Sarah Ferguson Urges Fans To Check Moles And Praises Her Dermatologist For Detecting Skin Cancer Early

Sarah Ferguson has urged fans to ‘be diligent’ and check moles following her shock skin cancer diagnosis.

The Duchess of York expressed gratitude to her dermatologist for identifying malignant melanoma, a dangerous kind of skin cancer, only a few months after she had breast cancer surgery.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother acknowledged that receiving a second diagnosis had come as a “shock,” but she also stated that she was in “good spirits” and appreciative of all the kind words and support she had received.

After receiving the news, the 64-year-old said in an Instagram post that was posted today that she was taking some time for herself. She had her mastectomy in June, during which numerous moles were removed during reconstructive surgery.

One was found to be malignant, and in order to ensure that the disease has been detected early, she is currently receiving further medical attention.

She went on to say that her experience highlighted the significance of regularly monitoring newly discovered moles and recommended that readers exercise caution.

The Duchess wrote: ‘I have been taking some time to myself as I have been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, my second cancer diagnosis within a year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

‘It was thanks to the great vigilance of my dermatologist that the melanoma was detected when it was.

‘Naturally, another cancer diagnosis has been a shock, but I’m in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support.

‘I believe my experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, colour, texture, and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma, and urge anyone who is reading this to be diligent.

‘I am incredibly thankful to the medical teams that have supported me through both of these experiences with cancer and to the MAYRLIFE Clinic for taking gentle care of me in the past weeks, allowing me time for recuperation. I am resting with family at home now, feeling blessed to have their love and support.’

The duchess’s representative stated last night that while she “remains in good spirits,” her diagnosis had been “distressing” to receive so soon after her eight-hour surgery for breast cancer.

The news of her diagnosis was released on Sunday, coinciding with the Princess of Wales’s continued hospitalisation following stomach surgery and the King’s impending admission for treatment of an enlarged prostate.

All of this is excellent news for the Duchess of York, but there are still a lot of individuals on the NHS who are waiting for treatments and appointments, and appointments have already been cancelled twice because of staffing shortages and NHS strikes.

Her procedure is private, therefore it won’t be cancelled. Many people either pay into a private medical plan on a regular basis or receive it as a benefit of their employment.

We should be angry with the Tories for decades of cutbacks, not at the Duchess of York since she has the choice, and at the striking NHS doctors and nurses who blatantly prioritise profits over the well-being of their patients.

What people don’t seem to understand is that if you pay to go private, you’re taking the NHS doctors away from others who are equally in need but can’t afford it.

More NHS doctors will transition to private practice, either full- or part-time, as demand for private treatment increases. This means that privatisation is gradually but steadily taking hold.

High Hopes For The Future

A classic high-street brand that has been cherished by consumers for over a century may make a comeback in the UK.

In 2009, the shop closed its 807 locations nationwide and vanished from our streets.

Before it was struck by the economic crisis, the store, which was well-known for its pick-and-mix sweets and affordable purchases, was as British as fish and chips.

But now Woolworths might be making a comeback, as the German CEO says new UK stores are on his “bucket list.”

The Mirror reports that Woolworth Germany’s European development is being spearheaded by Roman Heini.

Mr Heini said, “I don’t know of any brands where the recognition will be as high as it is in Britain without having any stores.

“We have secured all the trademarks for the brand for the whole of Europe, so we could operate if we make the decision.

“It may be in the mix for the mid- or long-term future.”

In 2009, Woolworth Germany also went bankrupt, but it later emerged and expanded into Poland and Austria.

It has more than 600 shops, does not sell online, and specialises in own-brand household goods and clothing, including underwear.

Mr. Heini, who oversaw Aldi and Lidl in the past, stated to the trade publication Retail Week that there are over 300 million potential customers in Europe but that there isn’t a single dominant company.

“The market is still there to be divided between the potential players for the future.”

It comes as we reveal the exact locations where our beloved store, Wilko, will return.

When beloved Wilko announced that it would be shutting down all of its stores, hearts shattered across the nation.

However, it is currently making a resurgence by opening new stores that will “offer shoppers everything they need” throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

I’m hoping this is the case since I miss being able to visit Woolworths and get a large bag of pick’n’mix, some stationery, and a birthday card.

One store I miss is Woolworths, and I hope it comes back.

Uber Driver Cloned Coutts Bank Card And Gambled Away £153,000

After gambling away £153,000 from another man’s bank account, an Uber driver was spared jail time.

Fezan Burki, 35, registered with six different bookmakers using a Coutts bank card that was replicated from Benjamin Fox.

A card belonging to Mr Fox’s wife, Kerry, was also used in the fraud, the Old Bailey heard.

Burki, of St John’s Way, Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, had his phones confiscated by police on March 17, 2018, and it was discovered that he had pictures of fifteen other people’s passports, bank cards, and driver’s licences.

On November 17, 2018, he entered a guilty plea to charges of fraud by false representation and possession of goods for fraud during a hearing held at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. In addition, he said that some of the deception was done to support his kids.

Due to mental health concerns, the Uber driver was able to avoid jail time through mitigation.

Defence counsel Lawrence Harris said his client was ‘out of his mind’ at the time due to the complex PTSD brought on by a knife attack at the hands of his brother-in-law in November 2018.

The court heard that the incident caused him to require 52 staples and left him with a 12-inch scar, which ultimately caused his marriage to fail.

Furthermore, according to Mr Harris, Coutts was the lone victim in this situation because the bank was able to return the entire £153,305.67 after conducting an inquiry.

Mr Harris said, ‘He took desperate, irrational, and unlawful steps to acquire money with the intention, in part, of providing for all of his children.

‘The use of fraudulent money via gambling to benefit his children is the best example of his irrationality… He was always going to be caught.

‘Coutts is a bank with highly sophisticated internal investigation systems. He was out of his mind at the time.’

Prosecutor Sonya Foxsmith stated that when his wife’s card was copied, Mr. Fox became aware of suspicious activities while travelling.

The private bank, which is used by the wealthy and well-known, including the late Queen, informed the police.

They tracked down the phone numbers signed up by the betting companies and traced them to Burki, who was then arrested at his mum’s home in Essex.

But Ms Foxsmith said there were ‘ongoing financial investigations’ by police, and confiscation proceedings were likely as Coutts has been unable to recover the amount in full.

To suggest that the punishment he received was inadequate would be an understatement. It is not appropriate for its intended purpose.

They refer to this as British justice. What a joke and the UK judicial system is a worldwide laughing stock. Who said that crime doesn’t pay? And what’s the point of being law-abiding if judges are going to carry on giving out silly sentences?

For any severe crime, non-custodial penalties appear to be the norm these days. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO to be held accountable?

Playdate Cancelled After Daughter Refused To Do Chores

A MUM has been slammed for cancelling her daughter’s playdate so she can catch up with chores.

Ruth, from Mexico, took to social media, claiming it was important kids don’t ‘do whatever the hell they want.’

Emma, her nine-year-old daughter, is seen in the video unhappily folding her clothing while her mother records her.

In the video, the mother gave a detailed explanation of what transpired and the reason she postponed her daughter’s playdate until the next day after the chores were finished.

Ruth wrote: “Emma thought it was ok to tell me she didn’t feel like folding her clothes before going out to play with her little friends.

“Well, I cancelled the playdate until tomorrow.”

The mother of two continued by explaining why, in her opinion, it was crucial to establish these limits for Emma at an early age.

“It’s NOT ok for your kids to do whatever the hell they want,” she continued.

“They’ll eat you alive as teens if they don’t comprehend that they need to contribute to household chores, more so when it’s their clothes.”

Despite not entirely cancelling the playdate and instead postponing it for the following day after she finished her duties, Emma’s tweet received mixed reactions from viewers.

The clip posted to her TikTok account @lifewithruthandjordan, went viral with over 1 million views and 140k likes.

The mother who cancelled her daughter’s plans and then filmed it on social media, according to many, was way too strict.

One person wrote: “Yeah, ok, but if you had an exciting day planned but realised you hadn’t folded the laundry, would you cancel your day for it… or just enjoy your day.”

Another commented: “Parent however you want, but filming your child afterwards for the whole internet is so strange.”

“My mum did this. I did not thank her later,” penned a third.

Others, meanwhile, believed Emma was doing a fantastic job of establishing in her daughter a strong work ethic.

A fourth said, “Also Latina. This helped me take care of my space and my own things, such as my clothes, room, etc. I’m super glad my mum did this.”

“Yep! This just freaking shapes you. So scary to have so many negative comments about this. The world we live in,” replied Ruth.

“Great job, mama! Do as you’re told, take responsibility, and then you get to have your fun,” claimed a fifth.

Children need boundaries in order to develop into polite, self-assured adults, but however necessary your rules and boundaries are, children often push and fight against them and will test those limits.

When it comes to boundaries and limits, kids need to know. Both you and they cannot prosper or exist without them! Simple, unambiguous rules are easier to follow. You could find yourself repeating the rules because children don’t have the best recall of them. Make sure they understand your expectations as well as the possible consequences of breaking them.

Having boundaries tells your child that the adult is in charge because they’re looking after them, and limits and consequences teach children to make good choices. Children can then create their own boundaries and say ‘no’ to situations that may hurt them.

Not having any limits sows the seeds of narcissism and entitlement. It also encourages a child to think about the people and things around them as things that exist to meet their needs and give them what they want.

If a child is not given any boundaries, their personality can often lead to unhealthy relationships, manipulation, control, and resentment. It can also lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Self-Checkouts At Supermarkets Make Shoppers Less Loyal, As They Feel Abandoned To Do Everything Themselves

Self-checkouts at supermarkets can make customers less loyal to the store, a new study has revealed.

Over the years, the majority of UK branches have implemented self-checkouts, claiming that they are simpler, faster, and less expensive.

Although shoppers are increasingly drawn to the efficiency they offer, it comes at the cost of a personal touch, along with the addition of technical nuisances when scanning through several items.

In a study, Drexel University researchers in the US found that the impact of loyalty may be explained by the perceived ease of checkout and the sense that one is left to handle everything themselves.

They said that the quantity of goods bought during a visit to the business affects how the style of checkout affects a customer’s loyalty.

Professor Yanliu Huang said: ‘Our findings indicate that self-checkout systems, despite their advantages in terms of speed, ease of use, and cost reduction, can result in lower customer loyalty compared to regular checkout systems, especially when the number of purchased items is relatively high, say over 15.’

Having to utilise the automated checkouts required more work for those who had a big shopping list, which made them feel unsatisfied with the store.

Customers felt that they were being left on their own without assistance from employees, which negatively reflected on the store.

Human cashiers frequently act as a welcoming face in the business, striking up conversations and lending a helping hand to create a sense of community.

The rapid, transactional nature of automated systems, on the other hand, lacks the attentive, problem-solving touch that clients value.

After it was found that the issue hadn’t been looked at before, Drexel University scientists published their study in the Journal of Business Research.

The team conducted five studies that showed customers are more likely to remain loyal to the grocery store when using regular checkout service.

They found loyalty is demonstrated by an increased likelihood of returning to the store in the future.

The extra effort required to checkout along with bag purchases and the expectation of being served by the store were negative consequences of self-checkout and decreased loyalty to the store.

But Dr Huang said, ‘We found that when customers were encouraged to think of the extra effort involved in self-checkout as a rewarding experience, their perceived loyalty to the store was similar to those of regular checkout shoppers.

We should probably receive a discount when we use them, as they save money on hiring staff, and the fact that they will lead to fewer jobs is just another incentive not to use them whenever possible, but perhaps we should also get a discount on petrol because we pump our own at the petrol station.

I hate self-checkouts and refuse to use them unless I have no other choice because they’re using the public to be their employees, and we don’t even get paid for it. Plus, it also puts people out of work.

Additionally, stealing from self-checkouts is far simpler.

Simply said, communication has stopped. For those who live alone, there is no one to chat to at the register. It would have been a blessing for them to have a pleasant cashier to converse with, even for a little while. Naturally, the government will eventually have us confined to our houses, where we will be forced to purchase online without ever seeing a store.

You can convince yourself that self-checkouts are a good idea but they’re not, and our stores will slowly decline. They want you to spend your money and then get the hell out of there. Why don’t they just roll the pallets onto the floor and then let us dig through them to find what we want?

The Descent Into World War III

The surge in global conflict that marred the year 2023 has set alarm bells ringing in the halls of European defence establishments.

Not quite three weeks into 2024 have gone by since the governments of Estonia, Sweden, and now the UK alerted their respective countries to the possibility of an all-out war.

According to leaked German intelligence papers, Berlin is rushing to prepare backup plans in case Russian forces move westward from Belarus and anticipates Russia will begin another round of operations to subjugate Ukraine.

Iran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance,” which includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, is intensifying its attacks on Israel and commercial shipping routes. This has prompted the UK and US to launch a series of devastating air and sea strikes. The Israel-Hamas conflict poses a threat to spread violence throughout the Middle East.

Further east, Beijing is even more enraged by Taiwan’s choice of a new president who values democracy, making a Chinese invasion of the island republic in the near future seem increasingly plausible.

Kim Jong Un, meanwhile, is waiting to send his enemies into a radioactive winter by clutching the keys to North Korea’s nuclear weapons.

This week, UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps attempted to summarise the serious dangers that the country and the rest of the world face in a harsh warning address.

“In five years, we may be examining several theatres, such as those in North Korea, China, Iran, and Russia.” With all of the wars that exist around the globe today, do you think that number will increase or decrease?

‘I suspect we all know the answer.’

International security experts are unanimous in their assessment that we are now closer to World War III than we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. MailOnline looks at the global “fault lines” that have the potential to entangle Europe in a major military confrontation.

For the first time since the conclusion of World War II, the threat of a major military conflict returned to Europe with Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The UK and EU jumped to Ukraine’s rescue right away, slamming economic penalties on Moscow and providing billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid to support Kyiv’s war effort.

However, with over two years of fighting gone and no obvious end in sight, European countries must now face the very real potential that the war may continue indefinitely and maybe even beyond Ukraine’s borders.

In an alarming speech earlier this month, Sweden’s Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin said, ‘There could be war in Sweden… The world is facing a security outlook with greater risks than at any time since the end of the Second World War,’ urging his citizens to join voluntary civil defence groups.

All of this, meanwhile, could have been planned to support Agenda 21 and the world’s ultimate saviour, and it’s not that slow now; it’s full tilt.

Politicians and the rich set off wars, but the end result is invariably the civilian casualty rate.

Old men start wars, and young men die in them. However, in a nuclear war, it wipes out everyone.

Perhaps these idiot world leaders could just meet up on a field and sort it all out with their fists instead of killing innocent civilians that want no part whatsoever with all this crap. I’d even pay Sky Box Office money to watch it, plus VAT, of course.

Seriously, though, somebody only needs to push the button, and then we will all go kaboom.

On A Remote Stretch Of Road Near Meelon, WA, A Driver Comes Across A Bizarre Scene

A dashcam caught the moment a frightened driver came across three people in the middle of a highway late at night.

Just before 11 p.m. on Monday, the video was taken close to Meelon, which is located 105 kilometres south of Perth.

It shows the motorist approaching a bright light before two guys are seen pulling a third person lying in the centre of the road.

The motorist was startled, veered to avoid colliding with the group, and stopped as soon as he was clear of them.

Hundreds of commentators expressed amazement over the trio’s negligence and questioned whether the motorist was wounded.

‘That could so easily have been three people squashed,’ one said.

‘Did the other car hit that guy?’ another wrote.

‘Let’s just park with our high beam on, no hazard lights, and run onto the dark road on a corner with nothing reflective,’ another joked.

‘Weird situation. Would love to know the story behind it,’ a fourth said.

‘Just having a nap in the middle of the road,’ another wrote.

Western Australia Police has been approached by the Daily Mail Australia for a response.

In some countries, sites like that are staged so that you will stop, and then they can rob you. Typically, women are targeted while men hide.

It looks like an attempted alien abduction, but when the aliens realised they had an Aussie they threw him back out.

It’s said that kind, compassionate people are greatly disadvantaged in life since they are unable to recognise negative traits in others.

I would always put myself in a good but sceptical mindset, and I always think about how bad the situation is and then weigh up if I wanted to help them. Kind of like a risk assessment. Take it for what it is because safety is number one before I give any help.

Bad guys use these tricks to get people to pull over and offer help, no different from any other country. Advice would be not to stop driving. Wait till you’re far enough away and then safely stop and call the police.

Watching the video, it looked like something out of The Blaire Witch Project movie.

It came across as an eerie sight. What could it be, it didn’t say.

It looked like someone was maybe being dragged, and the other people involved looked like they were on the ground. This was definitely a strange, dark and mysterious story form. However, it’s not a very clear video.

Parking Nightmare For Gordon Ramsay!

Gordon Ramsay was pictured leaving his £313,000 Ferrari parked on double yellow lines as he visited a friend.

In Padstow, Cornwall, the famous chef, 57, was seen driving his Ferrari Purosangue.

He was rumoured to be paying a visit to his protégé, Paul Ainsworth, who manages the fishing port’s No. 6 restaurant.

The restaurant has four AA Rosettes and was given a Michelin star in 2013.

But Ramsay swerved the main car park in the town and instead left his supercar on double yellow lines under a sign saying ‘no parking’ on N Quay Parade overlooking the harbour.

The father-of-six, host of TV shows such as Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen, was snapped by Guy Wilson, who shared his pictures on the Private Number Plate Spotters group on Facebook.

One member of the group quipped: ‘Double yellow lines must not count when the car is so expensive.’

The chef, who was born in Renfrewshire, faced criticism earlier this week after he posted a video of a “full Scottish” burger being made at his flagship restaurant in Edinburgh.

Observers took issue with the £18 cost of the square sausage burger, as well as the fact it contains salad, despite being labelled ‘full Scottish’, and lacks key elements of a traditional Scottish breakfast such as haggis, potato scone, and black pudding.

A short video shows the burger being made at the Gordon Ramsay Street Burger restaurant in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter.

It features lettuce, a tomato slice, a hash brown, eggs, and Lorne sausage.

The 57-year-old shared the clip to social media on Wednesday with the caption: ‘Try the full Scottish at Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Edinburgh—with Lorne sausage, a hash brown and an over easy egg.’

More than 1,100 people liked Ramsay’s post, while more than 700 people commented, making fun of the celebrity chef’s most recent culinary innovation.

Gavin Brewis said: ‘Full Scottish with no tattie scone, haggis or black pudding and with a hash brown, which is not actually full Scottish content.’

Another said: ’18 quid for a sausage and egg doubler—no Scottish person would put salad on a breakfast roll.’

At the moment, Ramsay owns and runs around 58 restaurants worldwide.

They include restaurants in the US, France, Dubai, Singapore, and a few in the UK.

Gordon Ramsay’s reps have been approached by MailOnline for comment.

For what reason does Gordon Ramsay think he can park on a yellow line? Maybe since he’s rich, it makes him feel like he’s above the law.

He probably doesn’t believe he’s above the law; he just thinks that the parking ticket will cost him buttons anyway.

Fines should be proportionate to the wealth of the owner. Make it 6 per cent of his annual income, then let’s see if he does it again.

Celebrity chef? The jury is still out on that one. He’s foul-mouthed, but he can cook.

Whether or not you have the money to pay the fine is irrelevant. The idea is that without everyone abiding by the law, anarchy would envelop the entire nation, but then money doesn’t buy good taste.

Not shocked at all, as all these overpaid so-called celebrities think that only common people like us are subject to the rules, and I’m not sure how he can justify paying all that money for one car. After all, it only takes you from A to B. Arrogance personified.

These wealthy people have too much money to care about fines. That’s the problem with rich people. They live under a different rock than the rest of us.

With untold wealth comes untold arrogance.

Government Minister Reveals AI Systems Are Already Being Used To Read Papers That Ministers Should Be Reading

It has come to light that ministers have already started utilising AI systems to sift through papers and choose which ones are more crucial.

The Cabinet Office’s experimental “AI Red Box,” which Alex Burghart, a Conservative minister, has acknowledged he uses to sift through the piles of files he is assigned to read each day.

Alex Chisolm, a senior civil official, and another minister are allegedly also utilising the experimental system, according to the Minister for Implementation.

He also said that authorities attempted to set up a chatbot that would be able to answer public inquiries on the Gov.UK website and have access to the whole collection of official data.

However, this experiment was ultimately scrapped when it did ‘some strange things’ which included randomly speaking French as well as being incorrect about a fifth of the time.

When describing the ‘AI red box’, Mr Burghart told an event in Westminster: ‘What it does is it can read documents that go into your red box, it can summarise them, it can highlight connections between papers, connections between previous papers.

‘And over time, as we fine-tune this model, it will become, I believe, be the institutional memory of the department.’

He said that while a lot of good people pass through the Cabinet Office, ‘they don’t always stay that long.’

He continued: ‘It means that things that happened three, four, or five years ago are not around anymore.

‘But with an effective AI red box, that won’t be a problem any more.’

Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said: ‘MPs and Ministers spending time to look over casework and policy is bread and butter.

‘If they can’t be bothered to read things for themselves, we may as well let the robots run the country. Which can’t be much more worse than this Conservative mess.’

The goal of Mr Burghart’s team, the Member of Parliament for Brentwood and Ongar, is to obtain funds to implement the system throughout Whitehall by going to the Treasury in the spring.

The Government Digital Service attempted to create a chatbot like ChatGPT to serve as the front end for Gov.UK, which is the world’s first system of its sort.

Nevertheless, this concept was ultimately shelved.

‘If you asked it questions in a particular way, it responded in French,’ Mr Burghart admitted.

If AI is used by the government, we are in for a very scary time, and if they’re using AI, then there is a real case to reduce the number of MPs that we have. The results can’t be any worse for us, surely.

Beyond that, are these lazy gits incapable of reading for themselves? It just goes to show how educated they are with all their university degrees.

Rishi Sunak could be replaced by Chatbot, and literally, no one would be any the wiser.

This is something to consider. When the Prime Minister and his ministers make a decision, based on a summary and recommendation that nobody had any input into, who will they blame when it all goes wrong? I don’t think they’ve thought this one through.

There needs to be a new rule that stipulates that indolent MPs should be fired if they don’t read anything and instead rely on AI to tell them what needs to be done. Each day passes and these MPs get more and more indolent, and it just proves how bad our government is.

Queen’s Fury Over Naming Of Baby Lilibet

According to a new book, Queen Elizabeth was enraged by Harry and Meghan’s assertion that she had approved of their baby Lilibet’s name.

One member of her staff says the monarch was ‘as angry as I’d ever seen her’ after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been ‘supportive’.

The pair also directed Schillings, their assertive legal team, to send letters to newspapers, news networks, and the BBC in particular, disputing the false and defamatory accusations that she was not sought for permission.

But when the Sussexes sought to ‘co-opt’ Buckingham Palace into ‘propping up’ their version of events, they were ‘rebuffed’.

The newest installment of the intriguing new biography Charles III: New King, New Court contains an enlightening revelation. Robert Hardman, a writer for the Mail, is now serialising his book The Inside Story only in the Daily Mail.

It has already made public a remarkable memo that details the late Queen’s final hours. The memo is currently housed in the Royal Archives and notes that, before quietly passing away, the late Queen finished her final paperwork box and left two sealed letters inside, one of which was addressed to her son and heir.

In today’s installment, Hardman delves into the ramifications behind Prince Andrew and the Sussexes’ contentious choice to resign from their royal duties. This includes how:

Prince William considered his brother’s criticism of his wife, Kate, to be “the lowest of the low,” especially the idea that males in the Royal Family should only wed women who “fit the mould.”

The prince was reportedly ‘mortified’ by Harry’s ‘casual breach’ of so many sibling secrets in his biography, Spare.

William and King Charles have never read Spare and never will. But ‘the main points’ have been communicated to them by personnel.

Charles has learned to ‘compartmentalise’ domestic stress, even if Harry’s actions left him severely traumatised.

He now feels ‘exasperation’ over the situation. ‘He has done what he can, and now that he is King, there are many more things to think about,’ says a friend.

However, he insists the door is always open to his youngest son. ‘You’d always like your child back,’ says a senior official.

In his interviews with current and former members of the Royal Family, acquaintances, and palace employees, Hardman provides fascinating insights into Harry’s relationships with his family.

It is unknown to us whether the Queen was angry, and she likely never will be since she is no longer with us. If she had been angry, she would have likely kept this to herself with that stiff upper lip of hers, and if she had ever been emotional, she would never have let the public witness it.

Lilibet was what Princess Margaret called her sister when they were younger because she couldn’t say Elizabeth. The Queen could, of course, have been angry about it; on the other hand, she might have thought it was a nice thing to do to keep the legacy going, even though that particular name would have been precious to her.

However, it was their child and their choice, and they were both bound to upset along the way, but we can’t please everybody.

The point is that the Queen is no longer with us, so it is unnecessary for us to continue being rude and pulling up these old tales. Yes, there is; it’s profitable.

It’s not like it was a private nickname for the Queen. Everyone in the world knew about it.
