    The Heads Together Campaign: Activities from April 2016

    Is this project actually part of the Heads Together campaign? Is it connected to The Royal Foundation? I've read reports and haven't seen them mentioned but probably have missed it. Anyone got a source?

    Relationships between Members of the British Royal Family

    I have not seen any reports that William questioned Meghan's suitability. I have seen speculation that he was concerned about the speed at which it was all happening. If that is true, it's understandable. My family asked if "I was sure" when I got married in less than a year of knowing my...

    The Duchess of Cambridge's Daytime Fashion Part 24: October 2018 - January 2019

    I agree! The colour is what used to be known in the UK as "Barely Black" - sheer, not quite black tights or stockings. Very popular and wnet with just about any colour winter clothing. Prefer to opaque.

    British Royal Christmas 1: 2008-2021

    Apparently not. Most of Windsor is made up of housing for officials and their families and the Royal Collection (ie the whole of the Round Tower plus elsewhere). They moved from Windsor to Sandringham because Windsor wasn't big enough ( source various biographies and media reports) I don't...

    Sussex Residences

    The building is Grade II listed which means that generally people can change the inside of the house. Changes to the back of the house can be made but usually should be "sympathetic" to the style of architecture. Planners are more strict about the front of the building and usually do not want...

    Meghan Markle's Wedding Tiara

    This is a wild guess but maybe (somehow) The Vladimir (Russian with emeralds) made its way onto a list or was requested by Meghan. The problem with ‘provenance’ could refer to the fact that its for use by Monarch/Q consort and therefore not available as a wedding tiara. It’s a stretch but just...

    Prince Andrew, Duke of York Current Events 7: Feb 2015 - Sep 2022

    The "Labour Group" is a section of the Students Union but I don't know how big it is so it could just be a minority. The Royal Family will follow Government policy so I don't see any change in the short term.

    death duties are paid on all the assets - it could run into millions and that is what happened to P Margarets children. by removing some of the assets to the Crown (which they would wear probably once or twice a year at the most, perhaps even less) then they reduce the overall debt. This is...

    Diana's Jewels: Potential Division Between William and Harry

    You make a valid point. Hereditary tax is currently 40% and I expect it to increase. This is the reason why PRincess MArgarets children had to sell so much of her possessions. Further down the list, people like the Kents, Glos or Snowdons work for a living. It's the possessions - the jewels...
