I must admit that the Mail article was obviously written for mail readers (whose basic maths might be 'below average'?)

£5.6 million (to support Charles 'capital expenditure and transfer to reserves' and two sons and families) reduced by £1.15 million suggests.......? I wonder who 'lost' the £1.15 million?

Far from enough detail in the article by 'Rebecca' to come to the assessment she proposes.

It must be hard for Charles to give money to the son of the man who was fcuking his wife.

Still, these royals are a plucky lot!

I think there is some legitimate doubt about Hairy's parentage. He does not look like Hewitt, his mother didn't meet Hewitt for over two years after Harry was conceived and finally his uncle, Diana's Spencer brother, also has red hair. I believed from a friend who was in the MOD at the time that they all 'knew' that Harry was Hewitt's son but I for one can see no real resemblance apart from the hair colour between the two of them, but much more facially between him and Charles.

It doesn't mean that Harry isn't acting like a donkey, but I think that is all MeGain's doing in this spirit of telling 'your truth' all the time so that you can be 'healed' and live a normal life thereafter. If she had persuaded him to quietly see a psychiatrist instead she would have done him some good. He was a fool to agree to all this nonsense and not realise that he would lose his own family in the process. That both princes needed help after the way they were humiliated and hurt by their warring selfish parents is beyond doubt. How the boys coped with Squidgeygate and Tampaxgate God knows, but Kate has helped William while MeGain has, for her own ends, completely screwed up Harry's life and I suspect that of their two children in the years to come.

I'm surprised some "investigative" journalist hasn't obtained DNA samples to put this issue to bed ( to coin a phrase ) forever. Can't be difficult in this day and age, however repulsive it might be.

Speedy - damned if they do and damned if they don't. If that was done it would further expose the RF to ridicule and the speculation will continue to haunt Harry if they don't. Oops - I was almost sympathetic towards him for a moment.

I believe Harry is currently in the UK, although it's been ignored by the media?

Not by the NZ Media. reported along with a photo of H.M. driving herself to Frogmore Cottage to see him. Thinks ? Isn't he supposed to be in self-isolation ? Maybe she talked to him through the bathroom door ?

ExSp, that's possible.

His presence was mentioned but with out a picture or story it's not news.

Indeed, I saw a snap of HM at the wheel of her motor car, but that's not the same as seeing pictures of the Ginger Twit after landing in the Blessed Isle. I suppose we have to wait until Friday.

I remember reading some time back that PP had supposedly had such a test performed.

Was that to establish Charles, Anne or Edward's parentage perchance?

Don't know what anyone else thinks but we consider 'the' statue be pretty awful.

That would be on Andrew who is the spitting image of his natural father. The older he gets: the more he resembles his actual father. I've passed him in the street in Ballater several times and the resemblance is quite striking.

Mrs OFSO, a sculptor of no small renown - I'm looking at a photograph on the bookshelves of her with Lady Diana - opined "the face is not too bad but the rest is rubbish".

He's the only one I've met in person, in his job as a DTI frontman, he came to visit my place of work once.

I met his father a couple of times at Cambridge airport. He had a PPL and was a very enthusiastic aviator. He loved to chat about things aviatorial. I guess he was a frequent visitor to Cambridge because it is quite close to Newmarket where there are several very high quality horse breeders and trainers.

He died on 11 Nov 2001. Reading between the lines of the Queen's message of sympathy to NYC and the US, it's clear that she was actually referring to Harry Porchester when she said something to the effect that the price of love is grief. It's not the sort of thing that she'd ever said in any other official messages, so I guess she was feeling his loss terribly.

His daughter was, for a while, a serious girlfriend of Andrew. Much consternation among the courtiers, no doubt, at the potential prospect of him breeding with her! It's a desperately shallow gene pool in that mostly German tribe anyway. They gently steered him towards that ginger thing with the arse like a country armchair as she's not family.

I'm not given to analysing Art but I've decided I like this statue.
I see it portraying womanliness, strength and confidence and a faint challenge: What are you going to do for the children?
Most interesting.
