@campbellclaret Philip Schofield had a long tv history also. He did nothing criminal and yet dismissed. Did you share sympathy for him?

@piersmorgan This young man is damaged. He witnessed, at the age of 12 the death of his adoring mum, his father's affair with Camilla, his mother's grief at breakdown of her marriage and had to walk behind her coffin. He has conflicts. You'd have to be very cold not to see it!

@PetronellaWyatt Like you, I don't know either except as tv hosts. BTW was it dismissal or perhaps an option to step down which he availed of? Yet @hollywills was considered a 'sister' when he 'came out' She's no sister now! My advice to @ITV let Holly go now. Too much damage.

@ArthurJEdwards Camilla and Charles have a lot to answer for. They continued to have an affair with total disregard for Diana and their respective children, especially Diana's sons. They were selfish. I understand why Harry is hurting.

My daughter has no clue of the Magdalene Laundries, she has no clue of the Mother & babies homes in Ireland. As a single, working, independent woman, my father couldn't control me. He, however succeeded in sending two sisters to the Nuns.. one baby retrieved, one lost to adoption

When I lived in Ireland (Dublin) I never really appreciated the ability to drive to the beach. I had Sandymount, Bray within half hour. Skerries & others within 1 hour. I took it for granted! Now in UK, the nearest is 100 miles .... 🙄
