No, the reason could have been that for once in her life, as she was escorted down the hotel’s marble steps and waved off into her Bentley, all eyes and, indeed, camera lenses were not focused solely on her.

But why would they, when her protector and chaperone, 54–year-old David Morgan-Hewitt, looked so arresting with his blue gingham shirt, cerise tie, bespoke double-breasted suit, flamboyant silk handkerchief and, er, larger-than-life physical presence?

Indeed, the minute pictures were published of the teeny Queen and enormous but impeccably dressed David on the pavement, chatting and smiling, then bidding farewell, the internet carried a stream of comments and endless wonderment.

Just read something in the guardian that the EU would like to open negotiations about allowing under 30-year olds the same freedom of movement as before brexit.

Genious move, we will steal all your capable youths, let the olds rot on hell island and then recolonize with EU friendly people when they are dead.

But that would mean that we'd have to suffer the indognities of seeing a Polski Sklep and tory doners wouldn't be able to run visa scams for indentured workers from the Philippines.

Looking at economic projections, their kids would want to move back to Poland for higher wages anyway.

I've said it before but childcare costs in the UK scare me

e: I remember reading about a teacher on BBC who literally spends all of her salary on childcare and they live on her partners income

e2: different article but honestly it's crazy

BBC posted:

The UK is the third most expensive place for childcare among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), behind Switzerland and New Zealand.

The OECD figures are based on a family with two children, aged two and three, who attend nursery for at least 40 hours a week, and take into account available state support.
...

Nathalie, from Peasedown St John in Somerset, said she is worried her family is in a "never-ending cycle of debt" because of childcare costs.

The 33-year-old and her husband are struggling with the upfront costs of putting their son in nursery while they both work.

Nathalie is unable to claim the Flexible Support Fund payment because she and her husband are both in work.

"If you don't have savings, it is basically impossible to do," she said.

The Department for Work and Pensions said, because the couple both work, this disqualified them from receiving advance childcare payments.

...

Joeli Brearley, founder of charity Pregnant Then Screwed, said parents were experiencing a "cost of working crisis".

"The cost of childcare is now so prohibitive that many families who use it are paying to go to work.

and suffice to say, your average Brit doesn't earn anywhere near what the Swiss do, which is around £60k or so
