I disagree - the way they were 'infiltrated' was disgusting and they deserve justice.

Under the freedom of information act lawyers want to see his visa application. If he didn't tick the drugs box he could be in the poo. If he did the authorities will be quizzed as to why he was allowed in.

Don't authorities have some room for judging applications?

Potential future tax revenues? I'm sure that would make them more likely to let him in. Also potential for plenty of employment opportunities for media people to stalk him.

They have still not confirmed if they are going to the bash. 1st April was the cut off. They are taking the piss. i still think that they will both be there with their film crew. Late return of RSVP should put them by the door or even outside being booed.

They are now well beyond their RSPV date. They want a place on the balcony and an apology, for what? How rude and uncivilised. If I was the King I would just say f them.

One of my ex-bosses was PMC and he made us write out all the invitations to the Battle of Britain cocktail party. Obviously we screwed up on a few so we just put 'bring a bottle' at the bottom of those and put them at the top of the pile. Well we thought that it was funny. He really lost his cool. =)) He was a complete tosser and couldn't fly. No idea what happened to him.

As in "not a pilot" or was a pilot but needed to be accompanied by someone who could?

Yes as a F/O I and another senior F/O had to accompany a certain exchange officer Captain from the USAF to be in command. They used to send us their dross. Whereas we sent them are best.

He was promoted most probably.

I think he was actually. Put in charge of a mahogany bomber. Safer for all.

The little tossers have still not replied to the invitation.

It is clear they consider themselves as too important to answer.

Maybe they will try the late arrival stunt a la the Platinum Jubilee service in order to have the cameras focusing on them. With a bit of luck, plod will stop them well short of the Abbey, tell them their invite has been cancelled and to far cough sharpish back from whence they came.

They just want everyone to talk about if they will be there or not. Which is happening. They want to generate attention when they are saying that they want no press coverage. The King really should put his foot down. The coppers have said they need 28 days notice to arrange security yet he says that he is concerned about security in the UK. They will be there with the Netflix cameras. They have to be seen to have a Royal connection.

Hurrah, he’s coming to daddy’s big bash;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65255135

Maybe he’ll stay on in the UK and get his lawyers to sort out the alimony money?

Don’t hold your breath though, the grip on th ‘nads is ever so tight!

So, she's staying in Montedeceito to look after the kids? Yeah right!

She's not wanting to miss out on an opportunity of pouting and strutting in front of the world's cameras at the Coronation - what's the odds on her suddenly changing her mind the day before?

As for the Ginger Whinger. Oh to be a fly on the wall at the family gathering at the Palace after the big event. I suspect several words will be had in his ears and not necessarily fortified through drink.

Wouldn't be surprised if he isn't on his way back to the airport before KCIII and HMQ have made it back to the palace in the gold coach after the ceremony.
