Prince Harry and his wife have been officially expelled from the royal institution

In spite of all the drama they are involved in due to their questionable charges against the monarchy, Prince Harry and his wife have had an uncomfortable moment that honors Camilla Parker, the Queen consort, as they were officially banned from a royal institution.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s remarks and actions against the British monarchy continue to have a negative influence on their lives. And now they’ve been kicked out of a significant royal institution that the late Queen Elizabeth II used to support.

The “Queen’s Commonwealth Trust,” a royal organization of the Commonwealth of Nations that brought together 54 countries with historical ties to the United Kingdom and of which Harry and Meghan were previously president and vice president, has fully expelled Harry and Meghan.
Undoubtedly, this is a serious setback for the pair, who made the decision to immigrate to the United States in 2020. From that point on, their antagonism with the royal family grew, and their comments in their documentary series and in the Prince’s autobiography “Spare” only strengthened their animosity for the royals.

King Charles III has not yet commented on the situation, but reports suggest that his wife Camilla Parker is the one who is cheering this contentious decision the loudest in the UK

Queen's funeral: Elizabeth II was buried beside Prince Philip - as royals bid farewell to monarch at procession and poignant services

In an emotional day for grieving members of the Royal Family, tens of thousands of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the procession carrying the Queen's coffin and millions more watched on television around the world.

The Queen was been buried beside her husband, Prince Philip, after a state funeral and a poignant chapel service - as the nation bid a final farewell to Britain's longest reigning monarch.

Elizabeth II was laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle following a private burial on Monday evening.

It followed an emotional day for grieving members of the Royal Family, with tens of thousands of people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the procession carrying the Queen's coffin and millions more watching on television around the world.

The King appeared close to tears during the funeral of his mother at Westminster Abbey, where world leaders - including US President Joe Biden, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Liz Truss - were among the 2,000-strong congregation.

The Queen's coffin left Westminster Hall on Monday morning, where the final members of the public had queued overnight to see the monarch lying in state, and was carried on a gun carriage to the abbey in a procession including the monarch's children.

In a personal touch, the wreath adorning the Queen's coffin had a handwritten note written by the King, which read: "In loving and devoted memory. Charles R."

The wreath also included flowers requested by the King which were cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.

George and Charlotte walk behind coffin

Inside Westminster Abbey, King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, walked immediately behind the coffin.

They were followed by the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Nine-year-old Prince George and Princess Charlotte, aged seven, accompanied their parents, followed by their uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Before the service, the Princess of Wales could be seen holding Charlotte's hand, and giving her a reassuring touch on the shoulder.

We Aill Meet Again'

Delivering the sermon, the Archbishop of Canterbury told mourners the "grief" felt around the world over the Queen's death "arises from her abundant life and loving service".

"She was joyful, present to so many, touching a multitude of lives," the Most Rev Justin Welby said.

"People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer."

"Her late Majesty's broadcast during the COVID lockdown ended with 'We will meet again', words of hope from a song of Vera Lynn."

He added: "All who follow the Queen's example, and inspiration of trust and faith in God, can with her say: 'We will meet again'."

Three times Queen Elizabeth II survived assassination and escaped unharmed

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after reigning for 70 years. She was 96.

Her death brings to an end the longest reign in the history of the United Kingdom, and one of the longest reigns by any head of state.

Queen Elizabeth II remained in the public eye all her life and was the most travelled world leader.

But being such a popular public figure has its downsides too – she escaped three assassination bids on her from people with sinister motives.

We take a look at three assassination bids on the Queen, and how she escaped unharmed

Australia, 1970

In 1970, Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip were on a tour of Australia. It was on this trip that an attempt was made on the queen’s life.

As part of their trip, they were to travel to Orange in New South Wales by rail from Sydney on 29 April. Would-be assassins had placed a log on the train tracks in an attempt to derail the coaches as it neared Lithgow. Another train had scouted the tracks an hour before the queen’s train came through, finding nothing, so the log’s subsequent appearance fuelled suspicions there was an assassination plot.
The Queen’s train struck the log, but was reportedly travelling too slowly for any damage to be done. No one was ever arrested for the alleged plot – and in fact the story only came to light in 2009 when Detective Superintendent Cliff McHardy spoke out about it on his retirement. He claimed the government had successfully covered up the story up until then to avoid embarrassment.

London, 1981

At an annual ceremonial event Trooping the Colour on 13 June, 1981 in London, crowds gathered to watch the queen attending the ceremony on horseback. A 17-year-old Marcus Sarjeant, who was in the crowd, fired six blanks from a starting pistol as the queen rode by. According to reports, the queen’s horse, Burmese, was startled, but the she managed to calm him down and rode on.

Sarjeant was later arrested and brought to trial. During the trial, Sarjeant admitted that he wanted to be famous and had been inspired by the assassination of John Lennon the year before, according to The Times. He was sentenced to five years in prison under the Treason Act.

New Zealand, 1981

Months after being shot at the Trooping the Colour event, the queen again faced an assassination attempt during a visit to New Zealand in 1981 while visiting a museum in the city of Dunedin.
Lewis was arrested eight days later and served three years, partly in a psychiatric facility.

Queen Elizabeth’s coffin placed in Palace of Westminster to lie in state – latest updates

Queen’s coffin carried on gun carriage from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall

King Charles III led a procession behind the Queen’s coffin [/b]as it began its journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state.

He was accompanied by Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward and other members of the royal family including Prince William and Prince Harry. The coffin was pulled on a gun carriage of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, draped in the royal standard.

[b]The Foreign Office has continued to prune its invitation list for the Queen’s funeral on Monday revealing neither Syria, nor Venezuela will be asked to the ceremony. As a sign of disapproval the de facto authority in Afghanistan, the Taliban have also been left off the invitation list.

North Korea and Nicaragua - with which the UK has ice cold diplomatic relations - are being asked at ambassadorial level, a signal of disapproval that has already been sent to Iran. Tehran has been told it has been invited at ambassadorial level.

The foreign office has also let it be known to heads of state that if they are unable to attend in person they can delegate the invitation. All holders of the George Cross and Victoria Cross are also being invited to attend.

In the 14 realms, those states that have the Queen as head of state, invitations have been sent to the prime minister, and partner, the Governor General and High Commissioner( the equivalent of an ambassador). Each realm has also been granted permission to choose 10 other dignitaries of their choice to attend.

The closing date for RSVPs is tomorrow, and the precise guest list is likely to be revealed tomorrow.

Officials are still working on a seating plan that will reflect seniority and status. Arrangements are also being made for VIPs to visit the Queen’s coffin to pay their personal respects over the weekend.

A dress rehearsal of the arrivals by car is due to be held on Thursday evening.

Foreign Office staff will also organise a condolences book for VIPs to sign at Lancaster House. The foreign secretary James Cleverly will host a reception for guests at nearby Church House immediately after the service.

Queen's coffin heads to London as crowds gather to pay their respects

King Charles III, already undertaking the task of shoring up the monarchy throughout the U.K., traveled to Northern Ireland to meet political leaders and receive condolences.

By NBC News
LONDON — Thousands of mourners lined up through the night to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II in Edinburgh, as the United Kingdom continued a week of pageantry to mark the death of its longest-serving monarch.

The queen's coffin is due to arrive at London's Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night. More than a day before, a line began forming there of those who want a chance to bid farewell to the queen when she lies in state at Parliament later this week.

Meanwhile, her eldest son, King Charles III, is already undertaking the task of shoring up the monarchy throughout the U.K. He traveled to Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Tuesday to meet political leaders, receive condolences and attend a prayer service.

In a sign of how far the territory has come since the height of the "troubles," representatives of Sinn Fein — the Irish nationalist party with historic links to the Irish Republican Army — met the king and attended the memorial events for a queen whose rule they sought to cast off.

Here’s what to know for Tuesday:

Members of the public viewed the queen's coffin as she lay at rest in Edinburgh's St. Giles' Cathedral.
The coffin was transported by car to Edinburgh Airport before being flown to RAF Northolt near London.
A state hearse will take the queen's coffin to Buckingham Palace, where mourners have continued to gather to pay their respects.
The king met dignitaries in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he was due to attend a prayer service at St. Anne's Cathedral before returning to London.

Pallbearers from the Queen’s Color Squadron of the Royal Air Force could be seen carrying Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, draped in the Royal Standard of Scotland, onto a RAF C17 aircraft at Edinburgh airport on Tuesday.

The coffin will now be moved to Buckingham Palace in London.

The body of Queen Elizabeth II was carried from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Tuesday to begin the journey back to London.

The crowds along the way were largely silent, although occasionally clapping erupted as the coffin was transported by hearse to Edinburgh Airport.

It will then be flown to RAF Northolt near London, and then driven to Buckingham Palace.

On Wednesday, it will be transported to the Palace of Westminster where Elizabeth will lie in state until her funeral Monday in Westminster Abbey.

Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned over the U.K. for 70 years, dies at 96

The monarch was a constant and reassuring figure as she helped lead her country through a period of radical shifts in the latter half of the 20th century.
Queen Elizabeth II, the seemingly eternal monarch who became a bright but inscrutable beacon of continuity in the United Kingdom during more than seven decades of rule, died Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands. She was 96.

Her death, of undisclosed causes, was announced by Buckingham Palace.

In her reign, which began in February 1952 after the death of her father, King George VI, Elizabeth served as a constant and reassuring figure in Britain and on the world stage as she helped lead her country through a period of profound shifts in geopolitical power and national identity.

The designs of postage stamps and bank notes changed through the decades, but they all depicted the same, if aging, monarch. The British national anthem now shifts to “God Save the King,” but most Britons have only known the other version, for the queen.

Her son and heir, Charles, summed up the power of her constancy in a rare television documentary aired in 2012 to mark her 60th year as queen. “Perhaps subconsciously,” he said, “people feel encouraged, reassured by something that is always there.”

Her last major constitutional action came on Tuesday, when she accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and asked his successor, Liz Truss, to form a new government.

In a monarchy dating back to at least the 10th century with King Athelstan, Elizabeth’s reign was the longest. In 2015, she broke a record once thought unassailable, surpassing the 63-year rule of her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. While Victoria retreated from her regal duties after the early death of her husband, Prince Albert, Elizabeth — with her outwardly stern demeanor, iron constitution and abiding handbag — remained fully engaged in her queenly duties for most of her life, and true to a pledge she made on her 21st birthday.

Then a fresh-faced princess on tour with her parents in South Africa, she broadcast to British Empire listeners around the globe: “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service, and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

The length of that service, measured against that of other leading figures, proved astonishing — coinciding with that of 15 British prime ministers, 14 U.S. presidents and seven popes. As supreme governor of the Church of England, Elizabeth appointed six archbishops of Canterbury.

She also had to navigate shifting public attitudes toward the royal family as the increasingly unfettered media laid bare its troubles. The low point came in 1997 with the death in a car accident of her former daughter-in-law, Princess Diana, and public anger at the queen’s halting response to it.

It was one of few missteps, and the crisis passed: By the time of her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Queen Elizabeth was the subject of a four-day love fest that included a waterborne procession on the River Thames that rivaled a medieval pageant. Her approval rating stood at 90 percent. At a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, then-Archbishop Rowan Williams said, “We are marking six decades of living proof that public service is possible, and that it is a place where happiness can be found.”

By the time of her platinum jubilee in 2022 marking her 70 years as queen, the national celebration had added another dimension, a shared recognition that the reign was almost over and was of a type that would not be seen again in terms of its length, pomp and place in a changed British society.

“While we celebrate the mightiness of Elizabeth II’s allegiance to a life of service, we should also acknowledge that an antiquated version of monarchy must now pass into history,” wrote journalist and royal watcher Tina Brown in her 2022 book, “The Palace Papers.”

Nothing captured this moment more clearly than the image of the queen at her husband’s funeral, held in 2021 amid restrictions related to the covid-19 pandemic. Dressed in black and with her face veiled by a mask, she seemed alone if not isolated in the oaken pews of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor.

The ensuing months were marked by increasing frailty, a rare hospitalization and a covid infection. She was unable to perform long-standing and familiar public duties.

Into her 90s, she maintained a rigorous calendar of events and appearances. They numbered more than 400 in her diamond jubilee year. Her public life was defined by these duties, some seemingly trivial, such as handing out symbolic alms, others mantled with pomp and pageantry — the opening of Parliament or the hosting of a state dinner.

To an outsider, such recurring events might seem perfunctory, but in their recurring character, Charles said, they “help to anchor things” in a dynamic world and, moreover, threaded the monarch through the tapestry of British life.

Her role as queen defined Elizabeth’s life, but her unflagging dedication to the job also defined the monarchy. Unlike her sister and several of her children, including Charles, she kept her personal life intact and avoided private scandal and public controversy. The prospect of abdicating — there were calls for such a move when her great-grandson and third direct heir, Prince George, was born in 2013 — was alien to someone who clung not to power, but to duty.

Dickie Arbiter, a former royal spokesman, said at the time that Elizabeth’s piety alone would prevent it: “She sees herself of having sworn to serve for life not only to the people, but to God.”

The paradox — and possibly the greatest feat — of her reign was her ability to be so visibly dutiful for so long without revealing her inner self. “Of all the world’s public figures, she is the most private,” veteran British journalist Bill Deedes wrote on her 80th birthday.

The queen never gave interviews, published her journals or stepped anywhere near the fray of party politics.

In his book “The Real Elizabeth,” journalist and historian Andrew Marr wrote, “Her view of her role has been that she is a symbol, and that symbols are better off keeping mostly quiet. The Queen’s style of monarchy has buried much of a sense of self, as we understand that today. ... The Queen is still what she does. There is only a little space (though an interesting space) between Queen Elizabeth II and the woman who lives her life.”

Toward the end of her life, as she cut back her public duties and confronted a series of personal crises, that space seemed ever smaller. In 2020, her grandson Prince Harry essentially defected from the royal family after his marriage to American actress Meghan Markle. In 2021, Elizabeth lost her near-lifelong soul mate Prince Philip after 73 years of marriage, and she had to deal with the fall from grace of her second son, Prince Andrew, accused of sexual misconduct.

And yet for most of her reign, the queen was so deft at subordinating herself to her role that her subjects “actually know much less about the queen than they imagine,” said biographer Robert Lacey in a 2015 interview with The Washington Post. “But it seems to me that’s less important than that people feel they know her very well.”

Were it not for a divorcée from Baltimore, however, the world would hardly have registered a woman known to friends by her childhood nickname of Lilibet.

Pushed onto center stage
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born a royal princess on April 21, 1926, at her maternal grandparents’ house in London’s Mayfair district. Her mother, also Elizabeth, was from Scottish aristocracy. Her father, Albert, Duke of York, was the second son of King George V. Princess Elizabeth’s younger sister, Margaret Rose, was born four years later.

The family eventually moved to a mansion on the Windsor estate upriver from London that gave their dynasty its name. As a child, Elizabeth looked set for a genteel life of relative obscurity as a minor royal.

The Duke of York’s older brother, Edward, was in line to succeed their father as king when he died in early 1936. But by then, Edward (called David by his family) was in love with the American socialite Wallis Simpson, whose impending divorce — her second — made her wholly unfit to become his queen in the eyes of the British establishment, including the Church of England.

Edward abdicated — a shocking decision that H.L. Mencken called “the greatest story since the Crucifixion” — and Edward’s brother became King George VI.

Suddenly, at the age of 10, Elizabeth lived with a king for a father and the likelihood that she would be queen one day.

She was tutored in British history, and the lives of the monarchs and their fraught relationships with Parliament became less an academic lesson than a map for navigating public life. She was taught to drive a carriage and to ride sidesaddle, a skill needed later on when she reviewed her troops.

During World War II, which ended when she was 19, she conspicuously did not sail to the safety of Canada, as some had advised, but stayed in England and joined the army.

By then, she had found her life’s companion, Prince Philip, also a great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and the son of an exiled Greek prince. Philip was making his mark as a young officer in the British navy under the patronage of his uncle Louis Mountbatten.

Their wedding on Nov. 20, 1947, amid postwar reconstruction, provided what Winston Churchill called “a flash of color on the hard road we have to travel.” Now barely remembered, the storybook nuptials between a radiant princess and a dashing blond naval officer foreshadowed the royal weddings of Prince Charles and the former Diana Spencer in 1981 and Prince William and the former Kate Middleton in 2011.

Elizabeth had four children, Prince Charles (1948), Princess Anne (1950), Prince Andrew (1960) and Prince Edward (1964), all of whom survive. She and Philip had anticipated a long reign for George VI and the chance for a fairly normal life as a navy family, but in the winter of 1952, the king died of cancer at 56. Elizabeth accepted her role and fate even if she may have yearned for a wholly different life out of the spotlight

A new queen gains confidence
Then-Princess Elizabeth and her husband were in Kenya and on their way to Australia, taking the place of her ailing father on an official visit, when she learned that the king had died. She flew home as the 25-year-old queen, to be greeted at the airport by a somber phalanx of leaders, including Churchill.

Her crowning the following year provided a much-needed dose of glamour and optimism — about a new Elizabethan Age — in a country suffering from postwar austerity, sharp political and social divisions, the dismantling of its colonial empire and declining global influence.

Her coronation took place in Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953 — the day that word reached London that mountaineer Edmund Hillary of New Zealand had placed a Union Jack atop Mount Everest in a British-led expedition.

For more than 400 years, the English sovereign has had to navigate the role of being head of state while ceding political power to Parliament and maintaining strict partisan neutrality. By dint of her longevity and diligence, however, Elizabeth had a significant behind-the-scenes advisory role to a succession of prime ministers who traveled each Tuesday from Downing Street to Buckingham Palace to see her.

In those sessions, she offered the political leader of the day confidential advice from her unique perspective of national life and knowledge of foreign leaders and diplomats. Whether the prime ministers took her counsel may have been another matter — the sessions were as private as conversations in a confessional.
At first, her influence was limited by her lack of experience: Churchill was by 1952 an old lion who still spoke fondly of Queen Victoria. But with the passing years, Elizabeth saw prime ministers come and go, and could offer a long-term view enriched by a fierce memory for names and events. “The boot is on the other foot,” Prince Charles said in the 2012 BBC documentary. After so long, “it’s the queen who has Sir Winston’s span of experience.”

In general, Elizabeth was known to have clicked more with some prime ministers than others. In the early 1970s, Edward Heath “treated her as a piece of necessary business,” wrote an Elizabeth biographer, Ben Pimlott. Worse, the pro-European Heath was openly antagonistic to Commonwealth interests and once blocked her from attending a conference of leaders in Singapore.

As the monarch of the Commonwealth of 15 realms and more than 50 nations, Elizabeth kept Britain closely linked to its former territories. In 1999, Australians rejected a referendum to become a republic in a vote seen as reflecting a loyalty to Elizabeth rather than the U.K.

Much was made of the supposed chilly relationship between Elizabeth and Margaret Thatcher, who denied any undue friction. The Iron Lady’s grandiose manner made for an awkward pairing, Pimlott argued. Thatcher would sit tensely on the edge of her seat, which in itself unsettled the queen. “Audiences ceased to be intimate occasions, and became brisk, formal ones,” he wrote.

Two of Thatcher’s predecessors, Anthony Eden and Harold Wilson, found a form of therapy in the sessions, and drew them out.

“Wilson was most enthused about his royal audiences as he came to feel besieged by ministers from left- and right-wing factions,” wrote Marr, the journalist and historian.

Family struggles
As a wife and mother, Elizabeth guarded her privacy with ferocity.

There were times when Prince Philip’s will clashed with the wishes of the prevailing political leaders. Given Philip’s take-charge persona, those episodes led to some of the queen’s most trying times, according to biographers.

Philip balked at moving to the cavernous and court-dominated Buckingham Palace but was overruled. When his uncle smugly announced after the king’s death that the House of Windsor would become the House of Mountbatten, the name change was swiftly put down by Churchill, to Philip’s humiliation.

“I’m nothing but a bloody amoeba,” he complained. In 1960, to Elizabeth’s relief, the government agreed to allow her descendants to use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Despite Philip’s subordination — against type — the marriage was solid and happy, and the prince sometimes referred endearingly to his wife as “Sausage.” The queen’s opening of her speeches with “My husband and I ... ” became a catchphrase. Courtiers who saw them at close quarters observed “a reserved, yet visible, fondness,” Pimlott wrote.

As if to compensate for her official preeminence, Elizabeth deferred to Philip in the upbringing of their children, a strategy that wrought its own effects, especially with the heir.

Philip decided to send Charles to his alma mater, Gordonstoun, a boarding school on the frigid coast of Scotland renowned for its commitment to building character through rigor and privation.

Charles, in middle age, complained of a childhood made unhappy by his mother’s remoteness and father’s authority. His mother remained silent, in public at least, bolstering her image as a hands-off parent and a person who heartily disliked confrontation.

The queen spent the autumn of her life coming to terms with family scandals but also with a media hunger for them unknown when she was a young queen.

Although the queen was said to have adored her younger sister, Margaret, it is hard to imagine two more different siblings, or the state of the monarchy had Margaret been born first. Well before her marriage ended in divorce, Margaret was known as a princess who liked the high life, and who disdained official duty but insisted on royal treatment. Margaret died in 2002.

Margaret’s scandals presaged those of the queen’s children, and the fairy-tale marriage of Charles and Diana turned into the soap opera of the century. Amid public recriminations and revelations of infidelity, the Prince and Princess of Wales formally split in 1992 and, at the queen’s insistence, divorced in 1996.

Elizabeth faced other trials in 1992: the divorce of Princess Anne; the separation of Prince Andrew from his wife, Sarah; the release of embarrassing taped phone conversations involving Charles and Diana; and a devastating fire at the queen’s beloved Windsor Castle.

“It has turned out,” she said at a formal luncheon, “to be an annus horribilis.”

Lacey, in his biography of the queen, noted that “she had to use Latin to do it, but for the first time in 40 years, Elizabeth II had given public voice to some genuine pain and vulnerability.”

Not quite five years later, she faced the most severe test of her monarchy. After Diana and her boyfriend died in Paris as their car raced away from the paparazzi, Britons were overcome with a collective grief and rage that turned toward Charles and his family. Elizabeth remained at Balmoral Castle, feeling that her first duty was to isolate her young grandsons from the mounting hysteria.

The anger became focused on the flagpole above Buckingham Palace. The crowd outside wanted to see a flag at half-staff. For the queen, that would have been a breach of protocol and tradition — the palace flagpole was there to fly the royal standard only when the monarch was in residence.

“In the strange symbiosis between ruler and ruled, the people were insisting that the Queen acknowledge that she ruled by their consent, and bend to their insistence,” Tony Blair, prime minister at the time, wrote in his memoir. “Public anger was turning towards the royal family.”

Her initial intransigence, however, melted after entreaties from her advisers. The flag flew, she returned early from Balmoral, in time to appear with the crowd in front of Buckingham Palace, then broke her silence in a televised address. She refused to lionize Diana, but she grieved for her: “No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.”

The episode was a rare reminder that for all its history and presence in the fabric and psyche of British life, the monarchy is a fragile institution.

Wallis Simpson, the woman whose fate altered Elizabeth’s destiny, wrote of being unprepared for Edward’s abrupt rejection by an establishment that had put him on a pedestal. “Nothing that I had seen had made me appreciate how vulnerable the King really was, how little power he could actually command,” she wrote.

While Edward put his personal interests ahead of the monarchy, his niece Elizabeth dedicated her life to putting the monarchy first.

Pimlott wrote that “in her reserve there was a vein of sadness: some claimed to see beneath the surface a hint of passion, though for who or what it was impossible to tell. Yet she remained self-sufficient, and did not lose her grip.”

We Appear To Be In Confusion About Nigeria - Tinubu

PMB'S LEGACY AND THE NIGERIAN STATE :
(AJURI NGELALE SSA TO THE PRESIDENT)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOoEwZrt_1A

He died unfortunately

MASTAkiLLAh:
I really wonder why Tinubu urchins want to force Muslim-Muslim ticket down the throat of Christians. Nigeria of today does not support that madness, there's no way you can sugarcoat it. Fun fact, no Muslim will support a Christian-Christian ticket from any of the major political parties, we would have had MURIC and other jihadist organisations barking hysterically by now

Children like you need to read history.
Insulting people because of their views speaks volume about you.
Let me help your little mind with a brief history.

FLASH BACK CHRISTIAN-CHRISTAIN TICKETS

1. In 1978, UPN. Presidential torch bearer chief Awolowo Obafemi picked his running mate Chief Umeadi Phillip (ready to win but failed) Christian/Christian. No comments.

2. In 1979, Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe and Prof. Ishaya Audu of kaduna state ran upon Christian/Christian. You want to know the party? Later!

3. In 1966-1975 Yakubu Gowon and Joseph Akinwale ruled us Christian/Christian (military era)

4. Johnson Agui Ironsi and Babafemi Ogundipe ruled Nigeria on Christian/Christian (military era). No noise. Find out the date.

5. Did you know the running mate of chief Tunji Braithwaite?

6. Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Mrs Erelu Olusola governed Osun state 2003-2010 Christian/Christian. No noise from Muslim ends.

7. Bar. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state and his deputy. Christian/Christian, No noise and comments from Islamic movements.

8. Mr. Ayo Fayose ruled Ekiti from 2014-2018 with his deputy Niyi Adebayo/Olujimi Abiodun. Christian/Christian. No noise from Muslim community.

9. Don’t forget Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti 2010-2014 deputised by a Christian. Christian/Christian. No murmuring.

10. Since First democracy to date South-South, south east states has never tasted Muslim deputy governors not to talk of governors, 1978 to date Flash back.

Please let’s pray for better governance! Enough of threatening!

Since the Emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Ahmed Tinubu as APC presidential Aspirant, the social media has been thrown into the frenzy and arguments of Muslim Muslim Ticket.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been outspoken, media house correspondents and politicians all expressed their views.
The Church of God as a matter of urgency must look beyond the Position of Vice president.

*Summary of the Vice president's powers according to the Nigerian constitution;

*Exercise the Powers of the President in the capacity as Acting President

*Participates in all cabinet meetings and chairs it in the absence of the President

*He is a member of the National Security Council

*He chairs the National Economic Council

*Exercise any other powers delegated to him by the President

From the above we can clearly see that the Vice President is basically tasked to stand in for the president, particularly in cabinet meetings.

The VP's position is more like a spare tyre that can be put to use only at owners behest or during the absence of the main tyre.

*How has the VP position helped the Church?*

The VP's position can not help the church in any way more than it can help an average Nigerian because it lacks the power to do so. The unfortunate incident of Southern Kaduna, Benue State and every other areas where Christians face persecution daily should tell the church something.
The VP's position is of no benefit to the church but politicians seeking elective position.
Policies that affects the lives of an average Nigerian are made in the National Assembly. The assembly is a very powerful arm of the government that can make or mar any organisation in the country including the church.
The leadership position of the national assembly is very powerful.
The Senate President and Speaker of the house representatives are more powerful and influential than the Vice President. They can easily influence so many issues that affects our lives as Nigerians and the Church.
As we're approaching 2023 elections, Christians leaders and the Church need to shift their focus from the Vice President's Position and put more attention on who becomes the Senate president and Speaker of the house of representatives.

SOURCE : Copied from Sir Ola's WhatsApp!

You must understand any one can decide to write anything they like.
According to you my bible was handpicked from different sources,
'Infact the Disciples were illiterates who couldn't read or write'
'Everytime Jesus spoke in the New testament, his words actually comes from the EMERALD TABLET OF TOTH'

The above claims made by you is enough evidence to show you don't know what you're talking about.

Take time learn about the history of the Bible don't just read from some sources and jump to a wrong conclusion.

Bleepbleep:
Conspiracy theories you call it? I gave sources, I listed out ancient records that were first hand recorded by indigenous people who had a first hand naration to these things where your supposed bible stories were handpicked from and you still term it as conspiracy theories?

Op need to read more objective texts about Jesus not some conspiracy theories.

That's because Seun allowed Nairaland become Tribal War Field. This isn't the Nairaland I used know and liked soo much. Nairaland has become very toxic filled with hate. What you see on Nairaland is complete opposite of what is happening in the street. Lots of our Ndigbo and and Yoruba folks are friends and help each other daily
Nairalanders need to learn how to express their views freely without insult, hate or Prejudice.
Lots of mature people no longer contribute to this forum because of this issue.
I hope SEUN can do something about it Asap.

DonPagli:
Everytime online we see cursing, fighting, slander between these two tribes. Yet every Saturday there's always an Igbo/Yoruba wedding going on somewhere in Nigeria.

Olaniyi weds Chinyere
Okafor weds Oluwatosin

So what basically is the issue.

Is it a case of fight no reach bone or a case of two tribes being used by their political masters to wipe up sentiments for the benefit of only the political masters?

Eg Tinubu's people seem to be hell bent on introducing tribal differences/sentiments anytime elections are mentioned.

But in essence the two tribes act like they need each other more than the other tribes in the country.

Make we reason this thing well.

*The Egg is About to Be Broken Again*
*Tim Akano*


Come, let us reason together, now that such exercise is still meaningful; before the sky gets dark and evil, and the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
Today, the Nation’s Ship is on fire. The Elites are shopping for new furniture to equip the burning ship, instead of looking for water and C02 to put out the fires. ’No be juju be that’?

Is a soft landing still possible for Nigeria at this stage, if yes, how? That is the exam.

Let me unpack the seven variants of madness inside Nigeria’s elite backpack that confirm the egg is about to be broken from the outside. Why this analogy? You ask
You see, when the egg breaks from inside, life begins, but when it breaks as a result of outside force, life ends. Before a State will collapse and disappear from the face of the earth, her Ship will pass through six harbours to load: Stagnation, Retrogression, Fragile, Failing, Failed and Disappearance. Which harbour is Nigeria’s Ship loading from presently?

*Madness N0 1*:

The ’TikTok Democracy’ that Nigeria is practising is a hallucination, it is not working and the ‘one-man-one-vote’ principle is a mirage. The vote of an idiot who adds zero value to the economy pays zero tax, zero education, and zero skill apart from voting skill carries the same weight as the vote of a man who pays tax and oils the wheel of the nation’s economy. Smart nations open schools, factories and Tank Farms, while Nigerian politicians open VOTERS FARMS, where voters are raised and cultivated like sheep. However you stack the cards, vertically or horizontally in a country where the uneducated young adults on the streets are more than the ones working in the factories and schooling, the Idiots will always have it. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Politicians breed and incubate the idiots, who in turn ‘’democratically’’ install one of their own as King. This is why. Nigeria is going downhill, from ‘’top to bottom’’. The Greeks have a word to describe this charade: IDIOCRACY.

*Madness N02*:
The life span of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country forcibly held together and centrally administered is three scores and ten, then the superglue of force turns loose. As Nigeria approaches her 70th birthday, the Elites need to stop avoiding the thinking cap and see it instead, as an ally.

For instance, the USSR with a population of 280 million people, a union of 15 Republics; 14 heavy-laden wives and Russia, the condescending husband, survived only for 69 years (1922-1991) before the union was dismembered. The first wife to file for divorce was Lithuania, followed by Georgia while Kazakhstan exited last on December 16th, 1991. The curtain fell on 26th December 1991, the Red Banner flag was lowered, and the USSR, which Russia boasted was indivisible and unconquerable, collapsed like a pack of cards. Today, Putin and the Russian elites exhibit symptoms of malarial dreaming, nursing the hopes that one day, USSR2 will resurrect.

Similarly, the federal republic of Czechoslovakia (1918-1993) fumbled and wobbled until age 75, when she split into two distinct independent countries of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Yugoslavia collapsed on the eve of her 74th birthday and violently split into 7 nations along ethnic and religious lines: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.

Paradoxically, each of the 7 independent countries is richer than Yugoslavia. For instance, in 2022, Croatia per Capita Income (PCI) is $16,500, Serbia, $7,100. Kosovo $4,500, Slovenia $27,000, Macedonia $5,700, and Bosnia and Herzegovina $62,600, while Yugoslavia in 1991 was just $5000. When you unbundle any unbalanced federation, a branch can become bigger than the whole, through healthy competition or a combination of other variables.

Sudan which gained independence on January 1st 1956 from the Anglo-Egyptian condominium was another failed union. Sudan had about 600 ethnic groups speaking over 400 languages. But by July 2011 at 55 years, the hitherto geographically largest country in Africa disintegrated and, from the ashes emerged two independent but antagonistic countries.

What does all this add up to? That a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country forcibly yoked together and unitarily administered has a lifespan of about 70 years before it collapses. (69 +75+74+55/4= 68+years).
Europe, the UK, USA knew what they were doing when they chose loose Federation with a referendum clause in their respective constitution and focus on building factories and Tank Farms instead of Voters' farms.

*Madness N03*:
Approaching the crucial 2023 elections flimsily, clumsily and lousily as the elites are doing is dangerous. The new game is nationalism, the old game- globalisation is preparing to go on sabbatical. Every smart nation is seeking self-reliance. This is the wrong time for countries to engage in acts that may lead to a crisis. The superpowers who could separate warring nations are busy warring in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq Yemen etc. Finland and Sweden may soon join NATO and become the new battlefields, plus the threat of a WW3 becomes a strong possibility as the days go by. *Nigeria should be careful, lest she becomes collateral damage*.

*Madness N04*:
STAGNATION/RETROGRESSION: how can Nigeria be a dwarf despite her humongous resources? Let us search for truth from the thick forest of facts. In 1992, Nigeria’s per capita income stood at $2,030. As of May 2022, it is the same: $2,083. Little wonder why JPMorgan recently (10/5/22) removed Nigeria from its list of emerging markets, saying the country has not taken advantage of high oil prices, unlike the Saudi Aramco which overthrew Apple on 12th May 2022 to become the most valuable company in the world at $2.4 Trillion.

For instance, UAE’s GDP has grown 112 times bigger than it was in 1971 with a per capita income in 2022 of $40,000.

South Korea grew her per capita income from $10,170 in 1992 to $28,075 in 2022, while Singapore grew from $27,060 in 1992 to $61,000 in 2022.
Wait for the bombshell: While 6 countries with a combined population of 183 million people generate $4.2Trillion in GDP, Nigeria with a population of 220million has a GDP of about $400B. (UAE: Population- 10m, GDP- $400B, Malaysia: Population- 33m, GDP-$366B, Israel: Population- 9.6M, GDP- $501B, Thailand: Population- 66m, GDP-$505B, South Korea: Population- 51.8M, GDP $1.8Trillion, and Taiwan: Population -23M, GDP $690B.
*Nigeria is not productive and can barely fulfil her destiny as it is presently structured*.

*Madness N05*:
LACK OF ELITE CONSENSUS: All smart and developing nations have something in common: Elite Consensus around a common vision. India's elites decided to produce Software Engineers for the world. In 1950, three years after independence, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) was established. Today, Indian Engineers are leading the world and remitting about $100 Billion yearly according to MOIA.
Taiwanese elites decided to control the heart of technology; in 1987, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was established, and while it is considered to be a lesser-known company, in reality, rules the world.
The same can be said for the UAE. Their elites built a consensus around Hospitality and Tourism, through Dubai. The Chinese elites built a consensus around Global Supply Chain (GSC), which catapulted China to N0 2 in the global classroom.

*Here is the exam: who among the Presidential aspirants can govern any of these two countries successfully, and how*?

Country A: Four countries are merged under one unitary, central government: Saudi Arabia+ Israel + Iran+ Italy and form the *Federal Republic of SAIII*

Country B: Pakistan+ India + Bangladesh+ Ireland become the *Federal Republic of PIBI*

*SAIII=PIBI=Nigeria. QED. You gerrit or fogerrabourrit.*

Professor Mahmadu Jega posed a poser: ‘with the mountain of problems facing Nigeria, why do we have dozens of people coming out to vie for the post of President? The answer is GREED! My hunch is that each of the candidates and their supporters have a cleaver inside their pocket with which to cut their own share of Nigeria’s dying whale.

Make Abraham Lincoln the President, Winston Churchill, VP, Lee Kuan Yew the Finance Minister and Barack Obama the Chief of Staff to the President, forging elite consensus in any of those 3 republics (SAIII, PIBI and Nigeria) is not just a Herculean task, but it is an impossibility. *And no elite consensus, no transformation, no life after 70*!

The Sokoto Jungle Justice of 10th May 2022 provides a litmus test for all the Presidential aspirants. Any aspirant who cannot take a public stand on the constitutionality of jungle justice is not a fit and proper person to lead Nigeria.

*Madness N0 6:*
Pleasure without Productivity, Gains without Pains, Platinum lifestyle without Perspiration.
The country which received the lousy trophy of the world’s poverty capital in 2019 and has the world’s highest number of out of school children is also the country reputed to host the highest number of private jet owners in the world after America and China and one of the biggest Champagne consuming nations. *The Country dies when the two most thriving sectors of the economy are Politics and YAHOO+*!

*Madness N07:*
Nigeria, a Kidnapped State in Chains.
Nigeria’s situation is worse than what Political Economists call ‘’State Capture’.
On May 24 1966, through Decree 34 promulgated by the then Military Administration of General Aguiyi Ironsi, the ‘’FIRST NIGERIA’’ was kidnapped and chained down. Liberating a captured state is far easier than a kidnapped one with manacles on her legs and shackles on her arms. For instance, despite the Mafia’s notoriety, Mexico remains the world’s 15th strongest economy in the world.

Ironsi got it all wrong when he concluded that “All Nigerians want an end to regionalism, tribal loyalties, and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interest…’’ The then Military Governor of the Northern Region, Gen Hassan Usman Katsina and Gen David Ejoor of the Mid-Western Region expressed strong reservation and opined that it would lead to future complications. Lt Col Ojukwu and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe celebrated the unification Decree. General Ironsi tapped his kinsman, Mr Nwokedi of the Civil Service to produce a white paper for the establishment of the ‘’Administrative machinery for the unification decree’’. Gen Adekunle Fajuyi of the Western Region maintained neutrality.
The rain began to beat Nigeria in 1966 when the Military thought it could decree against tribal consciousness – something which Europeans fought a 100-years war on. Unarguably, the relative peace which Europe has enjoyed in the last 80 years is due to the ethnic re-alignments in Europe since the end of WW2.
Some Nigerians ignorantly still believe that all Nigeria needs is a strong leader. Josip Tito was a strong leader of Yugoslavia, yet the country pulled apart along ethnic lines after his death. We lie when we say ethnic groupings are anachronistic. They are not.

The only thing missing in Nigeria’s unenviable history is not to have been governed by someone who died and rose up or an ALIEN from Jupiter!

We have tried a Technocrat (Shonekan); Benevolent Dictator ( IBB); Kill & Go General (Abacha- Kanuri); Academician & Ijaw ( Jonathan, PhD); Poor Teacher (Balewa); ‘Praying when looting is going on’ President (Shaghari); Yoruba &Engineer ( OBJ 1&2); Meyitti Allah ideologue & Fulani hero (Buhari 1&2); the Socialist & a Good man (Yar Adua); Youth &Middle Belt (Gowon); Practising Muslim (Abdusalam); Hausa &Revolutionist (Muritala); Igbo (Ironsi, Zik) as Presidents. We have tried an orphan (IBB) and Mr Integrity (PMB) and what do they all have in common? Similar results ranging from P7, P8 & F9. Nigeria has failed to become a nation but instead she remains an economic dwarf in the comity of nations despite the gargantuan natural and human resources she is blessed with.

Who among the current gladiators has a better profile and preparation than OBJ of 1999? The whole world saw in OBJ a second Mandela but OBJ could not “Mandelarize” This tells you that Nigeria's ailments do not respond to "strong leader" treatment.

Which Team shall we send to retrieve and unchain Nigeria from the kidnappers’ Den, then? We cannot count on Buhari’s successor for a successful rescue mission. There seems to be a thing that makes the ‘Aso Rock General Overseer’ become clueless, ball-less and goal-less, no sooner than he is sworn in.

Whatever it takes, I insist, we must preserve Nigeria as an entity. Without Nigeria, the hope of transforming Africa and the entire black race will remain a will-o-the-wisp.

*Soft Landing Pathways*
A regional form of governance, anchored on the 1963 constitution with a modicum modification (insertion of Referendum clause: Dr Azikwe was wrong to have opposed the referendum clause in the 1960s) is the most suitable for a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country like Nigeria, where every Region has power to prioritize her developmental agenda and pay 30% tax to the Center in Abuja for security, passport and currency Management.

*How*?
Nigeria is lucky that some members of the Military cabal who witnessed the kidnapping exercise and who know where Nigeria is chained are still alive. Yugoslavia lacked this. When President Josip Tito and a dozen of strong Personalities who stabilized Yugoslavia passed away, the country passed away with them. There was no one with the institutional memory and voice to call the boys to order when Mr Devil paid them a courtesy visit.
Nigerians should appeal to the *Owners of Nigeria* to untie it before they go the way of all flesh.

To this end, I recommend the immediate setting up of *NIGERIA RE-WORK EMINENT PERSONALITIES TEAM* *NREPT* whose Executive Secretary shall be Dr Father Matthew Kukah, and Chairman, Chief Olusegun Obsanjo and Co-Chairman, The Sultan of Sokoto. Other recommended members are IBB, TY.Danjuma, Gowon, Abdusalam, Pastor EA Adeboye, plus 12 opinion leaders, two from each geo political Zone ( G8+12).

Strange illnesses require strange medication. The main task of NREPT is to get the National Assembly to meet and invoke the DOCTRINE OF NECESSITY ON RE-WORK NIGERIA. This will empower the National Assembly to circumvent the laborious legal complications that have been militating against restructuring since 1993. In a word, *NREPT* should help us rescue Nigeria from the Kidnappers’ den, help us unchain it and drop her at the 1963 Roundabout from where she was kidnapped. Every Region will get her best Surgeons to stabilize her portion of Nigeria and make it work. We need at least 50 years to experiment with the Regional government, in the first instance.

By my rough projection, if Nigeria takes this bypass, within the next decade, Nigeria’s GDP will increase from $400 Billion to about $4.4 Trillion, which will be like adding the GDPs of South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Israel, UAE, Qatar and Malaysia together.

The manufacturing Western Region becomes South Korea at $1.8 Trillion, the mineral resource-rich Core North becomes a combination of UAE+ Malaysia- $800 Billion, Middle Belt, the Food Basket is Thailand at $500 Billion, and the innovative East is Taiwan at $700 Billion and the oil and gas rich Mid- West is Qatar+ Israel at $700 Billion.

Show me someone who votes down the above option and I will show you a rapaciously greedy, lazy man.

In conclusion, I will exit with the following five thoughts for the elites to ponder on, before I handover the microphone to Nigerians to ‘kontinu’ the conversation.

One, Nature does not allow a situation to be mismanaged for long. President Mubarak and the then Egyptian ruling elites realised this truism too late. They were humiliated out of power and all died unsung. The 70 million ’sleeping’ Nigerians who survive on $ 1.00 per day are like time bombs waiting to explode.
Two, there is no equilibrium in greed. The Yugoslavia ruling elites, trumpeting the indivisibility of their country just like their Nigeria counterparts, were busy having fun inside the locked room, with A/Cs and sound stereos on, Champagne in one hand, steak in the other; women of easy virtues rubbing their heads, and alas, they forgot to lock the "kitchen door" from where the army of angry, hungry and frustrated Yugoslavians entered the room and detonated the bomb which sent most of the elites to the Great Beyond as they ran out of time to activate their PLAN B. The second passport was useless.

Three, there is no equilibrium in poverty, nothing says Nigeria cannot go further downhill, if we ‘kontinu’ with this TikTok democracy without corresponding dividends.

Four, Nature abhors a vacuum. A Nation’s tree that does not bear fruits after 70 years may ‘’fall down and die’’.

Five and finally, Nigeria’s Ship has since passed the Tokenism harbour, nothing short of a complete remodeling will save the Ship from capsizing.

Homework: What lessons can the Nigerian Elites learn from the Yugoslavia experience and what do they understand by Collective Enlightened self Interest (CESI)? (100 marks).
