Let me tell you what happened in Leicester Square tonight, because it was better than the film.

The Princess of Wales has not walked a red carpet since May 2022. In between came the year the family does not discuss: the surgery, the diagnosis, the video from the garden bench, the chemotherapy, the months when the country quietly counted the days. Tonight she walked one again.

She wore purple. Deep plum, Jenny Packham, cut lower than she has ever dared, the colour of queens. Her hair was half up, so that you could see the earrings, and the earrings were Diana's pearls. At her throat, on a rope of pearls to the waist, hung an amethyst heart the size of a walnut. Queen Alexandra gave it to the Queen Mother in 1923, the year she married into the family. It has been worn through a war, an abdication and a century of clever men underestimating the women who wore it.

This morning a book went on sale calling that Queen petty and the King a lottery winner on the morning Diana died. The family's reply to a week of it has been one sentence. Tonight the future Queen answered without one: she wore the Queen Mother's heart and Diana's pearls at the same time, and let the flashbulbs do the talking.

And William. Black tie, half a step behind her on the carpet, in her light rather than his own, with the look of a man who walked behind a coffin at fifteen and has spent every year since making sure she would never be alone on a carpet, or in a hospital, or anywhere.

She looked magnificent. Not because of the dress, though it was perfect, and not because of the necklace, though it was a hundred years of the family on a single strand. She looked magnificent because she looked well, and happy, and unafraid.

The book will be in the bargain bins by Christmas. The amethyst goes back to the vault, until another woman wears it on another night for reasons nobody will need to explain. That is the difference between a family and a grievance. One of them lasts.

This may sound strange coming from me - as I am a proud patriotic American but... the UK really should protect William and Kate at all costs. They are the best kind of millennials - stoic, classy, dignified. They just do their jobs and don't complain. Truly amazing figureheads.

Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf was born in Scotland. His parents came from Sri Lanka. Nobody treats that as a warning.

Sagal Abdi-Wali arrived as a child, grew up in Camden, chaired the local party and now leads the council. He made “born in Somalia” the entire point and asked if we “understand what’s happening.”

We do. You’re not describing a candidate. You’re telling people which Britons still don’t count. This is just a thinly veiled racism. We see you!

King Charles III’s Royal Guard honored Dolly Parton by playing one of her biggest hits outside Buckingham Palace.

After the 80-year-old country music star died on Aug. 25 following a brief battle with cancer, the Band of the Coldstream Guards performed Parton’s 1980 hit “9 to 5” during the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

The best way to honour someone who did a lot for you but regressed into someone you can no longer respect, is to remember the best version of them and be thankful for what they did for you. Even if they ultimately failed you, they gave you a great gift as proof of their love.

Your parents arrived from Sri Lanka in the early 1980s.

Your father as a paediatrician. Your mother as a nurse. Both worked in the NHS. They settled. They naturalised. You were born here in 1986 as a direct result of that legal migration pathway.

Without the system that allowed skilled overseas medical staff to come, work, and stay, you would not be posting from London as a Reform UK frontbencher.
Now look at the language you just used.

You describe the post-Brexit intake as “the WHOLE Boriswave of 4 million non-EU unskilled migrants” who must be denied settled status and lifetime welfare access.

You frame any softening of retrospective ILR reforms as a catastrophic giveaway. Yet a significant slice of that same cohort includes doctors, nurses, paediatricians and care workers filling the exact same NHS and social-care roles your parents filled. Many arrived under the points-based system, paid the Immigration Health Surcharge, paid taxes, and worked the same shifts.

You are not drawing a clean distinction between legal and illegal. You are drawing a distinction between the migrants who produced you and the migrants who look like them today. The former get the full “my parents played by the rules” treatment. The latter get “unskilled” and a warning about welfare. That is not principle. That is selective memory deployed for political effect.

You know the difference between a Channel-crossing small-boat case and a nurse who entered on a skilled visa. You choose the broader, more emotional framing because it weaponises public anxiety more efficiently.

The TikTok dig at Burnham is theatre. The real move is to treat the settled-status question of people doing the jobs your family once did as an existential threat, while your own family’s story is presented as the model of legitimate immigration.

I can’t believe that this has to be said but here we are!

Update

We have today received a Response from the litigation department of the HO regarding our intention to challenge the restriction of Dependant Rules especially for those with minor children born in the UK or currently in school in the United Kingdom.

HO’s lawyer has just requested details of those affected and whilst we have almost 30 persons affected, we understand that there are many people out there who were also affected as well.

There is strength in number which is why I am calling on anyone with child(ren) born in the UK or minor children schooling in the UK whose dependant visas have been refused recently to join this WhatsApp group. A large number will make a difference

Open this link to join the WhatsApp Group: https://t.co/cuDWvJ5yRw

To join, you have to be vetted and approved by the moderator because it is a group specifically for those attracted.

Please answer the security questions as factual as possible.

Do not join the group if you aren’t affected.

Thank you

Before morons have a melt down over Muhammad being number 1 on the boys list, ask yourself why there isn't a single Muslim name on the girls list before you start screaming population replacement

Muhammad is commonly used as a prefix - which inflates the numbers
