They are KC’s stepchildren. His wife’s children.
My children are my husband’s stepchildren and I expect him to treat them like his own.
When you marry a spouse with children you take them on.

As a private person-yes. Treating them however he want's.
As a Royal-no.
Because:
Every person that married into the institution has one way or another suffered loss of privacy, intrusion, public scrutiny.
So projecting personal values as a mere mortal is pointless, unless one is indeed a public person.
Somebody set a trust fund for Edo's child? Or for the children of Peter's new girlfriend?
They are less visible now sure...but what if? Say Peter gets into a scandal?

Peter is responsible for his new girlfriend’s children if they marry. No one else.

Edo’s child….Andrew is more likely to ask if he has any money and expect he could “borrow” it.

Well Charles was responsible for his girlfriends children...even as a godfather, still their problems reflected on the Monarchy. And the Monarchy is not your average family. And they were adults.
Haakon treating Marius as his own, still doesn't remove the fact that it now costs him everything, even the possible Crown for his own daughter. So private families are irrelevant in this.

Yeah.
 
A nice little Christmas story
Stolen from FB pasted because FB links don't work. Enjoy
A week before Christmas, of 1896, Santa was preparing for his Christmas Run....

But it wasn't going as planned. Four of his elves were down with flu, and the apprentice elves were making poor quality toys which needed remaking. Santa was well behind schedule.

Mrs. Claus reminded Santa that her Mother was coming to visit. This stressed Santa a fair amount.

When Santa went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were heavily pregnant and two had jumped the fence and were out with a couple of loutish bucks. Santa's heartrate was climbing.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, the floor of the rear tonneau collapsed and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. Santa was developing a twitch.

So Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whisky, to calm his nerves. But when he went to the cupboard, he found the whisky bottle was empty, because Mrs Claus had laced the Xmas Pudding the way her Mum liked it. The vein in Santa's neck was very visible.

He went to pour some coffee and found the kettle element kept fusing the workshop lights. Beads of sweat were breaking out on Santa's forehead.

Then the doorbell rang and Santa nervously made his way to the door, expecting more problems - and more bad news.

He slowly opened the door and there was a little angel with a beautiful Christmas tree. The angel said, "Merry Christmas Santa. How's all the preperation for Christmas going? Isn't this a lovely tree? How is Mrs Claus? Is her Mum coming over for the holidays? What are the naughty reindeers up to? Why don't you invite me in, and we can have a coffee or share a dram or two while I put some lights around your tree. Now where would you like me to stick it.....???"

So now you know where the tradition of the little angel, placed on top of the Christmas tree, began......

No end of people do this. I remember seeing someone in a new suit with the tack still in and the makers label still sewn on the cuff!

My Irish mother-in-law would have called her ‘a blow’ (as in ‘blows her own trumpet’). My own mother, still alive, lucid and a trouper calls her ‘oh HER again’ 🤣

So does this one.

Secret weapon? :rolleyes:

One minute the DM are all we 'need Hazza back' and now it's 'move over, here comes Tom'.

Isn't TPB a bit embarrassed? I mean, he writes for this lot. And here they are, tooting his horn.

That's the best thing to read on a winter morning when you've been forced out of bed too early 😂😂😂😂😂😂 have a mushy! :m

Smeg clearly didn't check the weather forecast and amend her outfit accordingly.

Those trousers. :rolleyes: Look at the state of them.

She looks like she was already hating every second of meeting the Great Unwashed, and I think this was even before the 'Spectacle'.

When has she dressed appropriately? She does check the weather forecast, but then dresses the opposite 😂


And that makes me settle on the idea of wearing something woollen over my sweatshirt today. It's too cold for me to be out doing what I did yesterday 🤦

Netflix is exhausted dealing with two children. I think that every suggestion was met with a no and there wasn’t any constructive suggestion from them in return The frustration level of the people doing the real work must have been high. I think disgust probably best describes how Netflix feels about them.
 
This is probably bullshit, but it just popped up on my Facebook feed. Wouldn’t it be something though, if only to make Rachel squirm.

It’s also being reported that Jeff Bezos has withdrawn sponsorship of Invictus Games because of Rachel’s spending. Again, I don’t know if it’s true or not…

It’s hard to understand why there wasn’t more coverage of Harry’s abuse of Drizzle. If a civilian abused an animal to their death (in public and on camera too) they would surely be prosecuted for cruelty to animals. Why are royalty exempt??

I cannot look at the photos of poor Drizzle that day, clearly in great distress and suffering. Breaks my heart.

Justice for Drizzle and her foal!!!!
