Pretty certain they never said they wanted complete privacy. I wonder which media sources spouted and then perpetuated that?

Nothing on Piers Morgan's twitter feed yet. Must be running it past his lawyers first.

A good result for us all as it shows Piers Morgan to be the turd he surely is.

Really? The guy served his country in a war zone. Where exactly do you consider that he has betrayed his country?

Apparently he's having his 'grant' cut so can't afford the up keep of a 31 bedroom place and is being offered Frogmore with it's mere 10 bedrooms. However, it claimed the Queen gifted Frogmore to the Sussex's so obviously it was quite a gift they thought it was!

Apologies, I misread your original post.

I've read those links to the guardian and, apologies if I missed it, I can't see where a law was changed without then going back to parliament! I can see where there have been changes but that Parliament, either Westminster or Scottish, were not told the changes were due to lobbying by the...

You're like a dog with a bone. You have still to tell me which law the queen has refused to sign when it is presented for her signature for royal assent. The Queen will not refuse to sign a bill before her. That doesn't mean there hasn't been negotiation before it gets to that stage, I never...

Have you got any examples of a law that the Queen has refused to sign? Edit: Just to help you out, the last law not to receive royal assent was the The Scottish Militia Bill, about 244 years before she came to the throne!!!! She is exempt from speed restrictions when being driven by the...

I'm guessing the people of Norfolk feel the same!

Let's be honest, they are merely ceremonial heads of state. They have no power and, contrary to what you say, will sign any law that is placed before them. If we were starting a fresh, I doubt many would advocate this as a system and whilst I would readily admit it is far from perfect, the...

And aren't these 'palace sources' part of the problem. Not the members of the actual family but the private secretaries and staff that run the 'firm' so to speak.

Fine, you stick with Piers, you're so well suited.
