... and that's the massive difference between Kate/Wills and Meghan/Harry and why the former are greatly admired and the latter are very much not.

I was smiling at your over reaction….it’s hardly ‘shocking’ unless you are naive enough to think this stuff has never happened before

How dramatic.

As I've said before, no -one cares what Meghan does with her feet, it’s the s*** that comes out of her mouth that is the problem.

Hardly a personal attack by insinuating you are naive to think this stuff does not go on….

The cash thing stinks a bit to me. It was paid into the PWCF but not mentioned in the accounts if I understand that correctly? Seems fishy to me. Sure it happens a lot but any donations should be completely auditable surely? His charity fund also finances his Scottish estate....so where did that money go?

You post this like it's some sort of excuse, it's not. It doesn't seem you find it all that foolish if you're aware of this going on and yet still support Charles.

I don’t understand why he would take it in that way, he can’t be short of cash plus it was in euros
