They are contemporaries: Charles is 76 and Donald is 79. Donald doesn’t just like gilt and gold. He also likes pomp and pageantry. What else ? Crowns of course. And those bling-bling bagatelles you hang on your chest. Charles, have you thought about decorating your new friend with the Order of Garter ? Honi soit qui mal y pense. He has the stuff and I’m sure he’d love it.
Donald met Charles’s younger brother, Prince Andrew, a long time ago, at a mutual friend’s party : it was the day of that friend’s fiftieth birthday, huh ? I hope Donald and Prince Andrew can talk about the good old days. That was before they were bothered by a certain gutter press. Andrew paid – amount was not disclosed – to have peace with the plaintiff, who was a minor girl, that’s for sure. Donald and Andrew had lost touch long before this mutual friend committed suicide in prison.
To be part of the family, Donald would do anything. He really wants to help. For instance he could play a very positive role with Charles’s son, Harry, who lives in California and is notoriously at odds with his father. A lovely ninth peace agreement the Nobel Academy should take into consideration ? May be…
The English monarchy is an very old thing, as if extracted from naphtalene. It is based solely on centuries-old rituals and traditions. It derives its legitimacy (and its huge revenues) from them. Apparences are all and this time, Donald, please, don’t walk in front of the king during the troop’s parade like you did with the queen during your previous state visit. Stay behind !
Humble, if you know the word ?

Nota Bene : England is a colony of American capitalism. According to the US Internal Revenue Service for 2022, the United States had 1,369 multinationals generating more than $836 billion in revenue in the UK, representing more than a quarter of the UK’s GDP that year. The danger of this situation is the loss of England’s independence.
Example: investments in the UK, announced and then canceled by a few major US pharmaceutical companies, could be revived if the British government were willing to allow them to increase the selling price of their drugs to the NHS.
How to deal with that situation ? Who has said : blackmail ?
