Look. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Harry has a problem with his family then he needs to persuade the French to fund him, raise an army, invade and seize the crown.

What else was Brexit for, if not to restore traditional British approaches and values?

QUESTION FOR THE EXPERTS: If the French back a Harry-led invasion and seizure of the crown, then he reasserts his right to the French throne, reverse invades and restores the French monarchy in a personal union with the British one...

...does that get us back into the EU?

@garius I've argued semi-seriously for a while that the UK and France should unite. Politically tricky but would have a lot of good outcomes.

Not least being that it would probably give Reform voters a seizure.

So yeah - the sooner the better!
