Again, that is a choice she made. An interesting choice for sure.

I think after all the debate on here it shows the reality....both sides of the discussion are correct in many ways. Meghan was not in a Muslim country or any other country where modesty laws or religion demand a more modest way of dress This was not an official royal tour so, in reality the...

I understand the potential political issues a State Visit would bring about but Royal Ascot should be safe IMO, I also think Trooping should go ahead, simply don't invite any politicians!

Yes, it was very neatly done- nice to see all (or nearly all) the cousins together for this and it definitely brought an element of "youth" back to the RF. But also well done to centre on William and the Gloucesters as the "working royals" for the most formal / ceremonial bits. As far as I can...

George is the Duke's godson, Louis is not. Doesn't mean it won't happen but that is why many are speculating George will get a role.

Interesting! What a good way to spend a public holiday.

I take it 20th is a holiday in Denmark otherwise it seems an odd day to do it, just after a weekend.

I've seen a lot of speculation George will have "a role" so I think it is certainly a possibility. I've also seen a lot of reports Charles won't be attending, he is at the D-Day commemorations the day before so it might well be a bit much for him to do both - though Charles is his godfather so...

It shows why they shouldn't do "tours" like this where they have to reply on others organising the logistics of it. Such tours are easier for RFs to pull off because they are able to rely on their Foreign Office / Foreign Ministry and Embassies in country. They aren't set up for it so shouldn't...

Hard to say really as its been a long time since we've had a "normal" year - the death of the late Queen, the coronation, Covid, the late Queen's declining health... In 2017 (perhaps the last normal year) the late Queen hosted 3 at Buckingham Palace and 1 at Holyrood in Edinburgh. However...

100% agree, I think, rather like the late Queen, they don't now announce his events ahead of time in case he isn't up to it on the day. Better he turns up at something without announcement than announcing then causing worry by having to cancel.

It did.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sunday-times-rich-list-2024-revealed-plt3t2xrt The annual Sunday Times Rich List - out this weekend - estimates the King's wealth at £610million (making him the =258th richest person in the UK) Interesting that not long before the coronation the Guardian...

Who knows the truth, I think we shouldn't judge or speculate until we know (if we ever do) what happened. Its possible the split from Lindsay was only announced once his relationship with Harriet was serious and likely to become public knowledge.

Honestly, don’t see this as news. Yes, her participation in the State Visit would be new but I suspect that would be soley for the banquet, and that would be new for her not new in principal, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent attended state banquets for years despite never being “working...

This is a glimpse of exactly how they wanted their royal life to be that much is true…. Don’t forget just weeks ago Meghan launched her own brand (whose name I genuinely can never rememeber American Riviera…) and now she is getting alot of free PR thanks to Invictus and Nigeria paying for her...

Whilst they are free to do as they please, the Nigerian military is "less than clean", shall we say. The more I see the more I think it is going to come back and bite them.

https://archive.ph/KoDoE Fabulous article in the Telegraph following Princess Anne for a week of engagements

I don't get the fuss about no royals attending nor them meeting up when the date for the service was on the same date of the first garden party of the year (which for last few years have always been around this date and a Wed for the last four years they have occured) Put simply, it was a...

I have to say I'm stumped by this, is the plan she uses her official allowance to save up for a residence of her own? If so, surely that would be state property and not her own? It would seem more logical to say she is taking the personal part of her allowance and saving that up as that is her...

I'm confused, if the state provided her with a residence why does she need to save for a residence? Otherwise, I get as her roles increases she needs some of her allowance to pay for increased expenses and costs. Even if it is just some secretarial support in the background, it costs.

Yes tbf I agree. i’m obviously getting cynical in my old age and was surprised they didn’t have a new electric car to proudly display on the occasion. Not that they should…. Just that its the pr move i wouldn’t have been surprised by.

Wow, okay then. I'll just take that in for a bit 😲

I have to say no matter how traditional royal families might be, in this day and age having members of the royal family with immunity from the law is pretty outdated. Yes, the sovereign, like many other Heads of State, might need to be, but I don't see why other members of the family should be...

As per the Telegraph, around 200 organisations are going to loose their royal patronage after a review of patronages. The King is to take on around 300 more. https://archive.ph/hpH5v
