Regarding Edward, he’s looking quite gaunt and suddenly very old. I don’t think losing both parents would have done this to him no matter his grief. They we’re old and didn’t die suddenly and they had a lot of time with both parents to say goodbye as they were poorly for a while.
I like Edward and his family, I hope he’s ok.
 
I recall he was pictured a while ago and wasn’t shaking hands with the public whereas Sophie was. Maybe covid has given him health anxiety?

I get what you’re saying and agree that his looks may be something different altogether, but even though we know death is inevitable especially the older we become, I still don’t think you can ever prepare for the loss and the intensity of grief when you lose someone you love so much.

In something like the RF things change so fast as well … it really is out with the old regime in with the new at a millisecond of notice. There isn’t really anytime to adapt … and it’s all done in front of the world.
 
It was a very badly thought-out statement. One has to assume it was left in in an attempt to inject some serious life elements into what seems to be a largely tabloid drama book, but no decent PR rep should see that and not realise the repercussions.
If it makes the person you're seeking to make the protagonist of his own story look like he dehumanises those he acknowledges killing, it's going to be incredibly hard to spin positively.

Prince Harry: Sculpture filled with human blood 'to be projected on to St Paul's Cathedral' after duke's kill claim

After Prince Harry faced criticism for revealing he killed 25 Taliban fighters who he viewed as "chess pieces", Russian artist Andrei Molodkin says he will project a sculpture featuring blood donated by Afghans on to the cathedral, along with footage of the Duke of Sussex.

Does the artist need permission from St. Paul's to do this? If it goes ahead then it will be fairly newsworthy. It will draw more negative attention to Harry's comments in the book but it could gain Harry some sympathy too though. I think he was foolish to make the comments he made and I think he could have discussed the impact of taking another person's life without mentioning chess pieces and numbers but he was a soldier following orders and it's not like he behaved any differently to other soldiers there at the time. They were ordered to kill and they did. It would make more sense to have footage of Tony Blair projected onto St. Paul's along with the sculpture rather than Harry.

Oh dear. He shouldn't have said anything about it at all. Who keeps count of these things?! Very odd behaviour.
 
Camilla looks very sparkly this evening even though she is dressed in black. It’s a bit sad that now we have a Queen Consort her sartorial choices will be understandably more understated as she is not the ‘main event’. I miss the late HMTQ and her wonderful Stabilo wardrobe.

Yes, I agree. I was going to mention this but it flew right out of my head with the news about Paul today. 😥

It was lovely that Camilla said something publicly about Paul's passing. She has also said she will contact the family privately. They worked and met together many times.

What is depressing is the number of people on social media who seem to think he hates the monarchy. He did have some socialist views but he accepted an OBE and seemed to have a good relationship with Camilla.
