I had a similar experience a few years ago when a relative said she had seen a letter that I had sent to a solicitor come up on her iPad. I don't have any apple devices so it can't have been that our devices were synched. I tried to find the document on her iPad shortly after and couldn't find it again. It was very odd and we never got to the bottom of it so if anyone can explain it, I'd be really interested too. -
Hi, I 'd like to recommend H. Ozturk Roofing Services. Huseyin has done some excellent work for me repairing lead work, guttering, mortar and missing tiles etc. He always takes the time to listen to what the problem is and carries out the repairs to a high standard. He is very professional, polite, arrives on time and cleans up afterwards. I highly recommend him. -

Old thread i know but just wanted to say that we have taken our youngest son out of Charter East now as he was so unhappy, nose diving academically, finding it hard to make positive connections and as a family we just could not watch his self esteem plummet any further. We decide to opt for homeschooling via Minerva MVA online academy. It's pretty positive so far and early days but we are hugely relieved to be out of what had for us become a toxic system. -
I think the family is a valuable soft power. When Zelensky was humiliated and bullied in the White House, he was at Windsor for tea the very next day, which sent a powerful message. Same when the king visited Canada. I think even republican states and their leaders do revere the idea of a royal family and all the pomp that comes with it. Being able to dangle a second state visit invitation to Trump, who requires subjugation by flattery, affords us a not insignificant amount of leverage. Their supposed apolitical stance does give them a valuable platform to advocate for causes, for example for climate change, domestic abuse, homelessness, etc and maintain visible relations in the UK with different religious and ethnic groups (charles has been v good at this). The more the family can visibly separate wealth from power, the better. I think some of the the ways the duchy of cornwall makes its money is repugnant. For eg, if it's going to lease land and property to the NHS and MOD it needs to be peppercorn, not for profit. There's a lot of sketchyness around the duchy, and any scandal seems to disappear in a matter of days, which demonstrates the frightening power the palace yields. If William really wants to make the family above reproach, his family and estate has to be squeaky clean and it simply isn't He and his father also needs to go one step further and pass a government act so the rogue's titles are truly stripped, not just in abeyance. There's still more scandal to come and they'll need to be even more ruthless
