    A coming solar storm could trigger a global blackout, scientists warn

    I read a fictional book about this last year. It really scared me because the gist was that this could actually happen. Some people had a warning & were able to stock pile canned food & cut firewood to survive especially in small towns with access to trees. The blackout lasted about a year...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    The tiara that Princess Eugenie wore for her wedding had never before or since seen in public so of course Camilla had to wear it today. All I will say is it looked much better on Eugenie.

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    I did, & I'm still not convinced. He's one person in a long illustrious career & has been painted as someone who tried to get close to Perry in order to set up a scam. Plus I had never heard of him. He seems to be a Jesse Smollett type.

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    I have never seen a whisper of ugly rumors about him. Most stories are about how kind he is. Can you elaborate? I don't think it really matters about the Line of Succession. Andrew is too far removed to ever become king.

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    William wants to, if what I read is correct.

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    My understanding is that money is long gone. Otherwise one would think he would spend some money on upkeep. But I think William is a pill. He's pushing Charles to do things that he needs to wait until Charles is gone. QE2 didn't have to put up with Charles nagging her & with Charles sick...

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    I don't believe Andrew is paying for all or any of the upkeep on Royal Lodge. Charles tried to boot him out of there a couple of times but in the past he has always caved & paid. He should be dragged out of there kicking & screaming if that's what it takes. I read an article this morning that...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    @Karen-W: Meghan and Harry both wanted to be the star of the "show" instead of supporting players. Of course you went inside their heads & know exactly what they wanted. Maybe they (esp Meghan) didn't want to be hounded & vilified.

    Why would that have been bad? Yes, the ventures would be vetted to make sure they weren't going to harm the RF but that goes back into what I said about living their own lives. I think by that time QEII was so used to controlling everything that she just didn't consider allowing it. As for...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    At the time (and still) I thought the worst thing about the RF was the fact that none of them were allowed to live their life as they wished. Why did QE2 have any input on Margaret's life or who she married? Why not allow the 1/2 in & 1/2 life H&M wanted? Did she think Meghan's nationality...

    And you're basing your belief that Kate doesn't shudder on ...., nothing? btw that wasn't the only article saying the same thing.

    It turned out to be an easy google so I'm posting Kate's shudder here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/kate-middleton-shudders-hears-meghan-31517776 BTW this wasn't the only reference I found.

    @marbri, yes I'm referring to the Levy interview. @Karen-W, that was 3 or 4 years ago so I'm not going to search for it. Believe it or don't, I don't care.

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    BRF silent on the Sussex activities? What about Kate's shudder on hearing Meghan's name? What about William's absolute refusal to even speak Harry's name or consider ever speaking to him again in the last 2 yrs? He recently said Harry & I (it should be Harry & me) when discussing how they were...
