I just want to mention that, a few years ago, I read in a British newspaper (don't remember which one) that at some Diana-anniversary, when William went through old photographs with the guests he asked one of them how his mother was because he could hardly remember her. ?
My store continues to have an excellent third quarter - Harry is certainly helping!
The British public did not get a say in whether the Queen would get a jubilee celebration. It was simply done. Plenty of people thought the money wasted on a celebration like that could have been put to much better use especially post covid.
I honestly would not be surprised if they presented Best Picture at the Oscars this year. I mean, they've had Michelle Obama do it, so why not Harry and/or Meghan?Forget about him writing more books--his career as a "personality" won't be complete until he does a home renovation tv series, preferably for a deserving charitable cause. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
@Karen-W probably thinks Meg is the only person to cut an ex-husband out of her life. Or people who have stabbed her in the back. But I think
Fantastic piece---I love her review and her conclusions.
There was an article I read long ago about a couple who had a second child (chosen through testing IVF embryos? I don't quite remember) specifically so that child could provide something biological their older child medically needed. I remember being horrified that any child should grow up knowing that a key part of their origin story was something like that.
I am not saying to renounce the family, but only the institute. Princess Anne has renounced titles for her children, but they remain part of the family and can still claim the throne.
Excellent story by Ursula K. LeGuin. Set in the same universe as her novel The Dispossessed.
Those confessions have been reported on for ages. Nothing new here.
I think he came across as warm and funny and reasonably smart. The part where Cobert asked him about his frostbite member was hysterical and I learned something about dressing for a trip to the Arctic.
I agree, the Colbert interview was pretty much a home run. Colbert shares a history of having lost a parent while young, which made for some terrific sharing. Harry seems to be getting a feel for American audiences. The extended interview is up on YouTube.
Haven't we all though? I've heard some murmurings about Meghan doing this but haven't seen anything concrete.
Nah, as an adult with childhood trauma, I would say that compartmentalization is my superpower.

Oh, but the press are making bank on this, too. Outrage and indignation sells all around.
Harry seems to say that Charles did try, and he acknowledges that Charles was ill-equipped to be a single dad and that it would be difficult for any parent in his position. It does seem, however, that Charles was largely absent. Even on breaks from boarding school, Harry sometimes wasn't with Charles. Charles didn't come with Harry the second time he went to Africa. A nanny did. And, at that time, William didn't want to spend time with his baby brother. When Harry discusses the notes Charles left for him, it seems as if Harry wishes that Charles had said those things out loud to him. Their in-person interactions, such as at dinner, sometimes seemed pretty formal. And, Harry clearly would have preferred it if Charles did something different with him rather than take him to see Shakespeare plays. But, I don't get the sense that Harry is mad about how Charles treated him as a kid after Diana died (aside from Camilla and tabloid issues). He just seems a bit sad that he was largely left alone to deal with his grief at a tender age. He did seem to relish time alone with Charles.
