Did anyone watch this tonight?

Wow .... What a fascinating Insight Into Prince Phillip's Mother Alice.

Extremely poignant and Informative.



Look closely at newsreels of the Coronation, and you might glimpse the solitary, upright figure of a nun in grey habit and veil, walking behind the procession.

Seated with the Royal Family, her unworldly simplicity set her apart. But how many people today would recognise Alice, Princess Andrew of Greece... the Queen’s mother-in-law?

She survived revolution and exile, mental breakdown and religious mania, evincing great personal courage to protect a Jewish family during the war – before turning her back on the trappings of royal life to become a nun.

Prince Philip

She wouldn't have put up with this modern generation of roustabouts at the Palace, what with Strip Billiards photos being hawked around the gutter press this morning.

They're wary to tangle with him on account of his dad suing NOTW(RIP) after his phone was hacked and winning, I expect. The gutter press, not the Palace.

I reserved judgement of the above post until the facts were clearer.

What Is disgusting Is that Prince Harry was In a hotel room whilst on holiday. It Is not Harry who should be shamed but the vile women who he believed were his friends selling private photographs to the gutter press.

It was, I think you'll find, his own room.

Let's see what the PCC makes of It following numerous complaints from the public.

Had they been naked-romp photos of Rupert Murdoch or the disgraced Rebekah Brooks, the Sun would have restrained itself despite the public interest being so much greater. They employ double standards.

Press Complaints Commission >> Making a Complaint >> Complaints form

Yes I know you know it but less abused FG members might not have it bookmarked yet.

On the lunchtime news, The Sun tried saying the pics were ' In the public Interest' not a gross Invasion of privacy.

In The Public Interest does not mean For The Public's Amusement.

Well, yes, there's a lot of difference between a 27 year old body and that of a 65 year old. Camilla was quite a stunner when she was younger
