Cultural dominance of ‘wokeism’ has ‘infected’ King CharlesThe cultural dominance of 'wokeism” has “infected” King Charles, according to Sky News contributor Dominique Samuels. “Nothing that the Royal Family does is by accident, so this was obviously a choice not to mark Australia Day,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Which is a real shame because really I think it stokes the idea that the Royal Family is irrelevant in places like Australia and Canada and other countries.” Being “woke” is not a disease… 🙄 Easy solution...Australia grows up and stands on its own feet..Become a Republic and throw out all these hangerons from Charles to Harry Says 'The Crown' on Netflix...

King Charles tell-all interview would be a ‘huge mistake’: Nigel FarageGB News host Nigel Farage says it would be a “huge mistake” if King Charles III were to be interviewed by the BBC. “There are times when the head of state should speak,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. “But to sit down and be asked a whole series of questions, and no doubt he’ll be overly franc in his response. “Please, please Your Majesty, I beseech you, don’t do it.” 🥴 He wouldn't be needing to do any of this if he had been a sensible Father in the first place and listened to Harry's concerns and been stronger with William. Nigel_Farage Invite Harry & Meghan and also give them the massive security they say they want 😀. 100% protect H&M privacy by preventing ANY photos, film or audio of them while they're in the UK.

A King Charles tell-all interview could be seen as a ‘tit-for-tat’ situationKing Charles knows he'd be “asked difficult questions” if he agreed to do a tell-all TV interview, says HELLO’s Royal Editor Emily Nash. “He’s made it very clear that as King, he’s moved on from his role as Prince of Wales where he was able to be more outspoken and talk about all sorts of things,” Ms Nash told Sky News host Paul Murray. She said it's also 'been a really tricky time for the Royals'. “He’s going to be asked difficult questions, he can’t just go on TV at this point and not be asked about Andrew, not be asked about Harry. 'I don’t think he needs to go down this route because there’s also a danger that it could be seen as some kind of tit-for-tat situation given the other very public TV interviews that happened in recent months.'

Spice Girls including Victoria Beckham to reunite for King's crowningThe Spice Girls are rumoured to be reuniting for the first time in a decade for King Charles' coronation, with royal organisers said to be 'super keen' to secure Britain’s biggest girl band for the May 7 concert at Windsor Castle.
