8/ Prince Andrew would be the Regent, as the first in line, domiciled in the UK, over 21. But perhaps Prince Harry will come back in such circumstances. And if there's a risk of this when William becomes King, Parliament can consider this then.

I was in Crimea in 2014 when Russia sent troops to take over the peninsula. I meticulously documented the war they started in Ukraine in over 100 episodes & several documentaries for VICE News. Russia has been lying about its involvement from the start. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

The European Federation of Journalists is celebrating the release of "Pablo Gonzalez" and equating him with Evan Gershkovich and Vladimir Kara-Murza. This is not only ridiculous in light of the swap, it is dangerous. Gonzalez is a GRU operative whose real name is Pavel Rubtsov. He was detained by Polish intelligence in Feb. 2022.

One of the major differences between a computer and a human being is the ability to apply critical thinking to a problem.
