Lack of honour and loyalty in these Royal revelations WEBCHAT
Shops and hairdressers in Wales prepare for green light to open on Monday
SINCE time began, mankind has always experienced betrayal. The betrayer is always able to justify themselves, using reasoning that plays their case well.
Judas betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver, Delilah betrayed Samson, spies betray their country.
The broadcast by a member of the Royal Family, a person who should know the privilege of rank, duty, honour and loyalty, is to my mind a self indulgent, petulant display of a person who has finally had their toys taken away for not playing in accordance with established rules.
We hear that privacy is of utmost importance, yet in a tell-all (or pretty much it seems) TV interview sold for broadcast to the world, that privacy clearly has a price tag.
So, someone questioned him (a person who thought it OK to wear Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party) over his relatively early decision to marry. Is it any wonder the question was posed when previous poor decision making was evident? I think many who read this will probably have had the same experience with their family asking “are you sure you’re not being too hasty?”.
Is it true that an unnamed person made a comment about the colour of any baby? If so, do we not often hear normal people like you and I saying “gosh that couple could make beautiful babies (and the implication of colour mix is not derogatory).
The main question the Royals need to respond to is: which adviser failed to put a non-disclosure agreement in the Megxit agreement?
And I wonder if Meghan’s ex will be silenced from commenting – surely he could make a load of money out of this royal circus.
My soon to be sister-in-law made me cry on my wedding day: I think that is a comment many families may have experienced, not necessarily for bad reasons and, no mention before the big TV reveal.
It is probably wrong of me, but I feel people in such privileged positions should not be allowed to sell their stories in this way. John Pidgeon Victoria Park, Cardiff

Horse racing is animal slavery
THE pictures of the trainer sitting on a dead horse have caused some controversy. The authorities have considered the matter, and have come to consider what to do, this is a decision for them.
I am not a horse racing fan – in my opinion if the Grand National was not run any more, I think it would be good for the horses.
My research would suggest that 84 horses have died taking on the Aintree course. In 2018, 201 horses lost their lives, in all the races as far as I am aware.
A racehorse needs to drink 10 gallons of water a day. The racehorses can race at two years, and retire at four years, some can go on longer. A horse can live for 20 to 30 years, and sometimes longer.
Horse racing is animal slavery. It is good when they are rehomed, good blood stock is used for breeding, but some end up in abattoirs, and end up as pet food. Since 1980, a dozen jockeys have died, eight over jumps and four on the flat.
The RSPCA believes the racing industry needs to do more to adopt responsible breeding practices, including reducing the number of racehorses bred, minimising the risk of injury, and for every horse to be provided with a suitable alternative role on retirement with provisions being made to ensure their longterm welfare.

Shops and hairdressers opening but not allowing all children to return to school full time! WG said returning children back to full time education was their priority... CLEARLY NOT !!!!
Del Maynard
Ridiculous ! Can’t meet anyone in a garden yet and my 13 year old can only go to school for 1 day before Easter but we can all go shopping ! Welsh Government need to get their priorities right ! I hope they have a rethink before Monday !
Name in here
No guidance has been given whatsoever. As a hair salon owner we don’t know if we’re able to open or not, we will probably be given two days’ notice to arrange three months’ worth of appointments, sort childcare and stock! It’s ridiculous!
No guidance has been given!! I’m in beauty and have heard nothing about dates!!
Leanne Sage
Why, when the stay local rule is five miles, meaning people can’t get there to use them. Ridiculous. Nicola Broadhurst
Not before time, now give hospitality a date to work towards also! For the people saying too soon feel free to stay locked away.
Simon Ward
How can shops open when my year 6 child hasn’t even had confirmation of going back to school yet?
Louise Mullins
Before schools go back properly! How ridiculous! We can get our hair done, browse around non-essential shops but a large proportion of school children will still be off school. So much for children being back in full-time education being a priority! Totally incompetent Welsh government. Rachael Morris
Opening non-essential and hairdressers – great, except we can’t get to them cause of the five-mile rule.
Ruth Morgan
So shops and retailers will open but we’ll be told to stay local and have the pathetic five-mile rule brought back in. Yep, that makes wonderful sense.
Mark Jones
Really hope folk can get their businesses back open and get their lives back on track. Hollie Cooper
Yesssssssss. I’m in need of a Primark shop to buy 20 thongs for a pound.
Would be nice not rushing to have my haircut though, might leave it until the rush dies down.
