What hell is this?
I knew Markle wasn’t picked and the move to the US wasn’t done for nothing, but this is truly offensive:
“Now, I hear that the monarch could make the president an offer he might find tempting.
And one which could help dampen down tensions between the White House and Canada, of which the King is head of state.
Plans are being made for the USA to become the next ‘associate member’ of the Commonwealth.
...
The proposals were made by the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS), with the apparent backing of Queen Elizabeth, during Trump’s first term as president, but did not come to fruition. Now, the plans have been revived, with members of the society hopeful that the King will make the case to Trump when he meets him.
‘This is being discussed at the highest levels,’ a member claimed this week, telling me: ‘It would be a wonderful move that would symbolise Britain’s close relationship with the US.
‘Donald Trump loves Britain and has great respect for the Royal Family, so we believe he would see the benefits of this. Associate membership could, hopefully, be followed by full membership, making the Commonwealth even more important as a global organisation.’”
Old story. From a slightly more respectable publication:
The USA was NEVER under Brit rule, as were ALL of the members of the Commonwealth Nations. Yes, we were a colony, once, but only a wee sliver of this country, was, back then. There was no such thing at all, as "the commonwealth", when we fought the Brits and won.
It makes less than NO sense at all for this nutcase to propose this, I highly doubt that King Charles would EVER even entertain bringing up such a proposal to Trump, and in truth...it's a MEANINGLESS gesture.
