Andrew is an adult and totally responsible for his own bad behaviour. I am personally sick of the blame the mother view so common now. Charles and Anne had a working mother and she had just taken on the mantle of Queen so she had to delegate much of their care but that is not too different...

I definitely think royalty should be held to a very high standard and I have no sympathy for Andrew at all but I am also very concerned about the "baby groupies" of the '70s. Some of these girls were really young - like 14 - and some millionaire rock stars are also pedophiles. I don't think...

I really feel for King Charles. I also feel concern for Princess Beatrice who seems to get thinner and thinner.

How much actual security does he have? If it is true that even Princess Anne only has royal protection when she is conducting visits on behalf of the monarch, he would not seem to qualify. I believe Royal Lodge is within the corridor of protected royal residences as are the horse riding trails...

Today on Palace Confidential Jo Elvin had only one guest, Andrew Lownie, the author of the newly published "The Rise and Fall of the House of York". It was a no holds barred program and one thing that I found interesting was the strong opinion the author had that at least Andrew will actually...

I am not for hiding the negative but I am uncomfortable with the expose` type where one person has their say and allegations are made, those accused do not have the same opportunity, we really don't know the context nor have any idea about the big picture but we make a judgement. I view long...

There is so much now on record about the bad practices and harmful training techniques, I wish more skaters would include more about the positive ones and what worked for them. For example, there is a lot of pressure on weight and size, especially for females, but not everyone developed an...

Well, I can't find it so who knows whether it is factual or not. As I recall, she was mostly complimentary and said ice dance had been missing a team of that calibre. She also seemed to indicate she did not think they would win the olympic gold.

I know my interest in figure skating means my algorithms show me lots of comments and articles but I have been bombarded with stuff about the Italians displeasure with the judging in France. It seems everyone is getting in on it, including Tarasova, and even mainstream publications not usually...

For me, LFB/GC's free dance goes by so fast - even with rewatching. I can hardly believe it is 4 minutes long. Also, I am barely aware of the technical elements they seem so well incorporated into the overall feel of the program.

I have been a huge fan of Laurence for a long time and today I found her mesmerizing. I love Piper and Paul and respect and enjoy Madison and Evan but they have their work cut out for them. IAM has assembled a group of immensely talented coaching and other specialists and this year they...

Some royal watchers think the Counsellor of State is a big deal but I have also read that it would never go to a non-working royal and if Prince William was unavailable then that would mean Princess Anne or Prince Edward.

The two remaining big ones are both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are currently "Counsellors of State" which qualifies them to step in for the king should the situation necessitate it. I believe King Charles added to the list within the last few years by including his sister Anne and brother...

I don't really understand exactly what kind of security Harry wants. I believe when they first made the move to Canada they were IPP or "internationally protected persons" which entitled them to security provided by the special unit of the RCMP reserved for presidents, prime ministers, heads of...

Ah - JD Robb - who wouldn't like to have a gorgeous, billionaire Irishman head over heels for you! I always get her books on audible so I can hear Roarke's accent.
