    Dang, half the British tabloids already have him with one foot in the grave. What's next, they start singing "Charlie's in a box" at Scottish match this weekend?

    Charles right now must be saying "Thank Ælfweard."

    Reigned for 16 days.

    Also not surprised that King Cnut reigned for 19 years before the Normans invaded. Based on modern Brit language, he was quite a popular pussycat.

    I'm sure everybody in the media knows what type of cancer it is and how bad.

    Living over here, I'm sure there are also a whole host of privacy injunctions that'll keep them from saying it in print. So, now, you get broad hints and nonsense.

    The super injunction process there has always fascinated me. Basically if you have enough money you can squash most things.

    I tend to agree with you. I feel like it must be known, and there's some kind of embargo going on.

    I wouldn't joke about anybody's cancer, and I get that people have a right to some privacy. But what would be the advantage/reason for holding off telling what type of cancer it is, especially when you've already announced that it is there at all?

    To me, one of the telling things may have been Prince Harry's dash home to see his dad. It seemed weird that it was for like, an hour, or so. But I was happy to see he went, almost immediately, and that there reportedly are plans for him to bring the kids back to see King Charles.

    If Piers Morgan wanted to help others, as I'm sure he surely does, he'd take 500 Tylenols.

    So Kate goes MIA and now there are rumors about Prince William knocking up his mistress.
