Read that book as well and, agree, it was a slog.

I gave up on Cornwell a long time ago. Plots were nonsensical with weird stuff going on and too much of it; Kay, for all her intelligence and accomplishments, is a wimp - I just wanted to smack her upside the head sometimes; Lucy and Marino are downright unlikable. Couldn’t we just have a dead...

I’m sure stress played a part in the early death of QEII’s father but he also smoked like a fiend, hence his eventual death from lung cancer. Harry never struck me as the alpha type but Meghan does. I was happy for Harry when they married and wish they would have slowed down to give Meg a...

My question is why were Harry and Meghan so fixated on making money? Harry’s cousins appear to be doing well financially and, as far as I know, none of them have “jobs” except for Eugenie and Beatrice (and I wonder if they actually “work” full-time). They all also seem to have nice homes and...

Unfortunately with the whole body-of-work criteria, I don’t think there will be much suspense to naming the Olympic team.

I’ve read several books lately about QEII’s uncle, King Edward VIII, who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. I got the impression that, because of the shock and long-term consequences of his quitting, no member of the royal family will ever resign during their reign.

I must have missed it. Is Camden injured? And, frankly, I thought his chances of making the Olympic team were pretty slim anyway.

And the pairs short program starts at 3:30 a.m. my time. :wuzrobbed

Darn. I really liked her Lion King program.

I love the music from Riverdance. :shuffle:

Too bad Emily and Spencer have zero chemistry together.

I love Kate but I wish she would jazz up her style a little. I realize as future Queen she can’t take too many fashion risks (and she doesn’t seem like a risk taker anyway). She wore two beautiful suits recently - one blue and the other chartreuse - and wore the ubiquitous white blouse with...

Totally agree about Jason and “Old Friends.” That was terrible. So many other good S/G songs Tracy could have chosen.

I thought Charlotte’s dress and shoes were too frumpy and old-fashioned. Could she ever wear pants to a formal royal event or is that not done?

I’d love to see Chock and Bates skate to Moondance by Van Morrison. It’s such dancey and happy music and both of them have the ability to really sell it.
