  1. In the US, it's the name of an iconic TV character (who'd blow a gasket knowing a quarter Black baby shared his name 😜) and an iconic comic book character (a redhead, ironically enough).

  2. It hasn't been announced what kind of cancer Charles has, just what kind he doesn't have. As far as Catherine is concerned, my only critique of how her situation was handled is that she should've followed her father-in-law's example and put out the occasional photos or videos showing her keeping up with what's going on with her charities and other groups she's involved with. I won't claim that would've stopped all the speculations and conspiracy theories, but I believe it would've kept them from spiraling as out of control as they did.

  4. Not to mention that he still holds a grudge against the media (as a whole) for the death of his mother.

  5.  @melgrant7404  That's true.

  6. @Gabriel: If you had true faith in Trump, you wouldn't have to stump for him this early.

  7. +Mr Misanthrope Rich, definitely. However, I seem to remember the press making a big deal out of Catherine's non-aristocratic background before her marriage.

  8. +Mr Misanthrope I'm not sure if there's a set-in-stone definition as to who is a commoner, but I would imagine that if you don't have a title or at least have a parent or grandparent who has one, most people who care about things like that would consider you a commoner. A suitable partner for a Royal? Looking at it from a total outsider's perspective, I would say that if the partner is expected to take up any Royal duties, some ideal qualities would be that he or she be friendly, not prone to crippling stage fright, able to think before he/she speaks extemporaneously, etc... .

  9. Wasn't that adorable? 😊

  10. A governor is elected statewide and whichever candidate has the most votes out of all the votes cast in the entire state wins. Gerrymandering has nothing to do with who wins because there aren't any such things as gubernatorial election districts to manipulate.

  11. Just like you show the world your unhealthy and disgusting soul?

  12. Everybody that uses that phrase online should be banned from posting anywhere for six months to a year.

  13. True, but they aren't using government or corporate owned electricity to keep those running.

  14. So now that the statue is down, everyone in Richmond now has a good job, lives in a nice house or apartment in a crime free neighborhood, and their children attend state-of-the-art schools, right?

  15.  @realityplatform4317  The problem is some people don't think enough.

  16. I'm sure if Meghan plans on renouncing her US citizenship, she won't do so until she actually becomes an UK citizen.

  17.  @paulgibbons2320  This wasn't the only story reported that day, I'm sure.

  18.  @fredo1070  Not that I'm a big fan of alcohol myself, but what does Trump's abstention have to do with anything?

  19. If you really believed that, instead of wasting your time clicking and commenting on this video, you would've been watching videos focusing on the environment. All you've accomplished is to encourage the BBC to upload even more videos like this.

  20. Anne Campbell  My father also uses his middle name since he's a "junior" and it avoided confusion between him and my grandfather (when he was alive).

  22. @Samantha W: Your comment is nothing but baloney sauce. If you truly believed what you're stating, you wouldn't have clicked on this video, much less made a comment.

  23. @RASCAL CITIZEN: What was inaccurate in this video?

  24. We all still need to do our best to minimize our environmental impact regardless of why the climate is changing.

  25. People don't gain weight overnight, they're not going to lose it overnight. While someone is trying to lose weight, would you rather have them walk around naked or in clothes that fit and look appropriate for the occasion?

  26. Which has what to do with Orson Welles discussing the 1938 "The War of the Worlds" radio broadcast?

  27.  @lordvader6378  I don't engage with those spammers, just report them.

  28. Although I want to see Trump out of office ASAP, I don't need him out to realize what a horrible President he has been so far.

  29. @Aurα вírdч: Proof?

  30. Although I don't think the electoral votes will be anywhere near that high, if it does end up being Trump vs. Avanetti, I would sadly predict a Trump win in 2020. That is, unless the American public finally wake up, realize that neither major party gives a flip about them, and vote in a candidate from a third party or true independent.

  31. +Christian Snow If ancestry was still very important to the British Royal Family, there's quite a few people that wouldn't have been allowed to marry into it. Mike Tindall (Zara Phillips' husband), the Duchess of Cambridge, Autumn Phillips (Peter Phillips' wife), and the Countess of Wessex are just a few I can think of off the top of my head.

  32. +Sumz 17 An Oscar winning American actress whose heyday was the early to mid 1950s. She "retired" to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. Sadly, she was killed in a car accident in 1982 when, after suffering a sudden stroke, she lost control of her vehicle on a mountain road.

  33. Did I miss something or did this piece not answer the question presented in the title?

  34. +BlueTaurianBull The UK hasn't officially exited yet. And what issues are you talking about? The surge of nationalistic populism? Actually, the Brexit referendum was a side effect of that, not the cause.

  35. +Victor Barugahare Since I have to live with Trump, metaphorically speaking, I find him more scary than hilarious. 😧

  40. +leapsplashafrog We all need to make sure our comments match the video. This video doesn't have a blessed thing to do with war.

  41. If you really believed that, you'd be spending your time watching and reading "real news" instead of this "twaddle".

  42. Why would the BBC report on what someone who hasn't been relevant since November of 2016 had to say?

  43.  @930Tony  What office is Hillary Clinton running for?

  44. I know it's not the Queen's normal practice, but I think the statement would've had more impact had she appeared on TV to say it.

  45. In other words, Sacoolas got away with killing that kid. 😠

  46. Must be to you since you chose to click and comment on this video instead of searching for a video about a politician who became irrelevant in November of 2016.

  47. Landslide? Not hardly. Take a look at the 1984 Presidential election where Reagan's 525 Electoral College votes swamped Mondale's 13. Tr--p's 312 Electoral College votes versus Harris' 226 was squeaking by in comparison.
