Ok. I’ve done all three. (Watching at 1.5x speed is very helpful). #HarryandMeghan So where to start …?
Essentially, this is a story of so much promise that ended in acrimony and sadness. With family breakdowns on both sides (Harry and Meghan’s). It’s a pretty sad situation all round

If anyone was in any doubt that Harry and Meghan plan to blame his family and the press for their exit from the UK and the Royal Family, not anymore.
Prince Harry in the second @netflix trailer: “ There is leaking, but there is also the planting of stories”. Harry talked about the “pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution”
In this clip from the @netflix docu-series, the Duke of Sussex refers to it “as a dirty game”.

The is going to be a very tough day for our country.
The first sight of the Queen’s coffin.
#QueenElizabeth In the car following the Hearse is the Queen's daughter Princess Anne and her husband Sir Tim Laurence.
Anne is a formidable person, but this six hour journey behind the Queen’s coffin would challenge the resolve of anyone.

That was a speech which matched the magnitude of the occasion.
#KingCharles Image Immediately the King makes his son William, the Prince of Wales - and Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Wasting no time bestowing that title on his son and heir. Image

Meghan on forgiving the Royals, Harry “losing” his father, her new podcast, and what about the ‘At-Home-With-The-Sussexes’ Netflix series?? (she doesn’t give anything away)
READ: itv.com/news/2022-08-2… Meghan said if she had stayed in the Royal Family, she’d have 40 photographers taking pictures when she did Archie’s school run.
But not what happens: William & Kate take and pick up George/Charlotte without any cameras.

It’s entirely possibly that the accreditation queue for @cop26 will take longer than the train journey to Scotland 🤦🏼‍♂️ The Glaswegian north-westerly wind has already proved too much for the @cop26 banner on the banks of the River Clyde 💨
(Hopefully not a metaphor for the conference 😬)

Starting my non-aviation journey to @cop26. First leg on ⁦@SW_Help⁩ 🚂
I can’t honestly say it’s starting very well 😬 The leg of the train journey from London to @COP26 is continuing to be a little on the problematic side …

Powerful speech from the Duchess of Cornwall tonight on the epidemic of violence against women.
Camilla speaks how “one women is killed by a man every three days. Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa, Wenjing Lin, Geetika Goyal and Bennylyn Burke are names which…must never be forgotten.” Camilla also said spoke about the shocking rape figures: 144,000 women were victims of rape or attempted rape … This equates to roughly 16 of the most serious sexual offences every hour. Sixteen every hour.”
