School the boy how they like. Don't think private education did much for Harry. Had to get special help to scrape 2 A levels. This financial business is obviously heavily reliant on who they are hence the numerous trademarks they have registered. Royal family want to keep her sweet. Let's...

Have I missed something? Wasn't a similar hotel scheme on judd's Lane just rejected? How could Wasps get planning permission if the 1st scheme was rejected? That would have court action written all over it

Not so sure. A lot of critics on both sides of the Commons. Also since the 2018 reform not so easy for a govt to do. 15 year terms for appointed peers, "2 out, 1 in". Aim was to get the number down to a cap of 600 members

had a look - negative story the Mail, positive story the Express.

wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson go after the Lords. Time has come for a massive look at the Lords. A 2nd house is fine to balance a democracy but not one that's based family, religious positions or basically "grace & favour appointments depending on who is in govt".

is this from the same newspaper?

Let's be honest if we post every crazy thing he says in a single year and it'll be even bigger than the Brexit thread :)

Was some marketing guru on sky news who claims they'll make 500m in the 1st year alone.

Seems to think he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize this year. His delusions of grandeur are truly mind blowing. In the future they are going have to have the mental equivalent of a Napóleon complex and name it after him.

Yep. Don't see any seats being left uncontested in assembly elections

Sketchy majority due to alliance candidate pacts in certain seats. Shouldn't be seen as a referendum on reunification. No one is going to consider reuniting Ireland until they can find a way to appease/reassure large numbers of Unionists. Also depends a lot on trade talks and what impact it...

That's more my point. As they get further from the throne the more they fade from the media spotlight. People don't really worry too much about what Anne's kids are up to (although i see Zara just been banned from driving :) ). can people name Edward's kids without googling? Megan is a TV...

yep getting ahead of myself :)

There you go another 2nd in-line that had a colourful history and then faded into the background. Harry obviously struggled with it. Maybe everyone needs to take a breath and focus on whether being 2nd in line but without a realistic chance of getting "promoted" effects Harry and his...

That's part of it. But surely the value of the titles (if they keep them :) ) diminishes if they are setting themselves outside of the Royal family? They aren't anywhere bigger than the institution. And it's going to be interesting watching the American media behave with her publicity hungry...

Seriously think that it will gradually die down once they relocate overseas. Focus just even more on William & Kate and their kids. Did people really care about who was 6 & 7th in-line to the throne before Harry was born?

There is a "buyer beware" attached to Royal marriages. Diana didn't have plain sailing towards the end of her marriage and with the subsequent divorce.It was her tragic death that changed perceptions and has glossed over that period that preceded it. Sarah Ferguson never had a particularly...

But it's the same people that have "off" views on everything. Every big story brings out the Internet haters. Can just as easily say there's a 1000 negative comments out of a site that claims to have over 10 million visitors a day..

"Celebrities" often put in stories like these as people just don't care otherwise. Joe Public isn't interested that avocados are linked to the drug trade but throw in a celeb and people might read it. Famous people have fairly often been put in stories that highlight 3rd world sweatshops and...

Press and others used to think the nickname "Randy Andy" was amusing - what a lad etc. Not laughing so much now are they.
