Let’s not be too hasty about this, they might have kept it in suit cases to give to charity just like Prince Charlie might have done when he accepted a backhander donation from the Osama Bin Laden family.

“A source at the Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund told the BBC that "the sins of the father" - that's Osama Bin Laden - should not disqualify other members of the family from making a donation. Which makes sense.
But equally, did Prince Charles or his inner circle really think it was a good idea to take money from the Bin Ladens? Or did they think it was fine so long as it was never made public?
Because once it was public - however many checks were made and rules were followed - it was always going to look horrible.
Just like the enormous cash donation from a former Qatari Prime Minister or the letter from Prince Charles's close friend and aide promising a knighthood to a Saudi citizen who had promised and made substantial donations”.

You're really not keen on King Charles are you? If you event receive an invitation to a Royall event at the Tower of London you should probably decline.

Oh!... you noticed

I’m glad to see there is at least one on here who is looking out for my best interests, there are some on here who would encourage me to accept

[oldbluefox]

I doubt Charles scrutinises every donation made to the charities to which he is patron.
Sounds to me like somebody trying to make a name for themselves by cheap mischief making.

That’s a bit harsh on Onelife, Foxy
He’s already made a name for himself.
I cannot tell you what the name is but it rhymes with ………………………

What are visiting times in the Tower? I think it's only right we should visit him.

If OL’s going to the Tower then just maybe I’ll come out of retirement,it’s been a while since
I locked some one up. Now where’s my Baton.

If you don on some stockings with garter, heels, booty shorts, a corset, you can beat the sh*t out of me

A bit of a stretch even for Onelife, to use an article about EU corruption to Bash poor old Charles.

Hasn’t everyone.?

There was an uncanny similarity in the way money changed hands...Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink, say no more!

Certainly those who have been on the receiving end have…. Ouch!!!

So little diddums Harry was terrified when William shouted at him. There was me thinking he flew helicopters in a war zone in Afghanisttan. When did he become a wimp? And he says he was advised not to take on the press because he wouldn't win.. That's something any decent PR adviser would have told him. Shame he thought he knew better and escalated things. I think if he'd kept his head down, stopped flying round in a private jet lecturing us plebs about climate change for example, any bad feeling would have blown over and the two of them would now have been loved and valuable members of the "Firm".

[david63]

The overriding impression that I am getting from the reports of the M&H "docuseries" is that they are trying to take on the media and I suspect that is driven by what happened to Diana.

I really cannot understand why they both thought that the media would leave them alone when they are both, in their own right, celebrities. Had they done the same as William and come to an agreement with the press then most of this would have never happened.

One interesting thing that has emerged is that Harry started planning to leave the country back in 2018 - before they were even married.

Rumour has it that William has always been a bit of a Prima Donna, which considering his reputation is very tame…there are some who think he is a nasty piece of work, very false, tells lies and has committed adultery while his wife was giving birth to his child.

I can’t comment of course as I am in fade away transition.

[screwy]

Do you have proof that he committed adultery.? If not ,that is a very serious statement to make.!

It is indeed Screwy and presumably why he got his top Royal lawyers to place gagging orders on anyone who wished to express an opinion on it.

[Mervyn and Trish]

The gagging orders must have been a waste of money since you seem to have chapter and verse!

I wonder if Onelife is looking on Twitter or similar for all the dirt he can find on the Royals. And of course once you ask the question the algorithm will find all the other like minded idiots susceptible souls, with weird and wonderful conspiracy theories, and the inside home cooked lies knowledge, that will feed their own delusions.

[Mervyn and Trish]

My impression is Harry is, for whatever reason, very bitter and twisted. And his credibility is utterly shot through because so much of what was said in the Oprah interview has been proven inaccurate. Not that his supporters would notice that. I'm actually sad because I thought he and Meghan were a breath of fresh air. But then they, and noone else, blew it.

Hi screwy, I don’t have a twitter account in fact I wouldn’t know how I would go about setting one up…any articles that I post are easily googled…a bit like this one…

Robert Jobson,

In his book, William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch, published this year, the 58-year-old Royal Editor of the Evening Standard said William quickly grows angry, often about issues associated with the Royal Family.

He wrote: “[William’s] fiery temper can blow up at any time — usually when he’s frustrated or when it comes to issues regarding his family. Even senior members of his circle will ‘check which way the wind is blowing’ before becoming too self-assured in his presence or raising problematic issues that might be better addressed at another time. Other insiders confide that William can be an emotional character who is, on occasion, ‘difficult to handle'.”

The Daily Express’ royal correspondent, Richard Palmer, has also substantiated these claims, as he said on the Royal Round-Up in May that William “does have a temper behind the scenes sometimes”, but added that the heir to the throne "has broad shoulders" and does take on criticism.

My wife and I have just finished watching the final 3 instalments of Netflix and if you want the truth then I hope you can find some way of watching it as it will only be then that you will have an untainted view of why they have needed to tell their side of the story.

Btw, my wife who is the most honest and sincere person you could ever wish to meet now believes them.
