About that White House ballroom and the East Wing

All honors derive from the Sovereign, or I should say-- all honours derive from the Sovereign.
The marriage of Charles and Camilla is all kinds of unlawful because it violated Parliamentary law.
My view is this doesn't make his marriage illegitimate. It was performed through legal process. It's not illegitimate.
But there will be in asterisk next to it when historians consider it. And I have no doubt there is much to consider.
I think Charles making the changes defacto was his high water mark so far. His "action man" persona wasn't ready for prime time. Everyone's a critic.
It reminded me of the myth about a rope nobody can untie. The hero breaks it in two with his sword.
William will get what he wants from Parliament, if necessary.
There is no other person who could be the next king without the monarchy falling. imo.
I think a lot will be made of the fact he is a new generation, confidence inspiring, whatever.
He can't stand Andrew. They have some negative family history.
Andrew and and Markle are persons he thinks about while being in his "ruthless prince" mode. Catherine shares his opinion.
It doesn't look good for the dastardly duos.

Just in case he forgets where/what it is.
A new sign was spotted adorning the White House this week, prompting backlash from lawmakers who have noted that Donald Trump is quite literally gilding the White House during a government shutdown.
Trump has been remaking the White House in his own image with the recent dramatic demolition of the East Wing and active construction of a new ballroom, doing so with plenty of gold. Written in cursive gold script, a sign identifying the Oval Office is now affixed beside the office鈥檚 door.

Looks like it's on paper, perhaps waiting for a signwriter to attend?
Whether you like the script or not, some things are unnecessary. -
