Hiya. I think it is pretty bad that H&M didn't go see the Queen at Balmoral but can take Archie to South Africa. I can understand if wee man was ill but it is very odd behaviour if he wasn't. Not turning up must have been hurtful to his Grandma and Grandpa.
Kath Wells
I heard the news live in my house in London and had to wait for my friend to get up so we could go together on the day she died to lay flowers at Kensington Palace. I chose blue flowers as Diana had blue eyes. We also camped out and saw the funeral go through Hyde Park.
Kath Wells
Wonderful Podcast let me be the first to congratulate you.
