The reign of King Charles III of the United Kingdom

Yass queen!

Thanks for the excerpt. CNN tells me I’m out of free articles for the month and have to subscribe. On January 2.

Duchess of Sussex wants armed security guaranteed before returning to UK.

Princess Anne is at the Winter Olympics:

IMHO the article should have mentioned that she’s a former Olympic athlete herself:

And, ugh, on the Epstein Files front:

Anyone who’s ever seen the British parody TV series The Windsors can’t help but giggle at any mention of Beatrice and Eugenie! :grin:

Moderating:

@Elendil_s_Heir, posting a blind link isn’t precisely banned in P&E (outside an OP) but it isn’t appreciated as well, especially as One Box summaries don’t always load from all providers and on all systems. If a link is helpful and OP, please include a short summary or quote as to why someone should care enough to click though. For example, you one sentence summary on the Duchess of Susexx post is fine, because it’s a who - what - where. Seriously, very minor issue (outside an OP again), but it’s a best practice.

This is just a guidance, not a warning.

This article is kind of a mess and I’m not sure what it’s meant to convey. They are offhandedly mentioned in passing in a few emails from their mom to Epstein might be the only new information. Other than that it’s speculated that they are embarrassed about their parents while living in luxury from their inherited wealth and that of their wealty spouses.

More Epstein fallout: six of Fergie’s companies are shutting down.

From what I can gather from the article, she asked for them to be shut down and they were only placeholder names. The companies don’t appear to have employees or do anything.

And Andy has been arrested:

This news just made my day.

Fun fact: today is also his birthday.

That reservation he had for the Pizza Express in Woking will now need to be cancelled.

From the link:

Andrew will be placed in “a cell in a custody suite” with just “a bed and a toilet”, where he will wait until his police interview. Shaw says “there’ll be no special treatment for him”.

“I have also instructed two guards to make sure the prince doesn’t leave the room until I come and get him.”

Oh, Q.Q. you are awful !

(I will be repeating that to many friends and family.)

charles is not having an easy reign.

It wasn’t that long ago that monarchs eliminated close relatives as a matter of course.

Pruning is good for trees. Even family trees. Or so tradition said.

It appears that he shared confidential information with Epstein presumably having to do with criminal investigations involving him.

Edit: a different article alleges that it was related to when Andy was a trade envoy so maybe insider trading.

Andrew being arrested is a good start. I think the evidence exists enough for me to believe he is a child rapist. I grew up with my wonderful English Mom and she loves the royal family.

I knew he was screwed at Christmas when even my Mom was agreeing that Andrew is cooked. She is a royalist. She thought the Queen was amazing and she is rooting for King Charles. She met, talked, and got an autograph from Diana’s brother.

I think she even sided with the family against Prince Harry.

But when it comes to Andrew, she is through with him. He is obviously a true monster.
