Goodness! I didn't know Canada was still naming geographical features after members of the RF. I hope the local First Nation is asked what they called the island and maybe its neighbouring one! JMO

It was likely named shortly after Andrew was born or after his term at the school, 1977.

Federal land policy in New York

So I’ve been seeing “BLM” a thousand times here. I figured out that it meant “Bureau of Land Management” and looked up my city and state, since I’ve never heard of it.

I expected it not to be part of NYC, but apparently there is 0% BLM in all of New York State.

That surprises me, as upstate has many rural areas.

Reading about it at the government site above has clarified for me why so many are discussing how BLM fits into Nancy’s situation, regarding where she may be found or not.

Learned something today.


As always——
Nancy, come home

@Arkay -- wrong thread?

Prince William has admitted he is not in a “calm state” as the fallout from his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s arrest continues.

The royal family is facing its greatest crisis in decades after the arrest of the former prince on his 66th birthday on Thursday.

Appearing together with Princess Kate at the Baftas on Sunday for the first time since the arrest, William was asked if he had seen the film Hamnet.

“I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment,” he told reporters. “I will save it.”

Royal sources told The Guardian on Saturday that Charles would not stop Parliament from enacting legislation that would prevent Andrew from ever ascending to the throne.

A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace told The Independent that the issue is “a matter for Parliament”.

A Royal Air Force airport was used by a private plane linked to Jeffrey Epstein as late as 2013, documents show, as pressure grows on Britain’s Ministry of Defence to release information about the use of its military bases.

At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty,” Giuffre's siblings said in a statement shared with CBS News.

“On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the U.K.'s Thames Valley Police for their investigation and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

I find this laughable, his arrest and potential charges have nothing to do with their sister.

IMO, they just want press coverage for themselves. Maybe money too!

"Insiders from the former coalition government claimed yesterday
that Andrew was widely viewed as a liability,
but terminating his official role was considered politically sensitive
because it risked dragging Buckingham Palace into a row."

Smart move deploying Edward to make a comment (he wouldn’t have said anything without the green light from the throne). He and Sophie are so underrated.

Edward's looks have changed a bit over the years. IMO he now looks like a mixture of Charles and Philip. A very nice-looking man.

As bad as that photo of Andrew in the car after being interrogated is, it is nothing compared to that one of him on all fours.

And then there is the one of him and VG. Hey Andrew, here's a new hobby for you, start a photo album!

And then there is the one of him and VG. Hey Andrew, here's a new hobby for you, start a photo album!

In all photos I recently see in the Media of him,
he has this terrible grimace on his face
Is it something medical???

Oh dear

I think it is fear that we can see on his face.

Oh well...
We are working through our whole life
to have a pleasant and serene face in old age.

Only Dorian Gray is an exception to this rule.

But hey,
he is a fictional character.
(And his portrait tells the truth)

I cannot even fathom what kind of “wellness” can cost $13,000 a day. Each day? It’s ridiculous.

Unless they take her on a daily trip to the moon, really what can cost so much????

(Anyway as far as I’m concerned, they could actually take her to the moon and leave her there with supplies).

Both daughters need to extricate themselves from their rotten parents if they have any hope of living adult lives, happy lives, whether they remain royal or not.

JMO

For some, 13k is a years worth of groceries and she is blowing it in one day. Delusional and so detached from reality.

The daughters need to stand strong together for their own families.

Andrew claimed for massages on his expenses. Junior civil servants tried to block paying, but were overruled by their bosses.

Andrew charged taxpayers for massage when trade envoy, claim ex-civil servants

Whistleblower former civil servants claim there was too little scrutiny of Andrew's costs as UK trade envoy.

Fergie will probably emerge from wherever she is, much much slimmer, and announce "I'm ba-ack!" to the applause of dozens around the world.

I can't really see how there will be much push back from any of them.

This is the full list of Commonwealth Realms that will need to agree.
