Get ready for the next round of royal gushing. Harry and Meghan front the cover of this months Women’s Weekly while the article inside provides no new news on the next British royal nuptials other than a few photos. An article in The Australian’s Weekend Magazine declared that American divorcee, Markle, will bring a welcome new spark to the stuffy family as she is “already in danger of becoming a fully certified national treasure”. No surprise that this statement emanated from Andrew Morton, Diana author and tragic, cobbling together the little that’s known about Meghan to present her in the best possible light. WfaAR suspends judgement for the time being. Meanwhile Camilla is reported to have been ordered to come to Australia when she didn’t want to. Useful, we think, to finally have an HRH who admits she doesn’t like long distance travel, the heat and the tours. At least she’s honest. Charles arrives on 4 April to represent his mother at the opening of the Commonwealth Games. It seems to be lost on a lot of commentators that this visit is about Head of the Commonwealth not our Head of State. Heaven knows why we sent a RAAF jet to pick up the heir pair in Singapore and are also funding a side trip to Vanuatu. Hopefully, the Brits are paying but we won’t hold our breath.
