    It’s good to see attachment and bond between father and son are their It been quite bizarre listening to the way media interpret such intimate bonds

  • “Hating on the Sussexes”

    April 4, 2025.

    In the latest Episode which I heard today you mentioned “Lots of Royals earn money from their names. They all have bills to pay.”

    However, please do remember that the late Queen specifically instructed H&M could NOT earn money from their past Royal connections. We in America mostly dislike them intensely. They are both true hypocrites
