And Parliament... and the Cabinet... and the Judiciary... There are significant differences, of course, but their structure of government has many similarities to ours...

Confused? They aren't rulers last I checked.

Whenever I see a photo of William, I think of Princess Diana.  He looks just like her.

Soak it up.

I predict 50-75yrs from now...the British Royalty bit will be no more.

Times change...fast.

I'm shocked at the latest.  William wanting to leave the 'firm' and go his own way without informing his father or Grandma.  I always was in Meghan's corner, but, now I 'm not so sure.   Bet the British have no love for her now.

 

She seems to be running his life now. She had enough strikes against her from the get go , now, this isn't going to make her more lovable. He's still a Prince, son of the future KIng.

When William was a child...definitely a Diana mini-me.

Today?  Harry looks like her...and even has the same mannerisms.

You wrote the name William, but I'm sure you mean to refer to Meghan's husband Harry.  It's possible Harry already wanted a different path than his royal destiny and his wife has given him the strength and courage to do that. He may have married her for her own decency and belief in him and is not being manipulated, as you see Meghan as doing.

 

 If you're going to dis the guy and his wife, get his name right. Words matter. And names, too.

Yep, Prince Harry and I wasn't dissing the guy by any stretch of the imagination just expressing surprise at these new changes in their lives.

Interesting article on the changes.  Find fault with the source if you will, but facts are facts.
