Re: Suffolk’s
The British Parliament when taking office also give a pledge to the Ruling Monarch , those being discussed have divorced themselves from such inconveniences to themselves and by doing so have giving up all privileges they had bestowed on themselves. If they believe blood is the ruling factor maybe they should go and be tested that it is true Blue. JS
Myself I wouldn’t even put them under the heading of Louis’ s post Interesting People. JS

Re: Suffolk’s
The phrase 'His head was turned' comes to mind.
Younger men with older women is somehow in fashion just now.
But then again looking at the family as a whole there are a number of odds there.
Older men with younger women, and all over the media.
Got the kids so now get rid of here and shack up with my first love appears to have been accepted.
Thye are in fact a normal disfunctional family no different to many others.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Suffolk’s
They still have a job to do . Otherwise do as they have done , but don’t expect to still be able to utilise the countries services ad lib. They should be prepared to accept the privileges of ordinary citizens , it was their choice. They had a good send off and that’s it. His great great uncle also learned that , so no one seems to have told him . JS

Re: Suffolk’s
They should be very thankful of the age in which they live.
Had they been around during the reign of Henery they may well have found them selves cut short.

Re: Suffolk’s
Seeing as our Australian cousins are very interested in Prince Harry and the wife. How about the Queen offers him the job as Governor General to Australia.
Is there still such a thing as the Governor General in Australia? Harry does not want to live in the UK as the weather is cold so seeing as Australia gets more sunshine than the UK.

They are struggling for relevance here in the US. It was reported last week that their popularity is declining.
