 I don't care for them. I care about what this gruesome twosome :ymsick: have done to the Queen in her final years.
metoo. Especially as they have demonstrated what kind of privacy they had in mind, as a 'young family'.

Most parents are proud of the achievements of their children, and, whilst many choose not to document it daily with photographs of their progress on Facebook, the Sussexes seem to concentrate on not disclosing the milestones of whatever's his name.

Well, G-CPTN, you must be grossly mistaken. Everything is documented by noble deeds in his name.

... reached out to the Auckland-based organisation - which works on a buy one, give one model - to buy the products in their son's name, allowing 200 hats to be distributed to families in need next winter.

It's interesting though, how it is reported what they are planning to do, might do could do etc. If it's a media plan, then there's the danger some get bored before anything actually gets done?
(P.S. 'reached out to buy' - is it more noble than just 'bought' or 'purchased'?)

Thanks for pointing that out. I must be getting used to this nonsense as I glossed over it.

It's supposed to be more noble, but I think most thinking people see through this tripe. It's just a modern unwanted deviation from normal speech patterns that some think smart and more 'worthy'. It's one step worse than 'myself' for 'me' and 'yourself' for 'you' and a few other silly modern affectations considered more 'meaningful'. :ymsick:

Not sure which I think worse, going forward or reaching out.

I suppose have been going forward I might reach out for help having fallen into linguistic soup.

Ok, guys, - let's hold onto the lessons we've learned about how important it is to take care of one another, and how meaningful our connections are.

Are you suggesting that prince wokeness might be a bit of a hypocrite? I guess 'meaningful' can be quite a flexible word. ;))) :D :)) =))

And unless you are a member of the pop group The Four Tops, you should not even think of 'reaching out!" [-X

NO. No-no, definitely not, as said another prince. Andrew, I believe?

Andrew had nothing whatever to do with that girl in Ghislaine's house. :^o Nothing at all. His denial was backed up by some close friends of his who said those definitely weren't Andrew's fingers on her waist, so there, proof positive. Anyway he's decided he should take a back seat for a while after running royal affairs for so many years and spend more time with his family. :o)

Ginger and Nutmeg seem to have had a poor reception to their latest podcast. Harry has changed his accent to a more modern one - a cross between Estuary and Californian! :) https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/13 ... rrison-evg

Yes, but their Empowering English... by a mother and a son.
Harry and Meghan said in a joint statement on the website: 'I am my mother's son. And I am our son's mother.' However there was no mention or photo of Harry's father Prince Charles.
Not for us mere mortals to understand, probably.
Maybe after the "we unleash the power of compassion to drive systemic cultural change" has happened. :ymsick:
Systemic cultural change. Sounds ominous?
