I'm behind a bit again so apologies if this has already been discussed. Once again, "sources say". Doesn't any of these myriad sources have a name? It is getting really tiring already.
IMO, it is critical that Harold get his IPP status back and the way things are starting to come out from "sources" there seems to be a change in the attitude towards Harold and Smegs. Funny, right before the Coronation. corrination
Harold and the Ho could be in major trouble if enough noise is made about their 13 companies, charity donations not being distributed and huge operating expenses paid out of those funds. Even the French are looking into it and it is making some noise.
It's true "foundations" are used to launder money, but it is mostly done on the QT and they do cut checks for charities for the most part. The problem Harold and Smegs have is that they are so disliked and dishonest that people are starting to say out loud what everyone knows - they are running a blatant scam and it is all coming out. With their IPP status, they are untouchable and that is the one thing they must have, that status is everything to them. Of course, Dorito, the proud proprietor of a cash-only care home that exists only on paper, will be thrown under the bus. She'll just be collateral damage to the gruesomes.
So now the stories come out that Harold and Dad had a "heart-to-heart", Smegs really wanted to go the the Coronation but is staying with their children, Catherine has demanded that Smegs be humiliated, forced to curtsey, sit in the back, etc. I'm detecting a change in attitude and that after the Coronation, a discrete word will come from the Palace to grant him the one thing he really needs, his IPP status which he needs for the immunity that comes with it, not the security. It was never the security.
This is just all my opinion and I'm sorry for the rant, I know I'm all over the place. I hope I'm wrong about everything.
