@kelvmackenzie @piersmorgan Exactly

@itvnews 1. He is scapegoating the King to deflect his own guilt over Diana.
2. He is working in collaboration with Henry and Markle. 3. His memory appears selective.
4. He accuses the King of thing he has done himself... thrice over
5. He's a traitor and a rat.

@DrRebeccaTidy @CharleneBouche Nothing surprises me about him. His pocketing of the money from the law firm involved in prosecuting the Post Office managers. Tells me all I need to know about him.

@DrRebeccaTidy @CharleneBouche Exactly. He’s so out of touch with Cornwall

September 22, 1944. The bridge at Arnhem is lost, and now the last act of Market Garden plays out a few miles to the west, where the survivors of the British 1st Airborne are surrounded in a shrinking pocket and simply trying to stay alive long enough to be pulled out. This is "Black Friday" and the grim days around it, when the great operation finishes not with a breakthrough but with a division fighting for its existence.

After Frost's men at the bridge were overwhelmed the day before, what remained of the British airborne division had been squeezed into a small perimeter around the village of Oosterbeek, on the north bank of the Lower Rhine. They had gone in ten thousand strong. Now a few thousand exhausted, hungry, ammunition-starved men held a pocket a mile or so across, pounded ceaselessly by German artillery, mortars, tanks, and self-propelled guns, with the river at their backs.

They hung on with extraordinary stubbornness in the ruins of houses and gardens, in slit trenches, around a hotel called the Hartenstein that served as division headquarters, fighting off attacks from every direction. The Germans, now in overwhelming strength with armor the paratroopers could not match, chewed at the perimeter day and night. The one hope was that XXX Corps, finally across the Waal at Nijmegen, would reach the south bank of the Rhine and get relief or reinforcement across to them. But the Germans held the river line hard, and the Polish paratroopers who had dropped south of the river to help could not get across in any strength either.

There was to be no rescue and no breakthrough. Over these days it became clear that the pocket could not be relieved, only evacuated. On the night of the 25th into the 26th, under cover of darkness and rain, the survivors were finally ferried back across the Rhine in small boats, faces blackened, boots muffled, slipping away from an enemy who did not realize until morning that the pocket was emptying. Only about two thousand of the ten thousand came back. The rest were dead, wounded, or prisoners.

So the 22nd finds the operation already decided and the fighting reduced to endurance, a surrounded division holding a village and waiting for a relief that will never come, before the last survivors are pulled out across the river. Market Garden was over. The bold gamble to leap the Rhine and end the war by Christmas had failed, and the price was a shattered airborne division and a salient that led nowhere, a finger of captured ground pointing at a bridge the Allies never got to keep.

@PatrickChristys Why have her on?

This is what rock bottom aristocratic desperation looks like: pimping out your dead sister’s resting place for a People magazine photo shoot.

🚨NEWS: The BBC have removed a number of sketches by Mitchell & Webb as they are now deemed offensive

This sketch which features a Burqa and Blackface purposefully to make fun of how offended people get has now been ironically axed, because people may be offended.

@DailyTPodcast @CamillaTominey @timothy_stanley Not for me.

THE CHARLES SPENCER FILES: WIFE NUMBER THREE

After two failed marriages and six children, Charles Spencer married for a third time.

Karen Gordon, born Karen Villeneuve, was a Canadian social entrepreneur and the founder of Whole Child International, an organisation dedicated to improving the care of vulnerable children. She also had two daughters from a previous marriage.

Charles and Karen married at Althorp on 18 June 2011. Their daughter, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, was born in July 2012, with “Diana” chosen in memory of Charles’s sister.

Karen did not merely acquire a title and pose beside the Earl. She devoted years to Althorp, documenting its history, overseeing restoration projects and helping bring the estate to life for the public. She stood beside Charles while he confronted the childhood trauma described in his memoir A Very Private School.

Then, after nearly thirteen years of marriage, the familiar Spencer pattern returned.

In April 2024, Charles reportedly informed Althorp staff that the marriage was ending. When the separation became public that June, Karen said she was “just processing” what had happened.

By then, another woman was already part of Charles’s life: Norwegian archaeologist Cat Jarman. She had met Charles at Althorp in 2021, worked on archaeological projects at the estate and later became his podcast co-host.

Charles and Cat maintained that their relationship remained platonic until March 2024. However, allegations of an affair emerged during the bitter divorce proceedings, and both denied them.

What followed was not a dignified private separation but an extraordinary legal battle. Cat sued Karen over the alleged disclosure of Cat’s multiple-sclerosis diagnosis. Karen denied wrongdoing, and the eventual settlement involved no admission of liability. The court proceedings revealed legal costs exceeding £2 million—and Charles was required to cover the settlement and indemnify Karen for the related costs.

Charles and Karen’s divorce was finalised in December 2025.

Five months later, in May 2026, Charles married Cat Jarman—wife number four.

So once again, a woman entered Althorp, supported Charles, raised a child with him and invested years of her life in his family home. Once again, the marriage ended amid reports involving another woman. And once again, Charles quickly moved forward while an ex-wife was left to deal with the emotional and legal wreckage.

Victoria. Caroline. Karen.

Different women. Different decades. A remarkably familiar ending.

Yet Charles Spencer now wants to lecture the King and publicly judge other people’s marriages, grief and family relationships. Perhaps he should explain why the same destruction has followed him through three marriages before presenting himself as anyone’s moral authority.
