love it, but Dwight Yorke didn't have to wait all those years for a DNA test, he could've easily got a court ordered one straight away by refusing to pay maintenance until it was proven.

Can’t imagine it’s anything like this much these days. OK magazine has circulation figures of 120,000 copies a month, I can’t imagine they make £1 an issue (very few magazines break even - that’s why so many have folded) but let’s say they do. That £120,000 has to pay: all staff members from the editor to the cleaners. Building rent costs. Investment in technology every year. Standard business costs from accountants to redundancies to coffee in the break room. Plus the publishers will want a fair bit of that 120 as their cut. The editor, journos and photogs for a full colour glossy mag will surely cost 50% of the profits. Business expenses and publishers take will surely be another 30k. That leaves 30k in my ‘back of a beermat’ calculations per month to fund ALL stories. And let’s face it, there’s no other business to be found - a Kym Marsh front page exclusive about whichever personal trainer she’s calling “The One” this month isn’t shifting another 100k copies of the magazine - nor are they likely to cash in by selling the story internationally to other glossy mags.
Back in the days when magazines were selling 400k copies a month it was a different world im sure!

Advertising revenue will still bring in a fair bit. And all those 'We LOVE this...' fashion and beauty features? You have to pay to have your product featured in those as well.
 
Andrew is the Queen’s favourite apparently. I reckon that’s why he gets away with murde

Also, Phillip has cancer. I've heard conflicting reports. Some say he has prostate cancer like most men of his age, others say he has leukemia. But this is why he's been in out of hospital so many times in recent years.

There’s also a form of leukaemia which only strikes older people and they’re more likely to die with it than of it, just like some forms of prostate cancer (like you said).
 
The Windsors aren't supposed to vote, but there's no law against it (I think in a democracy there can't be a law prohibiting anyone from voting) and what or who's to stop them from voting?

Will has had several affairs and Kate has had her fun too, particularly during the dating years (Kate especially during their many breakups, to make Will jealous).
There are many stories and salacious pics of their dating years out there, since marriage their image has been very white-washed.
Considering Will did what he wanted during dating, it is no surprise he'd be all over town as married man.

Will is the only Windsor man who refuses to wear a wedding ring.

Even Phil always wore his, ho visits in Marylebone or not, the man wore his ring!
Charles also always wore his, right until the divorce and then he put his wedding ring back on after Diana's death.
Will had a fit before the wedding and there were arguments over him wearing one.

Draw your own conclusions 🧐

Because without a wedding ring, nobody knows he’s married...?

Right.

BIB, not so apparently. But you are right that members of the royal family are not excluded.

In addition to money for the sale of the magazine the company will get lots of income from advertising, normally more than they get from the actual sale of the magazine.

The advertising income will be a lot less than in the 90s or 00s but still it will be quite hefty as a 1 page advert will be in the thousands.
