Oops! Did Someone Forget to Save a Seat for Jill Biden at King Charles' Coronation? Well, well, well, looks like First Lady Jill Biden had a bit of a giggle-inducing seating arrangement at King Charles' coronation on May 6. While her hubby, President Joe Biden, couldn't make it for reasons unknown, Jill headed to Westminster Abbey to witness the royal affair. However, it seems like the organizers weren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for her as they stuck her all the way in the back. Oh boy, you can just feel the love and respect pouring in, can't you?...

Like a spider eating her mate, we are now watching His Royal Redback get gobbled up alive... Tell us about Megxit!’ It’s the question I am most asked when I open the floor for questions after giving a speech about Brexit and the state of Britain. And my answer is a straight one: Meghan Markle has been an absolute disaster for the British monarchy. Like some gangster, she has committed a smash-and-grab on the Palace, snatching what can be easily sold, trashing anything of sentimental value. Her latest stunt – pocketing an alleged $500K for ratting out her husband’s mental...

In 1953, even the famous Left-wing sociologist, Michael Young, wrote that the coronation represented “an act of national communion… a series of ritual affirmations of the moral values necessary to a well-governed and good society”. Whenever the next one happens, those words need to hold good once again. The greatest danger in the gap period will be from those who understand that the coronation service represents something much older than democracy and much deeper than secular, international “human rights”, and resent this fact. They will assail its undiluted Christianity, its mystical notion of kingship, its putting of whole nations under...

After Princess Eugenie's engagement news was revealed to the world by her thrilled parents, official portraits of the happy couple were released to mark the occasion - and offer that all-important first glimpse of the bride-to-be's ring. The 27-year-old Princess' long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, 31, popped the question in Nicaragua earlier this month with the unusual ring; a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds. The sparkler bears a striking similarity to the one Eugenie's mother, Sarah Ferguson, was presented with by her ex-husband Prince Andrew, when they became engaged back in 1986 - although Fergie's ring was set with a pink...

Has John Heilemann ever gotten this riled up over the commies ruling Cuba? If so, I missed it. But on his Bloomberg TV show tonight, Heilemann got on his populist high horse to blast the British monarchy on the occasion of the visit to the US of Prince William and Princess Kate, mocking them as "undereducated" and calling for the British monarchy to be "done away with tomorrow." In Heilemann's view, the real "royalty" on view at the Brooklyn Nets game tonight will be Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Lebron James. View the video here.

Royalists and republicans alike have logged on to the social networking site to view images, videos and news about the British monarchy.

Marry in a register office, says churchTHE royal family has started making preparations for the Prince of Wales to become king by secretly devising sweeping changes to modernise the coronation and other ceremonies marking his accession. Under the review, courtiers are considering pruning “Ruritanian” elements of the coronation ceremonial and creating a new role for leaders of non-Christian religions in the service. “A lot has happened since the (Queen’s) coronation in 1953. There will be a large number of differences. I don’t mind the word modernising,” said the Duke of Norfolk, who as earl marshal will organise Charles’s coronation. Although...
