Can we assume the royals knew this and stood aside while the attack dogs of the press savaged Meghan for distancing herself from Mr. Markle ?

John Healey, how can you consider budget cuts when Charles is getting another Β£50 million per year? #AbolishTheMonarchy

Of course his βfavouritesβ are all the most popular shows. Because this is all PR slop, not honest disclosure. If it was it would reveal a dull man with few interests.

Ex Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan ripped apart Margaret Thatcher's privatisation while she was doing it at a Tory Party conference, "Selling off the family silver" she's is just selling off the nations assets because she has run out of money.

Highgrove belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall, which belongs to the state. And the profiting and merchandising off your public position is a form of corruption.

Extraordinary word salad that essentially boils down to one monarch giving a meaningless title to another monarch. And the offices of the archbishop, palace and Vatican probably spent hours on this thinking it was important and meaningful.
Sheβs been complicit in covering up for Andrew.
The Queen joined leaders from the civil society and charity sector attending the Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Summit, reflecting Her Majestyβs longstanding commitment to tackling the issue.
The summit aims to bring together organisations working to address gender-based violence to inspire change at a national and local level.
π€ Her Majesty listened to speeches by Jess Phillips MP, on the target to halve violence against women and girls on a national level, followed by Dame Nicole Jacobs, on best practices to prevent and respond to Domestic Abuse.

Working class white boys highest group to drop out after GCSEs.
This is a growing national crisis.
Boys lag girls from nursery to university.
They are more likely to be socially isolated β suspended from the classroom, excluded from school, and checked out of the workforce.
Research even suggests that the much-vaunted gender pay gap has reversed for the younger generation, with young women outearning their young male peers.
More gravely, young men make up almost the entirety of the prison youth estate and are twice as likely to take their own life than girls.Β

BBC has role that is mere propaganda for establishment. Here the future King of UK is on a tv sofa saying we need to prove how progress is possible on climate crisis, whilst he and and his elite ilk have a carbon footprint 50 times that of average family

Only 7% support the Lords as it is.
Exclusive polling by YouGov for @SkyNews found 56% of the public support having a a wholly or mostly elected House of Lords - compared to just 17% who prefer the idea of a wholly or mostly appointed one. Only 7% support the current wholly appointed set up.

Should King Charles apologise for Britain's role in the slave trade?
The Commonwealth secretary-general has said it "wouldn't hurt", just days before His Majesty flies to meet Commonwealth leaders in the Caribbean.
Is an apology from the King needed?

Perhaps next, William could make a surprise appearance on Newsnight or Question Time, or somewhere else where he'll be asked challenging questions and held to account - as anyone in public life should be.
The 'impartial' BBC giving an uncontested platform to the monarchy. They really are a royal propaganda station. #AbolishTheMonarchy
