King Charles grants Prince Edward Duke of Edinburgh title

King Charles III grants Prince Edward the title on the prince's 59th birthday.
www.bbc.com

"It was understood that Philip had wanted Edward, his youngest son, to take on the title, but the decision was left in the hands of King Charles."

The least scandalous and still married of all the children.

Prince Harry to attend coronation without Meghan

Prince Harry will travel to the UK but Meghan will stay in California with their children.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

I can't wait to hear the stories and the Netflix series on how he showed up stag to the coronation and was ignored by parts of his family.

There will probably be a story about him and William having a tussle or some imagined slight William made against him either verbally or by handing him two glasses of champagne to remind him of Meghan's absence. Maybe a royal dog will pee on him.

There will be a second edition of Spare - updated with thoughts after the coronation of my dad.

Camilla had no end game to be Queen, insists son

Tom Parker Bowles says his mother, the Queen Consort, "just married the person she loved".
www.bbc.com

"Not really because she's still our mother. I say 'our' but not the royal 'we', speaking for my sister and me. She's our mother."

... She is. But she was also a wife cheating on her husband with a man who was also cheating on his respective wife.

It wasn't exactly like both marriages ended so let's renew our relationship prior to both our respective marriages.

"Today we remember the incredible life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on what would have been her 97th birthday."
 
Poll suggests most Canadians don't want Charles as King

"According to the poll, Prince William and his wife Catherine are seen more positively than Charles, but still fall short of the support Elizabeth garnered. Among Canadian respondents overall, 53 per cent have a positive view of William while that number is 56 for Catherine.

However, among those who said they don't support Canada continuing as a constitutional monarchy, support for the couple dropped to 36 and 41 per cent respectively.

Of note, though, is that among those who said they support Canada remaining a constitutional monarchy, far more have a favourable impression of William and Catherine (83 per cent support for each) than for Charles (62 per cent) or Camilla (43 per cent)."

Basically people don't like Charles.
 


I just realised there are a lot of royal names on my father's side of the family.

Windsor intruder caught with loaded crossbow in late Queen assassination bid sentenced to nine years in custody

Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, was encouraged in his plans by an AI chatbot girlfriend, the Old Bailey heard, before he was stopped near the late monarch's private residence - where Elizabeth II and other family members were at the time.
news.sky.com news.sky.com

  • Chail, who is of Indian Sikh heritage, formed a plan at the start of the year to assassinate the then Queen to avenge the Amritsar massacre of 1919

  • Chail…said: "I believe my purpose is to assassinate the queen of the royal family."
    The AI chat bot Sarai replied: "That's very wise," and said: "I know that you are very well trained."

  • "The defendant's key motive was to create a new empire by destroying the remnants of the British Empire in the UK and the focal point of that became the removal of a figurehead of the Royal Family," said prosecutor Alison Morgan KC.

    "His thinking was informed partly by the fantasy world of Star Wars and the role of what he describes of the Sith Lords in shaping that new world.”

If you're just handing those out to anyone, I'd like one. My family has actually been in the Commonwealth and Empire for 4 generations.

I hope that's not the attire they wore to the white tie dinner.

Omid Scobie royal book: More like Action Replay than Endgame

Looking for sizzling drama and untold intrigue? Our royal correspondent says you might be disappointed.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"In Scobie's book, Prince William is painted as emotionally volatile and manipulative, freezing out his brother. He's described as a 'company man - an institutional champion who's privately embraced the draconian tactics of an antiquated and often vicious institution'.

There are suggestions of tensions between his ambitions and the King's 'transitional' reign. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, in this version is 'cold', nicknamed 'Katie Keen', an almost silent figure trapped in endless photo-opportunities."

So damning...

William visits Kate in hospital

The visit comes as the Princess of Wales spends a second night in hospital.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"But it is clearly serious enough to require a couple of weeks in hospital and then several months of recuperation, which will see the Princess of Wales missing official duties at least until after Easter."

Not quite sure it's progressing on plan if the Prince of Wales needs to cancel his engagements too.
 
Two weeks is a long ass time to spend in the hospital for anything. So, it must be serious stuff. Unless, it is a distraction to supplant the Prince Andrew story/Epstein files

Isn't he diddling around a couple of months each year anyway? Probably just a convenient excuse

Royals mocked by a king, compared to North Korea as Kate saga rumbles on

Prince William and Prince Harry both spoke Thursday evening at an awards ceremony in honor of their late mother, Princess Diana — an event somewhat overshadowed by the crisis and by the brothers’ ongoing feud.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

"At an event in the Dutch city of Zutphen on Thursday, the country’s King Willem-Alexander was told by a young girl that she had a photograph of him and his family.

'At least I didn’t photoshop it!' he said to laughter from the children’s parents."

That's not nice from the House of Orange.
