King Charles III will surprise us. The man whose family has served as the physical symbols of colonialism has spent his life trying to free his mind from the calcified prejudices of empire. Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism who will win his country new friends — and some populist enemies — across the world.
The new king has for decades sought to free himself from what he calls “Western materialism” by immersing himself in the world’s second-largest faith. As the Prince of Wales, he threw himself into the study of Islamic textiles, gardens and architecture. But he did not stop there. The king has also studied Arabic to understand the Quran.

As bigotry and Islamophobia grew rampant after 9/11, he doubled down. “This planet’s survival will depend on you understanding that you can achieve unity through diversity,” he said in 2006 in Pakistan, going on to quote the Quran: “Only they pay attention who have hearts; only they believe (or see signs) who have hearts.”

Charles’s admiration of Islam is visible in his personal life and work. He laid out a carpet garden at his beloved home at Highgrove that was inspired by Islamic designs with the plants mentioned in the Quran. He is patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and his Prince’s Foundation’s School of Traditional Arts teaches a wide range of courses on Islamic traditions. He has made visiting Muslim shrines, holy places and even the hugely important Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo part of his royal travels. The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar called him a “fair Western voice” on Islam and celebrated their meeting. Britain’s new top Royal diplomat — though he might not have said so

and what we have thought here for some time
“Meghan’s aides branded her a ‘narcissistic sociopath’ over her demanding behaviour - and gave themselves the name ‘Sussex Survivors Club’, new book claims”
this one is interesting
“Extracts from the book claim that Ms Cohen would tell Edward Young (left), the Queen’s private secretary, and Clive Alderton (right), Charles’s private secretary that if it all went wrong, the Palace needed evidence of the duty of care it had shown to Harry and Meghan”
Meghan and Harry like to sue. We will see how fast they sue the author
Have they sued Tom Bower yet? I bet the authors have their bases covered.
this one will stick with the public
‘Can’t believe I’m not getting paid’: Meghan Markle ‘didn’t understand point of walkabout’
This Valentine book is pretty damning. I just wonder if they waited until the Queens death. Probably not since it takes awhile to gear up for release
More spanish billboards then english in San Jose, PRCA(People’s Republic of Californiastan)
i hope King Charles the Turd appreciates the tongue bath from Ben Judah
Blacks should take Clarence Thomas’ advice.
“At some point, we’re going to be fatigued with everybody being the victim,” Thomas, the second African American to serve on the Supreme Court, said during an on-stage interview at the Library of Congress in Washington.
Thomas, a conservative appointed to the bench in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, recalled recently being with a young black woman in Kansas who told him, “I’m really tired of having to play the role of being black. I just want to go to school.”
“I just get worn down,” Thomas said.
The justice said his grandfather had a tough life but never considered himself a victim.
A lot of Charlie’s relatives actually were Nazis. We are finding out now that Charlie’s mum was more of a Christian than anybody said she was when she was alive. Maybe Charlie, in spite of his interest in Islam, may turn out to be the same. In any case, the family didn’t shut him out like they did his uncle so he shouldn’t be as rebellious and hostile as Uncle Eddie was.
the video of elizabeth doing the heil hitler salute got a little play during her mourning period but not by any media outlet. just social media

At least, now we know why the staff are white.
Nobody will believe them if they complain of bullying and Meghan can chuck it down to racism.
A black staff complaining of bullying will cause an uproar.
They will NEVER hire a black professional on their Frontline team.
Read later.
I wouldn’t let him edit the book. Release it as-is. Last week there were reports he wanted it published immediately. And Spotify should go on and release her podcasts. Don’t let her edit.

“He used to send them horrible emails. So rude
Palace needed evidence of the duty of care it had shown to Harry and Meghan.”
“Evidence.
BP knew their game and they have evidence of it.
This is a warning and a challenge.
Harry has a book coming out.
BP are ready.
Is he?”
I have to say it is deeply fascinating to me to watch this drama play out. Two mentally ill nitwits trying to take on the British Monarchy.
Meghan is not Princess Di. She doesn’t have that kind of support. Neither does Harry anymore
Monarchy gonna slice and dice the idiots
