A small story concerning a minor royal deciding not to continue with inherited duties gets blown into a huge drama.
Why? Because that wonderful photo opportunity (a pretty girl; photos) pulled away from life as a free tabloid ratings magnet.


Mr King, If there was a complete reporting block on them, I have a feeling that the Duchess would stand naked on the top of the statue of liberty bleating into a megaphone about her privacy!

Honey Harry and Meghan?
JK2006 Doesn't it make sense that this trivial virus (nasty to the vulnerable and lethal to some) started in Wuhan in the autumn/winter of 2020? Then spread around the world, being new, with mild unpleasant effects in some places but, since it was by spring that it really affected people (the Death Five; New York), it didn't take too many. But then, unleashed, it really caught fire next winter - fortunately, being far less complex than flu or Ebola or HIV, vaccines arrived within seconds. Now winter is finishing, effects are shrinking. Except, of course, in the Southern Hemisphere where it's about to kick in for the first time (last summer/winter it hadn't travelled like Concorde).

Throughout all, reaction to it was extreme (and unnecessary) due to media hype. Like they did with Brexit. With Jimmy Savile. With Weinstein and Epstein. With Harry & Meghan.

Oh well; it's over now.

Not like flu, which hasn't really disappeared, just become part of the media and government Covid hype.
