They appear to align themselves to a particular party which may be objectionable to some.
Antagonise no man, for you never know the hour when you may have need of him.

They are likely to engage with Ministers and leading opposition figures as part of their education and in an effort to exercise influence in carefully considered key areas especially those related to environmental policy.

They appear to have plenty of unqualified opinion pointing towards the possibility of an unlikely catastrophe with themselves being well insulated and excluded from the slightest discomfort. While we, poor saps, pick up the tab for all the monumental taxes, tariffs and subsidies without end.

When you see some of the stuff they have to sit through whilst looking interested and engaged I'd take issue with that.

Because they needed a sudden ailment to justify barely 2 hrs notice of cancellation.

Watching Price Charles as he waited to lay the Queen's wreath was one of the very few times I have felt sorry for him as he looked into a future without Queen Liz. The other time of pity was watching his terror at being crowned Prince of Wales.

This particular monarch most certainly isn't.
