Crikey Posted February 14, 2020 #205 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Meghan's an actress so you'd have thought she'd enjoy all the attention of the camera clicking paparazzi.. As for Harry, I think he blames them for "hounding" his neurotic mother to her death in a high-speed car smash, hence his current attempt to sue papers who say anything he doesn't like. Or perhaps he thinks he's too high-and-mighty for him and Meg to be the centre of attraction for "common" journalists. He's naïve in the extreme to think he can take on the powerful Press.. ‘Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets" - Napoleon Bonaparte "Give me 26 lead soldiers [the keys on a printing press] and I will conquer the world"- Benjamin Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from what I saw in March last year. At least 40 riot vans on standby and dozens of AR vehicles. Never saw that during any of the anti-brexit protests. Obviously, I'll also be charging you for the added security needed for MPs following your rhetoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted February 18, 2020 #212 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Meanwhile, some more royal family news. Quote The Queen has been hit with the news of another divorce in her family – less than a week after her grandson announced that he too was to separate from his wife. The Earl of Snowdon, the son of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones, is to divorce his wife, Serena. Lord Snowdon is nephew to The Queen and married Serena Armstrong-Jones, Countess of Snowdon, in 1993. The news comes less than a week after The Queen’s grandson, Peter Phillips, announced that he was to divorce his wife, Autumn. https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/breaking-more-sorrow-for-the-queen-as-her-nephew-announces-he-is-to-divorce-137783/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted February 19, 2020 #216 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Has Big Bet stopped shielding the paedophile yet? No?

Rupert bear Posted February 23, 2020 #221 Share Posted February 23, 2020 They're made for life. That's fine. He loses his title but the attention seeker he married will do her level best to ensure those Yankee bucks keep rolling in. When the last pop of champagne bubbles die she'll divorce and parasite off the next fool. Or maybe just retire in opulence. They're a pair of clowns.

The Queen has no authority to forbid the brandname "Sussex Royal" or any other brand- and/or trade name, exempt this very brand/trade name has been registered by the Royal House or any of its sub divisions or straw men as copyright holders already. The registration of brand/trade names is subject to international trademark laws and its boards only. Brand/trademarks are territorial and can be filed in each country where protection is sought, under the consideration the name hasnt be registered already in the country its planned to get registered. Example A: if "Sussex Royal" is registered in the UK only, I by myself can get a registration of the name in my home country (if it isnt registered here already), which isnt the UK, and sell products and services under this brand exclusively but I`m not allowed to sell products and services under this brand in the UK or any other country where is is registered but in all countries where it isnt registered. Example B: "Sussex Royal" isnt registered at all so I can get it registered in, e.g., the UK, Germany and Denmark if I want. Means, I can and sell products and services under this brand exclusively in these countries and in all other countries non-exclusively if its not registered there.

According to Bedell, the long-reigning monarch "drew the line on exploiting their royal connection for profit. I think in the process she has showed the sort of flexibility and adherence to standards that strengthen the monarchy." Despite the Queen's fears that the Sussexes' would ultimately exploit their connection to the Royal Family for profit, Meghan reportedly told friends she and Harry wanted to "protect the royal name, not profit off it."
