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...

Using the name and title with The is fine. It is wrong to refer to her as Catherine, Princess of Wales as that would signify she is divorced.

Given her high profile I would imagine that the tests were 'fast-tracked'. Remember that Charles III's prostate procedure was a couple of days after Catherine's op and he had his cancer diagnosis within a week at the same hospital. My brother - just an ordinary bloke and in Australia - had his...

I too hope she will be fine. As for 'caught early' I don't even know what that means anymore. My brother had no symptoms at all until the Tuesday before Christmas. On Wednesday his wife insisted on him going to hospital. On Saturday he had two 'benign brain lesions' removed. After the lesions...

Weekly Update to 3rd March, 2024 Sorry for the delay - my family is dealing with my brother's cancer diagnosis and one of the consequences is that both my nieces are now planning their weddings to be sure that their father is able to be there. We are hoping for the best of course but planning...

In the UK the pathologist will determine cause of death medically but the final determination on suicide or some other cause will be made by the coroner in a court room. The pathologist will give the findings from the autopsy but the police and family and friends will also be asked to give...

None have been 'more high profile'. They have received more coverage because Catherine isn't around for the media to write 20 articles about what she is wearing. They are basically the same type of engagements: Anniversaries, Visited places, Received people (last year the President of the...

A lot of people have been commenting that The Queen and others have been 'stepping up' to fill the slack of the lack of The King and The Princess of Wales so I did a comparison from end of February 2023 to end of February 2024 using my figures and this is what I discovered: Comparison Between...

Rather hypocritical when the various news outlets are always publishing 'unauthorised' images of other royals e.g. Andrew when he goes riding or one or other of the York girls out for dinner and not to mention one or two others. I assume that from now on only images from royals at official...

Just starting doesn't mean he can't be planning ahead. My brother was diagnosed with cancer one week before Charles' announcement. So he is only a week ahead of Charles with his treatment. He and his wife are planning a 16 week to Europe for next year - the planning is as much about actual...

The morning TV shows here in OZ, as well as print and other media, are reporting that talks are underway for a possible visit by The King and The Queen to Australia later this year, to coincide with CHOGM in Samoa. I know this was discussed last year - pre-cancer diagnosis but the PM confirmed...
