I did not write that you wrote "Queen Elisabeth said that there was peace and stability in Iraq and Afghanistan", but you wrote: ''The speech is pathetic. I wonder who wrote it. "Peace and stability" have been sorely missing in Iraq and Afghanistan.''

And then I thought (of course) that you meant/believed that the Queen said (no matter who wrote it) that there was peace and stability in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some father-son bonding yesterday. A terrific photo from People magazine of a joint engagement yesterday. Harry joined up with his father Prince Charles to award operational medals to soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Royal Gurkha Rifles at BP yesterday. Prince Charles is Colonel in Chief of the Royal Gurkhas. Father and son look so proud to be with these brave men.

Nice to see the pair together. It's not often that Charles can have an engagement with one or both of his sons.

Countessmeout · #88 03-14-2017, 11:49 PM

Great event, nice to see dad and son get to do an event together

I remember Harry in Nepal and his connection to the Gurkhas. I am sure it was something both father and son were happy to be part of.

Australia most definitely had separate representation at Versailles. Billy Hughes, our PM was there and insisted on getting things for Australia (the country with the highest casualty rate as a percentage of combatant nations and the only country to have an army of volunteers throughout the war - no conscription for us).
