So why is a country, let's call it Italy, that does not want to use the AZ vaccine complain that it is no getting its fair share so prevents some being exported to another country, that for this purpose we will call Australia?

I think it's because they're part of an incompetent wasteful bureaucracy. Let's call it the EU.

Thank goodness we got out otherwise we could have been embroiled in all of this and still waiting for our vaccination.

What about any state occasions, bound to be a funeral or two sometime soon, and what about his Dad's Coronation?

Lots of remainers will disagree with you, in fact some looney liberal woman on Daily Politics today seemed to be blaming us for the EU cock up, claiming if we had still been a member we would have sorted it out better! :roll: :crazy:

And yet a different incompetent wasteful bureaucracy that has been throwing money around all the party faithful, friends and family in various contracts that have failed to be fulfilled is also paying up to 50% more per vaccine than the EU. Let's call it the UK.

Tis up to those who issue the invites of course but if they come it will doubtless be all about Hello Magazine and a TV interview here and there rather than for any genuine warmth for the long suffering Royals.

Just for the record I like Megan and believe her when she say’s the “Firm” has treated her badly.

I also feel sorry for Catherine but its best I don’t go there as I wouldn’t want to upset William's fan base.

I'm not in anybodies fan base but my assessment of Megan is that she is a controlling and demanding spoilt brat who simply couldn’t cope with being anything other than first in the queue for attention. The Royal etiquette would not suit her me-me-me temperment. :wave:

If you know something that is upsetting Catherine you owe it your legions of fans to tell us.
However if she does have problems, she shows a remarkable ability to hide them, as she displays to the world the sunny disposition of a truly happy and contented mother and wife.

I think "The Firm" treated her very well but Me Again had her own ideas and failed to accept the hierarchy. She and Hazza then fell out with the Press (no photos of baby Archie) followed by Meghan lecturing us all on women's rights and pushing her ethnicity. She and Harry created an explosive atmosphere of jealousy and since then the pair of them have exacerbated it further.
If they wanted privacy they should have gone off and lived their lives away from the media instead of courting it as and when they want and then complaining about Press intrusion. Personally I think they have behaved abominably.
No time for them from this quarter.

As for Katherine, a proper commoner rather than someone from noble ancestry I think she has adapted magnificently into the role of Duchess. I can't see where she has put a foot wrong but some may know differently.

There is some truth in what you say Mob…lets face it going back a few months Harry and Megan were getting more attention than the higher ranked royals.

Yes! She plays the dutiful wife part very well and no doubt is a very contented mother and wife

She's not the first person to take a job and then realise it's not what she thought it was.
If they want out, fine by me.
If they REALLY wanted out, the wouldn't constantly be doing very public interviews, would they?

Still, it's going to make good tv for years.
