Why 'Tall Paul' is the only aide the King trusts to sort through his mother's private diaries

Her reign was defined by choice. The late queen rarely allowed any hint of her own feelings to surface in the public realm, despite her best efforts to keep her own counsel. However, she kept a handwritten diary, which was part of a treasure chest of records at Windsor Castle that may provide a fascinating glimpse into a woman who was traditionally placed at the forefront of world events for seven decades. What secrets may be contained within them? Several of these rare papers will soon be posted into the national archives, but others, which might be too personal or too personal, will remain private under King's tight grip. Given that they could contain the late Queen's innermost thoughts, choosing which papers are private is a job that necessitates the utmost discretion. Which is why the King has entrusted the job not to a team of academic historians but rather to a retired footman who has been known in Palace corridors as 'Tall Paul' (left).

Peter Morgan described monarchy as 'insane', GUY ADAMS asks if The Crown writer has now gone too far

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 17, 2022
GUY ADAMS: Indeed, nearly all of his most popular films and television shows, which have received a sackful of Golden Globes, Baftas, and Emmys, as well as being twice nominated for an Academy, delve without permission into some people's most personal and private moments. Take The Crown, his most profitable venture, which will debut at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, early next month. Morgan neither requested nor received King Charles' consent before deciding to desecrate our entire monarchy on this so-called "fictional dramatization," which inaccurately portrays our new king as a self-serving and disloyal man. Both Charles and William were allowed to veto a number of graphic scenes depicting wholly made-up events. A particularly bad example comes from Morgan's creation of a conversation in which the late Prince of Wales tells his late mother'that if we were an ordinary family and social services came to visit, they would have taken us into care, and you [the Queen] into prison.'

Tucker Carlson hits back at woke critics calling Queen Elizabeth a 'colonizer'

Tucker Carlson struck back on Thursday at those who commemorated Queen Elizabeth's death, describing her as a "oppressor." Carlson said the British Empire was 'benign,' and that writers in the New York Times, Atlantic, and New York Magazine were incorrect to condemn her. One Pennsylvania professor even said she hoped the queen's remaining hours of pain would'be 'excruciating.' Carlson referred to them as "ghouls" and said they had been deceived. The British Empire was not perfect, but it was far more humane than any other ever,' Carlson said. It was an amazing place run by brilliant people.' Many emperors will rise as a result of history, but we will not see one so benign.'
