Would they know any more than the first verse? Most people don't.

Good Grief. Well, that would certainly never happen here. Our vote of Allegiance remains but the vast majority of members of the House of Reps and the Senate are known to be republicans.

Yes, Lothwen, that would have been a good idea. However, Meghan is a foodie and interested in cuisines, so we will have to see how her series goes.

As for Harry burnout in the armed services for various reasons, is very common unfortunately, and Harry as a junior officer may well have had valuable experiences with that.

You know, if I recall, Meghan had fairly decent success with The Tig. IMO, she should have done a reality series that was basically Tig in video form. And she should have started it in 2021, when they still had a lot of goodwill towards them.

The Canadian parliament broke into God Save the King after MPs voted against removing the oath of allegiance.

The Government and most of the Liberal and Conservative MPs joined forces to vote down the private member's bill, which was supported by the Left-wing NDP and nationalist Bloc Québécois parties.

MPs voted to keep Section 128, which requires that new parliamentarians must swear to be "faithful and bear true allegiance" to the reigning monarch, by 113 votes to 197.

Greg Fergus, the speaker, repeatedly called for order but eventually gave up as the members continued, undeterred. They carried on until they reached the end of the first verse.
