If one wanted to be callous, let's not overlook the fact that both William and Harry were produced by demand for what has since been shown to be the world's most overlooked 'arranged' marriage. Like Bowie's 'Laughing Gnome' it's the elephant in the room many conveniently overlook. The fact that Charles followed protocol rather than having the nuts to follow his heart says a lot about him, IMHO...I think in the long run his serious failures have made the rest of the family look better and better. William seems like the absolute
picture of maturity and wisdom compared to him. Rumour that William and his father have run out of patience with that pair may or may not be true but if it is nobody will fault them for it.
I just wish she would dry up and blow away and take him with her. At this point it isnt all her fault...he owns the mess now too.
Haircuts... for a startA lot of things have changed in the world since Charles and Di went down the aisle. He did what he was brought up to do and I guess was the last one who followed the old rules. Time passes quickly and the current norm is far from what it was when I was a lad. Just sayin'...
Yet Edward turned out to be a damn good monarch - did some really good work to get the entente cordiale up and running, which was vital during the First Big Mistake, effectively isolating the Kaiser.Queen Victoria was less than thrilled with her son. He served nine years as king. Charles is the heir, let him serve his short reign and then back to a sovereign who will be there for a long while. Abdication is not a good look.
thread drift, but.... I saw a thing somewhere recently that mentioned Keith Emerson's Commando going for auction soon. Looked like a nice bike, an 850 with an electric start conversion....oooo..what a lucky man he wasss....

A babe she is.Well I don’t read all the gossip mags, but I do like Megan, if I’m misguided so be it she’s a babe.
