@RoyalAUWales Looks amazing

Went to the pool, read for a while in the water,and then it got really overcast and gray. Now back home.

@GailCCallaghan Sounds cozy. What is the hubby making for breakfast?

@royalmusing Frosty morning here so sitting at the table in front of the fire waiting for hubby to cook breakfast

@Seraph7953 @hellogorgeous84 Thanks.

@royalmusing @hellogorgeous84 GMA did a bit of press with it using the trailer awhile back. Talked about what each girl was hoping to win out of it

For the record, the documentary is not about Meghan. Girl Scout cookies are uniquely American .you attack Girl Scouts ,you attack me .I will not tell you where I keep the hidden stash of Thin Mints. I was a cookie queen many years ago. share.google/uQ9JvM7bfJ4tKA…

@theasscat Only the best dumbest people

The dumbest people

@Seraph7953 @hellogorgeous84 I’ve not seen it. It’s not in any movie theater around here.

@hellogorgeous84 @royalmusing Yup, I'm not liking the angle they went with at all

@145Columbine @richardaeden We don’t know what Lord Spencer may have said or not said that is pure speculation. I think it would have been understood that there would be no photos released at the gravesite. We don’t know if William or Harry when visiting the grave have taken photos.

@royalmusing @richardaeden I understood, perhaps wrongly, that he specifically prohibited pics at her gravesite

Meghan and Harry were accused of being 'tasteless' after posting photographs while visiting Diana's grave. But this is the quiet show of support by Earl Spencer so many missed - and what it reveals about his relationship with the couple. Read my article: dailymail.com/news/royals/ar…

@Jofi_Joseph_99 @MarkZuckerman Yesterday. Nationals TV started this year

@MarkZuckerman When was the last time the team was on national TV? 2020?

Heads up: Tonight’s game was picked up by ESPN and thus won’t be available on Nationals TV.

Today was the last day for encore Broadway for the summer. Encore is a great organization for senior citizens. We had our concert, George M Cohen medley, ragtime medley, and edelweiss

@humeyra_pamuk They only hire the best people to screw up

Quite the story — July 30 (Reuters) - A U.S. government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a State Department presentation at ‌a global conference taking place in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attendees who took screenshots and posted them online.

@hellogorgeous84 I know numerous parents, including members of my Church, who would bring the form or give the website link to order cookies I would only buy cookies that way or from the deale cute dealers in front of the supermarkets

@royalmusing Families could choose to put money out to buy cookies upfront and get reimbursed by their sales but it’s not necessary. It’s not necessary for families to spend anything on cookies.

@OKMagazine Dear NOTOK! Unlikely because the post showed them walking down a path through the gardens and not on the island where the grave is located. Please do better because you’re not OK. You’re not even good.

Sources claim King Charles was "extremely disappointed" by Meghan Markle's post from Princess Diana's gravesite, while Queen Camilla allegedly felt Meghan crossed a line by sharing such a personal moment publicly. (📸: MEGA/IG)

@royalwhisper Is there a problem, Diana, princess of Wales is not buried there. She’s buried on an island and the photo Meghgand took is not on that island but on a path.

Earl Spencer’s, Althorp House posts IG story with Princess Diana's memorial in the background. (Another clapback at the UKtabloids?👀) reddit.com/r/RoyaltyTea/s…

@JenCarsonTaylor It is unlikely that Clive would have advised Charles not to see his son. Sykes is not a reliable source.

What fascinates Tom Sykes about Meghan’s Instagram post is “the naked, desperate need to generate speculation that Charles invited them to Balmoral.” That was the purpose of posting this particular photo. “Of all the images she shared, only one was taken in an identifiable public place (an oddly framed roadside shot) and it just happens to be in the Scottish Highlands, a couple of hours’ drive from Balmoral… The interesting thing is not that it suggests they got an invitation to Balmoral (I don’t believe they did) but that Meghan is so deliberately laying a trail of breadcrumbs, widening the curiosity gap, nakedly trying to manufacture the impression that they were received by the King. It is a revealing signal of just how important royal adjacency remains to the Sussex project, and, to my mind, further proof that Charles should have taken Clive Alderton’s advice not to receive them at all, rather than [hosting them at Highgrove.]

@DeltaSassy So he told her at the ball, which is highly unlikely because in a interview just after her divorce, Diana told a reporter that she knew Charles loved her from the start. I’m sure you can find it. I wrote about C & C relationship for BBC history extra archive.ph/Ubn81

He never loved Diana and told her so the night before they married. He always loved Camilla from the day they met. Opportunity #1. He should have asked her to marry him then but he didn’t. Even after Camilla married Parker-Bowles, she could have divorced him and married Charles in opportunity #2. She was young enough to have given Charles an heir and a spare and they could have lived a scandal free/wasted time life happily ever after without taking away the life and youth of a young teenage girl just turning 20 a few days before. What of her life? What of her sacrifice? Only to have Charles & Camilla marry at the end of a decades long adulterous relationship leaving an innocent young girl/woman alone at home with two young boys looking for love in all the wrong places. Diana’s legacy: 1. heartbreak and 2. her pride and joy, Prince William and her three beautiful grandchildren of whom all will be heirs to the throne. Long live Charles/Camilla but looking forward to the day King William takes the throne. #RIP Princess Diana rnz.co.nz/news/world/558…

This is exactly why I'm urging people to organize a general strike. And it MUST happen way before November. It's not just about the primaries. It's about human lives, 6,000 children in ICE detention many times longer than they've ever been before, 200 dead fishermen and the families they left behind, the hundreds of children killed in Iran - and it wasn't just one school that we hit but around a dozen - and Israel continuing to use our money to exterminate Palestinians and Lebanese people. The beauty of a general strike is that it cannot be ignored by the media, and that it can be done without people going out on the streets. So no facial recognition software, no risk of tear gas or arrest. It could be the thing that tips the scales, and maybe even give Congress a kick in the pants. Things are so on the brink. But we're up against a very very powerful and organized foe that has a massive grip on everything. The one thing they're not prepared for is a general strike. It's the last thing they expect Americans to do. And that's exactly why we need to do it. We've tolerated atrocities and destruction far too long. Not everyone has to go on strike. Those who aren't on strike can help support those who are. As few as 10% to 16% of the workforce on strike will begin affecting the economy.

@VickieC62395659 Don’t you come near mine!Luckily the little little dealer dealers set up shop outside supermarkets and other places during the cookie season.

@royalmusing I love Thin Mints - and Girl Scouts and their traditions are a uniquely wonderful America institution!
