Prince Charles has just visited Canada, &, as embarrassing as William in Caribbean shuffled around the floor with indigenous Dettah. He & his mother received personal letters over the years from frozen C’wealth, yet have done nothing, & avoided meeting CABP members or travelling where they might not be welcome. Still no assessment of impact of over 50’s women & no impact on frozen pensioners (worse & worse with inflation) yet UK know it saves from those of us who depend on healthcare in Canada, Canadian taxpayer subsidies etc. Thank you Carol Monaghan – I loved my time living in Fife & have an undying connection to Scotland.
