โจ 'The royal whose attitude her own most resembled was the late Queen Elizabeth II, who had long understood the essential nature of the job:
to turn up to public events looking the part, intuit precisely what was needed -

- and deliver it while keeping oneโs personal emotions on the back burner'
'This is what a monarchy demands,
and the ability to act as an impeccable interpreter of the public mood, year after year,
is a particular and testing art'
'A few have a natural aptitude for it, but most of us do not,
and would quickly find its scrutiny and restrictions intolerable'
'Grace under consistent pressure is an admirable quality.
Were a ballet dancer to execute a string of flawless performances,
or a pilot to conduct numerous flights without incident,
it would not be deemed evidence of an absence of character: quite the opposite'

Vean si el cielo no tiene resonancia con la tierraโฆ.
12/08 Sombra del Eclipse Solar atraviesa Espaรฑa.
Efectos antes y despuรฉs.
La sombra del eclipse solar del 12 de agosto en grado 20 de Leo atravesarรก gran parte de Espaรฑa.
En astrologรญa mundana, los territorios recorridos por la sombra suelen convertirse en escenarios centrales de los cambios, transformaciones simbolizados por el eclipse.
Al producirse en Leo, signo asociado a la realeza, lรญderes, reyes, presidentes. podrรญa seรฑalar una etapa de redefiniciรณn del liderazgo, la autoridad, la identidad nacional y las figuras que representan al paรญs.
Los incendios, la emergencia migratoria en Ceuta y las tensiones con Marruecos.
Al producirse en Leo, el eclipse puede poner en primer plano la autoridad, el liderazgo polรญtico, la identidad nacional y la manera en que Espaรฑa responde ante acontecimientos que conmueven y movilizan a toda la sociedad.
Para Espaรฑa podrรญa marcar un momento de redefiniciรณn de su identidad, su liderazgo o su representaciรณn institucional. Tambiรฉn podrรญa poner el foco sobre la Corona, el Gobierno, figuras pรบblicas importantes o acontecimientos capaces de movilizar fuertemente el orgullo y la emociรณn colectiva.
Ademรกs, simbรณlicamente resulta muy potente que el Sol โla autoridad, el centro y la figura soberanaโ sea ocultado momentรกneamente. Puede hablar de una crisis, transiciรณn o renovaciรณn del principio de autoridad: algo pierde centralidad, una figura queda cuestionada o se abre un nuevo ciclo polรญtico, institucional o cultural.
โNo necesariamente tiene que manifestarse exactamente el dรญa del eclipse. Tradicionalmente, sus efectos se observan desde semanas antes y pueden desplegarse durante los seis meses posteriores, especialmente cuando otros planetas vuelvan a activar el grado del eclipse.
โผ๏ธ Atenciรณn tambiรฉn al rey de Espaรฑa, Felipe VI, quien tiene el Ascendente en el grado 19 de Tauro y la Luna en el grado 19 de Acuario.
El eclipse solar se producirรก en el grado 20 de Leo, formando una cuadratura muy cerrada tanto con su Ascendente como con su Luna natal.
Es una configuraciรณn de gran intensidad, que puede seรฑalar un perรญodo de fuerte exposiciรณn, tensiรณn emocional y redefiniciรณn de su imagen, su funciรณn y su lugar frente al pueblo.
En astrologรญa mundana, la carta del gobernante puede reflejar de manera directa los procesos que atraviesa una naciรณn.
!! Por eso, resulta especialmente significativo que la sombra del eclipse recorra Espaรฑa y que, al mismo tiempo, impacte con tanta precisiรณn sobre puntos centrales de la carta natal del rey.
A friend always tells me that every time things have died down and Harold is irrelevant, Charles breathes life back into him and renews the royal connection. And itโs so true.
This time last week, completing the National Three Peaks Challenge. A huge thank you to everybody who has supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

The National Three Peaks Challenge. โจโจTogether, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.โจย โจPlease know you are not alone.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.
ย
Cancer doesnโt just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.
ย
I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.
ย
Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patientsโ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.ย ย
ย
We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.
ย
This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.
ย
Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isnโt just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.
ย
Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.
ย
Please know you are not alone.

โMy wife and I were greatly saddened to learn of the death of David Hockney O.M., a giant of the world of art and painting, a Yorkshireman through and through and a dear friend and inspiration to so many.
David was one of lifeโs true originals; one who wore his genius as lightly as those beloved yellow Crocs of his that helped brighten Palace occasions. I trust they will see him tread safely into the hereafter as we mourn a man whose irrepressible charm, talent and constant innovation will be most sorely missed, but whose dazzling creativity lives on in galleries and museums around the world.โ

โHey, guys! Itโs Prince William!โ
โItโs a lookalike.โ
โHeโs hallucinating.โ
This is so funny. William wanted to be incognito at this exact moment ๐๐๐
Things need to be modernised for a changed monarchy, and changed world.
Yes, Andrew should be removed from the line of succession. As should others.
This reactive style management is just making things worse, with ridiculous double standards and piecemeal application of unclear rules and standards.
There are half half family members everywhere.
Some with titles, some without.
Some who half represent the monarchy on the global stage.
Some who attend some royal calendar events.
Some who are 'royal patrons' despite having no representative role with the monarchy.
Some on the website, others not.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is a lesson on how โsoftly softlyโ attitude never works. Why decisive action is warranted when princes start associating closely with unsavory characters and why RF should be proactive instead of reactive.
