The WSJ article on PM Mark Carney contains this nugget on how the British PM worried about the King’s trip to Canada. Dealing with competing political strategies is always an issue for a monarch who is head of state of 15 nations www.wsj.com/world/europe...

One gesture of support came from King Charles III, Canada’s head of state, who symbolically planted a red maple tree in Buckingham Palace’s garden. When the king made plans to visit Canada, Starmer was nervous about provoking the U.S. president, according to officials involved in those discussions.

A good piece about the development of Senakw by the Squamish First Nation … with a notable error The New York Times cannot or will not understand the Canadian Crown. It repeatedly calls Elizabeth II or Charles III the “British monarch” They are Canadian monarchs 🇨🇦 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

The slightly more sober-minded residents of the adjoining neighborhoods registered the more traditional objections. They said Senakw was too tall and too dense. They sent protest letters to Queen Elizabeth II. (In Canada, complaints about federal land are still addressed to the British sovereign.) They sued to prevent the city from signing an agreement to provide services. None of it worked. Senakw’s special legal status protected the project.

“They chose to spell it that way to conform to the Old English style used in Canada.” I’ve *always* wondered why it’s Buffalo Sabres, not Sabers. Amazing! www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

“The response from the crowd brought me to silent tears,” said Seymour Knox IV, watching from his usual perch. “I think it was one of the highlights in the 30 years of the arena.”

Knox’s father and uncle, Seymour Knox III and Northrup Knox, co-founded the Sabres in 1970. They chose to spell it that way to conform to the Old English style used in Canada. The Knoxes also wanted both national anthems played before every home game — even if the opponent was a U.S. team — to honor Canadian players and fans.

Fifty-five years later, Sabres fans know the words to “O Canada” almost as easily as “Happy Birthday.”

Why on earth is there a car blocking the view of the King and Queen during the national anthems? Bizarre American protocol faux pas at roughly the 2 minute mark of the trip.

Former PM David Cameron on Andrew: “He was very good with all the tyrants but he started being opinionated, saying we were too squeamish about dealing with these people. His speeches would always just have three or four inappropriate things.“ www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/...

'Andrew kept turning up to things and making terrible remarks. I'd seen it myself at Davos [the World Economic Forum], where he was going to his receptions and was just a bit crass. He had his way of doing things and it wasn't what you wanted. He was very good with all the tyrants but he started being opinionated, saying we were too squeamish about dealing with these people. His speeches would always just have three or four inappropriate things.

'Unlike the rest of the royals, who were very good at knowing where to stray and where not to stray, he was straying all over the place.'
