And also, Camilla wasn’t Charles’s only mistress. Kanga has been airbrushed from history.

You’re not wrong. The weather will probably be horrid. But in May you have the best chance you’ll ever have that it will be glorious. And there is nothing, and I mean nothing (weather-wise) better than a beautiful day in England in April or May (h/t Robert Browning).

Just look at images of Prince Philip as a young man and now. Noses change significantly for men, as do ears.

I adore them. And the people who compare her to Kate Middleton enrage me. Tessa Virtue has worked 12-14 hours pretty much every day for the past 20 years to get where she has. They both have pretty faces, but the resemblance stops there.

Aw come on! Crazy British women have to have some representation.

To be fair, Beatrice and Eugenie aren’t working royals. Eugenie definitely has an actual job. Beatrice had a job but doesn’t any more, I think. I feel sorry for her because she was very publicly dumped by her boyfriend of ten years last year, who then went on to get engaged a few months later. But I couldn’t agree…

Charles and Anne work the hardest, followed by Sophie, Edward, the Queen and Camilla. All of them work harder than William, Kate and Harry. Andrew actually does more engagements than any of the “young” ones, but I automatically discount those on grounds of general ew and self-serving. (Fergie’s not a royal any more).

I can’t blame them for seeking a bit of escapism, especially at the moment. The ones who I find weird are the ones who can’t bear to hear any criticism of Kate (and William, but mostly Kate). W&K are incredibly lazy.

I think that’s probably precisely why many Americans like them so much. The royals are very decorative and Americans don’t have to pay for them.

The idea is that if you don’t pay them the going rate commercially, they’ll leave for ITV or Sky or whichever commercial broadcaster will cough up. In some cases that’s true, and in others it’s crap. And in any event I think there’s probably enough presenting talent to go around, even if Chris Evans or Gary Lineker or…

Ideally someone who wouldn’t stand to make a big paycheque from a third SatC film, and who would have some vague pretence of being objective.

Graham Norton I have no problem with. But paying Gary Lineker £1.75m per year to present Match of the Day is ridiculous. People watch Match of the Day because of the football. Bing bunny could present it and they’d still watch. And Chris Evans’s salary is utterly ridiculous. Yes, 9.1 million people listen to his radio…

I do hope that Medvedeva gets an article in the New York Times tomorrow talking about how her skating is as “ethereal” as ballet. Because in her case it would be true.

I blame the Daily Mail (not kidding). They have been whipping their readers into a racist froth, and this is the predictable result. It is not OK to read it. It is despicable.

Look at how young, and scared, and brave she was:https://goo.gl/images/S8GmeL

She doesn’t do a lot (or even much) of work of any kind.

Nah that’s crap. Kate wears black all the time, as do Sophie and Camilla (and even the Queen).

I’m with you. Diana was doing groundbreaking AIDS work in the 1980s, long before her marriage broke up. None of you are old enough to remember this, but she held hands with AIDS victims when that really bloody meant something.

The first double jump was landed around 1925-1926, the first triple jump landed in competition was in 1952 (Dick Button) and the first quadruple jump landed in competition was in 1988 (Kurt Browning). On the theory that it takes 30-40 years to add a rotation (which I know is bullshit scientifically but might work) we…

Team Palmerston. Larry just gave the Mitsubishi CEO the cold shoulder, and we need all the trade we can get right now. https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/when-larry-the-cat-snubbed-mitsubishi-boss-kazuo-okamoto-outside-10-downing-street-1812521
