The following text is an extract from a "Google Groups" item on Royal Affairs. For the full text of this story just click the link. It is item which deserves a much wider audience than it will actually get.
 
 "In 1956 the Queen discovered that Prince Philip was having an affair with
Princess Alexandra. She banned him from her bed and the marriage ended in
the conventional sense. In his book 'Queen Elizabeth II, a woman who is not
amused' Nicholas Davies writes at page 169: It is extraordinary that an
affair involving two members of the royal family, one of them married to the
Queen, has remained a secret for so many years. To the nation and their
beloved Commonwealth, the royals have purported to set an example for all
their subjects. Yet, the Queen's consort, the man married to the Head of the
Church of England whose views on adultery were unwaveringly strict, has been
living an adulterous life for most of the 45 years he has been married to
the Queen. Alexandra's daughter, Marina, almost revealed the secret in 1989
when she became pregnant. Her parents urged her to have an abortion and
Marina was so angry that she decided to tell all to a newspaper. Fortunately
for her parents and Elizabeth and Philip caution prevailed and the affair
remained a closely guarded royal confidence known only to a very few."

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
