Harry and Meghan are going through a really rough patch. South Park has made them an international laughing stock by lampooning their royal hypocrisy and predicting the end of their fairy-tale marriage. And Charles has served an eviction notice that they must vacate their royal-funded Windsor cottage, Frogmore, before his Coronation. Of course, Harry and Meghan have been willfully pissing all over the British monarchy and betraying the trust of all members of the royal family. So evicting them is a no-brainer. But Charles is just inviting more pissing and betraying if he evicts Andrew too. Because Andrew might feel he has no choice but to publish his own tell-all. And if Charles thinks Harry’s Spare is damaging, Andrew’s is bound to be doubly so… That said, too little is being made of Harry saying he “always felt different to my family.” Because I am cynical enough to think this is his passive-aggressive way of reacting to Charles evicting him from his home; that is, by disowning Charles as his father. After all, Harry knows this will fuel long-standing speculation that his mother’s lover James Hewitt is his biological father…

Biden and Putin delivered dueling speeches to mark this fateful anniversary. Except that what they said had far more to do with political posturing for domestic audiences in the US and Russia, respectively, than with the war still raging in Ukraine.
