There's an ongoing myth that she's the only Queen of England who never set foot in England. She actually *did* set foot in England, but the story lingers!

Princess Charlotte is said to like ballet.

If Harry and Meghan want to visit Nigeria, or anywhere else, that's their business. It just seems rather ironic that someone who said he hated going on formal visits abroad and couldn't cope with media attention is going on a formal visit abroad and courting media attention. Funny, that ...

Jam is wonderful stuff, but is best eaten on scones, with cream. There's no residency requirement as regards the law of succession.

I once bought a book which had a limited print run, so my copy had a number. This was many years ago, and I've still got it, although I've got no idea whether or not it's worth anything. If you buy a limited edition coin from the Royal Mint, I think you get a certificate with a number...
