That is precisely my point Alisa. Had she made different clothing choices then the criticism that inevitably came would have been muted, which I think you believe has happened. It didn't, she was roundly criticised on social media platforms and in other forums. Just because many people here...

I think Meghan missed another opportunity to garner some respect and prove her critics wrong. Any celebrity (whether royal, formerly-royal or non-royal) looking to polish their image with philanthropic tours to another country need to err on the side of caution. Had she made a point of wearing...

He's still a member of a foreign royal family, so diplomatically, I imagine that US officials would treat his application differently to your ordinary "Joe Blow" application. Which is of course the reason why questions have been asked.

Even celebrity cheque's get "lost in the mail", ha ha! :)

Well said Chen Bao Jun! The DNA perspective is certainly very interesting and anything but clear (clear as mud, as we say hereabouts!), but I certainly do envy those children their clearly traced paternal history. I haven't as yet had a DNA test done, instead relying on old fashioned research...

I must disagree with you on this one HenRach! In the business they are in (celebrity), they need to be acutely aware of the optics of a quasi-royal visit to a former British colony. This could all go downhill very quickly if they are seen as having an "all expenses paid" jaunt to a country...

I hope they were able to mark the occasion of their anniversary in a lovely way!

Yes! They also get a lot of clicks, a lot of comments, and a lot of money from their Sussex articles.

A statue has been unveiled of the late Queen Elizabeth II in Rutland. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-68870129 I think its lovely and I particularly like the inclusion of her corgi's, which adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise formal statue!

To put it plainly, its not what they know but who they are. Its all about the optics! ;)

Well done! I've been known to slip a mag or two over the top of Murdoch mag's too. RF Members united, ha ha!

I think it was important for William and Catherine to have the time to tell their children what it all meant, and to reassure them that she is getting the best of care and will be well. This also gives their children a little bit of emotional armour and the ability to deflect any fears that...

I do hope he will be well enough to visit!

It had to be serious enough to warrant such a long recovery period, and as it turns out, it is. Having been touched by this disease like so many people, I feel much empathy for Princess Catherine. I hope that now she has made a public statement, the media backs off and she and her family are...

I'm baffled at the stupidity of those people. I'm sure they were offered a massive financial incentive by someone, but honestly, how on earth did they think they could get away with it? Ridiculous.
