Daily Mail are reporting that he died at his parents' home.

If it's true that Harry genuinely wants to assist the King, he'll make a public apology to his family for all the insults he's thrown at them in interviews and in his book. He'll do everything possible to mend the rift between him and his brother. He'll eat humble pie and pledge to never again...

I love the gloves - it doesn't matter if she doesn't need them. I agree they'd look better in a different colour - I'd have gone for teal or scarlet.

Interesting question! I note that on the birth certificate of Prince George, his mother's occupation was listed as 'Princess of the United Kingdom'. That sounds like an official acknowledgment that Catherine is a princess. If Diana had a UK death certificate (is it more likely to be French?)...

The pinafore dress is a lovely shape - very flattering. I hate the blouse - it's too 'barmaid' for a Queen.

Are we allowed to mention her make-up because it's consistently awful! Her eyebrows are too dark, her mascara is clumpy and she needs a good lip liner. Whoever is doing it isn't very good at it!

He's everything we could wish for and more. He's a credit to the monarchy and his family.

Well of course people are boosted by a visit from someone famous, especially if it's one of the very popular royals or a celebrity. My point is that Princess Beatrice is relatively obscure and doesn't have high popularity so what's the point of her visiting a hospital when what the NHS...

I'm a royalist and I want the monarchy to survive, which is why I am so keen on modernisation and slimming down the working family. In 2013, 72% of 18-24 year olds wanted to keep the institution but in 2023, that had dropped to 36%. If the institution is to survive, it needs to show that it's...

I have nothing against Beatrice herself - she's always seemed very sweet to me but in 2024, do we really need outlying royals to visit hospitals? Staff are crying out for more staff, more equipment, more beds etc and patients want shorter waiting lists, more staff at A&E and more social care for...

It's not my definition, the essential tasks are the constitutional and ceremonial roles of the monarch eg Appointing Prime Ministers & Ministers; The Red Boxes; State Opening of Parliament; Privy Council meetings; Meeting ambassadors; Trooping the Colour; Remembrance Service; State events...

I completely agree. The size of the workload has been created to match the number of working royals. It can be shrunk considerably as those numbers wane. Princess Anne doesn't think it's a good idea to have fewer people but she's thinking about all the unofficial events they attend. From what...

Absolutely! It's far better to explain why he can't attend engagements than to let the media kill him off and bury him already.

Harry entered Clarence House at 14.45 and Charles left at 15.35 so it seems Harry flew from LA to have about 30-40 mins with his father. I wonder if Harry expected such a short time slot or whether he'll have an opportunity to see his father again before he heads home?

I think William and Catherine do enough and their workload will increase over time. Don't forget they won't have a retirement, they'll be working until they drop. What needs to change is the royal workload. If the number of patronages and unofficial visits become too great for the number of...
