But regardless, they won't be barred from the funeral events




It may be a little harsh to ban Harry from the ceremony, but Meghan has no right to be there. She's a fricking ghoul who goes and takes a private jet complete with a camera crew and security to go pose with dead kids in Uvalde. This bitch once did a press release that she gave people who worked for her a $25 gift card to Starbucks. She's got to pay her publicist well since she's got to be the single worst person to represent in Hollywood.

Seems like his funeral was the most badass thing ever. At least this video certainly makes it appear such.

Churchill's Funeral


Brought a tear to my eye. I'm sorry, if you don't cry at Churchill's funeral, you're not a man as far as I'm concerned. Given that he was half American and one of only eight people granted an honorary American citizenship he had this glorious tune played at his funeral: Battle Hymn of the Republic

Yes, and to see OJ during his law enforcement career and his turn to the darkside on his ex-wife. Not to say it was right but I understand.

I apologize for sounding crude, however how did this manage to be 11 pages without a single IWNHI?

I don't see how any Russian delegate is going to be welcome there over what's currently going on in Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if Xi Jinping makes an appearance, and if not him surely Wang Yi or Hu Jintao.

You know she’s only head of state right? Her position is ceremonial and a tether to England’s past. She doesn’t govern

True, but it seems like a waste of a frick ton of tax money to keep a monarchy

The monarchy and its various holdings bring in far more money than it receives.

Harry to travel alone to Scotland with doctors concerned for Queen’s health -

MetroUK


Don’t have any clue how reliable that is as a source, but FOX just confirmed that Harry arrived solo in Aberdeen.

This would be Operation Unicorn because she's in Scotland.

Correct…. It’s similar to LSU football in that while it isnt a ‘neccessity’ per se, it brings in and distributes multiple millions of pounds , mostly becuase of the entire tourism niche it creates and sustains.. There are tons of people who have traveled to England and planned trips around visiting Buckingham Palace and the like, especially when the weddings take place .

RAF plane that landed at Aberdeen was carrying William, Andrew, Edward and Sophie, not Anne —my mistake, she was already in Scotland. They loaded into cars and drove past helicopter, so may be driving to Balmoral. It’s about a 1.5-hour drive (I thought longer). I’m presuming choppers grounded due to weather.

Daily Mail reporting that Harry is traveling alone to Balmoral while that woman stays behind in London due to “change in plans.”

It’s more than just tourism. The Crown Estate has holdings in commercial properties, agricultural lands, shorelines/seabeds, mines, forest lands, etc. The vast majority of these profits go directly to HM Treasury.
