Another sign that relations are improving: a shared activity!

 

[fabaunty]

I believe that relations have thawed to such an extent that the Crown Prince has already designated part of the Royal Palace as a permanent home for his sons and their families . I read the official statement on the Royal Musings website .

I believe that relations have thawed to such an extent that the Crown Prince has already designated part of the Royal Palace as a permanent home for his sons and their families . I read the official statement on the Royal Musings website .

I missed that news as I was travelling:

royalmusings shared both the initial announcement and Philip's response to that:
Announcement: Crown Prince Alexander's sons to live on Royal Compound
Response: Hereditary Prince Philip's response to official announcement

Philip's response highlights that it was their childhood home that has now been made available for him, his brothers and their immediate families. In practice, I suppose that Philip might start living there, while there will be guest accommodations for his brothers who live elsewhere.

Quite a political speech but I assume all attendees agreed on the issue of Kosovo:

I know that anger is a sin, but I must confess – I am angry. I am angry and hurt because Your Holiness and the Bishops were not allowed to enter our Holy Land, our Kosovo and Metohija. But, after every suffering salvation comes, after Golgotha comes Resurrection. That is why I am sure that this injustice will be solved, and that you, Your Holiness together with all the Bishops, will once again be with our people in Kosovo, to bring them comfort and hope. And that the basic rights of Serbs will be finally honoured. Our people deserve to live and must live!
