    The Future of the British Monarchy 2: Sep 2022 -

    May I suggest moving it here? General Questions About Royalty and Monarchies This discussion makes me wonder, should North Korea be considered monarchy then? (yes, I know officially it's a republic) Because if it's about power, NK's head of state surely hold more power than most head of states...

    Royals at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, July-August 2023

    I'm not talking about Australia (or the World Cup organiser who I'm sure is well prepared to even hosting Biden or Kamala Harris last minute if USA were in final and any of them decided to be there), I'm talking about the hypothetical persons/organisations William would visit as his additional...

    Royals at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, July-August 2023

    I just think that it's bad planning for a person in an important position (and bad manner in general) to do things on a whim just because (or in William's case, for additional excuses to justify flying to the the other side of the globe to watch 2 hrs match) which may or may not cause...

    Royals at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, July-August 2023

    Assuming the person/organisations William wants to visit don't have anything else on the day of visit or willing to re-arrange it to accommodate the impromptu visit. I sure hope William will not think along the way that they should drop whatever they have for him as they should feel honour the...

    Royals at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, July-August 2023

    In the case of having other engagements to justify flying to Australia to watch the final, can those engagements realistically be arranged in 3 days (all the logistic involving those engagements including security and who'll cover the cost since it's outside WC scope). Because I don't think it...

    The Prince of Wales and Sporting Charities 2: Sep 2022-

    I'm interested on this part: I'm wondering what he meant by "logistical constraints". Is it simply the long haul flight? So there was no plan for him to go from the start and he told the team upfront before they left. Did William say it during that engagement in June? If yes, I wonder why it...

    This one is from Harry's lawsuit against the Sun: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/07/05/prince-harrys-secret-deal-claim-alice-in-wonderland-stuff/ Honestly I'm starting to get confused when reading about his hacking lawsuits, of which one is which. So the Mirror pushing on no...

    The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales 2: Sep 2022 -

    Indeed. I used to think that some issues can be solved simply with money/enough funding. Then I was volunteering in an organisation related to that issue and I start to change my mind. Sometimes it's just like covering leaking roof with plastic. Sure, it might help the next time it rain, but...

    Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine, News Part 4: June 2023 - October 2023

    I'm not saying that the Queen should follow the late QEII's example which would make Frederik become Charles 2.0, but if the Queen doesn't want to abdicate then I don't think people should pressure her to abdicate. The way it going now, I think Christian is lucky. In his case, he can follow...

    The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales 2: Sep 2022 -

    Judging by parnerts listed on their website and charities William was/is visiting, it seems this initiative does not only about providing house but also the support system so they can keep their house (so basically following what Finland has been doing). I think it's also smart that it's...

    But wouldn't most of those money go to production cost? At least for Netflix and Spotify, while for the money from Harry's book deal they might pocket bigger percentage of the deal. I'm honestly surprised to find articles about them in the (what I thought to be) financial/business publications...

    Education of the Wales Children, Part 2, 2022 -

    So, possibly Eton for George? And here I though they'll send him to Marlborough so the three can go to the same school. Prince George visits Eton with parents Prince William and Princess Kate (This story first came from someone on twitter yesterday, who then deleted it not long after)

    It's actually his go-to Ascot tie. There's even an article about it. (btw, what's that strap on his right shoulder? His wife's bag?) I love that he's not afraid to wear bright colours. Yellow tie and vest? Two thumbs up, sir! (Though of course, let's not forget his 2018 Ascot with blue shirt...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 8: April - August 2023

    Well, the "second son of a monarch, a brother of another monarch, and an uncle to a future monarch" can be applied to Andrew too and I don't think any posters in this forum will use it to argue about his future. Similarly any news about his antics will bring clicks and headlines, yet will any...

    From what I saw on social media, story came from the Daily Mail that "source close to the Sussex" (or was it WME) said that Meghan sort of potentially would/might land a deal with Dior (with headline "Is Meghan about to become the mega-buck Duchess of Dior" and you can Google the article using...

    If the evidences are all based on everyone's recollections, I think it would down to statute of limitation. Both Harry and MGN journalist gave "I don't/can't remember" when answering questions and honestly, how could anyone expect someone to remember everything that happened over one or even two...
