He was too old and ill in his final months on this earth, but in his younger days of say up to 95, he would have given them both a broadside of repeated fire. To him a spade was a spade and an a’hole was an a’hole. Anyone behaving like an a’hole was treated as such and that’s why I liked him👍

I never really looked at it that way … not being a big fan of his as I think he lacks back bone.
But . it must limit you waiting in the wings so long, most of your adult life in fact. , and to be kept in your mother’s shadow stifles any regard or reputation you might manage to make in your own right … and let’s face it, Lizzie’s a hard act to follow
Worse, it comes at a time with fallout from Andrew and Harry who seem bent on destroying the royals reputation.

Tripe… could work as the title for another book?
It’d probably be offal anyway.
Prince Harry’s US visa could be revoked after his claims that weed and psychedelics were a “fundamental” part of his life.
The royal told therapist Dr Gabor Mate he began using weed and ayahuasca - a psychoactive drink - to help cope with trauma from his past.
His admission came as part of an interview for Dr Mate’s The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culturen which he claimed: “I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me.”
But according to some, US immigration officials take a Draconian stance when it comes to non-Americans using drugs in the country.
Cannabis is legal in California, where Prince Harry currently resides, and while ayahuasca is permitted for religious use only in the States, certain cities have opted to decriminalise it.
In some instances in the past, however, British nationals like Harry have been barred from entering the US over drugs controversies - in 2014, Nigella Lawson was stopped from getting on a US-bound flight following her admission during an unrelated trial she had previously taken cocaine.
According to Piers Morgan, the Duke of Sussex may have jeopardised his stay by admitting his drug use for health reasons. Piers Morgan suggested that Harry should avoid boarding a plane to the UK for the King’s coronation in May if he doesn’t want to risk getting stuck on the way home.
“Another compelling reason why we don’t want them at the king’s coronation,” said the controversial host. We might end up being stuck with them for good."
Perish the thought … 
They both would make good candidates for The Tower (of London) and traitors gate👍

The couple will be controversial figures at King Charles’ big do, given their recent Netflix docu-series and Prince Harry’s explosive tell-all memoir Spare, both of which were scathing in their assessments of the Royal Family.
With less than two months until the coronation, speculation is mounting over whether Prince Harry will attend the ceremony alone or with his young family in tow.
The Sussexes’ son Archie turns four on May 6, leading some to believe Meghan will snub the ceremony to celebrate her first child’s birthday in the United States or elsewhere.
But others believe the entire family will attend and stay at Frogmore Cottage, their former residence.
The couple’s children are considered too young to attend the ceremony and it is believed they will attempt to spend at least part of the day with their son for his birthday if they do make the trip to London.
“Cold shoulder” is a phrase used to express dismissal or the act of disregarding someone. Its origin is attributed to Sir Walter Scott in a work published in 1816, which is in fact a mistranslation of an expression from the Vulgate Bible.
The expression “cold shoulder” has been used in many literary works, and has entered into the vernacular. It has been used as a description of aloofness and disdain, a contemptuous look over one’s shoulder, and even in the context of a woman attempting to decline the advances of an aggressive man. Overall, it remains widely popular as a phrase for describing the act of ignoring someone or something, or giving an unfriendly response.
Etymology
The first recorded use of the expression was in 1816 by Sir Walter Scott in the Scots language, in The Antiquary. This expression is a mistranslation of the Latin phrase dederunt umerum recedentem from the Book of Nehemiah 9.29 from the Vulgate Bible, which actually means “stubbornly they turned their backs on you”, which comes from the Septuagint Bible’s Greek equivalent ἔδωκαν νῶτον ἀπειθοῦντα. Latin umerus (often misspelled humerus) means both “shoulder” and “back”:
Ye may mind that the Countess’s dislike did na gang farther at first than just shewing o’ the cauld shouther
The phrase also appears in one of Scott’s later works, St. Ronan’s Well.
… and the Sussex’s are going to get it …

I sincerely hope they stay away from the coronation as I have a distinct feeling the public lining the route will boo the couple loudly and that would be unfair to the King & Queen.

I suspect there’ll be a small number of loons along the route who might act upon Clarkson’s suggestion!!

Agree. He needs to grow a pair.
Screwed if they do come and screwed if they don’t. What a position to be in. Personally if I had been Harry when I left that would have been the last any of them saw or heard from me.

Maybe they could fake a “glen miller” on the way over and go and live incognito on an island in the China seas, a bit like Scaramanga from the James Bond movie (or indeed Elvis and Robert Maxwell)

Prince Harry will come to the King’s coronation, but Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will not be attending, says Buckingham Palace.
There had been speculation about whether the couple would travel to the coronation - but it has now emerged that Prince Harry will attend alone.
Prince Harry will join more than 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey on 6 May.
It will be the first time he will have been seen with the Royal Family since the release of his best-selling memoir.
Prince Harry and Meghan, who live in California in the United States, had been contacted by email more than a month ago about attending the coronation.
The decision for Meghan not to attend will be seen as part of ongoing, unresolved tensions between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Royal Family.
As he is no longer a “working royal”, it remains to be seen what part Prince Harry will play in the coronation ceremony.
Surprise, surprise … 
Maybe, maybe not. It takes two to fall out and I don’t doubt for one moment that William is as pure as the driven snow. He’s more than capable of stirring the pot.
