tradition of having ladies-in-waiting and instead appointed a group of five personal assistants who will be known as “Queen’s Companions.”
The announcement Sunday from Buckingham Palace was not a surprise, as the likelihood of such a switch was reported by the British press shortly after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 8.
Historically, British queens have tapped highborn “ladies-in-waiting” to provide company to the monarch and serve as personal assistants and loyal friends. The position dates to the Middle Ages.
But Camilla, the second wife of Charles, has done away with the traditional title and some of its duties in a modernizing move.
Richard Johnson: Meghan said to be miffed about access to royal jewels

Meghan Markle is said to be fuming that she has no access to the royal jewels. At King Charles III’s first state dinner for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Queen Consort Camilla wore a diamond and sapphire tiara that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, while the Princess of Wales, Kate, wore the pearl and diamond tiara that was the favorite crown of the late Princess Diana. Markle is said to feel left out. Meghan is still Duchess of Sussex, but has no right to borrow the royal tiaras and gems the way her rivals do. All Meghan has is a pair of modest pearl and diamond earrings that Queen Elizabeth gave her.

She trashed the Royal Family and yet she still feels 'entitled' to borrow the jewels and tiaras that have been in the family for decades. I think she's fortunate that the Queen gave her some pearl and diamond earrings.
Just go away Markle. Live your Hollywood dream and keep pretending that you are 'entitled' to anything of the Royals. The Brits don't care for you and neither do many Americans. You are garbage.

I would not afford them that trust. I don’t know much about Kate’s upbringing, but William’s father is an enviro-wackjob. **nononono*
William's speech at the Queen's jubilee indicates that he is just as much of an enviro-wackjob if not more so than Charles.

An honorary member of Buckingham Palace has resigned and apologized after a Black charity founder said she was questioned about whether she was really British at a royal function on Tuesday.
The royal guest, Ngozi Fulani, is the CEO of Sistah_Space, an organization that provides specialist services to woman of African and Caribbean heritage affected by abuse.
Fulani was attending a royal function on domestic abuse on Tuesday evening when she said an honorary member of the royal household began a line of questioning that the palace called “unacceptable and deeply regrettable.”
Sistah_Space shared a rough transcript of the conversation on Twitter on Wednesday.
“When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”
“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” Harry narrated behind a snapshot of Markle looking distressed. Another scene shows her sobbing while sitting on a chair.This is true. We didn't see the script for this drama, the rehearsals (no, cry harder!), or how many takes there were.

NOT going to happen. It would guarantee ALL the royal family personal garbage to be exposed in tell-all books,and almost certainly a movie or two. Right now they can be bought off with peanuts and since they are both whores,just a little bit of attention goes a long ways with them.
Right now they are still a part of the Royal Family,but they have no official duties and speak for no one but themselves. I'd say that is about a good of a deal as the actual Royal Family is going to get from those two.
Meagan will eventually get a movie gig that will put HER back in the spotlight as the Princess she thinks she is,and by the time the fame and glamour from that fades away,nobody will care enough about her to waste any column space.
As for Harry,he is nothing more than her bitch. An accessory she allows to hang around because it benefits her at this time.
I wonder what it will take for Charles to wish them well in their new life and pull the royal plug on these two sickos.

They don't need a salary
Cut them off from everything ......titles, pubic funding for security and transportation, access, events (including the coronation) lodging on royal property. Harry and Meagain should be shunned with all the formality the Brits have to offer.
Harry's announced to the world the royal institution and its members are his enemy and he is out to destroy all of it. Charles should at least help Harry be ---- for for once and for all ---- free of it. It's also time for Charles to protect the institution and the rest of his family from future assaults.

‘She’s rich, what is she talking about?’ Harry and Meghan’s lecture on oppression falls flat
December 7, 2022 | Vivek Saxena
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doubled down on their claims of being oppressed during an awards ceremony Tuesday evening.
Appearing at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights foundation’s Ripple of Hope Awards show to reportedly receive an award for fighting alleged racism in the Royal Family, the infamous couple lectured the audience about oppression.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSXVUqdsbKU&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=TMZ
The lecture was delivered slowly and methodologically, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle each speaking one after the other.
“Bobby Kennedy said, ‘Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,'” Prince Harry began, according to the Daily Express.
“The enduring dream of RFK of a just and peaceful world is so much more than a simple hope. It’s a direct ask, a specific challenge, a call to action, a test of individual courage and collective spirit,” Markle said next, continuing the thought.
“And his appeal to humanity is as relevant today as it was in 1966 when he stood before the University of Cape Town, a place we’ve visited and hold close to our hearts. And he delivered a vision for the common good of society. He also said those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance,” she added.
Concluding the lecture, Harry then added, “And as we all face a complete and challenging time in the world, we choose the path of optimism of care for each other and our communities. We understand this honor, not about the culmination of a life’s work, but instead, and in many ways for us, a beginning.”
Their woe-is-me remarks provoked mockery.

That's what happens when one allows British royals to marry American divorcees.
Well, at least Wallis Simpson wasn't a strumpet like this wench.
Matter of opinion, methinks. They were both unmitigated mistakes for the Royal family.
From impact, the wench Meghan is just an blip, and spouse to a nutless- Prince, who now is No. 5 in succession.
Simpson OTOH, brought down an existing monarch to citizen status. So as far as levels of impacts of the mistakes, Simpson wins hands down.
So far. Ms. Sussex has a long way to go, and it's pretty clear she has a vendetta set against the royal family.
If she goes scorched earth against the Royals, I think it will backfire, and Harry won't be safe to set foot in the UK ever again.
Brits under their breaths don't really care for Yanks that much, and a snippy bitch like her will really set them off.

He should consider this a preview of the rest of his life until the woman he's left everything and everyone for will surely train her venom, her victimhood, and her penchant for publicly tearing down close family members squarely on him.
There's no doubt it will happen or that Harry will deserve it.
As for the tea spilled here, it's cold, weak and bitter. Let's listen as Meghan, sitting in an enormous room sheathed in pastel draperies and soft lighting — a halo effect, if you will, for our greatest living saint since Angelina Jolie — talk about having to dim her light, her beauty, her overpowering star wattage, so as not to outshine Kate or the Queen.
Reader, brace yourself: Meghan Markle couldn't wear bold colors in public. Well, not so much couldn't — wouldn't. Meghan is just that much of a humanitarian.
I just couldn't bring myself to watch this. Aside from not having Netflix....these poor maligned people just want their privacy.
Or so I've heard./s
these poor maligned people just want their privacy.They whine about harassment by paparazzi by showing pictures of photogs taking pictures of people who aren't Harry and Meg. Have the paparazzi ever actually bothered the Couple Formerly Known as Royals? I doubt it.
Back to Meghan reenacting her introduction to the queen, performing a theatrically deep curtsy and wiggling her eyebrows mockingly as she laughs and says, in a sickly-sweet fake voice, 'Pleasure to meet you, your majesty.'

She does have a father, and he brought her up on his own for years. Where is that in the documentary? #HarryandMeghanNetflix

It comes ahead of release of second half of Harry & Meghan Netflix docuseries

It is an enchanting image of a happy young family striding confidently toward the future.
The annual Christmas card from the Prince and Princess of Wales would, of course, have been chosen several months ago and follows a familiar theme, whereby the couple offer the public a glimpse of their rapidly growing trio of children – in thanks for the support they receive.
But what a contrast to the picture painted in recent days by Harry and Meghan of a dynasty hampered by the heavy weight of expectation and tradition – and where the men marry not for love, but to 'fit the mould'.
And its irony is lost on no one, coming ahead of the second part of the Sussexes' Netflix documentary tomorrow in which they are set to make a slew of allegations against the Royal Family.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc's NFLX.O documentary series about Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan racked up more viewing time on the streaming service than any other documentary during its first week, the company said on Tuesday.
The first three episodes of "Harry & Meghan" recorded 81.55 million viewing hours after its debut last Thursday, Netflix said in a statement. More than 28 million households watched at least part of the series.
"Harry & Meghan" was the second-most watched English-language series on Netflix globally between Dec. 5 and 11, behind only Addams Family drama "Wednesday." "Harry & Meghan" was the number one English-language series during the week in Britain.
@catfish1957I'd be all in for that show if it followed the Celebrity Deathmatch format.

Harry says William screamed at him as the Queen looked on in new Netflix docuseriesNY Post (https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/prince-harry-says-william-screamed-at-him-as-the-queen-looked-on/)

Prince Harry said it was “terrifying” to have his brother, Prince William, “scream and shout” at him during a meeting about the Sussexes splitting from the royal family.
In the final installment of Harry and Duchess Meghan’s Netflix docuseries, he detailed asking for a “half in, half out” agreement, where he and his wife would have their own jobs but still do some work in support of the Queen.
However, during a family meeting to discuss their options, “it became very clear very quickly that goal was not up for discussion or debate.” ...
“It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father saying things that just simply weren’t true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in,” he said in the show. ...
Harry says survival of the monarchy is 'ingrained' in his brother
Harry reflects on his relationship with his brother Prince William and how it has been affected.
He says: 'The saddest part of it was thie wedge created between myself and my brother so that he's now on the institution's side.
'Part of that, I get. I understand that, right? That's.. that's his inheritance. So to some extent it's already ingrained in him that his responsibility is the survival and continuation of this institution.'
He claims a 'joint statement' from the Palace disputing claims William had 'bullied' Meghan out of the Royal Family was made without his consent.
He says: 'I couldn't believe it. No one had asked me. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that.'
Harry says he told her about the statement which left her in 'floods of tears'.
He says: 'Within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother, and yet for three years, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.'
The couple describe this as the turning point in which they decided: 'There was no other option.'
Harry recalls saying: 'We need to get out of here.'

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte match in maroon for Christmas concert

The royals are spreading Christmas cheer, singing loud for all to hear.
Kate Middleton looked holiday-ready in a maroon coat dress with a matching clutch and pumps as she arrived at Westminster Abbey today for her second annual “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” concert.
And her 7-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, looked every inch her mom’s mini-me in a double-breasted burgundy coat of her own — which she wore with navy tights and shoes, the better to complement brother Prince George’s and father Prince William’s matching dark blue coats and trousers.
The only real difference between the two princes’ looks were their ties: William, 40, opted for a merlot-colored accessory that matched his wife’s look, while 9-year-old George went for a striped navy number.
The Waleses were joined at the Christmas concert by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with Princesses Beatrice and Princess Eugenie (joined by their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank), Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton, and Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton (joined by husband James Matthews), among other extended family members.

It was revealed today that Meghan and Harry will still be invited to the King’s coronation despite the damaging claims they levelled at the royal family in their Netflix documentary, it has been reported by the Daily Telegraph. ...

No,they won't. He is supposed to be worth more than 30 million in trust fund inheritance,AND being a member of the British Royalty (not really,but it is the polite lie everyone has agreed to pretend to believe since he IS related to them via marriage via his slut mother.)
Because of his social position,millionaires and billionaires all over the west will be offering him and his ho free "everything they want" if they will live for free off of them and give their social status a boost.QuoteThen she'll dump his ass,
I doubt it. HOW is she going to do any "better" in a social sense? She was a "B level actress" (I honestly thought she should have been an A list actress based on the series I saw her on),and at MOST she will have ONE movie and it will be based on her life as a Royal who was dumped. After that,she has shot her wad and nobody will hire her for a car dealership opening.
Quoteand I hope they televise Harry's "on his knees" mea culpa on national television.
Maybe this will be aired somewhere,but it won't be in the US or GB. Won't happen here because the wealthy dream of BEING someone like her,and the Royal Family has too much respect and too many followers in GB for this to get produced.QuoteThis isn't going to end like the Wallis Simpson saga. He'll be a REAL Red Headed Step Child, and the world will be laughing at his ass.
I seriously doubt it will happen,and I seriously doubt he would care if it did. Millions of dollars is the best insulation there is. He will never see any shortage of fawning people,especially females,wanting to be seen with him in the hope that some of the fame will rub off.

Hate to tell you, but $30M won't last with thier lifestyles and expenses. Without a ready steady income to supplant, I am guessing they run out in 3-6 years. When you are accustomed to the finest things of life, you pay for them.

That "B" listing will keep her in the game if this falls apart. Even JJ Walker is relevant as a trivia question and hawker of Medicare Services and Reverse Mortgages. The Strumpet could do the same.

Harry recalled seeing a bathroom rubbish bin appearing to stare at him and growing a head, while a toilet turned into a head as well and began talking to him — an incident he described as “the experience of a lifetime”. He also asked the moon to change his life.

Harry said he undertook six missions as a pilot that led to “the taking of human lives,” according to The Telegraph. Harry said he compared eliminating targets like removing “chess pieces” from a board, according to the outlet.
“My number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” Harry wrote. He claimed to have had video cameras mounted on the nose of his helicopter which enabled him to assess his kill count, according to The Telegraph.

Royal family thinks Prince Harry has been ‘kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan’
By Lee Brown
January 10, 2023
Prince Harry’s family believes he’s been “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy” and his wife, Meghan Markle, according to a report.
Harry admitted in his memoir, “Spare,” that as far back as 2019, Prince William, feared his brother “was being ‘brainwashed'” by therapy — sparking the final fight in their tense relationship.
Now a royal source has told The Independent that the family fears it has fully lost him to the cult-like beliefs it clearly blames on his Californian actress wife, Markle.

I didn't realize Meghan was "black" until she and her trained poodle started crying about the racism of the royal family.Funny how bi-racial children of a Black and White parent always claim to be Black and never White :pondering: Waiting for Farkle Markle to whine about their children being unfairly treated by the Royals because they are bi-racial.
Inbreeding always rears it's head somewhere in royal families, looks like William lucked out!

Prince Harry's ghostwriter, JR Moehringer, has defended the memoir by retweeting a quote saying "the line between memory and fact is blurry". ...GB News (https://www.gbnews.uk/royal/prince-harrys-ghostwriter-defends-spare-despite-multiple-inaccuracies-in-best-selling-non-fiction-book/423302)
"There are inadvertent mistakes of those kinds out of the wazoo.” ...
In Spare, Harry writes: "At Eton, while studying, I took a call. I wish I could remember whose voice was at the other end; a courtier's, I believe.
"I recall that it was just before Easter, the weather was bright and warm, light slanting through my window, filled with vivid colours. Your Royal Highness, the Queen Mother has died."
However, news reports at the time explicitly detail how Prince Harry was away skiing with his father and brother in Klosters, Switzerland, when the 101-year-old died in her sleep at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
Pictures also show him returning to the UK from the continent the day after the death. ...

Prince Harry mentioned his private parts over 15 times in memoir ‘Spare’NY Post (https://nypost.com/2023/01/14/prince-harry-mentioned-his-private-parts-over-15-times-in-his-memoir-spare/)

It looks like Prince Harry isn’t shy about talking about his princely package either.
The 38-year-old royal references his manhood more than 15 times in his bestselling new memoir, “Spare.”
He uses the word “penis” eight times in the controversial book, but also uses a lot of euphemisms, Fox News reported Saturday.
He makes mention of his “penis” eight times, his “todger” six times, and refers to his “c–k,” “bespoke c–k cushion” and “down there” once each. ...
He should be apologizing to them for having married the stupid b*tch.
@Kamaji
She may be many things,but stupid isn't one of them.
She’s not smart. She is cunning, but not smart.Conniving or scheming would be my word.
She’s not smart. She is cunning, but not smart.
@Kamaji
I fail to see the difference. Generally speaking,cunning people who are successful in life are people who are highly intelligent,but selfish and place ALL their focus on "Me,me,ME,DAMMIT!"
That just makes them selfish,not stupid.
On the plus side for him, there's the $$. Although the $100M Netflix deal sort of took care of that.
I truly think, that at some point, this man will deeply regret his actions.
@berdie
It will happen immediately after Meagan divorces him and gets at least half of what he owns,plus child support.
That will also be the same day he realizes he no longer has an actual friends because he has burned all his bridges behind him in support of his former wife.
King Charles has ‘no appetite to engage’ with Prince Harry after ‘Spare’

King Charles III is not looking to hold any peace talks with his youngest son, Prince Harry, ......
It may be just a chess play, but I find it to be 100% believable. I have an awful sibling who has used my parents over and over throughout many years, convincing them that if they don't bail her out from her stupid decisions OMG what will happen to her children! I could go on and on. Now my dad is windowed and elderly and at his wit's end -- finally -- he is sceptical but she is still preying on him.

At times it may be better, as Machiavelli wrote, to be feared than loved. Surely Prince Harry was hoping his memoir would strike fear in the hearts at Buckingham Palace. But what he likely didn't foresee?
Becoming a global laughingstock. And, in the process, diminishing his late mother's memory. Suffering crashing approval ratings. Space shuttles fall to earth less swiftly.
Imagine Harry and Meghan's pre-publication fantasies! Surely they imagined the world at their backs, outraged that Harry got the smaller bedroom at Balmoral and that Charles isn't much a hugger, doubtless agitating for the end of the monarchy while applauding Harry and Meghan for bearing such suffering so valiantly. Not since JFK Jr. would America claim its own sweet prince! Meghan would be president someday, Harry sought out by every CEO and disruptor and woke activist on the planet.

Prince Harry scoffs at Elvis Presley's Graceland, suggests interior designer was 'on acid'
In his book, Prince Harry quips that Elvis Presley's interior designer 'must have been on acid' when decorating the Graceland estate
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News
The United States' resident British royal was unimpressed with The King of Rock n' Roll's historic home, according to his recently released memoir.
In his new autobiography, "Spare," Prince Harry described being unimpressed with Graceland, former home of the late Elvis Presley.
"People variously called the house a castle, a mansion, a palace. But it reminded me of the badger sett," Prince Harry wrote. "Dark, claustrophobic. I walked around saying, ‘The King lived here, you say? Really?’"
Elvis lived at Graceland from June 26, 1957, until his death Aug. 16, 1977.
In the book, Prince Harry quipped that whoever picked out the decor of the famous residence must have been on drugs.
Prince Harry recalled, "I stood in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought, ‘The King’s interior designer must have been on acid.’"

Pretty ironic..... questioning someone's else's taste considering his "taste" in skank women.
In a nation struggling with a cost-of-living crisis, the coronation of Britain's King Charles III will be celebrated with pared back extravagance and even a small stray from tradition.
Here's how the three-day celebration will pan out, according to plans revealed by Buckingham Palace on Saturday.
Formal ceremony takes place on May 6
The grand coronation ceremony for King Charles and his wife Camilla will take place on the morning of Saturday, May 6.
It will take place at London's Westminster Abbey and will follow the traditional pageantry used for anointing monarchs during the past 1,000 years.

Apparently, it doesn't occur to him that he comes across as a wildly privileged royal who grew up in palaces, mocking someone else for not being up to his royal standards on home decor.
This guy's lack of self-awareness is astonishing.
@Maj. Bill Martin
Not really. He grew up living a VERY sheltered life,and only got to mingle and play with other royal children. They pretty much had to do this in order to make sure he was protected from any potential kidnapping or murder attempt. None of that was his fault.
On the other hand,by the time you are in your 40's and going bald,you need to man the bleep UP,and be held responsible for what you say and do. He is not a child anymore. He is a privileged multi-millionaire weasel,and it's past time for someone to tell him to "Man the BLEEP up!"
Back to the original premise....
You realize he mocked Elvis as an outsider? A foreigner mocking maybe the biggest beloved cultural American icon of the past 100 years?
That's a lose-lose in anyone's book. This is more than just maturity. He isn't the brightest inbred bulb on the Windsor light fixture.
@catfish1957
Well,you certainly have a right to think anything you want,but Elvis was nothing more than an entertainer that could do ONE thing very well,and that was entertain us before he had his "Hunka,hunka,heart attack".
Well the same could be said about QEII, who held her postion by birthright. Think the folks in the U.K. would get a little testy if I pissed on her tomb at Westminster?

I'd bet money on it,and I am NOT a gambling man.
I would also bet that if Harry were to stroke out tomorrow that the Royal Family might have to hire mourners to attend his funeral.
I just don't see how there is ANY way that boy can recover his popularity after Meagan entered the picture,and it doesn't have a single damn thing to do with racism.

Eugenie, 32, announced her pregnancy on social media to a flow of congratulatory comments.

Andrew also shares a 31-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Sometimes it feels like a slow goodbye to the British Monarchy. I hope Charles and William are up to the task of keeping it together.
Australia will remove the British monarch from its banknotes, replacing the late Queen Elizabeth II's image on its $5 note with a design honouring Indigenous culture, the central bank said Thursday.
The decision to leave her successor King Charles III off the $5 note means no monarch would remain on Australia's paper currency.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said it would consult Indigenous people on a new design that "honours the culture and history of the First Australians".
Queen Elizabeth's death on September 8 last year was marked by public mourning in Australia, but some Indigenous groups also protested against the destructive impact of colonial Britain, calling for the abolition of the monarchy.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy, a democracy with King Charles III as its head of state. A referendum proposing a switch to a republic was narrowly defeated in 1999.

Have they withdrawn all of the old notes, shredded them, and pretended that they never existed?
No, they have not. They are therefore not erasing history. They are continuing to make their own new history.
Utter baloney.
Unless collected and withdrawn from circulation, you don't think the Federal Reserve/Mint doesn't destroy our old paper money?
Almost sounds like you are advocating for the Harriet Tubman $20 note. Is that your idea of new history? Just wait until MLK and who knows maybe even George Floyd supplants Washington and Jefferson on the $1 and $2 bills. Andy Jackson's already going to bite the dust. Who is next?
Do a little research first.
Wow. Relax Francis. All they are doing is issuing new bank notes.
Sorry @Kamaji. Just preparing for life without $20 bills. I will refuse them at the bank. 2-$10's will do fine
Fair enough, but currencies change.

Or you could re-think the aussie aspects of indigenous peoples. There are several examples of where Indians were used on our coinage and paper money.
The main thing I was trying to highlight that unlike the U.S., which never as a nation never was under the rule of the King/Queen of U.K. While Austrailia OTOH, is still technically a constitutional monarchy.
That said, is the omission of Charles III a woke gesture, or a statement of intent. Of course that is for another discussion.

Prince Harry could be whisked in and out of Britain for a 48-hour appearance at King Charles’s Coronation without his wife Meghan, sources said last night.
It was suggested that they might accept the invitation if they were given a prominent pew and an undertaking that Harry would not lose his Royal titles.

The Queen Consort Camilla will wear Queen Mary's Crown at King Charles's coronation.
The crown has been removed from display at the Tower of London for modification work ahead of the ceremony in May.
This is the first time in almost three centuries that an existing crown will be used for the coronation of a consort instead of a new commission being made.
Camilla is said to have made the decision to where the Crown of Queen Mary in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.
The crown was originally commissioned for the coronation of Mary of Teck as Queen Consort at the coronation of King George V, the present monarch's great-grandfather, in 1911.

Prince Andrew faces eviction from Windsor as King Charles slashes income: report
By Nika Shakhnazarova
February 22, 2023
Prince Andrew is facing a fresh eviction notice from his residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle as King Charles moves to slash his income, according to reports.
The disgraced royal, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was last month given the boot from Buckingham Palace by his brother.
Now, it seems as though Andrew’s property portfolio is rapidly shrinking as King Charles looks to cut Andrew’s royal funding in a bid to have a “slimmed-down” monarchy, the Times reports.
This means come April, the Duke of York’s cushy $300,000-a-year income could be slashed as a result of the Privy Purse fund’s overall cuts.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are now officially the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The titles were announced by King Charles III, one day after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, but they had not been made official until now.
The announcement in The Gazette, the country’s official public record, said, "In accordance with the direction of HIS MAJESTY THE KING Letters Patent have passed the Great Seal of the Realm, dated the 13th February 2023 for creating His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cornwall Rothesay and Cambridge, Earl of Carrick and Strathearn, Baron of Renfrew, Baron Carrickfergus, K.G., K.T., Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, PRINCE OF WALES and EARL OF CHESTER."
The Letters of Patent are, according to the Royal Collection Trust, "an open document from the Sovereign, which can be used to express the Sovereign’s will, for example to confer an office or create a new peerage."

Prince Harry to unpack struggles with ‘trauma expert’ in livestreamed talk
NY Post, Feb 27, 2023
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fp-0ADzWcAAJgOG?format=jpg&name=small)
Prince Harry is set to unpack his experiences with a controversial trauma expert on Saturday, during a virtual event in which attendees can submit questions for the former royal to answer.
Harry, whose memoir “Spare” topped bestseller charts, will join Canadian doctor and author Gabor Maté for an “intimate conversation,” to which royal fans can purchase tickers for $33.99, publisher Random House said in a statement about the event.
In an email to Postmedia, Maté, a bestselling author whose books have been published in over 30 languages, said their conversation would be about the impact of emotional loss and the importance of personal healing.
“In ‘Spare,’ Prince Harry is very open about his mental-health challenges, as I have been about my own in my books. Such a public conversation, I hope, will help encourage more openness around mental health and contribute to remove the stigma around what we call mental illness,” Maté said.

“In ‘Spare,’ Prince Harry is very open about his mental-health challenges, as I have been about my own in my books. Such a public conversation, I hope, will help encourage more openness around mental health and contribute to remove the stigma around what we call mental illness,” Maté said.

Prince Harry to unpack struggles with ‘trauma expert’ in livestreamed talk

Prince Harry is set to unpack his experiences with a controversial trauma expert on Saturday, during a virtual event in which attendees can submit questions for the former royal to answer.

Pretty certain that inheritance of the crown follows blood relations, so William will inherit at the time of Charles' death, not Camilla.
@Kamaji
I wonder what a DNA test would do to that picture?
When George VI became King his wife, (the Queen Mother), became Queen, consort of King George VI. She was called Queen Elizabeth. ... As was tradition.
George V's wife was also Queen Mary, consort of King George, called Queen Mary (Elizabeth II grandmother.
I believe Elizabeth II wanted to make it clear that Camilla would also be called Queen, as was tradition. Camilla is consort of King Charles, Queen Camilla. That, in no way, gives her any authority over the continuation of the monarchy. When Charles dies, William (or his heir becomes King).
It certainly wouldn’t show that Camilla is a descendant of Charles, and that is all that is necessary to answer must’s question.
So if Camilla becomes Queen, will she elevate her children?
Does anyone here have a copy of Burke’s Peerage?
I lost mine around the turn of the century.

@Gefn FWIW, I don't think Camilla ever becomes queen in her own right, she has no royal blood. And her children cannot enter the line of succession to the throne because they are not issue of her marriage to Charles.
More: https://www.burkespeerage.com/royalFamily_UnitedKingdom.php
No. She’s not descended from the royal line - I.e., Charles - and cannot bequeath the status of royal to anyone who is not a blood relation of Charles.
But they did give out knighthoods on the Queen’ birthday and New Years Honours lists. I know King Charles did this years honours. I know like Elton John and Paul McCartney are Sirs.
I need coffee. Not 100 percent awake
@Kamaji
Yes, but the question is who has the power to create those offices. For the most part, I believe that offices like that are now created by Parliament, even if publicly handed out by the king or queen.
That is quite different from matters of succession, which are very carefully laid out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne
Bottom line is this: there is probably some fishmonger's son or daughter out there would stands closer in line to the throne than Camilla ever will.
@Kamaji
I think ALL Royal famalies should require mandatory DNA testing to be made public before handing out royal titles.
Talk about something that would take ALL the "wind out the sails" of some people who are entirely too impressed with their own station in life!
@Kamaji
:shrug:
@Kamaji
No royal blood = no royal title
No, a quick bill in Parliament to include the individual in the line as if he/she had been in fact born into the line.
So all your proposal would do is to embarrass the heck out of everyone and provide salacious gossip to those people who have too few brains, too little money, and too much time to actually be value-add to human civilization.
Why not let the royal family be the determinant of who is, and who is not, a member of the royal family and in the line of succession, in consultation with the prime minister and cabinet?
@Kamaji
Because DNA tests,in addition to determining family lines,would let a lot of hot air out of a lot of hot air "baloons".
It was so much easier when claims to the throne could be settled in manly fashion at places like St. Albans or Bosworth field.
In other words, you prefer embarrassment and damage to the sovereignty of a country over leaving those matters to be resolved in private by those best placed to resolve them.
Why not simply do the honest thing and advocate for removing all inherited heads of state and going with strictly elected heads of state?

JUST IN - King Charles is "evicting Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage, leaving them without a UK home - and offering the property to Prince Andrew" — Daily Mail
I wonder if Harry's still waiting for that apology :pondering:
Charles, William and their advisors are setting this up perfectly.He can be known as The Dumbass Formerly Known As Prince or He Whose Balls Are Kept In A Jar.
They will make no special accommodations or arrangements to sit down with Harry prior to the coronation. No kissing of his butt, no apologies to either he or Meghan. So either Harry (with or without Meghan) comes to the coronation and does the required kneeling with no special treatment, or he doesn't.
And if he doesn't come, my guess is that he'll get stripped of his dukedom. He'll keep the Earldom and Barony, but lose the big title. As will she.

For being considered the Lifetime Champion of the Upperclassmen Twit of the Year contest, Charles is acting with some decisiveness. Wouldn't have thunk it, but he's actually doing a creditable job of protecting the monarchy.

THAT will leave a mark!
Pubs will be allowed to stay open until 1am on King Charles's coronation weekend.
People will be able to enjoy an "extra pint or two" between Friday 5 May and Sunday 7 May, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said.
Extending closing time for two hours beyond the normal 11pm was backed by 77% of the public who took part in a month-long consultation.

The Sussexes could be given access to Prince Andrew's old suite of rooms
It comes as Andrew is due to move out of the Royal Lodge for Prince William
By Kate Mansey and Charlotte Griffiths for The Mail on Sunday

King Charles is set to offer Harry and Meghan an olive branch by allowing them to stay at Buckingham Palace when they visit Britain in the future, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to give up the keys to their previous British home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, later this year. But they may be offered Prince Andrew's old suite in the Palace – where he once entertained the model Caprice and disgraced socialite Ghisaline Maxwell – whenever they need it.

Prince Harry says psychedelics are ‘fundamental’ part of his life
By Tamantha Ryan and Nicki Gostin
March 4, 2023
Prince Harry recently spoke openly about his recreational use of psychedelics.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté Saturday that drugs have helped him deal with his past traumas.
“It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters — these layers of filters — it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,” he shared.
“I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me,” Harry added.

No argument there. He pretty clearly has no filter remaining at all.
You know, all this crap about this "therapy" and all that b.s.... There's nothing wrong with getting therapy if you need it, but it is his apparent need to make public everything most people would say privately in therapy that is so off-putting.

I have a feeling that getting the louse to do his duty and bend the knee as a duke of the realm is worth far more than any public giggling over his admission of using psychedelic drugs. Furthermore, while it might be a little embarrassing, it's no longer that embarrassing in the general culture, and probably doesn't really change many opinions about the royal family.

King Charles offers Meghan Markle, Prince Harry ‘lifeline' following eviction 'blowback': expert
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were evicted from Frogmore Cottage shortly after Harry's tell-all 'Spare' was published
By Stephanie Nolasco , Ashley Papa | Fox News
King Charles III may have given Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the boot from Frogmore Cottage, but he could have an offer the couple won't refuse.
The monarch could give the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the keys to an apartment in Buckingham Palace as their U.K. residence when they visit, the Independent reported. According to the outlet, the suite of rooms that the king may offer to the couple previously belonged to Prince Andrew.
Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital that it is likely Charles, 74, would offer an olive branch to his son leading up to the coronation. The king will be crowned on May 6 at London’s Westminster Abbey.

It eliminates the "we are concerned about our security" excuse they might otherwise have used if they were forced to find their own lodging.
I think this is all about boxing them into attending the coronation without having the apology or any of their other demands met. Declining the invitatiin at this point may have repercussions they simply don't want.
@Kamaji
Ok,I am going to post a few things here that may be unpopular for many posters on TBR.
Drugs,even psychodelic drugs are NOT generally bad or even dangerous. The only dangerous drugs I am aware of are the ones like Heroin.
I took every drug known to mankind from the late late 60's to the mid-70's,and did it often. Looking back on it now,I SUSPECT the reason I started to take them was because one day I was humping the bush in Laos and Cambodia loaded down with some form of automatic rifle,grenades,mines,etc,etc,etc,and a week later I am getting off an airliner in Ca,looking around and wondering "WTF is going on here?""
To give you some idea of how out of touch with the typical American and American society at that time,I had a layover in DC before I could catch a plane close to home,so I caught a cab to downtown DC,just to kill time looking around. So there I was,in downtown DC during rush hour,standing on a corner in my dress greens,and carrying a Russian sniper rifle in one hand,and a fifth of whisky in the other. And taking ocassional drinks from the bottle.
I had not the slightest clue I was doing anything wrong,and just thinking the people walking by were staring at me because I was wearing a Green Beret. Then I had a DC cop come up and politely ask me if he could look at the rifle. I said "Sure!",and handed it to him. He pulled back the bolt to make sure it wasn't loaded,smiled at me,and welcomed me "home" before walking away.
I did this for a while,and then caught a taxi back to the airport in time to catch my flight home. All the while thinking nothing of it. It took a couple of years for it to occur to me why people were staring at me,and to realize I was damn lucky to not have been arrested. For drinking whisky on the street,if nothing else.
SF were the "high speed boys of VN". At times those of us in SOG had a casuality rate of over 50 percent and had to temporarily halt missions until we could get some more volunteers in and train them up. You would see recon teams with a SGT E-5 team leader,and a Captain carrying the radio and taking orders from the E-5.
I eventually "evened out" and sobered up. Don't even drink beer anymore,and haven't for decades.
Don't blame Harry's brain farts and marriage on drugs. Blame them on Harry. It's people like him that give drugs such a bad name.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised palace aides with their "highly ironic" decision to give their two children royal titles this weekThey don't have that authority. I may as well dub myself Queen of the Universe.
There is a new gravitas to the way she dresses. It is nothing to do with a rivalry with Meghan; dear God, all you must do to win that battle is to own an iron and a mirror.

Prince Harry faces a fight to keep his US visa application secret today as campaigners demanded its release to see if he admitted his drug use before emigrating to California with Meghan Markle in 2020, MailOnline can reveal.
A conservative think tank is in the middle of a battle with Washington DC officials who are staunchly refusing to publish any details - including any texts or emails - citing the Duke of Sussex's 'privacy'.
In Spare and the TV blitz that followed, Harry admitted taking cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms. He said marijuana and psychedelics 'really helped' with his 'trauma' while cocaine was more a 'social thing'.
The Heritage Foundation says his visa application must now be released so the American taxpayer can understand whether Harry declared his drug use. ... Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11884759/So-DID-Prince-Harry-visa-despite-drug-use-Campaigners-demand-know.html)
Why the hell does anyone care? It's not like he is going to be stealing car batteries to sell to provide him with the cash to buy his drugs.
Since Queen Elizabeth died, I've had some time to sit and think about things.
Charles and Camilla have a sorted past. They both just don't exude the qualities of a King and Queen (consort).
The Prince and Princess of Wales are next in line. Yes Kate is beautiful and is always impeccably dressed, and her children are heir to the throne.
However .... the traditions are old; William and Charles are into climate change and meanwhile people in Britain are suffering.
Then's there's Harry and Markle two misfits.
Also, you are supposed to bow and curtsy to these people? Are the rest of the Brits subservient to the Royals?? It's 2023 folks.
Nope. I've truly lost interest.

Meghan Markle sister's defamation lawsuit tossed by federal judge
Samantha Markle sued Meghan Markle for $75k after Oprah interview with Prince Harry
By Emily Trainham | Fox News
Meghan Markle has won the defamation lawsuit her estranged sister Samantha Markle filed against her in 2021.
On Thursday, a judge threw out Samantha's case, saying that Meghan wasn't guilty because every statement she made that Samantha took issue with was an obvious opinion and therefore didn't meet the criteria for defamation.
One part of the lawsuit concerned the 2020 book "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family," written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. The book was clearly released as an unauthorized biography, but Samantha claimed Meghan "contributed false information to the book through her agent and press secretary," according to court documents.
The judge dismissed this claim with prejudice because Meghan did not write the book.

Royal Snub? Joe Biden Expected to Turn Down Invitation to Coronation of King Charles III: Reports
Kurt Zindulka 1 Apr 2023
President Joe Biden will reportedly not attend the coronation of King Charles III next month, in a potentially significant snub to the ‘special relationship’ between America and Britain.
President Biden, 80, is “not expected” to be among the dozens of heads of state to attend the official coronation ceremony for King Charles on May 6th at Westminster Abbey in London.
Washington insiders, speaking to The Daily Telegraph, noted that Biden will be travelling to Northern Ireland this month to attend the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday peace agreement and that due to his age, it is unlikely to cross the pond again less than a month later.
Pointing to the president’s advanced age, a source described as close to the Biden administration told the British broadsheet that “foreign travel takes a fair amount out of him”.
“They try to restrict it to the essentials, and they may just think twice about crossing the Atlantic twice in quick succession. They may think that he came to the funeral, and that’s kind of enough.”

King Charles’s Coronation Balcony Lineup Won’t Include Harry and Bitter Meghan Markle
Gateway Pundit, Apr 6, 2023
The Daily Mail reported:
King Charles and Camilla will celebrate their coronation on the Buckingham Palace balcony without Harry and Meghan if they decide to attend, it was revealed today.
His Majesty is said to want to show the world how he is slimming down Britain’s monarchy – and will reward his most loyal family members including William, Kate and their three children.
But the Sussexes, who are yet to RSVP, and Prince Andrew will not be among them. Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank and Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will also miss out.
A source told The Mirror: ‘The King has been very clear who he wants to represent the monarchy. There is little room for sentiment, this is a State occasion, not a family occasion and it is right that only the working members of the family are there at the big public moment.’
After returning to Buckingham Palace from Westminster Abbey in the Gold State coach, Charles and Camilla will stand on the balcony to wave to crowds and watch a RAF flypast.
They will be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children – Prince George, nine; Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four. Edward and Sophie, the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, will be there. What did they expect?

To me, that appears to be the key distinction that the Markels don't understand/accept in all of this. They believe that the "family" aspect of their relationships should override the business/state aspect of this, and it doesn't. He's like the boss' kid in a company who believes he shouldn't be held to the same work standards as everyone else.
Prince Harry will attend the coronation of his father, King Charles III — but Meghan Markle will not be by his side.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Wednesday that the Duke of Sussex will be at the crowning ceremony of the King and Queen Camilla at London's Westminster Abbey on May 6. "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet," they said in the statement.
Prince Harry, 38, wanted to be at the service to support his father at this important moment in his life, a friend tells PEOPLE.
Prince Harry to Attend King Charles and Queen Camilla's Coronation Without Meghan Markle

But the Duchess will stay home at the couple's residence in Montecito with one-year-old Lilibet and Archie, whose fourth birthday is on the same day as the event.The kid's grandfather is the freaking king. I think that takes precedence over a 4th birthday he won't remember. But I doubt the lovely Meg has any interest in the coronation anyway, she's been so persecuted and all.
The couple's friend Omid Scobie said Archie's birthday 'played a factor in the couple's decision' and he expected it would be a 'fairly quick trip to the UK' for Harry.

Has the Royal Family been able to find famous musicians or groups to perform at the Coronation? I heard Elton John and the Spice Girls, both, declined the invite.
Johnny (Rotten) Lydon may still be available to belt out the Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen".

It was in our small living room after church on a Sunday and I was sitting in a circle with several other children. But was it on my actual birthday? I have no clue. At that age, not having a party on the actual day isn't a big deal. Have it anytime.
I suspect that the Queen's funeral was a big eye-opener to Meghan. People in line for days to pay their respects to QE vs the much lower opinion of the people to her and Harry. The two of them have so damaged their brand in the UK (and world-wide, IMO), and she just doesn't have it in her to deal with that face to face, much less show some humility.
Gutfeld said it well the other night. Meghan married Harry for relevance, then was surprised when she finally realized that the only way he would ever wear a crown was if he had his birthday party at Burger King.

Fascinating story by @victoria_ward. The question is, why does the Sussex camp want to leak all this? Is it Meghan trying to prevent an outbreak of peace between Harry and his father? And intriguing that they should resort to the sort of briefing that they condemned in others.
The Duchess of Sussex expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family in a letter to the King, The Telegraph can reveal.
https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1649516723903528961
She is believed to have brought up her poor mental health while participating as a working royal, having claimed in the interview that she reached the point of feeling suicidal but was told by palace aides she was not allowed to seek professional help.She admits she's nuts, and apparently that means we all have to give extra weight to everything she says. Shut up.

...hmmm I wonder if she has seeked help since she's left the Royal family and moved to CA??That's the land of fruits and nuts. I bet there's a therapist on every corner, so she really has no excuse.
Why Meghan isn't coming to the Coronation revealed: Duchess of Sussex 'was unhappy that letter to her from King Charles did not answer her complaints that royal neglect left her suicidal and how bullying probe had been launched against her'
The Duchess' letter was reportedly sent in reply to one from King Charles himself
Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in 2021 that she was left feeling suicidal as a royal

Meghan Markle was left upset after a letter from King Charles did not address her belief that neglect led to her feeling suicidal or concerns over the launch of a bullying probe into her, it was claimed last night.
The Duchess of Sussex wrote to King Charles about the issues, as well as about unconscious bias in the Royal family after her bombshell Oprah interview, it has been claimed.
She is believed to have brought up her poor mental health while participating as a working royal, having claimed in the interview that she reached the point of feeling suicidal but was told by palace aides she was not allowed to seek professional help.
There was also said to be disappointment that the letter from Charles did not address her concerns about the bullying probe which was launched into her behaviour towards staff.
These feelings may have played a part in the Duchess' decision to remain in California while Prince Harry attends the coronation, The Telegraph reports.

She enjoys playing the victim.

By now Harry must realize that his disloyalty to his family has consequences and his marriage to the gold digger was a huge mistake. He has two children though and I hope they bring him a lot of happiness.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Reportedly 'Leading Separate Lives' As She's Caught Pulling Away From Him On Kiss Cam—Yikes!https://www.shefinds.com/collections/meghan-markle-prince-harry-reportedly-leading-separate-lives/
April 30, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
It looks like there may be trouble in paradise for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex…
Rumors are swirling that Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, are allegedly leading “separate lives” and spending less time together, with a royal insider reportedly confirming this to GB News.
On top of that, fans think Markle seemingly pulled away from her husband when they were caught on the ‘Kiss Cam’ at a Lakers game last week. We’ll break down the Sussexes’ reported issues as King Charles‘ May 6th coronation approaches (Harry is supposed to attend!)
Royal commentator Celia Walden sat down with GB News last week, and dished that the Archetypes podcaster and Spare author are "pursuing different agendas." Warden added that the married couple are "breaking apart and leading separate lives." ...
A man has been arrested outside Buckingham Palace after throwing what is suspected to be shotgun cartridges into palace grounds, police have said.
A precautionary controlled explosion was carried out outside the palace, with the man held on suspicion of the possession of an offensive weapon, Metropolitan Police said.
I have to agree. I'm not a fan of Camilla, nor Charles -- both adulterers. Rumors are that William has been having an affair.
He’d be a blasted idiot to do that. I hope the leaf falls far from that tree. I don’t care much for his father or step-mother.
The rumor of William's affair was debunked more than a year ago @debrawiest
I sure hope so, for his lovely family’s sake.

Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister predicts separation from Harry: ‘They are at an impasse’
By Jesse O’Neill
May 4, 2023
Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister thinks the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are on the outs — and alleges her reluctant royal relative is trying to upstage King Charles III’s Saturday coronation.
Samantha Markle, 58, based her breakup claim on Meghan’s apparent rebuke of a kiss-camera smooch from Harry when the pair showed up at a Los Angeles Lakers game last month — spilling the gossip during an interview with GBNews released Tuesday.
“It’s so different and so inconsistent with her character,” Samantha told the outlet. “Previously in all the photographs she was pining over him, putting her hands all over him, grabbing his hands, grabbing his back.
“So what’s up with this? Is this a symbol of separation? This is different. This is seemingly a statement on her part that she’s not all that touchy feely right now.
“It’s kind of sad. It’s telling the rest of the world, all of us, that they are at an impasse and maybe they’re making decisions to part,” said Samantha, who has not had a relationship with Markle, 41, since 2014, according to The Irish Mirror. The two share the same father, Thomas Markle.

“It was out of character for the queen to use such a word as ‘evil’ to describe Meghan, but she saw straight through her.
This woman dealt in her career from Churchill to this wench. I think over those 75 years she built up a good repitorie of reading people pretty well, and recognized the Farkle Factor pretty quicky.

Meghan and Harry's plan to destroy the British monarchy didn't count on this happening
Meghan and Harry have in effect declared war on the royals, starting with the nasty Oprah interview in 2021
By Nile Gardiner | Fox News
After months of uncertainty, Prince Harry eventually decided to attend the coronation of his father, King Charles III, in Westminster Abbey on May 6. Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, will not be there, however. The Duchess of Sussex has decided to stay in Montecito, California, while the Duke travels to London.
Harry’s visit across the Atlantic is expected to be brief and takes place amid increasing acrimony with his brother, Prince William, and his wife, the Princess of Wales. Reports in London suggest that many members of the royal family will be keeping their distance from the increasingly toxic Harry, following his salvo of attacks against the royals in his highly controversial memoir, "Spare."
Both Harry and Meghan have become increasingly unpopular in the United Kingdom since the release of "Spare" and their hugely hyped Netflix documentary, which debuted last November. They have, in fact, become two of the most disliked celebrity figures in the U.K. today. Their standing has also taken a major hit stateside, where the satirical show "South Park" delivered a devastating takedown of the royal couple in a recent episode.
Undoubtedly a key reason for Meghan’s decision not to attend the coronation was fear of being booed on the streets of London, a scene that would be immensely damaging to her carefully cultivated brand.
Another factor was the humiliation of being relegated to second-tier status as "non-working royals," which denies them the right to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the coronation celebrations.

Monarchy’s future ‘really well set’ as British royals have ‘100 year plan’ for survival: Royal expert
Wait.... you mean KC3 doesn't think and beleive all this envirowhacko business he spouts is true and we aren't doomed?
That's the really the big news.
??? Well, that remains to be seen. William, his son is also an envirowhacko. Maybe the UK is awake?
Two houses, each alike in indignity. For there can be no dignity when the world knows your business because your exiled brother and his American wife are complaining about you to the media. The Meghan and Harry saga is what Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth II would have recognized as "the return of the repressed." For decades, the late queen feared a return of "Uncle David," known to the world as Edward VIII, and his wife, the erstwhile Wallis Simpson of Baltimore. Elizabeth II lived long enough to see her nightmare come true, with Prince Harry bringing some second-son energy to the role of entitled manchild and Meghan Markle adding a touch of the Norma Desmond as she clings to the biggest role of her life (though she did not attend this weekend’s coronation).Full story at Free Beacon (https://freebeacon.com/culture/battle-royale/)
History repeats as farce with a Netflix contract. Edward and Wallis were tabloid material at the time. The difference was that while the British media obliged Buckingham Palace by suppressing the story of the king’s romance with a divorcée, the American media had fun. This pattern endured after 1945. While the royals did their best to pretend that Edward and Wallis did not exist, Edward and Wallis sold England by the pound in the United States. Prince Harry may be too slow to see it, but in escaping The Firm, he has merely sidestepped into another family business. ...
Was Edward a posh twit with good intentions, or was he a traitor by choice? Did he serve his country by trying to avert another world war, or did he betray it in its hour of peril? The evidence that Edward was a posh twit is massive and incontrovertible. The evidence about his motives will always be partial. It is also ambiguous, because securing peace between Britain and Germany would almost inevitably have returned him and Wallis to Britain and the throne. ...
George, a decent chap who struggled with a stutter and smoked himself to death, became a hero for sticking it out under the bombs. Edward was parked for the duration in the Bahamas, where he continued to hang out with Nazi sympathizers, griped about living in a "third-class British colony," and engaged in dodgy schemes for self-enrichment. He felt "acute pain" at his demotion and became an acute pain in the neck.
Once, both brothers were just posh twits with good intentions. Today, George is the patriot king and Edward the Nazi-loving traitor. This polarized image is pretty accurate. Wallis loved the Nazis more, but Edward, like many posh English twits at the time, valued Adolf Hitler as a potential ally in protecting the British Empire from the Bolsheviks and the Jews. He was making pro-Hitler statements in public as early as 1935. When Edward was pushed off the throne in 1936, a secret British civil service memo reported that Hitler was "very distressed at the turn that affairs had taken in this country, since he had looked upon the late King as a man after his own heart, and one who understood the Führerprinzip." ...
Prince Andrew 'is refusing to budge' from Royal Lodge as he demands a summit with King Charles — and a bit of dignity from his brother
Prince Andrew is refusing to move out of his £30m home Royal Lodge in Windsor
King Charles feels Duke should leave the home and move into Frogmore Cottage
It is understood Royal Lodge is earmarked for Prince William and his family
By Daphne Barak For The Mail On Sunday
Published: 16:42 EDT, 13 May 2023 | Updated: 16:45 EDT, 13 May 2023
Prince Andrew will not move out of his £30 million home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, putting him on collision course with King Charles.
The Duke of York is digging his heels in and refusing to vacate the 30-room mansion, his home for more than 20 years.
Charles has let it be known that Andrew should leave the house, where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and downsize to Prince Harry’s former home, Frogmore Cottage.
It is widely understood that Royal Lodge, once occupied by the Queen Mother, has been earmarked for Prince William and his family.
As first revealed in The Mail on Sunday, the King is cutting the annual £250,000 subsidy that the late Queen gave to Andrew – meaning he can no longer afford the upkeep for the mansion.

This is quite a predicament for King Charles and how selfish of Andrew. I think Charles has been more than generous towards his brother in spite of his scandals.
I don't know British law, but there has to be a way to oust him. Between Harry and Andrew, Charles has a handful.
Kate Middleton added some star power to the opening of Saturday’s Eurovision Song Contest.
During the televised broadcast for the annual music competition that aired on BBC One and Peacock, the Princess of Wales performed piano as part of a pre-recorded introduction ahead of the event’s final performances. She performed a bit of the Kalush Orchestra song “Stefania,” which was the Ukrainian group’s winning entry at last year’s Eurovision. Other musicians to appear at various points in the segment included Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ms Banks and Joss Stone.
Footage of the performance was shared on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales. “A #Eurovision surprise,” the post’s caption read. “A pleasure to join @kalush.official in a special performance of last year’s winning @eurovision entry. Enjoy the show, Liverpool.”

I thought this when the story first broke. It, imho, was a publicity stunt using a dead mother's death. That is shameful. If it had been true why would Harry have it allowed to continue (considering his past) and put not only himself but his wife, mother-in-law and bystanders at risk? What's the worst that could happen? They would get their picture taken. Oh, the humanity!
I hate to a complete cynic...but I'm sure St. Meg of Markle is basking in the publicity.

Harry and Meghan demand photo agency give them footage of NYC ‘chase’
By Natalie O'Neill
May 18, 2023 6:50pm
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demanded that a photo agency hand over footage snapped by paparazzi during their high-profile “chase” in New York City — but the firm gave them the royal snub, lawyers said Thursday.
The embattled Duke and Duchess — who described their run-in with Big Apple photographers Tuesday as “near-catastrophic” — insisted they need the images to improve their own security, according to TMZ.
“We hereby demand that Backgrid [photo agency] immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours,” a letter from their lawyers proclaimed Wednesday.
But attorneys for the celebrity photo agency refused, firing back that the royals can’t play by the king’s rules here in the states.
“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid’s legal team responded.
“Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago. We stand by our founding fathers,” it states.

They are their own worst enemies.
Proves what I've always believed: Harry and Meghan genuinely think if they keep talking and oversharing, they'll convince others of their side. "Now I get it! You WERE right!"
But all they're really doing is shredding their reputations, burning bridges, and turning everyone off.
I love the background of this photo of their arrival. Quite the royal treatment. :laugh:

Harry & Meghan’s NYC ‘car chase’ happened because they were too cheap to pay for hotel: source
By Emily Smith
May 19, 2023
Harry and Meghan’s “near-catastrophic car chase” happened because they were too cheap to pay for a hotel, sources have revealed.
The entitled couple allegedly demanded the Carlyle — the late Princess Diana’s favorite hotel — give them a discounted room for their New York City visit this week.
According to law enforcement sources, bosses at the Carlyle refused the hefty discount, so the embattled pair instead stayed at a friend’s house on the Upper East Side.
But when the paparazzi began following them Tuesday night from the Ziegfeld Theater — in what their spokesperson claimed was a “relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours” — the duo didn’t want to lead the photographers back to their friend’s home and reveal where they were staying.

Photo Company Gives Harry And Meghan The Most American Response Ever To Their Demand For Pictures

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly failed to obtain images from Tuesday’s “near catastrophic” paparazzi incident from photo agency Backgrid.
The legal team representing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex demanded that Backgrid “immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films” of the events in New York, according to TMZ.
Backgrid clearly felt the former royals were misinformed about the American way of handling such situations, and gave them a nudge in the right direction.
“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid wrote in a letter to Harry and Markle, per TMZ.
https://twitter.com/jomilleweb/status/1658932841424756738
There is no legal basis for the demand-letter, yet it was reportedly sent in hopes Backgrid would willingly comply. The company didn’t hold back when responding to the demands set forth by Markle and Harry’s lawyers.
“Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago,” they wrote.
“We stand by our founding fathers,” Backgrid wrote, in defiance of their demands exactly how the Founders would’ve wanted.

Prince Harry loses legal challenge to pay for police protection in UK
By Snejana Farberov
May 23, 2023
Prince Harry on Tuesday lost a legal bid to challenge the British government’s decision barring him from paying for police protection during his visits to the UK.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 41, were stripped of taxpayer-funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.
Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail. But London’s High Court ruled Tuesday to deny the review.
The decision to remove publicly funded security was made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC.
Last week, Prince Harry’s lawyers argued during a one-day hearing that RAVEC did not have the authority to reject his offer to pay police for security — and even if it did, it was wrong not to consider an exception, or hear his challenge.

Prince Harry has ‘finally woken up to the truth’ about Meghan, royal expert says
By Nika Shakhnazarova
May 27, 2023
Prince Harry has “finally woken up to the truth” about his wife Meghan Markle, according to the late Princess Diana’s former butler.
Paul Burrell, who worked for Diana for over 10 years until her sudden death in 1997, has sensationally claimed that the Duke of Sussex is only staying in the marriage so that he can see his two children, Archie and Lilibet, grow up.
“Am I the only person in the UK that is thinking, has Harry finally woken up to the truth? Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing and that he’s been brainwashed and mesmerized by her beauty or something? Because we all know that but he doesn’t seem to see it,” Burrell said on GB News Friday.
Burrell, 64, then echoed King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold’s recent prediction, saying he believes that the exiled royal will soon return to home soil for good.

Nobody...but nobody...looks more "queenly" than she does.
Prince Harry was accused of wasting court time Monday after he failed to turn up at London’s High Court, as ordered by the judge, because he was celebrating his daughter Princess Lilibet’s birthday in California on Sunday.
His lawyer David Sherborne kicked off proceedings by saying that Harry would not be available to the obvious frustration of the judge.
Prince Harry’s bitter, yearslong feud with Britain’s tabloid press will come to a head this week. He is scheduled to take the stand on Tuesday in a London courtroom for a lawsuit against the Mirror newspaper group on charges that it hacked his cellphone more than a decade ago.
For the younger son of King Charles III to appear on the witness stand is a milestone for the House of Windsor — he is the first senior royal to be cross-examined in a legal case since the 19th century — and it is not one his family is likely to relish.
(KTLA) – Could Prince Harry have his U.S. visa revoked? A federal court hearing is coming up to decide that.
The Heritage Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to see if rules were followed in granting the Duke of Sussex his visa. The Heritage Foundation is a D.C.-based conservative think tank.
The move comes after Harry revealed in his memoir “Spare” that he had used drugs at one time.
In a written statement released on Tuesday, the 38-year-old cited the 2002 article "Plot to Rob the DNA of Harry," which speculated that the royal was the child of the late Princess Diana and her riding instructor James Hewitt.
Ridiculous! Harry resembles Prince Phillip the most and King Charles as well.

Pee-ew! Prince Louis catches a whiff of horse poo while travelling to his grandfather's Trooping the Colour celebrations (and one is not amused!)

Prince Louis delighted royal fans once again today as he pulled faces at his siblings and grumpily covered his ears while celebrating Trooping the Colour - at one point covering his nose making it appear as though he'd smelt something unpleasant.
The five-year-old was on fine form as he travelled to Horse Guards Parade in a carriage with Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, eight, on Saturday.
They were accompanied by the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla, but that didn't stop Louis from getting up to his usual antics at the King's Birthday Parade.
In one moment, the youngest Wales child covered his nose and mouth in what is thought to be disgust, after he caught a whiff of horse poo.
A photo of the unexpected moment shows the five-year-old clasping his nose with one of his hands.

Meghan Markle rumored to be signing deal with Dior in bid to ‘re-invent’ herself: reportNo matter how much lipstick you put on a pig underneath it all there will still be a pig.

It’s a brand deal that could earn her a lot of royalties.
Meghan Markle, 41, could soon be making a splash in the high-fashion world, as a new report claimed she might be in the process of penning a deal with Dior in a bid from her talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, to “re-invent” the Duchess.
In a new column in The Mail on Sunday written by author Caroline Graham, an unnamed Beverly Hills socialite alleged that Markle is “all anyone is talking about.”
“There have been rumors for weeks that she’s about to sign a deal with Dior which has put the gossip mill into overdrive,” the source claimed. “If she pulls that off, then no one will remember that her silly little podcast got cancelled after one season.”
The Post reached out to Markle’s reps for further comment.
This news comes just a few days after it was announced that the couple would be splitting from Spotify after Markle’s podcast, “Archetypes,” was not renewed for a second season.

Meghan Markle faked podcast interviews, her voice added later: sources
By Brooke Steinberg
June 19, 2023 1:56pm
Just after Spotify’s breakup with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a new report alleges that Markle’s interviews for her “Archetypes” podcast were not conducted by her.
Podnews reported that some of the show’s interviews were done by members of the duchess’ staff — and her voice asking the questions were clipped in later.
The Post has reached out to representatives for Markle and Archewell Audio for comment.
The revelations come shortly after Spotify and Archewell said in a joint statement to The Post that they have “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”
A source previously told The Post that the Archewell media company launched by Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, didn’t produce enough content to receive the full payout of the $20 million deal they agreed to in 2020.
However, “Meghan is continuing to develop more content for the ‘Archetypes’ audience on another platform,” an Archewell Productions spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal.
Sportswriter and podcaster Bill Simmons even slammed the couple in the wake of the fractured deal, saying he once met with Prince Harry about podcast ideas and calling the pair “f–king grifters” in Friday’s episode of his eponymous podcast.

Prince Andrew may have kept in touch with Jeffrey Epstein months after he claims they cut ties
By Lee Brown
June 22, 2023
Disgraced Prince Andrew appears to have kept in touch with late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein — even after he claimed to have flown to Manhattan just to dump him.
The younger son of King Charles III spent large chunks of his disastrous 2019 interview with the BBC justifying his four-day stay at Epstein’s mansion in December 2010 as a brave decision to stop seeing the shady multimillionaire who’d been released from jail months earlier for having sex with underage girls.
“I took the decision that I had to show leadership and I had to go and see him and I had to tell him, ‘That’s it,'” Andrew said, decrying his only mistake as his “tendency to be too honorable.”
He claimed that photos of them walking through Central Park were taken at the very moment he was telling the pervert he “didn’t “think it was appropriate” to stay friends.
“And to this day, I never had any contact with him,” he firmly told “Newsnight” in the sitdown in 2019, months after Epstein killed himself in prison while awaiting further serious child-sex charges.

'Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent': Hollywood talent agency supremo Jeremy Zimmer dismisses Duchess as a talentless broadcaster after Spotify axed its £18m deal with the Sussexes

‘Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,’ he said.
Speaking to the news website Semafor at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France, Zimmer added. ‘And, you know, just because you’re famous, doesn’t make you great at something.’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are working on a new project for Netflix titled Bad Manners.
The couple are looking to bounce back after Spotify dropped them earlier this month.
The Sussexes are working on a new show inspired by Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. Harry and Meghan are developing the show based on a feminist version of Miss Havisham from Dickens' famous novel according to the Wall Street Journal. However, the Sussexes' "feminist" prequel is almost identical to an adaptation made a decade ago, it has been claimed. ...

True. The typical FanBoi/FanGurl has trouble identifying with multi-millionaires out having a pity party,and nobody else has ever cared if they lived or died.
The cottage was renovated for $3.2 million, which Harry and Markle repaid in full shortly after finalizing their blockbuster Netflix deal in 2020.
It's unclear where the couple would stay if they were to visit the U.K. now.We enjoyed our little hotel near Paddington Station on two visits to London, if Harry and Meg are interested. Breakfast is included.
Seems to me he has a right to bitch if the Royal Family doesn't pay himback the 3.2 million he invested in the place.

@sneakypete I highly doubt the money came out of their pockets -- more likely the taxpayers paid for it.
Exactly. The bitched and moaned about Frogmore and wanted it updated. When they left Royal duties there was a big uproar from the public and part of the agreement for them leaving was that they had to pay the money back.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world in 2020 when they decided to take a step back as “senior members” of the royal family.
Shortly after making the big #Megxit to Montecito, California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a slew of projects where they disdainfully discussed their time in “The Firm.”
Royal expert Tom Bower now claims the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38, “know they’ve probably gone too far” with combative content after their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare.”
“All she’s got is the baggage of the Oprah Winfrey interview and her damnation of the royal family in various successive interviews,” Bower told OK! about Markle. “That’s why she’s been so quiet the whole year. She knows they’ve probably gone too far, and she doesn’t know how to get out of it now.”

Harry, Meghan are ‘devastated’ by Emmy snub amid run of ‘bad luck’: royal expert
By Samantha Ibrahim
July 14, 2023 9:36am
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a comeback to Hollywood with their Netflix documentary series, “Harry & Meghan.”
Despite the show bringing in a total of 81.6 million hours watched, the project failed to score any Emmy nominations when they were announced earlier this week.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward recently claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ‘devastated’ about being left out of the award show nods.
“But of course [the couple] will not show it,” the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine told the Mirror.
She added that the viewership numbers were “obviously not good enough for an Emmy nomination.”
However, the series did emerge victorious by winning a nomination for the Hollywood Critics Awards in the Best Streaming Nonfiction category.
“In the series, Harry and Meghan talk about the royal family as if they were the enemy, while they themselves are trying to save the world,” Seward went on.
“The series is an intimate look at ‘hardships’ they faced in their honey-colored, rose-tinted world,” she said.
“Meghan and Harry will concentrate in this and make it a positive, however irritated they might be not to be in the Emmy nominations,” the “Queen’s Speech” author continued.
She then shared her advice for the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38.
“They are having a run of bad luck in their working life. But ironically as long as they concentrate on delivering personal stuff instead of more serious work, people will be interested,” she said. “They have built a gilded cage of expectation around themselves from which it will be hard to escape.”

Are Meghan and Harry separating?
Reports claim that the couple are ‘taking time apart’ to heal and rebuild their bond
July 19, 2023 | 12:19 pm

After five years of marriage, rumors are swirling that Prince Harry and Meghan are set to part ways. Earlier this week, RadarOnline reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “taking time apart” to heal and rebuild their bond.
“They’re trying to figure out what hit them. Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world,” a source told the outlet, adding that he’s hoping to “find himself.” RadarOnline also claimed that Harry is planning a solo trip to Africa to film a documentary, saying that the prince thinks of the continent as his second home and a place where he feels “most like himself.” Responding to the separation rumors, a source close to the British royal family told The Spectator that it “wasn’t surprising to hear,” and added that “there is little sympathy for Harry among the family, after all he’s done.”
But the Sussexes have hit back at the rumor. ... Spectator (https://thespectator.com/topic/meghan-markle-prince-harry-separating-rumors-royal-family/?twclid=2-ucbh5l6nla99daqivz324aqd)

Poor Harry -- he got suckered into the Black Widow's web. Where will he go once they split? Back to his 'Royal' family with his tail between his legs??? You know she'll come after him financially with both barrels.
I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some sort of a protective pre-nup in place.
If there is, QE2 was probably responsible for it.
I don't see Harry leaving the US and his children behind...this is how Meghan has her claws in him...

If Harry ditches Meghan (or vice-versa), my guess is that they'll be a bit of a Prodigal Son twist to this story with respect to his family.
Lots of us guys have done something stupid for a girl. Harry did take that to an extreme...but I don't think the family will consign him forever to purgatory if he is repentent.
King Charles’ reign is a ‘sandwich filling’ between queen, Prince William: expertSorry, off topic, did anyone else when reading the name Russel Myers flash to Russ Myers king of shlock movies like Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens · Beyond the Valley of the Dolls .

Forget about his sausage fingers — he’s a “sandwich” now.
Russell Myers, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor, recently revealed that he believes that King Charles’ reign is just acting as a stall for time — a “sandwich” between the late Queen Elizabeth II’s monarchy and the future king William’s.
The topic was brought up on last week’s episode of the “Pod Save the King” podcast, as Myers and the show’s host, Ann Gripper, were discussing Joe Biden’s recent visit to England, where he met with Charles, 74, at Windsor Castle.
Myers mentioned that he was a bit “disappointed” that there was no press conference after the meeting, while Gripper compared it to Biden’s last visit while the queen was still alive.
“But do you think Joe Biden’s a little bit stung as when he was over last time and then he came out and started chitchatting about what him and the queen had been chitchatting about, and that was really not the done thing,” Gripper commented. “Does it feel like it actually is the done thing now that you could chat a bit more freely about what you talked about with Charles?”

Kate Middleton is one tough cookie.
Royal expert Valentine Low exclusively told Page Six in a recent interview that the royal, 41, is “tougher” than she lets on.
“Interestingly, behind the scenes, she’s a lot more steely, a lot tougher than we give her credit,” he said.
And that reminds me of ... Queen Elizabeth!!

Hollywood royalty avoiding Harry and Meghan to stay in William and Kate’s good graces: report
By Isabel Vincent
July 22, 2023 3:43pm
Snitches don’t make friends in Tinseltown, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are finding out.
Celebrities, including their high-profile neighbors Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Rob Lowe, are staying away from the exiled royals in fear that they will spill their secrets — and alienate them from Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The Montecito-based couple were not even invited to Oprah Winfrey’s birthday party this year, despite her bombshell interview with the Sussexes in March 2021, according to NewsNation.
“Everyone’s got a movie to sell and a Broadway play they want to debut on screen in London or [London’s] West End and they know that Prince William and Kate — who are the biggest [celebrity] gets over there won’t show if they think someone is friends with Harry and Meghan,” the outlet’s senior story producer Paula Froelich said Friday.
“My sources tell me it’s all about the money,” she added. “And the big power players in Hollywood aren’t jeopardizing their business for Harry and Meghan.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who broke away from the royal family in 2020, were also snubbed by the White House when they were denied a flight on Air Force One when they tried to hitch a ride back to the US after Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral in September.
The White House reportedly worried that escorting the estranged royals with President Biden and first lady Jill Biden would cause a “commotion” and strain relations with Britain.
Hollywood celebrities also worried about the couple spilling their secrets, Froelich said.
“What if they dish on what’s in the refrigerator as well?” she said.

It has always been inevitable. She married him to boost her career,and I SUSPECT that he married her to poke a finger in the eye of the royals who he thought was disrespectful to the ho he called "mama".
It ends when the money quits coming in,and the divorce is going to make a LOT of money for the tabloid presses. Chances are that BOTH of them will be negotiating their "cut of the take" on that,too.

Home is where the heart is for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The couple may be moving their homestead from Montecito, Calif. to the sunny shores of Malibu, an insider recently claimed to Express.
Markle, 41, and Harry, 38, have been “secretly” looking at houses in the beach city so they can be closer to Los Angeles, the outlet reported.
“Harry and Meghan are reviewing their living options with Malibu being a place of interest,” the insider noted.
“They have secretly visited the area a couple of times and have been out and about, looking at what’s there.”

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry risk ‘humiliation’ if they ever decide to return to royal life: expert
By Nika Shakhnazarova
July 26, 2023
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry risk “humiliation” if they ever decided to rejoin the royal family in the UK, according to a royal expert.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that the prospect of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returning to the monarchy as working members would be a “bizarre” move considering the damage done.
“This would be one of the most bizarre events in royal history if they did return after all the attacks,” Fitzwilliams said. “It would be a humiliation for Meghan and Harry.”
“The idea that after everything that has happened that Meghan and Harry could just walk back in is beyond extraordinary,” the royal expert added.
The Sussexes shut the door on royal life in 2020 after stepping down as senior working members of the Firm.

The Sussexes’ exclusive inner circle has been dubbed the “Montecito Mafia” by one Hollywood exec, according to the Mail, which is rumored to include Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, photographer Misan Harriman and Meghan’s former “Suits” co-stars Sarah Rafferty and Abigail Spencer.
Longtime activist Gloria Steinem has also been a close friend of the Duchess, presenting the Women of Vision Award to Meghan mere hours before the couple were involved in a supposed “near-catastrophic” car chase in May.
Like I said before, we've stayed at a nice little inexpensive hotel near Paddington Station that I'm sure Harry and Meg would like on their infrequent visits to London. English breakfast is included, and it's within walking distance of Kensington Palace, I believe. I'll be happy to track down the name and address and let him know. :laugh:
Did Meghan and Harry Offend Kate and William By Using the Name Archie?
https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a31913836/archie-nickname-prince-george/
If you have any baby-having friends, you'll already know that hell hath no fury like a parent who thinks another parent "stole" their baby name. (Remember in Friends when Monica graciously "gave" Rachel her baby name, Emma, as a gift?) Well, along with all the other issues that led to the painful rift between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's household and Prince William and Kate Middleton's, a new report points out that Kate and Will may have felt snubbed that Meghan and Harry named their son "Archie." The reason? Prince George's nickname had been "Archie"—and this is verified, having been reported well before Archie Harrison was born. ( https://www.bustle.com/p/prince-georges-nickname-is-archie-this-theory-may-explain-why-15903725 )
Let's back up a little. When Meghan was pregnant with Archie Harrison, The Sun reported in January of 2019 that Prince George had told a passer-by that his name was Archie. The passer-by told The Sun: “I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog. Just to be friendly I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it. To my astonishment he said ‘I’m called Archie’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”
Harry and Meghan have never come up with an original idea in their lives. Even their daughter's name, Lilibet Diana, is way to close the Princess Charlotte's full given name, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. It is also said that when Prince Phillip died, QEII asked that nobody refer to her by Lilibet since that was his pet name for her, and that H&M did not ask her permission to use that name.
Why in the world would William and Kate want them back in Kensington? They simply can't be trusted.
My guess is they need material for Spare 2... :shrug:
King Charles is under pressure to call on the UK government to release more information about UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life in order to help prepare for the country's first contact with aliens.
The King, like his late father Prince Philip, has an "interest in UFOs," according to Mark Christopher Lee whose new documentary, "God Versus Aliens," examines the impact the discovery of extraterrestrial beings would have on religion, the UK Mirror reported.
Lee argued that Charles, as the head of the Church of England, "has a duty to prepare the millions of followers of the Church around the world for the impact of disclosure that we are not the only sentient life in the universe."

Kate Middleton making secret, late-night calls to Prince Harry: report
By Jane Herz
August 13, 2023 8:56pm
Golden receiver?
Kate Middleton, 41, has been phoning her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, 38, late at night as a “kind gesture” in an effort to mend his fractured relationship with the royal family, according to UK’s Closer Weekly.
“Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about these temporary setbacks,” an unidentified source claimed to the outlet last week.
The source also alleged that throughout the familial turmoil, Middleton’s relationship with Harry has “remained intact.”
“She feels very sorry for him right now,” the source continued. “Seeing him go through all these setbacks is very difficult to witness and it tugs at her heartstrings — especially as his court trial is taking place so close to their home.”
The Post reached out to representatives for Harry and Kensington Palace for comment.
Harry visited London in June to testify against the publisher of UK’s Daily Mirror as part of his ongoing claim that its journalists hacked his phone years ago.
Meanwhile, he was granted an allowance last month to take News Group Newspapers to trial over allegations it used “illegal methods” to gather information against him, according to People.

If she indeed is making calls to Harry IMHO she is making huge mistake. His father extended an olive branch to him and he refused. He went on national TV and trashed the family then wrote a book and he continued to trash the family. Why should she feel sorry for him? I can't help but wonder what her true motive is here.
“I think it’s a dinosaur situation. I’ve always thought to myself that they could become extinct if they’re not careful,” he went on, adding that they “have to be very careful with the way they spend money and how much money comes from the privy purse, which is paid for by the taxpayer.”I was under the impression King Charles has cut back on a few perks for the royals.
Krakue’s comment follows hot on the heels of a new poll, conducted by Deltapoll for the Daily Mail, that found more than half of 1,504 Brits wanting Harry removed from the line of succession.

Royal family ‘could become extinct if they’re not careful,’ must prove ‘value for money’: ex-Diana butler
By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 16, 2023
The royal family risks becoming “extinct” if not careful about their excessive lifestyle, according to Princess Diana’s former butler.
Paul Burrell, who worked for the late Diana for over 10 years until her death in 1997, believes that “the minute the public rise up, it’s too late” to save the British monarchy.
Burrell, 65, said it’s important that the family show they are “value for money” and “relevant to today” to retain their position in society.
“The royals can’t be seen to be too excessive because I think the minute the public don’t want them there, they won’t be there,” Burrell, who’s always been vocal about his thoughts on the royals, explained as part of his partnership with the online game Slingo.
“I think it’s a dinosaur situation. I’ve always thought to myself that they could become extinct if they’re not careful,” he went on, adding that they “have to be very careful with the way they spend money and how much money comes from the privy purse, which is paid for by the taxpayer.”

Makes complete sense to me. Charles, William, and Kate seem to understand that. Harry does not.
I'd add that considering what's happening in our own country right now, I can at least see a bit better how/why a constitutional monarch can have value. They're sort of a national symbol that endures beyond politics, and that can be stabilizing. I do remember when Juan Carlos of Spain essentially ended a coup by getting on TV and backing the newly elected government.
Not saying I want one here, because I think that's a terrible idea for us. But I do kind of "get" it.

Prince Harry can step aside — the OG “spare” is actually Prince Andrew.
A new A&E documentary, “Secrets of Prince Andrew,” has revealed why the scandal-ridden Duke of York has always been considered the late Queen Elizabeth’s “favorite” child as well as the original surplus prince.
“We know from Prince Harry that the ‘spare’ creates an idea of resentment and jealousy,” British biographer Andrew Lownie said.

August 23, 2023
A royal sightseeing tour that promised to take passengers within feet of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito mansion has been axed over privacy concerns.
The hotspot tour, led by photographer Karl Larsen, Thomas Markle’s longtime pal, was advertised as the “Royal Celebrity Tour of Los Angeles and Montecito” on travel firm Tripening’s website.
According to The Mirror, each tour costs $1,200 for a group of six and promised royalists to get “an in-depth tour” of “where Meghan grew up” as well as the flashy area “where Harry and Meghan and an army of other A-listers call home.”
Larsen first listed the tour on Tripening with a description that read, “I’m the world-famous celebrity photographer Karl Larsen, a best friend of Thomas Markle (Meghan’s father) and the guy with a stunning exclusive portfolio of pictures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle together in Montecito.”

Prince Harry trashes family’s lack of ‘support’ after Princess Diana’s death in latest royal digBoy I remember how the Brits were all about stiff upper lip and prevailing, I think with Harry out of the succession England has dodged a bullet and poor poor Harry's trembling upper lip.
By Leah Bitsky
August 30, 2023
Prince Harry shaded his royal family members yet again, this time claiming no one was there for him after mom Princess Diana died in 1997 – or when he returned home from serving in Afghanistan with PTSD.
“The trigger to me was actually returning from Afghanistan, but the stuff that was coming up was from…1997 from the age of 12,” the Duke of Sussex said in his new Netflix limited series, “Heart of Invictus,” which premiered Wednesday.
“The biggest struggle for me is that no one around me could really help,” he continued.
“I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me.”
Harry, 38, shared that he “suppressed” his trauma from losing his mother at “such a young age” and was “never really aware” of his emotions until it “all came fizzing out.”
“I was bouncing off the walls,” he recalled. “Like, what is going on here? I’m feeling everything as opposed to being numb.”
But it wasn’t until years later, when he was truly struggling, that he decided to seek help for his mental health.
“Unfortunately, like most of us, the first time you really consider therapy is when you’re lying on the floor in the fetal position, probably wishing that you dealt with some of this stuff previously,” he said.

It's such an easy accusation to be make against someone wealthy and famous,and impossible to prove you are innocent.
When Kate Middleton arrived at King Charles III’s coronation in May, the world got a glimpse of the princess who will one day be queen consort.
The Princess of Wales joined the British royal family at Westminster Abbey for the crowning ceremony of her father-in-law, 74. All eyes were on the mother of three as she wore a jewel-hued Alexander McQueen gown that was paired with a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen silver headpiece.
The 41-year-old has come a long way since she married Prince William, the heir to the British throne, in 2011. Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September, several royal experts agreed that the focus has been on the princess as she supports the future king.

King Charles is remembering his mother, Queen Elizabeth, on the first anniversary of her death.
After midnight on Friday in the U.K., the King issued a formal message to mark the anniversary, which doubles as his Accession Day. Charles immediately acceded to the throne when his mother died at age 96 on Sept. 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She reigned for a record 70 years and had recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee.
“In marking the first anniversary of Her late Majesty’s death and my Accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us,” King Charles said in the statement.
“I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all,” he added, referring to his wife Queen Camilla.

Prince William, Kate Middleton ‘dreading’ Harry’s UK visit because of ‘severe lack of trust’: royal expert
By Leah Bitsky
Published Sep. 7, 2023, 2:08 p.m. ET
Royal experts believe Prince William and Kate Middleton have no desire to reunite with Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.
Harry, 38, flew to London Thursday without Markle, 42, to attend a WellChild charity event, one day before the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
While it’s unclear if the Duke of Sussex will join family members in honoring his late grandmother’s memory, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suspects that William and Kate are “dreading” Prince Harry’s visit.
“It is my understanding that the Prince and Princess of Wales have no desire to meet with Harry – with or without Meghan Markle,” Schofield told Fox News in an interview published Thursday.
“There is a severe lack of trust, and they don’t want the conversation repeated to anyone.”
The “To Di For Daily” podcast host added that William and Middleton, both 41, most likely don’t want Harry’s presence to distract from honoring the longest-reigning British monarch, who died on Sept. 8, 2022 at age 96.
“Especially when William and [Middleton] are expected to publicly acknowledge the anniversary of the late queen’s passing. Harry will be, no doubt, a distraction and will create conflicting headlines that the palace will not appreciate,” Schofield said.
“He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. … It’s a tough spot to be in, but Harry seems to be prioritizing philanthropy right now. I’m not surprised by his eagerness to attend.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were done with royals after this photo snub

Not picture perfect. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally decided to pull the plug on their senior royal roles once a certain heir photo was released by Buckingham Palace.
According to author Andrew Morton, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were taken aback when a 2020 photo of the late Queen Elizabeth II — and her heirs, the now King Charles, Prince William and Prince George — made its debut.
“The royal couple suspected that the entire institution was conspiring against them. As they saw it, the evidence was all around them. The unspoken code was straightforward: the future of the monarchy was assured, with or without Meghan and Harry,” Morton claimed in his unauthorized biography, “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.”
The photograph was taken in the Throne Room at the palace. Two days after its release, Harry and Meghan revealed that they would be officially leaving The Firm.

Good grief ... the entire institution was conspiring against them? Paranoia much or do they both have problems; Harry dealing with the death of his mother and Markle dealing with issues with her father. Harry's jealousy of his older brother didn't seem to be an issue until Markle entered the picture. She over estimated Harry's royalty as far as being an heir to the throne and whined about it to him, making him very sensitive to the issue.So I guess all Harry's angst over being nothing but a spare was all for nothing, appears he's not needed at all :silly:
They decided to move to CA. That's where they need to stay.
So I guess all Harry's angst over being nothing but a spare was all for nothing, appears he's not needed at all :silly:
She has made no secret about her left-leaning politics and belief that women can change the world.
So it may come as no surprise that Meghan Markle's name was being bandied about in Hollywood last night as a long-shot replacement for Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Indeed, within minutes of 90-year-old Feinstein's death being announced on Friday, the Mail on Sunday was told 'phones lit up' with speculation the Duchess of Sussex could throw her hat in the ring to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.
A major Democratic donor who is close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom - who will choose Feinstein's replacement - told the MoS: 'Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.'
Meghan Markle 'considers run for office': Duchess of Sussex's name is in the frame to fill Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein's seat after senator died aged 90 (and could the White House be her ultimate aim?)

The Sussexes are back in the Big Apple.
Meghan Markle looked chic in a white off-the-shoulder blazer and trousers as she attended a World Mental Health Day event with Prince Harry Tuesday, with the couple visiting New York for the first Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, wore a sold-out Altuzarra blazer with wide-legged white trousers and slingback heels for the forum at Hudson Yards, which was titled “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.”
The jacket — which featured a wide folded-down neckline and two buttons at the front — brings back memories of the white off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress she wore to the 2022 Ripple of Hope Gala.
Markle wore her hair pulled up in a sleek bun, accessorizing with a gold choker necklace and hoop earrings.

As for Prince Harry, he wore a navy suit with a dress shirt and coordinating blue tie for the summit.
The panel — which was moderated by “Today” show co-host Carson Daly during the World Mental Health Day Festival hosted by Project Healthy Minds — was created to focus on “community and creating positive change for a safer online world for young people.”

Prince Harry laid bare the painful rift between himself and his family in the pages of his memoir Spare last January — and the world learned the extent of the division between Harry, 39, and his brother Prince William, 41.
But nearly a year after Spare’s publication, “absolutely nothing has changed,” author Omid Scobie, whose new book Endgame is out Nov. 28, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.
In fact, the hurt and anger between the two brothers — one, the Prince of Wales and future King and the other, the Duke of Sussex and Californian — has now hardened into something colder and more immovable, says Scobie: indifference.
“I saw Harry’s release of Spare as his last attempt at telling his family how he’s felt for years,” says Scobie, who chronicles both the breakdown of the royal family and the weakening of the modern monarchy in Endgame. “Because clearly there’s never been an open enough forum to have these conversations or share these feelings.”

As Netflix launches its final season of “The Crown,” focusing on Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and his billionaire father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, many viewers will be retold the story of Diana’s shocking death through TV news flashes. Personally, I remember getting the news in a phone call from the White House.Read entire story at The Federalist (https://thefederalist.com/2023/11/17/i-investigated-princess-dianas-death-heres-the-real-story-you-wont-see-in-the-crown/).
When Diana and Dodi were killed in Paris, I was working at the American Embassy there. A career FBI agent, I was assigned to Paris as the legal attaché, meaning I was the U.S. government’s official liaison with French law enforcement. Later, my private work as a consultant would draw me more deeply into the investigation of the tragedy. ...
After retiring from the FBI, I was working as a consultant when asked to help on a “very sensitive” case by an FBI colleague. It was an investigation related to the princess’s death. He needed someone with a knowledge of both the French and British police systems. Mohamed Al-Fayed had suspicions about the death of his son and the princess, whom he had regarded as his future daughter-in-law. He was unsatisfied with the French judicial investigation. Their 6,000-page report had concluded that Princess Diana’s death was an accident. ...
MacNamara outlined Al-Fayed’s belief: The crash was orchestrated by MI-6 on orders from the royal family. Further, the CIA aided MI-6 in this murderous undertaking. I pushed back. There was no rational reason, nor national interest, for the CIA to want Diana dead. MacNamara did not like my pushback. I promised, even though I did not believe there was a conspiracy, we would “turn over every stone” to see if there was collusion with French, British, or American services. ...
In Paris, we would be staying at an apartment on Rue Arsène Houssaye, the very place Dodi and Diana had been bound for when they were killed. It was a truly grand apartment, which occupied the top floors of the building. There were phones throughout for us to use. We suspected the phones, likely the entire apartment, were bugged. Our suspicions would be confirmed. ...
As Christmas cards go, they could not be more different. One traditional, one modern; the present and future of the monarchy in two photographs.Seems appropriate to me. Kate looks good in jeans.

Queen's fury over naming of baby Lilibet: Aide says monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after Harry and Meghan claimed they had her blessing to use childhood nickname

Queen Elizabeth was infuriated by Harry and Meghan's claim that she had given her blessing to their daughter being named Lilibet, a new book reveals.
One member of her staff says the monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been 'supportive'.
The couple even ordered their aggressive firm of lawyers, Schillings, to write to news broadcasters and publishers - most notably the BBC - saying claims she was not asked for permission were false and defamatory and should not be repeated.
But when the Sussexes attempted to 'co-opt' Buckingham Palace into 'propping up' their version of events, they were 'rebuffed'.

Kensington Palace announced on Wednesday that the Princess of Wales, who turned 42 earlier this month, underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" at The London Clinic on the previous day.
"The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery," the statement said. "Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
"The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private," the statement continued. "Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share."

LONDON — Britain’s King Charles III will undergo a “corrective procedure” in the hospital next week after seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday.
“In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” the statement said. “His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure.”
It added that the 75-year-old's monarch “public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”
A Buckingham Palace source told NBC News that Charles “was keen to share the details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing symptoms to get checked, in line with public health advice.”
That seems a long time to remain in hospital. Hope it's nothing serious.

The King, 75, "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible," it added.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, made a dash across the Atlantic to see his cancer-stricken father for just over 30 minutes following his recent diagnosis.
Speaking to “Good Morning America” Friday, Harry — who is fifth in line to the throne — stressed, “I love my family.”
A source close to the royal told us: “I have a hard time believing if his dad asks for his help that Harry would say no, I think he would try.”
But at the same time, the source added: “I don’t think it’s something that Harry would ask [to do] on his own.”
Last week, Harry reconciled with his 75-year-old father at the monarch’s London home, Clarence House, during a quick 25-hour trip to the UK.

The first photo of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery nearly two months ago was released Sunday along with a statement thanking the public for its support, but within hours major photo agencies issued notices advising outlets to no longer distribute the image, saying that it appeared to have been "manipulated at the source."
The photo of her in a chair surrounded by her three children was credited to her husband, William, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, and was said to be taken earlier in the week in Windsor. ...
Later Sunday, AP, Reuters and AFP all said media outlets should no longer use the image.
"The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace," the agency said in a statement to NBC News. "The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand." ...
I'm not sure what's supposedly wrong with Charlotte's hand. :shrug:
I can't figure it out.. :shrug:
The princess said that the cancer had been discovered after abdominal surgery and that she was receiving “preventative chemotherapy.”
When Catherine, Princess of Wales, revealed on Friday evening that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy, it brought to a head months of speculation about her well-being.
Her prolonged absence from public life in recent months had driven a wave of theories and wild rumors about her health, her whereabouts and even the state of her marriage to Prince William.
Here’s what we know about her diagnosis and treatment.
Ancient predictions by 15th-century-prophet Nostradamus are resurfacing amid current events involving Kate Middleton and King Charles' health issues. Nostradamus, who correctly predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the bombing of Hiroshima and the rise of Napoleon, foretold difficult times for the monarchy in 2024.
Nostradamus, in his cryptic verses written centuries ago, predicted the potential abdication of a king and the rise of an unexpected successor, which now seems to echo the current situation involving King Charles and Prince Harry. The ancient prophet said the "King of the Isles" would be "driven out by force” and will be "replaced by one who will have no mark of a king."
King Charles is suffering from cancer, which was discovered when he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. Royal observers speculated that King Charles might step down, either voluntarily or due to pressure related to his health. However, the question of how Prince Harry, who has shown little interest in royal duties, would end up as king remains unanswered.

King Charles will be taking it easy on Easter Sunday.
The monarch, 75, who has battled against cancer in recent months, has been laying low as part of his recovery.

According to The Telegraph, the king will stay away from the main public on Easter to make sure that remains safe and healthy. ...
Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, will be absent from Sunday’s events, as the Duchess of Cambridge, 42, is battling her own cancer. ...
Published on March 31, 2024 05:55AM EDT
King Charles made his most significant public appearance on Sunday since beginning cancer treatment, leading the royal family for Easter church service at Windsor Castle.
The King, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, arrived at St. George's Chapel for the Easter Mattins Service by car. He greeted the church clergy upon his arrival and then waved to the gathering crowd outside the chapel before making his way in.
Following medical advice, the royal couple were seated apart from the rest of the royal family and other attendees during the service to minimize the risk of infection. As per the orders of King Charles's doctors, neither he nor Camilla, who looked festive in a green coat dress accessorized by an emerald and diamond brooch that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth, will attend a reception or host a private family lunch after the service.
When King Charles ascended to the British throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, there were murmurs of surprise when he took the name King Charles III. Rumors had persisted for years he could possibly take another name due to the unlucky history of his predecessors, who were called Charles.
When Buckingham Palace announced in early February that Charles was suffering from cancer, there were many who must have thought, “Here we go again.” The Royal Family had already been rocked in recent times due to Charles’s second son, Prince Harry, resigning from his royal duties and moving to the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle. Rumors have also persisted recently regarding the health of the future queen, Kate Middleton, due to infrequent public appearances and apparent tampered social media photos.
But is it true that Charles is an unlucky name for a monarch? Here, we take a look at some of the unfortunate holders of that royal moniker.

Agree @Gefn --- and the Queen is said to have 'trusted' and 'relied' on Sophie Wessex to a greater extent than many in her inner circle, including even the then Duchess of Cornwall. Some royal experts claimed she saw Sophie as 'more like a daughter' than a daughter-in-law.

King Charles, currently battling cancer, was too 'busy' to carve out even a few moments for his son, instead hosting a garden party at Buckingham Palace. Of the 30,000 guests invited to that event, Harry did not make the list.That seems pretty clear.
Prince Harry ‘in tears’ after King Charles bestows military honor on Prince William: ‘The gloves are off’Yeah that quote is pretty funny considering it was Sparkel Farkel Markel who held Harry's hands on the axe that was used to do the chopping of those ties. I doubt Harry will ever reclaim his testicles from Meghan, so he best get used to being as irrelevant....everywhere.

Prince Harry was reduced to tears after learning King Charles had bestowed a new honor upon Prince William, a royal expert claims.
On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace announced that William, 41, will be made colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps – despite Prince Harry, 39, having personally served with the unit in Afghanistan.
The announcement appeared timed to inflict maximum pain on Harry, coming on the same day that he returned to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
“King Charles’ announcement… is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalized and underrated,” royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror on Saturday. “He is said to have been in tears when he heard”.
“What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems – his brother.”
Quinn claimed that the announcement was “deliberately” made while Harry was in the UK to show that the king’s younger son “is no longer welcome.”
“They [the royal family] have decided the gloves are off and that Harry needs to realize that when you betray the family, you don’t just escape the things you hated doing as a working royal,” the expert asserted. “You also lose the things you loved.”
“Harry cannot fail to get the message,” Quinn continued. “His last few ties to his old life are being cut and he is being set adrift, permanently.”

History is full of Actions have Consequences examples.....
When the royal grift as dried up, Harry and family's descendants will be scrapping for bread crumbs like the rest of us "dirty Americans".
I an guessing his Father's funeral will be his last offical event with the Royal Family.
