Charles is Charles Philip Arthur George as well....

I spoke at a conference he was giving the keynote at. The keynote ROCKED (it was about reading, and his mother), and he was so gracious and generous with his time in the speaker’s room. He’s wonderful.

And what if, after the 4th or 5th little tip-let, they start getting paranoid they’re not going to find it all?

Yeah...no. Apparently the timeline is all wrong - Hewitt wasn’t involved with Diana till Harry was around 3. Additionally, there’s red hair on her side of the family going way back. And...Harry’s the spitting image of a young Prince Philip. Who...also was something of a ginger.

I binged on Call the Midwife, Jessica Jones, and watched features about and with women (Spy, Heat, that Thatcher movie with Meryl Streep, etc.).
