And for those who say that the youngsters are not interested in the monarchy from the hanworth hub yesterday..

It's interesting isnt it?
Why do they care about William?
Why do people love the royal family?
Or rather why do they support some members and not others?
I like having a Royal family that hails back over a thousand years.
I like the tradition.
I LOVE the jewels and the architecture of their houses.
I like having a head of state who is a diplomat but not a politician.
I liked the Queen. I think she was a great diplomat.
Growing up in the UK and reading the newspapers my parents had delivered and reading stories and looking at pictures of the royals back then, I formed an opinion about them.
Some I disliked. some I liked.
I was swept up in the magic fairy dust of the Diana years.
I liked her and I liked her babies because they were hers and would likely be a bit different from Charles Andrew and Edward [none of whom I liked.]
I oohed and aahed along with everyone else when we saw baby William and baby Harry.
When she died, I was numb.
When 'her two boys' walked behind her coffin, like most people, I was so emotional.
I watched the funeral at my Mum's house.
When Nimrod played, my usually stiff upper lip mother almost crumpled and said, I cant believe she is in that box.
When the flowers were thrown towards the car carrying her to Althorp, I was still numb.
My mum was very quiet.
We were both silently sobbing.
Then when we saw that 'island' where she is alleged to have been lain, my Mum said, I can't bear to think of her all alone there.
We both openly cried.
My Mum NEVER cried!!!!
My mum has now passed away but I still remember that time.
Diana had us spellbound in some sort of weird way.
I loved William and Harry because they were 'her boys.'
Now I feel conned because I know much more about Diana than I did then and I know Harry is not the person I thought he was.
I am very big on loyalty.
I see him as just about as disloyal as it is possible to be, and then some.
I feel betrayed by him.
His betrayal towards his brother is way bigger than the betrayal to us, the UK people.
I cannot imagine how hurt William feels.
I can almost imagine how angry he must feel.
And now Catherine is so seriously ill, I feel sick in the pit of my stomach for him and those kids.
And Harry's wife is twatting about selling crap jam and spamming up the internet and tv news with the FECKING NONSENSE.
The dislike I have of Harry makes my liking for William stronger.
I really hope William can handle what is happening to him right now and I hope he can remain strong enough to weather the storms to come.
I want to go off and do all the things I should be doing but I feel weighed down and that PopBitch snippet about TV Newsrooms being told to make sure their Monarch obituary pieces are up to date has just about done me.
I feel very 'down.'
Damn you Harry and Meghan.
Damn everything.
