Sorry for the delays over recent weeks but as I have said before my brother has been diagnosed with grade 4 brain cancer and the prognosis isn't good. I have spent most of today with him and the doctor told me 'maybe this time he won't go home or maybe he will but it is more likely weeks rather...

Tim would have to become a royal first. Currently he isn't one and I don't see Charles creating him as a Prince. I also don't see Beatrice being added to the working royals roster - especially after the announcement this week that about 200 charities are to lose their royal patronage. If there...

As someone who has a brother diagnosed with cancer one week before the King ... and who started his treatment also one week before the King I am assuming that the King is about a week behind where my brother it i.e. currently having a break from the weekly treatments and so able to do a few more...

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out there was also a service at The Chapel Royal at Royal Lodge where Beatrice and Eugenie were able to go if they wanted to do so. It is also more private and where the late Queen would often go when at Windsor on a Sunday. I am sure that Anne and Tim would...

I believe it was Charles and Camilla, Andrew and Sarah, Edward and Sophie and Anne and Tim. It was always said it would be a smaller turnout and a smaller congregation to aid in the avoidance of infections spreading to the King.

However there is a precedent for non-working royals to serve as Counsellors of State e.g. the late Earl of Harewood often did so in the early years of the late Queen's reign. He even said it was often easier for him than for his mother as he could simply say to his boss 'I have to do something...

Prince and Princess Michael of Kent 'retired' from public life just after Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee. There was an official announcement to that effect. Prince Michael has never been a working royal. Beatrice and Eugenie were told when they were teenagers they would never be wanted or needed and...

Charles is about a week behind my brother in terms of time-scale and my brother has finished his first full round of chemo and will resume in a couple of weeks. Of course Charles' cancer is probably very different to my brother's (xxxx as against brain cancer) but the time scale is probably...
