Excellent post. The more indiscrete they are the more difficult it becomes for them to be accepted into elite circles like Hollywood. Their long term plan does not seem very well thought through. They have fired all their bullets but were will that leave them in terms of relevance etc in a few years? Not where they want to be I suspect.

Oh I genuinely had no idea @nantonian2013 too. Thanks.

Ken Livingstone doesn't seem to be omnipresent in the media anymore. Health issues? Might be worth keeping an eye on.

I don't believe they were put through a traumatic time and I don't think it's wise regardless to use that to downplay their bad behaviour. No not one sided because William hasn't responded but one sided as in the account given leaves out basic details about Harry's role in the fight. He is not obliged to see himself as an innocent victim in every encounter. He could be more honest with himself. Many people are. When I describe a row with someone I don't paint myself as 100% innocent. Also he is claiming William and Kate told him to wear the Nazi uniform. Sounds like he is stuck as a teenager nothing is ever his fault.

If they were being consistent and were as fully embracing equality as they claim then they should be just as keen on reconciling with Thomas Markle as they are with the wealthy royal family.

Good post. Also many people who were say 16-30 when Diana died were pro Diana over the royal family. As they have become older and see things in a more nuanced, rounded and less black and white way their opinion of Diana versus the royal family has changed. They see the complexity with Diana and with the situation and less of the innocent saintly victim and evil royal family and establishment. So anyone emotionally investing in the notion that under 40s may be more sympathetic to Harry and Meghan and thus anti monarchy are going to be disappointed in the long run.

The account of the alleged fight with William sounds incredibly one sided. He says he called a therapist after the fight but said in the Oprah interview he felt too ashamed to get his wife help when she said she was suicidal. I don't find that believable. People whether they are pro or anti monarchy can see the inconsistencies and details that don't make sense. There is a perfectly rational case for not believing in monarchy without attaching yourself supportively to Meghan and Harry's tales of woe. Harry and Meghan fully believe in monarchy.

On this day one year ago in 2022 american actress Tanya Roberts died aged 71 as a result of sepsis caused by a severe urinary tract infection. Her death was inaccurately reported prematurely by the media several days before her death. Tanya was the Bond Girl opposite Roger Moore in A View to a kill.

You are a star @Ulitzer95 Many thanks!

Thank you very much.

Thanks .She must be in her eighties at least. The photo I posted I believe is from an episode of Prisoner Cell Block H in either 1985 or 1986 so it depends how old we think she looks in that photo I posted because I can't find a year of birth. Are we sure that is her in the video?

Oscar nominated american actress Dyan Cannon celebrates her 86th birthday today. British celebrity chef and restaurenter Rick Stein celebrates turning 76 today.

I'm having trouble establishing if australian actress Marion Dimmick who played 'background ' prison officer Andrea Radcliffe in Prisoner Cell Block H in the 1980s is still alive. Her character started to appear in more scenes in the shows final years but was still not a prominent main character. Rumour has it she was going to have her role beefed up in the show before it was axed in 1986. Are any deathlist sleuths able to help or advise please as some basic research has yielded nothing? Thanks.
