Camila has always been about these issues. She's been incredibly consistent through the years.

The Princess Royal presented the medals to the Women's Big Air Podium, Murase Kokomo (JPN), Zoi Sadowski Synnott (NZL), Yu Seungeun (KOR).

I heard King Charles got heckled at a recent walk and greet in the UK re Andrew. The gist was Andrew should be investigated and held to account; just stripping the royal title is not enough in some people's minds.

As Richard Kay said recently "some people will not be happy unless Andrew is beheaded". I thought that most recently there was an agreement that Andrew could be questioned without any interference from Buckingham Palace. I still read that Andrew is the one who still doesn't realize fully the situation he is in. I hope he does face questioning, especially for any underage girls that he was involved with.

That's what the legal system is for, not the King.

Reminder: there's a separate thread for no-longer-prince Andrew as the subject may be triggering for people.

Sorry! Thanks for the reminder!!

Late Queen Elizabeth Mimicked 'Silent' Melania Trump and Branded Donald Trump 'Very Rude,' New Book Claims

A new book claims Queen Elizabeth privately mocked Melania Trump as 'silent' and found Donald Trump 'very rude,' contrasting with his public praise and Mar-a-Lago tribute.

I would pay money to see Queen Elizabeth's Melania imitation.

Me too!! Good for her, always liked and respected the late Queen Elizabeth II..........she was quite correct in dubbing Trump as rude because he is ruse and more than that. Rude is a very mild term to describe Trump IMHO. I can think of oh so many more terrible adjectives to describe that man. HRH was in great company when she made the comment.
