Do the Tales Get Taller?

I'm not a Royalist by any means, but I'm getting more and more fed up by the increasingly outrageous claims made by Harry and Megan, and the amount of coverage they are getting (Free Publicity) by the media. I expect in private the Royal Family are little different to any other family in their interpersonal relationships, it's just that ours are not dissected at every opportunity. To me the "revelations" seem to become more fanciful by the day, and no proof or witness for most of them. I just find it all hard to believe. It seems to me calculated aggression from a spoilt child who has not been able to get his own way, and is lashing out at his family, who he knows will not retaliate. (As a bonus, it makes him money!) Each time Harry "goes public", from Oprah to Spare, the claims become more extreme. Surely now it's time for the King to cut all Harry's Royal ties and titles, if only for the sake of the United Kingdom.

I agree with Callistemon and others about Princess Anne’s talent an dedication to equestrian sport.

I know one fantastic foster mum who bought a £100 yearling from a farmer who let her camp on his land with several children. They hired a truck, brought the pony home and a few years later the children were involved in pony club and gymkanas. Great experience

Princess Anne would make a great Queen.

I will just say that I can ride a horse but all the money and advantages in the world would ever have made me a successful 3 Day Event rider. It's a very dangerous sport and takes talent and amazing courage to even attempt it.

I always admired Princess Anne since the day she told would be kidnappers ‘Not bloody likely’ when they told her to get out of her car.

Exactly Deeda. She had to compete and win her place in order to take part. No special consideration because she was the late Queen's D.

She's an accomplished horse rider, not by virtue of her birth but because of her hard work, dedication and courage.

I can imagine she wouldn't suffer fools gladly.

She seems very grounded and wise.
