It’s all happening! 3 charity visits coming up!

We used to sing the song about Robin Hood when I was a young child

Everybody knows that. Except you and Harry…

Oh wow!

I hope he doesn't, don't get me wrong. I'm just not as confident.....

And staring straight at the camera of course.

Money bequeathed to Sentebale more than trebled from £47,000 to £189,000.

I find that interesting that once some people had left the charity, bequests tripled; perhaps because the people leaving the money now trust it will be used properly. And while events income might have reduced, how much did Sentebale NOT spend on things like transport and accommodation for the principals taking part in those events?

Figures don't lie and sometimes they speak loudly.

I’m expecting a closer article along the lines of Meghan has been wearing her hair up out of respect for ‘Kate’ but she’s decided she’s nothing to be ashamed of, their lives are on different trajectory’s, she’s a global business woman and Kate will just have to accept they’re equals

This photo popped up in my socials yesterday& I took no notice as I thought it was an old photo.
Yes she does look good, looks more like the old pre Mexit Meghan in her signature denim

Great PR for the Queen of Thailand who pilots her own jet and then drives her own car. She's a very accomplished and interesting woman.

Tom Sykes played a short clip from the grief workshop on his YouTube. At the end there is a question - If you could teach another class what would it be?
Harry replies "How to fly a helicopter"!!

I think his flying qualifications have been widely discussed here, but the main thing is, that as far as we know, when he left the army he made no effort to do whatever was necessary to transfer his skills and obtain a private pilot licence, and has not personally piloted a helicopter (or other aircraft) since leaving the army in 2015. In what way would he now be qualified to teach anyone how to fly a helicopter?

I left Midwifery some years ago and am no longer on the register. I am fully aware that the job has changed enormously since I left in many ways. I haven't kept up with latest research.
I don't consider myself in anyway qualified to teach even basics anymore.

I guess being a living legend of aviation is all the qualification you need.

Pretty much, yes.

They've been in England for several weeks now and clearly haven't been given state security. I don't see why that would change. If there were an imminent threat then yes they'd get security, but that would be removed as soon as the threat was deemed to have passed. They're never going to get the level of security they think they deserve.

He's not, he's talking out of his backside again.

As has been discussed before there's been zero mention of him ever continuing flying post his military Apache days, let alone do the civilian conversion, so possibly/probably no current licence and not even close to one

On top of that in order to instruct an individual has to go through a (non-trivial/demanding/fairly lengthy) instructors course - at Central Flying School if you do it in the military, at one of the pay for Flight Training Organisations if outside.

He possibly could do it eventually but it needs time, hard work and effort....

Sounds like he’s been imagining William’s chats with Tom Cruise about their shared interest in flying and is feeling a little put out. He is the legend of aviation in the family, after all 🤔

The Masterclass good grief course ad came up in my Instagtram stories, with Harry saying "I can't remember my mother's laugh". I reported it as a scam and a misleading product or service.

This was Charlotte Griffiths’s take a couple of days ago:

Has Meghan got sick of the UK already?

I'm hearing that she and Harry are both feeling fed up and say they've had enough, and it's not working here in the UK. They don't think it's working out.

They don't have high hopes for their security, and they're a bit worried about how they're being received here in the UK, and it's getting them down a bit.

What a ridiculous man. Surely flying is majorly practical, hands on.

Ffs

The BBC is reporting large numbers of school children being ushered into the area where HAM are due to arrive for their first visit. Someone is going to alot of effort to ensure a large friendly crowd. There also seems to be people talking about travelling a long way to see them, and talking about them in very uncritical terms. I'm smelling squad support all overthiscrowd. Unsurprising really - this is the make or break day to 'prove' they can still do royal-adjacent tours.

Then there’s this

Why is allowed near a school after the last disaster?? Hopefully he'll stay off the drugs this time

That’s my favourite black and white film ever.

A lot of it is but the kicker for instructing is the instructors course (well the military one ) starts with a classroom phase to revise all the crap you've forgotten since basic..fun stuff like katabatic winds, lift coefficients etc...and we know how H is rumoured to thrive in the classroom.

Then as far as flying instructing itself goes there's usually a whole load of standard lessons that you have to be able to brief (whiteboard or whaever these days) and then teach in the air, all from memory...so certainly on the instructors courses there's a lot of time spent with your head in the books
..
And it's H we're talking about here.

“Meghan doesn’t see herself as a working royal”
😳🤪
