Oh God. A very good reason to avoid the news for the next 6 months: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42137179

Many websites are already awash with pictures and stories.

The BBC rescheduled their programmes this morning to cover this 'event'.

I have nothing against Harry, but I'm not interested in his personal life. I wish him well and hope his marriage doesn't end like mine did.

I wish the media would give more attention to the needy and homeless, especially the run up to Christmas.

I think the needy are well cared for at Chritmas - from people like myself -who spent many a Christmas helping with the cooking and serving of Christmas day dinners. with Salvation Army.

Some slip through the net - but that is life.

I welcome a bit of Royal romance., and why not?

Ok it costs the country money but then, so does the government. These needy people wouldn't be so needy if the government played fair and used the money in the kitty properly instead of filtering it off into to their own salaries with rise after rise, for what?
Jobs well done?
They'll come a cropper.

The homeless are a year round problem, not just at Christmas

The Salvation Army is one of the few charities I give to - mostly because their adverts are about the only ones that show what the charity actually does with my money, instead of just trying to pull at my cynical & hardened heart strings.
