Roll on to 2041 - ages rounded off - my predictions:

Meghan will be 60 and on her third or fourth marriage, this time to an elderly billionaire

Harry will be 57, living quietly in the UK, married to a rich woman, and back in the royal fold though still estranged from his brother

Archie and Lilibet will be 22 and 20, living in the US but commuting to the UK with a strained relationship with their mother

Doria will be 85 and still living off her daughter

King Charles will be 93, having been King for 18 years

The Prince and Princess of Wales will be 59 and undertaking most of the King and Queen's workload

Prince George will be 28, a senior royal undertaking royal duties, taking his time to choose a partner

Princess Charlotte will be 26 and working, with occasional royal duties

Prince Louis will be 23, starting his own business - a real character, popular with the public

Princess Anne will be 91, still a hard-working senior royal

Prince Andrew will be 81, still hard-up for money, dreaming of his days on the balcony

Adding a link to a video that Victoria Arbiter just shared on Twitter, analysis and commentary on the media, and how many American press in particular "were played". It's a point that hasn't been addressed enough, or at all. They instantly took what a Sussex spokesperson said, as gospel, without any other verification. Instead of adding some context, "Harry and Meghan claim this but we're waiting for confirmation from police..." or anything like that.

I don’t buy it. I’ve been in New York a number of times and it’s not possible to have that kind of chase going on for 20 minutes let alone 2 hours. Clearly they’ve been watching too many films containing chases around New York and deluded enough to believe it to be true and can happen. Just not possible.

A choice, not a chase.

You nailed it.

A saying is that no publicity is bad publicity, and that may explain this whole‘incident.’ These two just can’t get over themselves, and this is the perfect example of the world revolving around them. I wonder how welcome they’ll be in NYC after making such a circus out of receipt of a minor award no one had heard of?

They really didn't want anyone to know in whose apartment they were staying, so they led photographers on a wild goose chase in a taxi and made a fuss about being chased. Once again, they've created false equivalency to Diana and attempted to appear the victims.
