*Uncle-ish. He wasn't a sibling of either parent, just a distantish relative. I'm not even certain it was the Navy he was in but the point of the story still stands.
Well my favourite queen story is when the country lost their sh1t at her after Diana died and she refused to lower the flag, causing such reputational harm, that they had to get Helen Mirren to play her in a fiilm

I would be a hypocrite if i commented on this really, i wont pretend to care too much. I will say it's a shame for her family. She had a good innings and all that, lived a life of luxury, could of been worse.

i get where you are coming from, for me it's a historical moment, because it's the end of the royal family as we know it, it will never be the same again

Look im not looking for an argument, i can agree its a sad time for her family. She may have devoted her life, but she was rewarded EXTREMELY well. Like i said, it's a shame.

Plane just landed in Scotland with William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie embarking. Harry and Meghan were reported to be expected to be on it, but they were not. They must be making separate arrangements.

Harry has to travel from Germany though surely they can organise a plane from there straight to Aberdeen so why did the newsreaders assume Harry would be on the plane with William that wouldn't make sense

It will take about an hour for William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie to arrive at Balmoral. Charles, Camilla and Anne are already there.

So they could make a dig at Harry as usual, notice how they said something like "nobody will begrudge him seeing his grandmother"


I was thinking I should HOPE NOT, his grandmother is very ill . They glossed over Andrew travelling.
