Another moon


The full moon rising yesterday at dusk. With my photographic equipment (an old phone) you will never see the crystal clear magic of it, or the wonderful colours of the sky around it.

So Harry and Megan waited a few weeks after the Queen's funeral before they set Netflix off with the series for which they were paid millions. The bad blood blood is boiling over.

I didn't exactly warm to Megan at the start, but thought she might bring a little freshness into the family business. Little did I know she would start hammering nails into the coffin. Harry's bitterness is all down to the hounding of Diana by the media and the taking of sides by the BBC. The 'three people in this marriage' interview was granted by blatant and criminal forgery. Anything for a good story.

I am a monarchist and I don't like the idea of a so-called democratic republic. Soon they will turn the House of Lords into an elected establishment. I don't know whether that will be an improvement on what we have now, which is new peers created by whatever government is in power, but elections have gone sour over the past few years. It has been proven that you cannot trust the public to make the right pragmatic decisions when it comes down to it, so - bad as it can be - I would prefer to rely the sense of duty which was supposed to be instilled in the aristocrats long before they inherited the titles. That will never happen now unless we get a dictator.

  1. H & M seem to be on the warpath. Personally, I think they are losing credibility at a rapid pace. They are hellbent and that never ends well. I do not know enough about British governing bodies to comment on structure and process. I will say, recent elections in the US spoke well for our voting and election system.

  2. The person who comes out so well and with such dignity in my book is Catherine- she and William seem to have risen above it.

    1. Yes, they have taken on the role. I think there is often resentment from the youngest.

  6. Harry's gripe seems to be the lack of training of outsiders who come in. He's absolutely right, in both the instance of his mother and Sarah. But I have no solution, so I'll simply say your moon shot is lovely and Good Night.

    1. I think some of them have rejected the training.

  7. Harry lies.
    Meghan was given help from one of the Queen's closest assistants for a full six months after her marriage. But of course, being the person she is, she figured she knew it all, so ignored any advice given.

    Hi Tom.

    1. Hello Rozzie. I think she rejected the advice.

  8. I used to consider Harry a breath of fresh air for the Royals during his army/helicopter days. h
    However this woman seems to have taken him over and embellished his understandable resentment for the press's treatment of his mother, Diana. I believe that in Palace circles he is referred to as "the Hostage".

    I too am a monarchist. I believe that Charles will make a good king (he has had long enough to train for it) and is much preferable as a head of state to some little man with a big ego and a ridiculous moustache..

    However something must be done about our wrecked political system. If there were a general election at present I woulod not vote for any of them. Perhaps, like in WW 2, we should have a national government, do away with the party system and make all members independent.

    1. Our political system is being deliberately wrecked. Royal Mail has been going through the wrecking process for about 15 years or more. It's now in the final stages.

  9. In the end it is just pure entertainment by the press, getting our knickers in a twist will not change anything. I'm more cross at the idiot who threw an egg at King Charles - riotous lot!

    1. I don't spend too much time thinking about them, but they are difficult to ignore.

  11. She expected to be treated like a star. Instead she was given a supporting role. The Queen was the star. Divas don't like that.
