The house!
What was wrong with it?I think William and Catherine are not getting good guidance. Catherine at the piano was wrong. It was off-putting. They need better people guiding them.
Oof! That's quite a lot of rewards, isn't it? I guess retiring as a Private Secretary is a much better deal than retiring as a Dresser ? Or would Sir Edward rather have received a house?

Its reported that he is very well liked in the RF and he also has a new girlfriend!What media seems to be missing is that the temporary equerries are usually rotated every 3:rd year… Johnny has been Charles equerry since 2020, and was most likely scheduled to leave that position last year but got an extention… Now he has obviously got a new job within the royal household instead so he is clearly well liked…
Sad news! The Airlies were such a constant presence throughout the reign of the late Queen. I was glad to see them present at Charles’s coronation too.King Charles pays tribute to Lady Airlie following news of her death
The King has expressed his deep sadness at the death of Virginia Ogilvy, Countess of Airlie, one of the late Queen's dearest friends who has passed away at 91.www.dailymail.co.uk
Virginia Ogilvy, Countess of Airlie has passed away aged 91. She was the late Queen's Lady in Waiting from 1973 until HLMs death. She was an American and I recall often seen during state visits to and from America.
More than anything, Cohen says, the Queen had “no ego”, despite being one of the most famous women in the world. “It always struck me that in a world of celebrity, where we had all sorts of celebrities coming into the palace, the Queen was the antithesis of celebrity,” she says. “She was the maestro. She understood this was her role. She took it very seriously and performed it to perfection. But she knew it was separate to her as a person. She was never intoxicated by the allure, never showed off, was never tempted to preen. I loved that so much about her, because she had no ego.”
His Majesty was received at the Airport by the Lord Parker of Minsmere (Lord Chamberlain) and the Lord Benyon of Englefield (Lord Chamberlain designate).
