Again, that is a choice she made. An interesting choice for sure.

I think after all the debate on here it shows the reality....both sides of the discussion are correct in many ways. Meghan was not in a Muslim country or any other country where modesty laws or religion demand a more modest way of dress This was not an official royal tour so, in reality the...

I understand the potential political issues a State Visit would bring about but Royal Ascot should be safe IMO, I also think Trooping should go ahead, simply don't invite any politicians!

Yes, it was very neatly done- nice to see all (or nearly all) the cousins together for this and it definitely brought an element of "youth" back to the RF. But also well done to centre on William and the Gloucesters as the "working royals" for the most formal / ceremonial bits. As far as I can...

George is the Duke's godson, Louis is not. Doesn't mean it won't happen but that is why many are speculating George will get a role.

Interesting! What a good way to spend a public holiday.

I take it 20th is a holiday in Denmark otherwise it seems an odd day to do it, just after a weekend.

I've seen a lot of speculation George will have "a role" so I think it is certainly a possibility. I've also seen a lot of reports Charles won't be attending, he is at the D-Day commemorations the day before so it might well be a bit much for him to do both - though Charles is his godfather so...

It shows why they shouldn't do "tours" like this where they have to reply on others organising the logistics of it. Such tours are easier for RFs to pull off because they are able to rely on their Foreign Office / Foreign Ministry and Embassies in country. They aren't set up for it so shouldn't...

Hard to say really as its been a long time since we've had a "normal" year - the death of the late Queen, the coronation, Covid, the late Queen's declining health... In 2017 (perhaps the last normal year) the late Queen hosted 3 at Buckingham Palace and 1 at Holyrood in Edinburgh. However...

100% agree, I think, rather like the late Queen, they don't now announce his events ahead of time in case he isn't up to it on the day. Better he turns up at something without announcement than announcing then causing worry by having to cancel.

It did.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sunday-times-rich-list-2024-revealed-plt3t2xrt The annual Sunday Times Rich List - out this weekend - estimates the King's wealth at £610million (making him the =258th richest person in the UK) Interesting that not long before the coronation the Guardian...

Who knows the truth, I think we shouldn't judge or speculate until we know (if we ever do) what happened. Its possible the split from Lindsay was only announced once his relationship with Harriet was serious and likely to become public knowledge.

Honestly, don’t see this as news. Yes, her participation in the State Visit would be new but I suspect that would be soley for the banquet, and that would be new for her not new in principal, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent attended state banquets for years despite never being “working...
