That maybe so but he said he regularly went on tour with him and I’ve seen him interact with royals on TV. They seem to get on ok. Do you thinking he lying? He certainly knows him better than most if not all on here.

Here you go, Daily Mail now have an article. I’m sure if there’s no truth in it they issue another writ. I mean why wouldn’t you?

I have no doubt he has spoken to members of the Royal Family and that they may know him by name but I do not think he, or any other press photographer has a real insight into the private lives of the Royal Family or knowledge of the current situation.

Arthur Edwards's opinions provide nice little soundbites for the media, nothing more.

Interesting article about where they get their money. Most of it is from his dad. Whether you agree with a dad supporting an adult child or not. It’s not public money.

They also get some from the sovereign grant. This is a grant from money that the queen gives to the government. The Crown owns land which earns money. Rather than that being kept by the Royal family it goes to the Treasury who return 25% of it to the Queen.

Yes there will be security costs. I imagine they would both prefer it if they didn’t need security. Would you want security guards following your every move?

Of course nobody did compare them to a haemorrhoid!

Madame Tussauds seem to have taken the news quite badly.

There has been over 250 posts on this thread, and just over 30 on a thread focused on Iran and US. I find that fascinating.

Had a peep.
Someone trying to partly blame Trump for the airliner being shot down by the Iranians.
Worn out by the Pre Christmas Political Forum!
Rather read a bit of knockabout about these two.
For my opinion on this, Piers Morgan is spot on.
