    That's basically what I've been saying from the get-go. Thank you.

    I’m a windbag who happens to repeat others, a lot. Sorry.

    As much as I just beat up on the palace comms staff, I imagine it’s like the football SID job at Alabama times 10. Except there are no Little Debbie’s stories to share.

    So with the Royal Family "starters" either ailing or looking after spouses with serious illness and/or caring for small children, do Harry and Megan make a comeback? Do they "call up" some of Charles' nieces and nephews to "the bigs" for public appearances as representatives? An even better idea - make it like jury duty and have average Brits drafted for service to serve six months as "official representatives" of the Palace to attend the kind of things they have to attend.

    Wait time to access a lot of services is at historic highs in Britain. The NHS has been underfunded for 15 years by Tory governments.

    The Russians have nothing better to do than spread conspiracies and drink vodka.

    Don't forget falling out of windows. They're exceptionally good at that.

    The last Tsarina of Russia was a grand-daughter of Queen Victoria. And because that's how the royal families of Europe kept marrying into each other, the current lot has a whole bunch of distant ties to the Romanovs.

    Obviously, the Russians are just covering the bases.

    Which one is Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and which one is King George V of the UK?

    I’d say the skinny one is the Russian, but that’s just a guess.

    But I would consider trading it for Door 3.
