    Oh Oh! this is sad! about the media's coverage of the Queen funeral, it's suppose to be about the Queen, not Harry and Meghan. But sad to say that the UK media's and Europe and around the world has turn into attacking Prince Harry and Meghan.

    What have they done? nothing just 2 people fell in love and married. They have becomes the enemies of Prince and Meghan. Harry and Meghan's are there just like every other Royal Family to pay respect to the Queen. but it's sad! that the Media's did not respect the Queen and her funeral.

    Boris Johnson and the Queen were riding in a horse-drawn carriage along the Royal Mile…
    Suddenly, the horse lets out a long, godalmighty fart, the kind that sounded like it could strip paint.
    The Queen, embarrassed, leans to Boris and says "I'm sorry about that". "That's quite alright, ma'am," Boris replied "I thought it was the horse."

    Fighting 8.5% inflation (more like 35%) with a 1% Fed funds interest rate is like stopping a forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds

    I watched a video of Queen Elizabeth's ceremony becoming queen and I'm shocked at the lack of pomp and circumstance that Charles got in comparison. It's like an Amazon subscribe and delivery compared to Elizabeth's ceremony.

    … Meghan's kids arent Royals… their mother is disrespectful, distasteful and ghetto… as much as Harry is Royal… only by blood… but a loyal follower of his no class wife… feel sorry for the kids… will become just like their no good mother. Yuk!

    King Charles character is still being defined by how he treated Diana and his reign will be defined by how he treats Harry.

    It's idiotic to lack mere compassion twice .. and yet this family is aiming to break these records

    Abolish the monarchy they should never have existed in the first place a family corrupt to the core who in reality don't give a sh-t about the population. the royal illusions are perpetuated by their media puppets who try to convince the world the monarchy are loved by all. Absolute BS encouraged by the brainwased slaves too dumb to educate themselves to the truth .

    Since neither you, nor I, can read Harry and William's mind, please refrain from any commentary regarding their feelings for each other. Anything anyone says is conjecture. Let them be!

    One can bury her body but not the truth with it. Once returned to the Earth in a package of lies her ghost will freely roam.

    Well my. personal opinion Harry should NOT have been allowed to wear his military uniform…his grandmother took that away from him for quitting being a working royal.

    During the vigil of the late Queen Elizabeth II at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, reporter explained that this tradition started with the death of King George V in 1936. King Edward VIII, Georg V eldest son, decided that he and his brothers, King George's four surviving sons – Edward, Albert, Henry, and George would hold a vigil – guard his coffin. Apparently their mother Queen Mary was so moved by her sons guarding the coffin of their father, that they started this tradition from that time on. Wikipedia explains: "The Vigil of the Princes refers to occasions when members of the British royal family have "stood, guard" during the lying in state of one of their relatives during or as part of a British state or ceremonial funeral. This occurred for King George V in 1936, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 2002, and three times for Queen Elizabeth II in 2022".

    Edit: Wikipedia explains the reason why King Edward VIII took the decission to guard his father's coffin with his than living brothers: "At the procession to George's lying in state in Westminster Hall, the cross surmounting the Imperial State Crown atop George's coffin fell off and landed in the gutter as the cortège turned into New Palace Yard. The new king, George's eldest son Edward, saw it fall and wondered whether it was a bad omen for his new reign. As a mark of respect to their father, George's four surviving sons – Edward, Albert, Henry, and George – mounted the guard, known as the Vigil of the Princes, at the catafalque on the night before the funeral."

    Omg there is NO reconciliation this is all done out of respect for the queen, when all is said and done Harry will be shoved out 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    It appears as if the brothers have reconciled and forgot to tell the royal experts and tabloid press. Harry and his brother live next door to each other and may be having breakfast together each day for all you know. You are the expert of nothing.
