Using Daily Mail upticks vs downticks as a metric, 90% are against Meghan and 10% are in favour. Still, they can make a lot of money from that 10%.

I remember Prince Edward tried to make a career in the media but found that the only thing that people would pay him for was content that was royal family related. I'm guessing that will be the fate of Harry and Megan as well, for the next 5 years we can look forward to them selling content about the royal family until gradually they lose relevance and William's kids take over as the main centres of attention.

So the newspaper headlines are going with the fact that one unnamed person in the palace asked how dark Archie's skin would be. Since the baby is only one quarter black and his mother has very light skin, that seems to me to be a distraction. The real takeaway for me is that they dissed Charles and Kate Middleton, but they didn't dare diss the queen. That is an indication of perhaps how high they see themselves in the hierarchy, whereas in effect they are just about on the level of Prince Edward and his wife.

So they gave her a £30m wedding and now she's accusing the royal family (and by implication the Queen) of lying. Harry must be thinking oh s*** what have I done..

Yes - as I said in the first post on this thread - Fiat Uno time

So now the previous multiple bullying allegations are resurfacing, the car crash interview is about to be aired, Phil is on his death bed. Curious to see how this plays out ...

Me old grandma made it to 3 days after her 100th birthday. I'd guess Phil will be in a similar ball park.

They need to expunge that wink from the records. It has duly been reclassified as a face mask adjustment.

Imagine if he dies on the same day Meghan's car crash interview with Oprah is released.

The wives of the Beatles are dying in the wrong order

Another huge miss .... for me

If it was one from each continent I'd do it

What a huge miss. He was definitely someone who I thought had died a long while ago, and I imagine others thought the same.

Having a close knowledge of WWF, a lot of the individual country operations are money-making franchises. They pay licence fees to head office in Switzerland and then are free to raise money in their own markets. It is not under global control like Save the Children or others. The panda symbol is worth millions and takes away donations from other better run and more humble NGOs. And as you say, in most countries there are no pandas anyway, so the money goes to other things. For example one thing I have seen is a WWF office pay off a huge loan to take freehold ownership of its building, something that most NGOs could never dream of, and this is because of the excess cash it has.

He'll get the 4th plinth
