    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 4: April-June 2021

    i somehow think that her presence at such a delicate event after the interview bombshell will not necessarily be welcome, particularly if she didn't know philip well. and pregnancy combined with COVID is as great excuse as any for her (and the others) in this awkward situation. harry is another...

    Death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh: 9 April 2021

    the royal messages of support have not taken long: Spain's king and queen telegrammed "Dear Aunt Lilibet" to mourn the passing of "Dear Uncle Philip". The telegram from King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain was particularly poignant, sending "all our love and affection" to Aunt Lilibet (the...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 4: April-June 2021

    i don't think grace and meghan are comparable. firstly, grace was an A list celebrity way before she married into royalty. 2 years before her wedding she won an oscar. that is way more than meghan's acting career. and back then, monaco was not the glittery, glamorous place it is now - if...

    Death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh: 9 April 2021

    how very sad. i am sure the RF is devastated. philip was such a devoted companion to the queen over such a long period of time, she couldn't have hoped for a better life partner. i feel specially sorry this has occured after H&Ms interview. the last few days that must have been sad and...

    What Languages Do The Royals Speak?

    meghan seemed to speak a good level of french when she visited morocco (she was only heard speaking to a couple of schoolgirls over their plans for life, so admittedly it was an informal conversation so unsure what her real level of french is like). she lived in argentina so assume she speaks a...

    Birth of Prince Julian Herbert Folke, Duke of Halland: March 26, 2021

    lovely name, julian, a bit unexpected. he looks a lot like sofia, i think. interesting they picked the duchy of Halland for him, i wonder how it got assigned to such a late grandchild. given the association with lilian and bertil, i expected it to be given to one of the first born grandchildren...

    Spanish State Visit to Andorra; March 25-26, 2021

    i didn't hear any catalan in his short speech, he spoke in spanish, but may have spoken some catalan in private.

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 3: March - April 2021

    this is the reality of joining a high profile family such as the RF. i hear this over and over, as if camilla and kate didn't get abuse when they joined the royal family! i am surprised too, but what albert said wasn't controversial. one can say is basic common sense - private matters should...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 3: March - April 2021

    oh, how misleading! so much to be said also for harry, who is now also on a commision on 'misinformation'. how about he starts by BetterUp's 'misinformation'? harry is combatting misinformation via the aspen commision whilst his company betterup camouflages the fact that they are a for profit...

    Royals Born By Caesarean

    eugenie's son august was born by C-section. zara's lucas was born at home, so naturally and probably without much (or heavy duty) pain relief as i doubt midwives who assist home births can give you more than gas and air and the usual pain killers such as paracetamol.

    The Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía, News Part 1: June 2014 -

    i felt her a bit shy and as if she didn't engage much with her guests, but overall she seemed to do great, i assume it is no easy feat to be in the spotlight for the first time.

    A Boy for Zara and Mike Tindall!

    fab news, they must be delighted to have their baby boy. i wonder if they were planning a home birth or whether lucas' arrival took them by surprise. i'm not too keen on the name lucas but love how philip is his second name, specially seeing the health issues he's had lately - surely not a...

    The Duchess of Cambridge's Daytime Fashion Part 29: October 2020 - July 2021

    what a lovely coat. what i am surprised is on using the white colour on a day which was a commemoration of the tragic deaths over the past year - i would have thought a darker colour would have been best.

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 3: March - April 2021

    i find it interesting that harry in the interview said he didn't know how to support his wife through suicidal thoughts (despite his many high level connections) but he's now got no problems accepting a role as chief impact officer of a mental health non profit. these 2 make no sense.

    The Prince's Trust and Patronages and Causes 1: Ending Sep 2022

    the perfect example how the RF is putting the needs of the people it serves ahead of any drama their members decide to air out. i loved how charles (and other members) just carries on doing his bit to support the country - it speaks volumes that they released a statement on the sussexes saying...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 3: March - April 2021

    Catherine St-Laurent now resigning... one can't help but wonder why the high turnover of staff in the H&M 'household'. agree. he is doing well not engaging in this circus. i would have done that too if i were him.

    The Duchess of Cambridge Current Events 6: January 2019 - September 2022

    it was so opportune of kate to be there for this. the fact that she did it privately, without fanfarre, is an added bonus. i am glad she was there.

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex with Oprah II - Interview, March 7th-9th 2021

    Woah. Now that was explosive. There’s things I don’t think I’ll comment on unless we get more information on (the racism claims) as I think those are really sensitive topics. I will however say that this is a very one sided interview. I’ll also say that even if they praised the queen all...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 2: December 2020-March 2021

    something i don't understand is that when they stepped down last year they did so because they said they wanted privacy and they also spoke about the media and how unfair they were to them. those were the key reasons cited. now, it turns out that part of the problem according to them was that...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Oprah I - Pre-interview, Feb-March 2021

    when was it demonstrated that they leaked derogatory information about Catherine or other RF members? i will probably watch their interview, but i am most suspicious of these two and don't think i trust all that they have to say - they'll have a hard time convincing me and many others: why...

    General News & Information on the Spanish RF

    it isn't that 'clean' and it is somewhat embarrasing as it looks like they're skipping the queue. they aren't UAE citizens so there's no reason why the UAE would be under an obligation to vaccinate them. if they had been joe bloggs would a vaccine have been made available to them? there's many...

    it isn't the first time that claims emerged of meghan being demanding - the story about the 5 am emails, the episode of kate being in tears during the prewedding fitting session, the many members of her staff leaving their jobs (Samantha Cohen, the nannies, the bodyguard who was with her in...

    The Princess of Orange, Pss Alexia and Pss Ariane, News Part 2 (Feb 2019 -Dec 2021)

    well done to alexia, and to leonor. the exams seem quite rigorous. i am unsure why amalia didn't get to go, maybe as the heir it was judged she should live in netherlands. given that WA&M are good friends with their belgian counterparts, i am sure they at least considered the option of sending...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Oprah I - Pre-interview, Feb-March 2021

    it is inevitable that they will show some negativity towards the RF and/or palace officials - at least to say that they weren't supported. whatever they do, i hope for their own good that they do it in a classy, dignified way. indeed, very heavy make up chosen by meghan. her face looks very...

    The Duke & Duchess of Sussex and Family, News and Events 2: December 2020-March 2021

    i can't deny that i find these 2 rather hypocritical. they wax lyrical about their privacy, then engage in a celebrity-style interview with a late night show and in an interview with oprah, the queen of talk shows. they speak about their kid's first word, his christmas presents, their evening...
