Her podcast has provided a lot of information. By the time of the King's coronation, she knew there was likely something amiss as she'd had a mammogram and had to go in for a contrast dye mammogram, and then a biopsy. She also stated the breast cancer was not in the formation of a typical...

The impending retirement of the Kents is the end of an era. Once I observed Princess Michael wearing the same outfit, with the same hat, with only slight variations in jewelry, three events in a row, I had to wonder what was going on. She definitely seemed to be a bit unsettled on her feet at...

In order for Canada to remove the monarchy and become a republic, it would require amending the Constitution and requires the consent of every province and territory. For detailed reasons I won't go into here, it is a near impossibility to occur. When the Constitution Act 1982 was passed into...

I wonder if Beatrice will go for the name that was originally intended for her by Sarah when she was born: Annabelle.

A lawyer's job in a case like Prince Andrew's is to extricate the client in the fastest, least intrusive, and most certain way possible. That means you take every single opportunity for your client, even if it is a technicality like the service of originating pleadings. The argument that's...

Absolutely. The only person Sarah has ever really hurt is herself. After a certain age, there comes some kind of dignity in being able to bounce back and be resilient, as Sarah has been, and as demonstrated by these recent interviews.

The Telegraph interview was not cringeworthy like the People interview and that probably comes down to the final edit. Sarah wasn't drawn on controversial subjects, so she succeeded in avoiding saying anything controversial. The photographs are very nice. Whoever styled her should be her...

When I saw Beatrice step down *very* carefully out of the pew at Prince Philip's funeral, I knew she was pregnant. All best wishes to her for a healthy and happy pregnancy. I'm sure Fergie will be thrilled to have another grandchild - she strikes me as the kind of person made for being a...

Having read the entire report, and the appendixes, all of which is available on the BBC's reports site, I am left feeling sad for Diana and the members of the Royal Family and Diana's friends who were smeared by Bashir. There is no doubt that the meetings between Bashir and Diana negatively...

Prince Philip is one of those figures who pre-existed the start of my lifetime. To have lived into the hundredth year of a lifespan is something to be grateful for. I will, of course, be watching his funeral with interest and reflect on the statement Her Majesty made years ago, that we all owed...

Such wonderful news and so refreshing to have something happy occur in these troubled times. I'm sure Fergie is just over the moon. She will be a joyful granny.

You're quite right. Fergie looked just devastated at Diana's funeral. Fergie was at the Concert for Diana in 2007, so that's why I wondered.

The installation of the statue of Diana in the Sunken Garden will, I imagine, be limited based on where the UK/world is at with the Covid-19 pandemic. I do wonder if Fergie would make the cut? She is one of those people often fondly associated with Diana.

Lady Elizabeth Shakerley (I always knew of her by her professional name Lady Elizabeth Anson) was one of those figures often in the background of many an important royal event and often gave commentary in documentaries about The Queen. She was the soul of discretion and a very loyal friend to...

That's my point - if they lose they can use the old chestnut that they respect the Court's decision and don't wish to proceed further and withdraw their case. It gives them a reason to withdraw rather than doing it now for no apparent reason other than the perception by the tabloid press that...

That is my view of it as well. This is a strategic decision to keep witnesses and cross examination under oath out the equation. If the Sussexes lose on summary judgment, they can use the old chestnut "we respect the Court's decision" and put some PR spin and then it's over and Meghan, and her...

Yet more reason why this lawsuit needs to end NOW. She is losing at nearly every step of the way and there is going to come a point where Meghan, Omid, and her friends are all going to be examined under oath. It will not be pretty.

When clients start firing their lawyers it is a clear signal of a loss of confidence between the lawyer and the client. It is almost always a sign of weakness because it's a clear sign that something has gone awry in the lawyer/client relationship. The usual reason is that (as I suspect in...

It is not illegal to take paparazzi pictures in any Canadian province. The standard of privacy is whether someone would have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and activities in a public setting, like a park, are not subject to protection from privacy.

The kind of lovely news that we needed during this very trying year. Here's to a safe and healthy pregnancy, and a swift delivery, for Princess Eugenie and Jack. I'm sure Sarah is getting a monogramed handbag with 'Granny' embroidered on it as I type...

A PDF Link to the decision of Mr. Justice Welby: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/duchess-of-sussex-v-associated.pdf It is the correct decision. And as the Court held, it is an interim decision. The language in paragraphs 3 and 65 of the Court's decision show that the Court...

So far, what's been disclosed about Andrew in the Ghislaine Maxwell court documents is are all the same allegations, and I make the point they're allegations, and no hard documentary evidence whatsoever. Now, that doesn't mean that Andrew hasn't acted disgracefully. However, there is, so...

The loan of Queen Mary's Fringe and the Hartnell dress is very strong show of love and support. The flowers are incredibly beautiful. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are beaming in the photograph that's been published. Beatrice and Edo both look incredibly happy. A delightful surprise from...

Delighted for Beatrice. She will not regret having a much smaller wedding but with her grandparents present. And on the humorous side - I'm sure the DoE didn't mind having to physically distance from Sarah ;)

Meghan is the Claimant. At any point, she could withdraw her claim. There is little concrete evidence that either side has wanted to settle, but it is very clear that the Defendant, Associated Newspapers Limited, is not afraid of attacking the legal basis for this litigation at every point they...
