[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cambridges already on a warpath complaining. No one told them to schedule their tour two weeks after Harry's and Meghan's concluded. They had an entire spring and summer (during which they took MONTHS off) to go on tour while Meghan was pregnant and post-partum. That and they just have bad luck that their tour started the day of the Queen's Speech and opening of Parliament (notice they don't complain about that) and Boris Johnson's getting a landmark Brexit deal on the day before their tour ended. [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHMOaPcX4AEfho7?format=jpg&name=900x900[/img][/quote] There's nothing they can do about it. I remember when it was announced that Harry and Meghan would not receive a separate court at Windsor and instead all their communications would fall under Buckingham Palace and the Queen's eye. Well, now Buckingham is backing the Sussexes and there isn't a damned thing the Cambridges or Kensington Palace can do about it. [b]Buckingham Palace was helping to promote a documentary about Harry and Meghan's Africa tour releasing clips of Harry criticising the press and Meghan saying how tough it had been for her as a new mum.[/b] https://news.sky.com/story/royal-tour-william-and-kate-have-shown-how-they-should-be-done-11839071[/quote] Sorry, can you translates for me? What does separate court at Windsor mean? Buckingham = Queen? Who’s Kesington?[/quote] Each of the 'Senior' royals - the Queen and her husband, the Prince of Wales (Charles) and his wife, and Prince William (the heir's heir) and his wife have their own 'court'. A court is essentially an independent office for their staff, media personnel, and advisors to coordinate their activities independent of interference from anyone else. Like the President of the United States has the West Wing and traditionally the First Lady has an East Wing. Or the President's office versus the Secretary of State's office. Traditionally only the monarch and the heir apparent have a court, so QEII and Charles, but circumstances are different because William is his late 30s and they decided not to wait until he was Prince of Wales. Anyway, Prince Harry petitioned for a court and to have his based at Windsor Castle. For reference, the courts are traditionally based at the senior royals residence. So the Queen's court is at Buckhingham Palace. Prince Charles's court is at Clarence House. Prince William's court is at Kensington Palace. Harry argued that he was a senior royal and doing far more work than his brother and his wife who have their own court. But his petition was denied because yada-yada he's not the heir. End of story: Prince Harry was instead given his own staff and press media team AT Buckingham Palace under the supervision of the Queen's court. So everything he does is run by the Queen and her aides [i]first[/i]. While William and Charles' actions don't need to be first checked by the Queen's aides only in line with expectation. So anyone complaining about his documentaries or what not can take their complaints straight to the Queen. Nothing goes out with her team's approval.[/quote]
