They asked pigs to teach them how to fly, but got lost somewhere while doing it ;)

Well, considering most of engagements during that period were phonecalls and zooms, technically there's no reason why the older royals couldn't do it. (Unless they preferred to do it in in-person engagement, hence it's all packed up in the second half of the year when it's possible to do it).

I'm thinking it's about media exposure. It can be said that currently the Cambridges are hot commodity. Even with just releasing a photograph without doing any engagement that qualify to be put in CC, they still make front page. And it should also be noted that the Cambridges have different type...

Ruins found of Hideyoshi’s ‘fabled castle’ leveled by quake

15 December 1242 (Ninji 3, 22nd day of the 11th month 仁治3年11月22日) – Birth of Munetaka-shinnō 宗尊親王, the sixth shōgun of the Kamakura shogunate. He was the first son of Go-Saga-tennō and one of his concubine, Taira no Muneko. When Minamoto no Sanetomo died childless, the line of shōguns from the...

Should I be surprised that MoS hasn't given up yet? Meghan Markle says privacy victory against Mail on Sunday is ‘for anyone scared to stand up for what’s right’

Is it just me or the pattern of her top looks like batik.

As expected. But then again, IMO MoS didn't really expect to win this appeal to begin with. They push this appeal so they can "present" the text and emails in the court. By presenting it before the court of law, it makes it more legitimate than if they published it directly in their paper. And...

42 engagements in a week, meaning 6 engagements/day in average? And not during Royal tour (1st week of Nov was COP26, right?).

The Telegraph just dropped this in my email: Princes and the Press: Sussexes never intended to 'become Trappist monks and take vow of silence' Archive: https://archive.ph/OOQ3A I can't help to wonder whether the reason is actually the palace's reaction or the last revelation in form of...

Indeed. Which is why consent from the party involved IS important and necessary. Giving consent means they know the risk and the ramifications and willing to face it (which should also take into consideration the effect on ppl around them). I'm thin no matter how much I ate which make a a...

The thing is, Muhler, in this specific case, there's already some fraction who believe that her husband cheated on her and involved in a smearing campaign against his own brother, so next time she wears a thicker make-up who know if a speculation would resurface about her trying to cover the...

Journalism nowadays seems less about reporting a news, but more about leading public opinion. I still don't understand why it's called "The Princes and The Press" when it's actually more about "Prince Harry and The Press". Sure it mentioned William ... for less than a quarter part of eps 1...

Here: Article by Anita Singh https://archive.ph/T6nnf Article by Camilla Tominey https://archive.ph/cLHWj Scobie and Camilla said they did it last year, so this doc was in production since before Oprah. I agree with posters up thread, more than "The Princes and the Press", this should be...

Well, if the Sun to be believed, there might be some truth about the boycott rumour. Prince William and Kate Middleton ban BBC from screening Christmas carol concert amid fury over royal documentary

Sorry, but I choose not to believe Daily Mail. Here's The Telegraph article by Camilla Tominey (who spoke in the documentary) Brief encounters: the truth about the Palace PR machine and how we journalists get royal stories

Well, at least it.means they infused "new blood" into the Imperial family after the long intermarriage with the Fujiwara clan. I post the list of the Tokugawa-IF marriage here. And that's not all, only the main branches and several from collateral branch which I find interesting.

Marriage Between Tokugawa Clan and the Imperial Family Extra: post-Meiji Tokugawa Tsuneko 徳川経子 (1882-1939), daughter of Tokugawa Yoshinobu (the last shōgun) married to Fushimi-no-miya Hiroyasu Ō 伏見宮博恭王 (1875-1946), the 23nd head of the Fushimi branch. *Upon marriage, Tsuneko became a princess...

Marriage Between Tokugawa Clan and the Imperial Family To secure their hegemony, the three shogunates had their own way in affiliating with the palace. The Kamakura shogunate did it by putting (toddler) prince or noble as shōgun with the head of Hōjō clan having the de facto power as their...

(Move it here since it’s more about membership than Mako). Okay, I have to make correction here. From what I’ve read, since the Nara period traditionally (if they’re not becoming monks or nuns) the male members of the Imperial family would take member of Shuga clan or Fujiwara clan (which then...

UK plane used by Royal Family and Prime Minister now using green jet fuel Well, it's still not as "clean" as sailing or riding horse to Jordan though ... :biggrin:

By law, no. You have to renounce your Japanese citizenship if you acquired foreign one. But it doesn't stop some people from having two passports. Just don't advertise it if you do. Which in Mako's case (and her husband too), it wouldn't look good if the media catch them doing it. I remember...

Didn't William study geography? I don't know about St Andrew, but a friend of mine whose major was geography had climate change module at uni.
