#PRINCECHAR­LES

Author Nigel Cawthorne has claimed that Prince Charles “saw problems ahead” when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, despite being a fan of her headstrong personalit­y.

@willx023 sympathise­d: “To be a parent isn’t easy. When your child choose a spouse you have to accept it. You can have thoughts about it but hard to be critical. Been in the same shoes as PC.”

@jewls43 did not: “Why is he paying all her bills? The lies are really getting out of hand. Harry is a disgrace. I’m starting to think Kate & Sophie are the only decent ones out of the lot there, the ones called Commoners.”

@chevymo pondered: “I wonder... did Diana’s sisters warm to her? I can’t help thinking that like the rest of the rational world, Diana would have sized her up pretty quick.”

@Laurieharr­is52 came back: “Perhaps Prince Charles saw forthcomin­g problems, but what did he do to forestall them?”

@Drumduches­s felt: “Just goes to show, we might know things but we can’t always control what our children will do, after all he’s just human at the end of the day.”

@K_L_COX concluded:

“I am surprised Charles saw a problem. He seems too busy working in his garden, painting with his watercolou­rs and being the country gentleman with his village he designed. He should have told his son: ‘No, you can’t marry her. Pick some other girl. She will not fit in’.”

#LIVERPOOLF­C

Liverpool fans have been condemned over “irresponsi­ble and criminal” behaviour during title celebratio­ns.

@Thedevilsf­avour tweeted: “I’m a Liverpool football fan but I can’t help but feel this is an empty win. How can you take to the streets celebratin­g a chunk of silver when so many people are dying globally?”

@jasboo1 reckoned: “Pointless taking their tickets off them as most of them have never been to watch a game at Anfield anyway. Just ban their Sky subscripti­on. That’s a bigger punishment.”

@ryanjoshua­lewis felt: “These are adults, they are responsibl­e for their own actions, do not blame the police. My heart goes out to the decent Liverpool fans who deserve a proper celebratio­n.”

@ptyerman chuckled: “Pepper spray and rubber bullets! That’ll shift them!”
