Today I watched the D-Day ceremonies on Canadian TV. It's not that I'm a fan of CBC, but it was difficult to find a US broadcast that was not delayed, edited and polished by liberal sycophants. And to be even more honest, I could not stomach hearing Joe Biden making a "heartfelt" speech on such sacred ground before he pooped his pants.The Canadian ceremony included Justine Turd-oh, Prince William and the PM of France, Gabriel Attal. All went pretty well. When the ceremony was over. the 3 dignitaries started to shake hands with each of the 13 Normandy vets present....

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, PR expert Ryan McCormick suggested: "This devastating news will likely jolt William into reassessing what he truly values most in life. As cancer grips both his father and wife, the Prince of Wales may hastily reconcile with Harry. "Yes they have had their differences but, they probably need each other now more than ever." Ryan also suggested the two brothers may come together to offer their support to others who have been affected by cancer. He told us: "I think in the coming days and months, William will become an advocate for cancer victims....

"William would be upset that Harry yet again has chosen to make this visit to see his father a PR opportunity," Seward added. "As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until Harry behaves like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and slurs he has aimed at William and the Princess of Wales."T

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's royal family forced the late Princess Diana to blood test her younger son, Prince Harry, to prove he was not the offspring of an affair with an army officer, according to a newspaper report. Diana, who died in 1997, did not tell Harry why his blood was being taken, the Sun newspaper said in extracts from a book by Simone Simmons, an "energy healer" billed as a former close friend and confidante of the princess. Senior royals, notably Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip, feared that their son, Prince Charles, who was married to Diana, might not...

The Prince of Wales is launching a five-year, locally led plan in six flagship locations around the UK that will demonstrate it is possible to end homelessness, Kensington Palace announced on Monday.

Prince Harry has claimed his brother William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor during a heated argument over his wife Meghan Markle.

Prince William and King Charles exploded into 'torrents of profanity' following comments from Donald Trump about Kate Middleton’s 2012 topless photo scandal, a new book has claimed. After the photographs of the then Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing topless in Provence, France, were published in the French magazine Closer, the business mogul took to Twitter to comment. The former president, 76, tweeted: ‘Kate Middleton is great--but she shouldn’t be sunbathing in the nude--only herself to blame.’ He added: ‘Who wouldn’t take Kate’s picture and make lots of money if she does the nude sunbathing thing. Come on Kate!’ The advance copy...

After the death of Queen Elizabeth and the reunion of the "Fab Four," Prince Harry, Prince William, Meghan Markle, and Kate Middleton, many people were hoping that the brothers and their wives would be able to work out their differences once and for all. However, according to reports, Meghan and Harry returned home to Montecito without mending their relationship with the rest of the family. While Harry confirmed on numerous occasions he and his brother are estranged, it has never been established exactly why the two, who were once very close, stopped talking in the first place. However, a new...

Prince William quietly wrote to the girlfriend of Capitol riot cop Brian Sicknick who died from a stroke a day after the insurrection last year, offering his condolences and praising him for 'upholding democracy'. Sicknick's death has been the subject of ferocious political debate. Democrats blamed the rioters for his death and in the immediate aftermath of the riot, it was claimed he died as the result of being hit over the head with a fire extinguisher. A medical examiner last year ruled that he died of natural causes brought on by two massive strokes, but they could not prove...

Britain’s royal family is likely in its “end game” — and will probably not “outlast” Prince William’s eventual reign as king, according to an award-winning UK author and dame. “I think it’s the end game. I don’t know how much longer the institution will go on,” Dame Hilary Mantel told the Telegraph. “I’m not sure if it will outlast William. So I think it will be their last big era,” predicted the “Wolf Hall” author, who was awarded the Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2006 and then made a dame by Prince Charles in...
