The people on X asking Where's Kate, claiming sources say Kate is in a coma, and pushing the Rose story with a new storyline that sources say Camillia is working to bring Rose to the forefront - Are hateful, cruel people.

Interesting that things were quiet for awhile until the Archewell "delinquent" status made the news.

How 43% Nigerian Ethnicity Estimate is possible

I am sharing Ancestry Ethnicity Estimates for my parents, myself and 2 sisters and information from Ancestry explaining Ethnicity DNA estimates.

8 Regions Mom Dad Sis1 Me Sis2

Scotland 17% 23% 13% 40% 28%

England/NW Europe 18% 5% 46% 23% 48%

Sweden/Denmark 9% 6% 5% 15% 0%

Wales 1% 8% 18% 9% 5%

Germanic Europe 5% 0% 9% 5% 7%

Ireland 0% 4% 3% 4% 5%

Norway 0% 3% 5% 3% 5%

Nigeria 0% 1% 0% 1% 0%

Congo 0% 0% 0% 0% 2%

DNA is passed down randomly Each parent passed down half of their DNA to you. This means that there’s a half of their DNA that you didn’t inherit. Inheriting half of a parent’s DNA doesn’t mean inheriting half of each ethnicity. The DNA you inherit is random. One or both parents may have ethnicities that they didn’t end up passing down to you–or they may have passed down only a small portion of a region they have.

If you have a great-great-grandparent who’s 100% Japanese, you might expect to have 1/16th (about 6%) Japanese ethnicity. But that won’t necessarily be the case.Most of your great-great-grandparent’s DNA was not passed down to you. This is because from your great-great grandparent’s generation down to you, you inherited DNA from 15 other people too. And since the DNA you receive is random, you don’t inherit a neat 50% of each ethnicity. There are some ethnicities you may not inherit from them at all. This is why you can have ancestors who came from regions you may not have DNA ethnicities from.

Estimating ethnicity regions To discover where you come from, we compare your DNA to the DNA of people with known origins from around the world. These people are our reference panel. Our reference panel has over 71,306 DNA samples from people with deep regional roots and documented family trees. We survey your DNA at over 700,000 locations and look at how much DNA you share with people from the reference panel in each ethnicity region.

Neighboring Regions often share DNA Over the last thousand years, there have been times when some groups of people were isolated from other populations. Isolation gives populations a chance to develop a unique genetic signature.

When individuals from previously separated populations have children together, they share DNA in what we call admixture. As populations admix, they become more difficult to tell apart using genetics. If your family comes from a population with a history of admixture, your percentages for some ethnicity regions may be different than you expect.

Populations living near geographic borders are often admixed—sometimes to a large degree. For example: we find that even people with deep family roots in Portugal still have about 12% of their DNA that matches most closely to people in our reference panel with deep family roots in Spain

The number of DNA samples in Ancestry's reference panel for my family's ethnicity estimates

Scotland 1737 England/NW Europe 2291 Sweden/Denmark 1289 Wales 880 Germanic Europe 3408 Ireland 755 Norway 829 Nigeria 587 Nigera-East Central 461 Cameroon,Congo, W Bantu Peoples 502

(I am including Nigeria-East Central because we do not know what region of Nigera MM is claiming to be from)

Ancestry periodically updates their Ethnicity estimates. My Sis1 and I did not show Nigeria in our ethnicity until this last update. I used to have 2% Congo in mine like Sis2. My other estimates may have changed a few percentage points per region between my first estimate 8 years ago and now but the ranking of % amount did not change.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

[brightlotusmoon]

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

“The also could have had a better Crisis manager who was able to handle something like this as well. But also, look at the same time it was something they never anticipated in dealing with at this time of their lives.”

I’m not sure a crisis manager could’ve done much.

It’s likely that the Prince & Princess of Wales did not know that testing of whatever had been removed during abdominal surgery was cancerous when Catherine left hospital at the end of January.

When the tests came back there were probably subsequent tests to confirm. These each take time.

There are conflicting reports that the cancer was confirmed on the day of King Constantine memorial service.

That is three weeks ago. 

The media pile on began the moment William missed that memorial service which was not even an official event. It was then compounded by the tragic death of Mr Thomas Kingston that could not have been foreseen. 

Under a month is a tiny amount of time to come to terms with such medical diagnosis as a young family with three very young children.

What on earth could a crisis manager have done? 

Yes yes to all of what you said.

But I still look at those stupid grainy lens photos that were managed to be taken of her and then put out as if it was a reassurance "she's OK" and then the PR fluff pieces of that she was taking the kids on school runs etc.

Or video of her at a market shopping.

If anything it just made it worse with certain individuals on twitter. That it was a lie all of it that William was a child who hated his Dad.

Its amazing how many people felt that William and Catherine needed to be so pubic without a care and each time they did it backfired.

And also the vile Squad needed to be stopped LONG ago not now that mainstream finally picked up just how vile they all truly are to Catherine especially. People can say some of us are crazy but this was pure Meghan here no matter if she didn't have a hand in it they did it in her honor like the crazy cult members they are at all times.

I truly fear at times for Catherine and her children from them.

---------

p/s I see a follower mentioned her video on friday and that was perfect AND yes it was but for some they still are with either "too little too late OR its AI generated".

Also, we can still debate this but in a way its a cry over spilled milk and we can say its a learned experience in how to deal with such shit in the future.

Timing is everything... the Markles strike like a snake

Catherine is recovering until March, Charles is in treatment until March( (?) and William is with his family during the children's half-term break. The Royal news cycle will be a bit quiet for their top members and the Harkles are taking full advantage.

Last week, Harry flies to the UK for a minutes long meeting with Charles

Over the weekend, the Markles announce the joint trip to the UK for the IG after Harry's trip to see Charles - why didn't Harry visit Charles during the IG trip and save some $ . So much for concern about carbon footprints and the environment

Today they release their website..

Article about Meghan cooking with Afghanistan women released today.

Next week they are in Canada.

All of these events could be arranged in the time they learned about Catherine's recovery time and the King's diagnosis/treatment.

This is the Harkles attempt to appear healthier, younger and grab as much royal fairy dust as they can.

Meghan Markle claims TWO 'royal racists' spoke about Archie's skin

Omid Scobie's new book Endgame claims that Meghan named two members of the Royal Household who allegedly asked questions about Archie's skin

Meghan Markle told King Charles there are TWO 'royal racists' who spoke about her son Archie's skin colour - and Harry asked his father: 'Don't you want to see your grandchildren any more?', according to explosive new book by Omid Scobie

[lattedahlattedah]

Why would MM need to tell Charles there are TWO if Charles was one of them ??

[1solone]

Just so you know...😢 It’s called the long goodbye. Rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are and become less themselves.

Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink or talk to their loved ones.

There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia or Alzheimer's has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia or Alzheimer's.

In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like to see at least 5 of my friends put this on their timeline.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'll settle for at least 1

Thanks!!

This is a video of our pool taken at 8:21 last night. The blue pool lights are electric and on a timer set to go off at 1:00 a.m. The white lights on the deck are solar lights and obviously not dim like the batteries were going dead. It was not raining or windy. I don't understand what is going on.

Title me in charge

Two largely unseen and unknown children based in the USA are now officially titled Prince and Princess. (Not to be confused with musical genius Prince or the sons of Michael Jackson named Prince or even ‘Lady’ Gaga or ‘Dr.’ Dre (he can’t actually treat your ingrown good toenail, folks). Not even to be confused with  Duchess Katie Price’s daughter, ‘Princess’.

The new Prince and Princess, Archie and Lillibet, the children of Harry and Meghan, do have the added bonus though, of being in the line of succession for the British throne.

There is currently much heated debate going on across social media as to why and how these two kids have the titles. I’m not getting into that.

I want to look at another aspect of the story.

The titles were not announced by Buckingham Palace, nor has there been any official congratulatory message. Instead, the story broke in a cheap US tabloid called People. This magazine repeatedly and pointedly still calls the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton. It had access to the five friends of Meghan Markle in that long-running saga about the letter to her father that ended in a court case. They broke this story of Lillibet’s christening and the Markles’ intention to use royal titles. People mag, one can assume, has its sources.

The British media seemed taken by surprise by the story. All those who claim to have a direct hotline to the palace had given no hint of this story breaking.

So, what did the palace have to say?

A nameless, faceless Palace spokesman responded pretty quickly, saying that the Royal website would be updated accordingly. It was a confirmation of sorts that the story was true. But some found it all rather tacky; the stuff of cheap celebrity gossip not the workings of a powerful monarchy. Why was a tabloid breaking the story? Why was the palace having to confirm a story about the serious business of conferring titles rather than officially announcing it?

Unfortunately, this has become par for the course. The palace, increasingly finds itself having to react to Harry and Meghan, rather than being proactive and setting the tone for a story.

This allows for the mainstream media to run a narrative that the palace is constantly “blindsided “, “taken unawares “, “baffled” – thereby giving the impression of a monarchy that is unprepared, on the back foot and not in charge. The palace does little to counter this narrative.

Dignified silence in the face of vulgar, classless attacks is, generally, a good thing. Playing the long game and checkmating a stupid opponent is, generally, a good thing. Ultimately, Harry and Megan are an irritating insect buzz amidst the orchestra of the 1000 year old Monarchy. However, we are in the era of social media and slick PR.

Meghan Markle was never a Hollywood star. The peak of her acting career was to be a supporting actress on a cable show filmed in Canada. However, she has learnt some savvy PR moves over the years. She uses strong words such as racism, suicide, pain and now ‘birthright’ when she throws her grenades. People understands these words – even if they are used with no evidence to back them.

The palace response to these attacks is usually muted, opaque and seemingly half-hearted. A faceless, nameless spokesman, sounding like an older version of the aristocratic Harry Enfield character ‘Nice but dim’ gets wheeled out to answer the latest assault. He gives the impression of being unprepared, as if he’s been pulled away from the drawing room where he was enjoying port and billiards to comment on some ghastly matter concerning the ‘help’.

“Erm, yes, golly,” he mumbles, “the duchess (always with the title) seems, er, somewhat disingenuous in saying……”

Forget it. You’ve lost the audience already. No one knows what the heck ‘disingenuous’ means. And no one cares either. These spokesmen come across as if they still think they’re explaining the palace position to a few Telegraph reading Colonels. They’re not. The world is now a village run by WiFi and simple soundbites. People expect a firm rebuttal. They want this endless, exhausting, cheap drama brought to a halt. Otherwise, even a minor, irrelevant story can fester for days on end, sometimes weeks, with the media endlessly picking over the carcass of it because it’s easier to sit at a keyboard and speculate about a non story than go out and break an actual one.

King Charles is far more popular than the media would have you believe. You only have to see the large crowds that he and Queen Camilla attract when they go out to meet the public. The Prince and Princess of Wales are Royal rockstars, with a huge fan base. This enormous popularity and respect is something politicians and celebrities would kill for. It’s something Harry and Meghan crave and would give their right eye to replicate. It’s what they assumed they would automatically get in the USA because of his background and his titles. Instead, they got the brilliant Southpark with its cutting episode about a ‘dumb prince and his stupid wife‘.

The searing episode which aired two weeks ago, skewers a balding, red haired, prince promoting his book entitled ‘Waaagh’, who allows himself to be wound up by his complaining wife, to such an extent that he goes out and makes an arse of himself on the world stage defending her by exposing his frozen penis. The non royal wife, who, very pointedly, has no title, because she is entirely reliant on the prince’s royal status for relevance, is depicted as inappropriately dressed, with unkempt hair and who, when her head is lifted off her shoulders, is discovered to be hollow and empty inside.

Empty vessels make the most noise?

The Royal family has to be more effective in dismissing this noise as an irrelevance and thereby make better use of its own unparalleled popularity and standing. A more more internet savvy media response team would enhance that standing. They don’t need to respond to every attention seeking jibe but when the need arises, they need to be able to nip a story in the bud, swiftly and effectively, leaving no room for rumour and conjecture.

[lattedahlattedah]

I was mistaken Meghan has won - with the help of the majority of people across all social media. Her prize was not the children having titles - her prize was social media being flooded with disparging remarks about the King.   No one posting on social media knows what King Charles was advised to do about the titles by the  BP law office or his Parliment but the majority are calling Charles weak and sometimes treasonous.   It does not seem to matter that the titles were most likely automatic as soon as Charles became King. It does not seem to matter that if the titles were automatic then it would appear heartless for Charles to strip the titles from his grandchildren that have not uttered one word against his majesty - not to mention those that would accuse Charles of being racist if he did strip the titles from the children.    Meghan won..because the majority think Charles is weak and they will think less and less of him the more Meghan gloats and papwalks.  

What some fail to realize is that the more Charles is disparaged and called weak the more harm those statments are having on all the working royals and the more Meghan wins.  

You can be sure the media is watching all the chatter on social media and will be churning out the click bait articles..using the key words “it is understood, most likely, sources say, spokesperson states, etc etc”     The Sussex brand just got a huge boost not because the children have titles but all thanks to those hating on Charles.

I mean no disrespect to the Queen..but with her knowledge of what a Constitutional Monarch can and cannot do, her knowledge of the LOS and how titles are bestowed and with her knowledge of her own son and grandson’s personalities - if the Queen believed the children having titles would put the Crown at risk and Charles would be too weak to address the matter then why didn’t she issue a Letters Patent when Meghan 1st announced her pregnancy or when Archie was born ?  

[lattedahlattedah]

Prince Edward

If Charles does not announce Edward as Duke of Edinborough on Edward’s birthday I will be very upset.  

[lattedahlattedah]

It’s all in the name ?

(Info on William and Harry’s names for christening from New York Times archives)

The newest addition to Britain's royal family, swaddled in a 19th-century lace gown in his young mother's arms, was christened William Arthur Philip Louis at Buckingham Palace today - his great-grandmother's 82d birthday.

Prince Harry was actually christened Henry Charles Albert David

"I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."

So is her christened name “Princess Lilibet” or is she being referred to as “Princess” Lilibet in the press release ? 

[lattedahlattedah]

Princess ?

1) A christined name is not a legal name. Lilibet’s legal name on her birth certificate does not contain the name Princess - of course they can petition the courts to change the name but at the moment they have not announced they have done that.  

2) Will Archie be rechrisitined as Prince Archie ? 

3) BP has said they will respect the Harkles choice to use Princess...what does that mean exaclty - in what capacity ?  officially - or on the few occasions BP mentions any of the Harkles in official statements ?  Will they immediately update the website that still has the Harkles listed as working royals ?  Will the update officially move the Harkles to the non working status - overseas royals ? 

4) the Harkles usually pull a stunt like this when they have lost something big.   Is this move to counter the backlash from Spare and South Park ?  Or did something happen behind the scenes and this is their slap back ?  

5) Is Charles weak or is Charles following the laws of the UK and US despite public sentiment as a leader should ?    Both the U.S. and the U.K. have Freedom of Speech.   King Charles has no legal standing in the U.S. to have stopped the Harkles from using Princess as part of the christined name.  He has no legal standing in the U.S.  to stop the Harkles from saying pretty much anything they want - which the Harkles have ran with that way past the point of having diarhea of the mouth. I hate the Harkle press releases but I would hate the ammuninution they would have against BP if their freedom of speech was squashed. 

Lilibet being christined Princess is nothing more than a PR headache for the BRF.. and is much less troublesome/damaging than when the Harkles branded the BRF as racist.   Everyone wants Charles to act but what exactly is he supposed to do ?   He cannot strip Harry of his birthright without causing some damage and giving the anti-monarchists ammunition to use against the very mechanism of birthright making Charles King.   He could issues Letters Patent and remove Harry from the line of succession but that borders on stripping Harry of his birthright and sets up dangerous precedent for future monarchs to take actions for the Crown based on personal, family matters.  Harry has said trecheous things as a  spoiled, and apparently mentally ill person would do but has Harry’s actions crossed the legal definition of treason ?  

I know my  opnion matters not in the UK but in my opinon , Charles is behaving exactly as a leader should.  He cannot and should not restrict someone’s freedom of speech no matter how hateful someone’s words and actions might be.    He should not  rule based on his own emotions due to having a pain in the ass son and daughter-in law.  He should not rule based on public sentiment towards a temper tantrum throwing Duke and Duchess. I know he serves at the pleasure of the people but even if he did/could  strip them of their titles and face endless backlash and racism accusations the Harlkles would still not go away and be quiet.   I believe Charles serves his people best by officially treating the Harkles as the overseas royals they are.. and as the relatives you don’t want to invite to family functions but to avoid an even bigger issue you invite them.  

Besides the nausautaing articles about Princess Lilibet - my main thought is so what ?   There are an estimated 5,897 girls in the U.S. with the legal first name of Princess.  

[lattedahlattedah]

Don’t fall so quickly for the articles about Andrew trying to rehab his image or for Charles wanting Harry at the coronation. I could be wrong but this appears to be a one sided PR war launched simultaneously by the Sussex duo and Andrew to weaken Charles.

We have seeing these types of articles from the Sussex and York camps for years now. Always with the same objectives - demand what they want and to attack/weaken William or Charles or to drive a wedge between William and Charles.

I won’t believe Charles is doing a sit down interview to clear the air unless there is a televised interview.

Regarding posts I have made and read about psyliycybin(magic mushrooms) and Ayahuasca being illegal in the U.S.  Upon further research ...

 Psilycybin is decriminalized in Santa Cruz, Ca. 

Ayahuasca is partially decriminalized/otherwise illegal, besides religious exemptions

In Colorado, both have been legal for persons over 21 since Nov. 2022
