    "Spare" memoir by the Duke of Sussex (2023)

    Years ago forum member MarleneKoenig (Royal Musings) made this post regarding the titles of the Wessex Children and I believe she has more recent explanations, perhaps on her blog or other social media. As I recall, there need not be letters patent, just will of the Monarch; the language used...

    The Panorama program "Reinventing the Royals," goes into this. The program includes interviews with Charles' former press secretary Sandy Henney and author (and Charles fan) Penny Junor. Very interesting show.

    The ownership of Sophie's wedding tiara has been clarified by Angela Kelly in The Other Side of the Coin. She writes, "From that point on, Mr. Collins [Harry Collins, G.

    Education of Lady Louise and the Earl of Wessex

    As I recall, the documentary "Reinventing the Royals" includes interviews with a member of the camera crew accused of following William at St. Andrews.

    Last Hours, Death, Transfer from France, Funeral and Interment

    I was watching some Youtube program that focused on the background/publication of Diana: Her True Story by Andrew Morton. I had always thought poorly of Morton when he re-released the book after her death. Well, this show clarified that Morton's publishers wanted the book re-released (with...

    Last Hours, Death, Transfer from France, Funeral and Interment

    I do agree with much of what you've stated, except that I've always believed that the "grey suits" at BP were the ones who got it wrong. Blair was batting clean up and took advantage. As I recall, the first "people's princess" reference actually was in Andrew Morton's 1990 book Diana's...
