I’ve lived in the UK for almost 20 years, am married to an English guy, and have been a naturalised citizen for 12. There’s some truth in what you say, especially with respect to aristocrats and upper middle class people. But my experience in London as part of an international crowd, that includes many Brits but also…

Oh no, Harry is sixth in line to the throne, there’s no pressure on him to reproduce. But he clearly has baby fever, and she must have known that when they agreed to get married, so I’m pretty sure she’ll have a child sooner or later (probably sooner).
I’m sure it was no picnic for Kate to do what she did, but the royals are not monsters. When Sophie (Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward’s wife) had her daughter Louise, she had a placental abruption and an emergency c-section. She was not required to do this. If (God forbid) Meghan has difficult births, she will be…
I’ve seen it here in London. It’s a pretty standard jukebox musical, but Adrienne Warren is absolutely fantastic and just channels Tina. Anyone seeing her is in for a treat.
Totally agree. I was a hard core skeptic of the changes, but the new cast did a good job (even Noel, I thought) and the essence of the programme remains unchanged. Funnily enough, I really warmed to Prue at the very end, when she accidentally tweeted the winner’s name early and was clearly devastated.
I know this is a jokey comment, but the royals can’t pull strings to give foreigners permission to live in the UK. Meghan came in on a fiancée visa and is here on a spouse visa like anyone else.
I get so annoyed with Meghan’s hair police. It’s racist, for a start - her hair is never going to behave like Kate’s.
Meghan looked absolutely delighted at Wimbledon on Saturday. She seems fine. And the address of Kensington Palace is very easy to find. Its post code is W8 4PU.
I have tickets for tomorrow. I hope this match carries on forever. If we get Nadal-Djokovic and Williams-Kerber, all of my Christmases will have come at once.
If the Queen missed it to set up “being ill” when Trump gets here later in the week, literally no one would blame her.
The only thing that was better than this was watching Russia lose the hockey in Sochi.
England’s going to England its way to the World Cup. And it will be the worst thing ever, because it will ensure a hard Brexit. It will be the most England thing ever to happen.
Imagine if Quebec had a separate hockey team from the rest of Canada. It would be delightful.
Agatha Christie is a powerful and vastly under-appreciated writer. Her understanding of the human condition is on a par with that of Shakespeare, and I am not kidding. No one (apart from Margaret Atwood) has written more aptly about the naive cruelty of teenaged girls, to name but one aspect of her writing.
We have sweet, quiet killer boys in the UK too. And in Canada, France, Germany etc. It’s just harder for them to kill people in other countries, because of the guns. It would really be most productive to take the guns away. Please keep trying to take the guns away. (I know you know this. But it’s worth repeating).
George looks so much happier than he did in the church. Nice to see.
The security was extremely subtle and well controlled. They set up a perimeter around Windsor, and in order to get inside the perimeter you had to pass through airport-style security. But the perimeter was big enough that if you were inside, there was a fair amount of space.
Yup. I can’t believe there’s been this whole discussion and no mention of Kanga. Camilla was never Charles’s only mistress. It’s all been retconned into some great love affair.
