Professor smeared as racist for ‘dreaded Meghan’ comment won’t go down without a fight

A UK art professor whose livelihood was thrust into doubt after she lost her accreditation following innocent remarks about Meghan Markle is fighting back, taking legal action claiming a breach of contract by a national arts organization.

Dr. Anne Anderson who is an honorary professor at the esteemed Exeter University was thrust into a living hell after she made comments about the Duchess of Sussex prior to a Zoom lecture on IKEA furniture last year during small-talk about Markle and her emasculated husband Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, words that would be used to smear her as a racist and cut off a major source of her income.

Spare us Prince Harry’s woke holidays

‘Sustainable’ tourism patronises locals and travellers alike.

The jet-setting Prince Harry has a lot to say about how other people should live. So it is no surprise that his woke gaze has now turned to tourism – ‘sustainable’ tourism, naturally.

Travalyst is a new venture led by the Duke of Sussex, in partnership with big travel firms like Booking.com, Expedia, Google, Skyscanner, Trip.com, Tripadvisor and Visa. Its aim is to develop a ‘sustainability’ scoring system, which can bring about ‘the systemic changes needed in order for sustainable travel to be taken out of the niche and into the mainstream’. So far, it succeeds only in patronising locals and tourists alike.

Canada’s indigenous leaders ask for royal apology

Indigenous leaders met Prince Charles in Canada and asked for an apology from the Queen over the “assimilation and genocide” of indigenous schoolchildren.

RoseAnne Archibald, Assembly of First Nations national chief, said the prince “acknowledged” failures in handling the relationship with indigenous people.

Canada is dealing with a scandal which saw indigenous children die or be abused in residential schools.

 


I don’t see GB giving up its Royal tradition but I wonder if the Firm will cut all foreign ties of their own initiative. It must be a lot of bother being heckled everywhere you go and the woke nagging just isn’t playing well.

Constitutional monarchy serves us well — but its figureheads have a serious image problem

There was some tittering on the Internet last week when Prince Charles, opening a new session of the British Parliament on behalf of his ailing mother, relayed the government’s commitment to helping “ease the cost of living for families” while sitting upon a golden throne.

In fairness to Charles, he was only doing his job. For that matter, a case can be made that the event at the Palace of Westminster — what’s called the Queen’s Speech in the United Kingdom and the Speech from the Throne in Canada — was actually less ridiculous than the self-aggrandizing and airy State of the Union address the American president delivers each year.

Charlie The Royal Tampon says Canada must confront ‘darker’ aspects of its past

Prince Charles says Canada must confront ‘darker’ aspects of its past

… In an address at the Confederation Building in St. John’s, the seat of Newfoundland and Labrador’s government where they were greeted by a military salute and cheering school children waving miniature Canadian and Newfoundland flags, Prince Charles acknowledged he’s arrived in Canada at a time of historic reckoning with its Indigenous people.

“We must find new ways to come to terms with the darker and more difficult aspects of the past, acknowledging, reconciling and striving to do better,” he told a crowd of dignitaries, in a speech in both French and English. “It is a process that starts with listening. My wife and I look forward to listening to you, and learning.”

Britain’s last royal jubilee?

The celebration of the Queen’s 70 years on the throne comes as the young question the monarchy’s purpose.

On the surface, the United Kingdom’s royal jubilees have been jolly affairs — all pomp and pageantry, marching bands and parading redcoats, bunting and commemorative souvenirs, street parties, warm beer and cake.

In this regard, undoubtedly, Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee next month, for which celebrations already began on Sunday, will be no different. But all royal jubilees also come with a sense of public apprehension — and this will once again be the case.

The first time the country celebrated a monarch’s jubilee in a significant public way was the Golden Jubilee in 1809 of King George III — the “mad king” who lost the American colonies. Loyal inhabitants of an Oxfordshire village decided to name every child born during the year either Jubilee George or Jubilee Charlotte, after the sovereign’s wife.

The Queen BANS Harry and Meghan and Andrew from Buckingham Palace balcony on her Platinum Jubilee

Not amused.

Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK risks becoming the ‘focus’ of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, royal experts warned tonight – after the couple announced their comeback just minutes after it was revealed they were banned from the Buckingham Palace balcony.

A sensational statement at 3pm said the couple – as well as the Duke of York – would not be invited onto the balcony for Trooping the Colour, the spectacular start of her long weekend of celebrations.

Netflix ‘quietly cancels’ series created by Duchess of Sussex

The former ‘Suits’ actress – who, along with her husband, abandoned royal duties for a life in Los Angeles back in 2020 – created the series through the couple’s Archewell Productions company and had described it as a family series that centres on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who finds inspiration in a variety of influential women throughout history.

Russian billionaire is behind mansion that housed Harry and Meghan, leaked files show

It’s been an international enigma for the last two years: Who really owns the lavish Vancouver Island estate where Prince Harry and Meghan wintered in 2020 as they reportedly hashed out their plan to step back from official royal duties?

Is it the Russian-born billionaire who several media outlets linked to the property? Is it Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, as (erroneously) reported by the New York Post’s Page Six?

CBC and Radio-Canada found the answer, and it does indeed involve a Russian, but it wasn’t easy — it took an international leak of tax-haven data, access to a company’s internal records and intense research. All that, experts say, shows once again just how opaque Canada is when it comes to assets like real estate and who owns it.

This Oligarch should have his assets seized just for inflicting Woke Harry and Meghan on us.

Prince Andrew’s statement seems to contradict answers he gave me – Emily Maitlis

It is an image now burned into my brain: Prince Andrew, in the eaves of Buckingham Palace, trying to explain to me why he thought a Newsnight interview might be a good idea.

He wanted to get across his innocence. He wanted to tell me he had never met the woman who was accusing him of sex trafficking. He wanted to try and prove that it hadn’t been him in the now-infamous photograph in Ghislaine Maxwell’s house – an arm flung around Virginia Giuffre.

And as he prepared his defence, something became very clear to our team: that this interview – albeit without any legal bearing whatsoever – would have to be as forensic as any court document. The questions were what any journalist would want to ask. But they were asked in a way that would make them a legitimate public record.

Prince Andrew was ‘constant sex pest’ and tried to hug me after naked massages, says royal’s ex-physio

A PHYSIOTHERAPIST claims ex-client Prince Andrew tried to hug her after NAKED massages in his bedroom.

Emma Gruenbaum says he was her creepiest customer after sessions at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

The 50-year-old speaks out today after Andrew’s legal team said his sex-case accuser Virginia Giuffre “may suffer from false memories”.

Emma was a 34-year-old sports massage therapist at the Wentworth Club in Surrey when she started treating Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in early 2005.
