duties' for Prince Harry

couple agree to 90-minute
tell-all Oprah TV special

Original Article

Harry and Meghan are set to lose all their remaining royal patronages, the Daily Mail can reveal today. The revelation follows an announcement that the couple have recorded a 'tell-all' TV special with Oprah Winfrey. It is understood the Queen is to ask them to relinquish their links with any organisations passed down through the Royal Family. Her 36-year-old grandson would be stripped of his three remaining honorary military titles and, potentially, his patronages with the Rugby Football Union, Rugby Football League and the London Marathon.

Comments:

I know this isn’t really any of our business, but just on a human level I feel so sorry for Queen Elizabeth.

After this interview is aired, all that will be left for Markle to do is to pose nude for Playboy. Prince Dimbulb can continue in his role as a lampshade. Keeping Up with the Markles.

It is time for HM The Queen to strip these two of their titles, Harry's place in the line of succession and take the trash out. Crown and Country comes first.

Isn't the DM getting tired of predicting the same outcome? There was 'no way back' when they left for Canada, then no way back when they moved to CA, no way back with the release of that self-serving book. Yet they still haven't been cut off and never will be due to the Queen and Charles' Diana-guilt.

As we tune in today ( cue up that awful organ music ) we find that Sparkle Farkle Markel aka the Dukette believes that privacy is accomplished by being on prime time television for 90 minutes . Her husband , Prince Harkle aka the Duke, will be making an appearance but baby Arkle will not. The price for his presence has yet to be negotiated,. Will the Dukette ever allow the Duke to make his own decisions ? Will Prince Harkle become excess baggage, and what about baby Arkle , does he know that he's going to have a competitor as the most famous un photographed baby ? For the answer to these and other nonsensical questions, ,tune in tomorrow or next week or next month for another chapter of " The Unmerry Wife of Windsor"...............now appearing anywhere/everywhere for cold hard cash.

I feel very sorry for Queen Elizabeth. She has always been so dutiful. I used to have a big soft spot in my heart for Harry. He served in the military with honor and his patronship of the Invictus Games was inspiring. Woke Meghan has turned him into a whiny specimen of a man.

I thought they gave up their titles when they moved to Canada, or wherever they live. Since they named their first kid after a comic strip character, the second kid should either be named Jughead or maybe Snoopy.

Among other Royal positions, Harry holds the honorary title of Captain General of the British Royal Marines. He reportedly wants to retain that position that he inherited from his grandfather. At the moment it appears that Harry intends to reside indefinitely in Southern California with his spouse Meghan Markle and his children. The Royal Marine Commando Regiments stationed in England and Scotland, are fighting units not ceremonial troops and have been operating in Northern Europe, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. The British have a tradition of having a Royal Colonel appointed by the Queen to each of their fighting military regiments, and the Royal Marines call their honorary Royal Colonel the Captain General. Those Royal personages are supposed to maintain close contact with their regiment, look out for the welfare of the soldiers serving in the regiment, and take part in all important regimental functions. Since Harry obviously intends to reside in California there is no way that he could in substance perform the duties of Captain General of the Royal Marines in traditional form. So if the Queen allowed Harry to keep that honorary position it would be a joke. That’s why Harry is about to loose those important Royal positions.

Thanks #10. Again, funny as ever. You know the reasons we don't see the baby - in England there is a law, hundreds of years old, that says the Queen 'owns' all the children and she could, at will, take the baby and raise him. That's the reason Markle won't go back to England and most certainly the baby will not.

He made his choice; he chose a wanna-be star who trashed her own family for money and fame. She talked him into leaving his family and country. She will leave him when she has enough money and fame to do so. Buyer beware! I don't feel sorry for him. He is a grown man and was warned. Just please grow up and keep your mouth shut.

You could not pry Meghan Markle out of California now with a crowbar. As she has Harry right where she wants him in a State that would be most favorable to she if it ever came to splitting up with Harry. Poster #10 may well be on to something with the British Sovereign having the ultimate control over all Royal children. If that is so, you will never witness Meghan Markle traveling back to the UK with her children.

Two overindulged, spoiled brats both from broken homes, who clearly thrive on any type of attention. She is a textbook narcissist and he suffers mental illness (he has admitted this on some level, mummy Diana was mentally ill, too). Reading an interesting book on them by Lady Colin Campbell. He is still angry about mummy’s death and she uses this to take down the evil white Royal Family as a “strong woman of color”. Personally, I think he was set up at the get-go and was too stupid to see he’s being used. She is vile and manipulative—she and Harry are blackmailing his family. I feel badly for the Queen but she has the power to kick them to the curb at the end of March, per the agreement. Just do it, your Majesty. I pity Archie (wherever he is) and the supposed sibling-to-be (gosh, what convenient timing for a 2nd test tube baby). I just feel nothing is as it seems...like the parallel universe we are currently inhabiting here in the U.S. What a crap show.

Harry takes after his great-great Uncle David, the Duke of Windsor. Both are embarrassing outcasts in the Royal Family for similar reasons. The only difference is that Harry had no claim to the throne, which makes him mostly irrelevant. I wish he and his wife had decided to settle somewhere else so we wouldn’t have to hear about them constantly.

President Biden is considering sending a few thousand troops to Eastern Europe and the Baltic States as part of a broader NATO effort to bolster NATO allies that border Russia and Ukraine, given recent tensions, Fox News confirms. Advisors presented Biden with various options to respond to Russia's aggressive stance in Eastern Europe in a Sunday briefing at Camp David. The president is considering sending 3,000-5,000 U.S. troops to Romania and to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia as part of a broader NATO effort. Other NATO countries may also contribute troops to warn Russian President Vladimir Putin not to try to move into neighboring countries.

It’s not often that I agree with Joe Biden, but he said something in his nasty, brutish, and long press conference last week with which, if properly understood, I agree. Don’t get me wrong. The press conference as a whole was a “total disaster.” Notwithstanding the sycophantic performance of the court eunuchs in the regime media, everybody understands this. (But speaking of “court eunuchs,” what’s the female equivalent? It was Jennifer Rubin, who actually gave Biden an “A-” for the presser, that prompts this vital question and I hope some enterprising savant will contribute the answer.)

Republicans in the Pennsylvania State Senate plan to draft a bill that would relocate migrants entering the state on Biden administration-sponsored flights to the president's home state of Delaware. State Sen. Mario Scavello, a Republican from Mount Pocono, issued a memo to colleagues asking them to support the forthcoming bill. "In the very near future, I intend to introduce legislation to address the influx of illegal immigrants being relocated into Pennsylvania," Scavello wrote, adding that his legislation will be fashioned after similar intentions voiced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The legislation would implement a transportation program for the relocation of migrants from the commonwealth to the neighboring state

The Washington Post awarded President Biden its harshest fact-check rating of "Four Pinocchios" over his false claim this week that he was "arrested" for the first time as a teenager while attending a civil rights protest in Delaware. In a Thursday piece headlined, "Biden claims yet another arrest for which there’s little evidence," Glenn Kessler, The Post's resident fact-checker, wrote that Biden was "not always a reliable source" when it came to his "exaggerated" stories, and that too many elements of his claim didn't add up.

McConnell torched the president from the Senate floor on Wednesday, tearing into Biden over his widely panned speech, calling it a "deliberately divisive" and one that was "designed to pull our country further apart."

Party leader since 2003 and speaker from 2007 through 2011 and again since 2019, Pelosi has accrued a legacy that Democrats have good reason to regret.

The problem is, there’s a shortage of these medicines, forcing governments to ration them. Authorities are understandably trying to direct their limited supply of these life-saving treatments to those who need them most.

The one-year anniversary of the January 6 riots unfolded in a manner as dramatic as it was predictable. The Pearl Harbor and 9/11 comparisons were uttered before noon — not by some media hack on MSNBC, but by our own vice president. Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, stood on the steps of the Capitol adorned with face masks and holding fake candles to hold a prayer vigil. At one particularly bizarre point during the day’s ceremonies, Pelosi introduced playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda, who in turn introduced cast members from his hit musical Hamilton to sing a virtual rendition of “Dear Theodosia.”

A 19-year-old man who was fatally shot by Metro Police in the southeast valley Monday had no connection to a murder police were investigating when they entered an apartment to serve a search warrant, police said today at a briefing. Assistant Sheriff Andrew Walsh said Isaiah Tyree Williams, 19, was shot by officers several times as they tried to serve a search warrant related to a November 2021 homicide. Two officers were injured in the exchange. Police announced their presence by yelling “police department, search warrant” multiple times at about 5 a.m. before entering the apartment in the 3000 block of South Nellis Boulevard, Walsh said.

New Jersey has banned police officers from lingering around polling stations and ballot drop boxes on election days under a new law that advocates argued was needed to protect against voter intimidation. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Democratic-sponsored bill into law earlier in the week after it passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature mostly along party lines. It says both plain-clothed or uniformed police need to keep at least 100 feet from polling stations or drop boxes.
