    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 -

    I personally don't mind if Meghan spends a lot of money on clothes. The funds are hers, to use as and how she wishes. If she chooses to use them on expensive clothing, is that really any business of mine? Saying that, there are definitely optics to consider for these kinds of trips. Especially...

    State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan: Spring 2020 [postponed]

    I just saw the speculation about that. I will feel sorry for everyone involved if it is - to have it cancelled again, at such short notice. That would be extremely frustrating.

    General News for Charles III and Queen Camilla Part 2, February 2024-

    Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles and Queen Camilla will postpone engagements 'which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign'. This in response to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announcing a General Election for July 4...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Charities and Patronages

    One interesting thing about the delinquency - any donations Archewell has received in the meantime will not be considered tax-protected. So Archewell would have to declare them for tax purposes, and pay appropriate taxes on them. The error was relatively minor, and by all accounts, extremely...

    The suit is lovely, and looks great on her. A thumbs up from me.

    Bare back and shoulders does not seem appropriate to me. Especially for a daytime visit to a school in a conservative country. Although, even if they were doing a day event in Denmark or the Netherlands, I would probably say the same thing.

    It will not, as the UK does not impose a residency requirement to be eligible. Harry will be in the LoS until the day he dies, unless the British government passes new legislation to redefine how the LoS works, or the monarchy is abolished.

    Separations & Divorces Announcements 2024

    That's very sad for Nikolaos and Tatiana. But it sounds as if the separation will not be acrimonious.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 9: August 2023 -

    An article in The Daily Mail indicates the government has spent 514,000 pounds. Harry will now have to cover 462,000 of that, as well as his own fees. He apparently has the right to approach the Court of Appeal directly, but one would hope he chooses not to do so, for the sake of his bank...

    Has there been any mention of what the 90% costs will be? Quite a chunk, I suspect, especially on top of Harry's own legal fees.

    According to this article in The Daily Mail, "the full outline of Meghan's new brand will become clear very soon, with sources saying that it will go live in early to mid-April". I don't know exactly what 'go live' means. Presumably 'offer products for purchase'? Time will tell soon enough.

    Princess of Wales Undergoing Cancer Treatment

    Not sure if he'll outright apologize, but between this news and Rose issuing a 'cease and desist', you have to hope he recognizes it's time to drop the topic and quietly move on.

    Princess of Wales Undergoing Cancer Treatment

    And it turns out, THIS is why William pulled out of the memorial service. Because she had just received the news that the cells were cancerous.

    Princess of Wales Undergoing Cancer Treatment

    My jaw literally dropped when I read the headline. "When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions."

    General News for the Wales Family 2: March 2024-

    Now there is news breaking that someone at the hospital allegedly attempted to access Kate's medical records without authorization. I really hope this isn't true. And that somebody is held to account if it is. It doesn't matter who you are in life - medical confidentiality should be guaranteed.
