@HazelAppleyard If he’s eating healthy 95% of the time & exercising then there’s no problem
If he has no self control with food/doesn’t exercise then there’s a problem
It’s not just about conceiving. It’s about being there for your child’s life & not having a stroke/heart attack due to high BP
This whole situation makes the King look incredibly weak.
Forget the palace spin. Forget the headlines. Forget the public relations.
Your own son has to question whether it’s safe to bring his wife and children to the country he served in uniform.
Think about that for a second.
Prince Harry served his country in Afghanistan. He dedicated years of his life to public service. Yet here we are, once again, debating whether his family can safely visit the United Kingdom.
Their grandfather is the King.
Meanwhile, reports continue that King Charles is privately helping provide accommodations for his brother, Prince Andrew—a man whose association with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him helped create one of the biggest scandals the monarchy has faced in decades.
That’s the contrast people see.
You can debate constitutional limits. You can debate RAVEC. You can debate who technically signs off on security.
But leadership isn’t just about legal authority.
It’s about priorities.
And if your own son has to publicly wrestle with whether it’s safe to bring your grandchildren to their grandfather’s country, that reflects on the institution whether Buckingham Palace likes it or not.
I also can’t ignore the timing of all this.
Every day there’s another headline about uncertainty. Another story about security. Another anonymous briefing. Another round of speculation.
Then if Harry arrives with Meghan and the children under appropriate security, watch what happens.
Suddenly the headlines become:
“The King found a way.”
“The King extended an olive branch.”
“The King stepped in.”
That’s great public relations.
But I don’t think the palace—or the press pushing these narratives—realizes the flip side.
It doesn’t make the King look compassionate.
It makes people ask why it ever reached this point.
Why should there have been years of public uncertainty over the safety of the King’s own son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren?
You can spin that however you want.
To me, it doesn’t project strength.
It projects weakness.
It makes the institution look small.
And it makes the King look like a man who has never convincingly shown the world that protecting his own family is a priority. @RoyalFamily
@CallumLyon, happy to explain.
Abroad: 32°C, 30% humidity, sea breeze, air con everywhere, you're on holiday, nothing is your problem.
UK: 32°C, 85% humidity, no air con, no shade, trains cancelled, boss still expects you in, Pret sold out of cold drinks, bus smells of 40 strangers who also didn't sleep.
It's not the temperature. It's that the entire country was architecturally designed for a climate that no longer exists, and absolutely no one has done anything about it since 1987.
The science:
Your body cools itself through sweat evaporation. In 85% humidity, the sweat has nowhere to go. You are now essentially a slow cooker. A slow cooker that has to answer emails.
@KaiseratCB@sarahw1971 They are literally visiting UK because of Invictus.
If Invictus was being held elsewhere I doubt they’d be visiting.
It’s the RF that should be on their knees apologising.
@unlimited_ls I don’t know why hotels don’t ban this and enforce the ban.
I’ve seen people putting down towels in Mexico before they go to bed at night.
@Read_Meee A text takes less than 30 seconds. You can text someone while you’re on the toliet for gods sake and say happy birthday I’ll call you later.
Waiting until it’s practically evening is rude
@housewelf It’s not their wedding not yours. They don’t owe you any reasonings.
If you don’t like it do them a favor and don’t go.
60 people at our wedding were parents. Only 4 of those 60 when asked actually wanted their kids there. Everyone else wanted a weekend away without their kids
🚨(1)BREAKING: Christian community police officer wins settlement after being forced out of his role for questioning and criticising Islam during diversity training.
Luke Salmons, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was suspended for six months, forced to resign and put on a police barring list after he had questioned radical Islam in a training session.
He had been told that the session was a 'safe place' for discussion, but after expressing his beliefs, the consequences were devastating.
After taking legal action, his case has now been settled on confidential terms, however his story raises serious concerns about free speech and religious freedom in UK policing.
