Senedd

It's not the first time he's done it.

In Nottingham, I completely overshadowed the King's opening of the Welsh Parliament.

It just seemed to be a clear strategy.'' However, sources close to the Sussexes say Harry does not deliberately try to overshadow King Charles or Prince William and is taking their overseas visits into account when planning his own appearances.

The Times reported that Harry and Meghan have no public engagements scheduled for the next couple of weeks, allowing them to spend half-term with Archie and Lilibet, while also avoiding a clash with the King's nine-day Caribbean tour.

he definitely will take it into account.

Questions about overlapping appearances followed Harry and Meghan's visit to Nottingham on October 15th, when they supported charity projects and met well-wishers during a walkabout.

On the same day, Charles and Camilla attended the ceremonial opening of the Welsh Parliament in Cardiff, while William and Catherine made an unpublicised visit to Nantledan in Cornwall that was reported afterwards.

Harry's recent GQ interview was also published on the day senior royals welcomed the Sultan of Oman for a state visit, although a Sussex spokesman said the magazine chose the publication date.

The thing is, though, the 27-28 budget from the Welsh government was always going to be an extremely tough budget.

All the political parties knew that when you were campaigning during the Senedd elections, right? The Institute for Fiscal Studies was talking about this all the time.

So, you know, you've had time to... think about how you were going to handle that? I

thought about it a lot.

Back at the palace, William's seething sense of outrage knew no bounds.

How dare Harry and Meghan hog the limelight when Charles and Camilla were on official royal duties at the ceremonial opening of the Welsh Parliament? But if that shameless slice of minor celebrity scene stealing was atrocious, there was worse to come, much worse.

As the King, Queen, William and Catherine were welcoming the Sultan of Oman to Windsor Castle for a diplomatically important state banquet, Suddenly, footage was released of a shocking interview that Harry had given to GQ magazine.

The nation's collective jaw dropped as this 42-year-old overgrown adolescent shifted the blame for the royal split, for which he and mendacious Meg are entirely responsible...

That is why I understand the King is contemplating something very serious.

William is urging him to swing the axe on the titles.

And the reason is, is this, when they're overshadowing official royal duties, particularly a state visit or the state opening of the Welsh Parliament, then that is serious.

They can't do that.

happy about, that's for sure.

And we're also joined by Mr Grant Burmey, fresh from his visit to the Senedd with all the bigwigs.

So we're very, very grateful, Josh and I, that you can find the time to mix with us mere mortals and show the humility to do that.

So are you well, sir?

really really good event um we had a look around the ground uh i represented the evie and the bernie family which is another brick down there and the supporters club there's quite a few of the supporters club committee there um at the event and there was a team photo as well the team photo started off just the team and then with some of the major sponsors and then also all of the founders as well so everybody who turned up for the event There's a photograph with the team at the front and probably about 200 people standing behind all beaming, smiling.

So that was good.

And yeah, the other event of last week was the Ospreys hosting a discussion on the future of Welsh rugby at the Senedd as well.

Were you able to see how that went? It went really well.

So Wales have had a future generations commissioner I think for around a decade or a bit more than a decade.

There was a report from a Welsh Parliament committee that basically said it was falling short of its ambitions after that time.

Is that an inevitable outcome of something that doesn't have any teeth?

Well, I think that there's lots of opportunities for us to learn around what they didn't quite get right.

Everyone's talking maybe in their little bubbles about that.

But being in a room with people with quite different perspectives from you, and trying to come to some agreement on what should the future economy of New Zealand look like? What do we expect? What kind of environment do we want to hand down to the next generation? That would do a lot for social cohesion and unity in New Zealand and give us a goal to aim for.

Haven't you just described Parliament?

Well, I don't think the politicians are doing a very good job at finding those unifying threads.
