The Crown 1x08 – It's a Real Royal Knockout

One of the most human and relatable storylines in The Crown was based on an actual royal showdown between the real Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

The royal couple's argy-bargy was said to have occurred during their Australian tour in 1954, as reported by The Crown’s historian Robert Lacey.

Their row was allegedly caught on camera. According to author Ingrid Seward, a TV crew were secretly filming the chalet where the Queen and her husband were staying.

As shown in the episode, any footage of their argument is unlikely to exist. The film clip was handed over to the Queen, for which she thanked the crew personally.

A Very Royal Scandal, reviews

A Very Royal Scandal review: Rises above Scoop with a more thoughtful take

[...]

The question is, and certainly should be, does it measure up in its own right, as both a piece of drama and an exploration of this period in recent history?

However, because of Scoop's success earlier this year, there is also another question out there, one I'm sure the team behind would prefer wasn't the centre of attention - how do the two compare?

On this front, A Very Royal Scandal actually comes out favourably, as the superior telling of this story. While Scoop was ably performed and highly watchable, it also felt somewhat surface-level - an adaptation which failed to get under the skin of its characters, or examine the events it was depicting.

The grand total of Scoop's exploration was seemingly an assertion of the power of journalism - a perfectly fine assessment, but not particularly surprising or noteworthy. A large amount of that film's intrigue came from its picture-perfect recreations of real-life individuals, images and videos, particularly the interview itself.

A Very Royal Scandal, on the other hand, partly by dint of its extended runtime, is more interested in both the inner lives of its two central figures, Maitlis and Andrew, as well as the limitations of journalism, and the wider impact of a one-hour, on-camera conversation.

It tells its story across three episodes, and three distinct chapters. The first focuses on the build-up to the interview, much as Scoop did. It feels fairly familiar.

The second focuses primarily on the interview itself and the surrounding days. Again, not dissimilar to the Netflix film.

The third is where this show deviates, as it follows its central figures in the days, weeks, months and indeed years following the interview.

This third episode is by far and away the strongest, in part because it's traversing new terrain, but also because of the complexity of its discussion.

In focusing in on the lives of Andrew, Maitlis and others after the interview, it isn't afraid to examine the downsides, as well as the up. It isn't simply a celebratory lap around for Wilson's Maitlis, nor is Sheen's Andrew villainised.

Instead, the duo both, in their own ways, struggle to come to terms with exactly what has happened, or how they should feel about it.

In truth, that is the case throughout the series, even in between the more mocking and satirical scenes, pricking Sheen's Andrew's pomposity. There is an emotional rawness to the characters, and an interest in the personal, beyond the professional or political, which was largely lacking in Netflix's version.

The cast are unsurprisingly impressive. Sheen does a typically assured job as Prince Andrew, getting laughs when he needs to, provoking outrage when it is called for and appearing a tragic figure, all without externally making a call on his motivations, truths or untruths.

It's a role that Sewell excelled in and brought to life effectively in Scoop, but the additional runtime affords Sheen and the writers the opportunity to delve more into the character's psyche and his relationships with those around him. [...]

A Very Royal Scandal (2024) Review: A Royal’s Fall from Grace

Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson give two knockout performances that are buried under convoluted character development and a refusal to definitely cast a character in an entirely good or entirely bad light which ultimately leaves them in no man’s land rather than paints them as complex beings. While Maitlis was an executive producer on the show, the series could have greatly benefitted from the inclusion of more female collaborators to tell a story that relies so heavily on the power of women using their voices.

A Very Royal Scandal TV review — Prince Andrew’s excruciating interview revisited once more

[...] The floundering interviewee is played by the chameleonic Michael Sheen in an inversion of his role as the interviewer in Frost/Nixon. Ruth Wilson is as formidable but notably less frosty as the Newsnight griller-in-chief Emily Maitlis (an executive producer here) than Gillian Anderson in Scoop. And while some scenes play out almost exactly as before — not least the reenacted interview — a shift in focus from Newsnight guest booker Sam McAlister to Maitlis herself here gives a richer sense of being in the extraordinary position of having the power to challenge a prince. [...]

Is Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson's new real-life drama worth a watch?

[...] Meanwhile, Michael Sheen is no stranger to inhabiting the pores of actual people – let alone those in the whirlpool of a royal scandal. But without much more than a grey hairpiece to transform him into the now-disgraced duke, you could initially mistake the man having staff tie his laces for a haughtier Aziraphale. [...]

A Very Royal Scandal on Prime Video review: I'd crawl over harsh terrain to watch Ruth Wilson and Michael Sheen – this felt like I had

I’d crawl over harsh terrain to see Sheen and Wilson in just about anything. After AVRS I felt I had. His chameleonic power seems muted, while her attempt to capture Maitlis’s grave diction makes the broadcaster sound glutinously smug. There are nice turns from Joanna Scanlan as Andrew’s hapless secretary Amanda Thirsk and a bouncy Claire Rushbrook as Fergie. As factotum Sir Edward Young, Alex Jennings is so dry you fear he’ll blow away.

A Very Royal Scandal Is an Actor’s Showcase that Interrogates Media’s Most Famous Train Wreck

[...] Wilson’s portrayal of Maitlis focuses on the tensions between the hard-hitting journalist and the real person: her genuine desire to hold the powerful to account, her struggles to be taken seriously in a man’s world despite all her professional success, her attempt to balance her marriage and family with a career in the public eye. But her performance is a generally restrained one. Sheen has a bit more freedom in his interpretation of the prince, given that much of the show’s assumptions about Andrew’s relationships and state of mind are made up out of whole cloth, and he navigates a delicate balance of fact and fiction throughout. 

His portrayal of Andrew is perhaps more thoughtful than the man himself truly deserves, as Sheen presents the disgraced royal as almost laughably out of touch and fully oblivious in the way that only the very rich and extremely well-connected can ever really manage. Having never faced anything like consequences or accountability for his actions, Sheen’s Andrew often seems genuinely startled to discover that he could, and even his most delusional statements—such as claiming he can’t sweat or that there’s no way he could be expected to remember every woman he’s been with, sexually speaking—are made with the sort of absolute belief that only comes from spending an entire life never once being told you’re wrong. 

It’s a performance that is often difficult to watch for all the right reasons, if only because Sheen makes it so easy to see how this self-involved, self-interested man has sailed through life considering nothing but his own desires and never, ever paying for the consequences of his choices. He finds genuine bits of humanity in Andrew’s relationship with his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, as well as his obsessive insecurity about his place within the hierarchy of the royal family. It’s not a sympathetic portrayal, by any stretch, but it is a surprisingly layered one. 

Where Scoop often comes across as cheerleading for the practice of journalism in general and as it’s practiced at the BBC specifically, A Very Royal Scandal opts for a more thoughtful approach, asking what, if any, good this interview actually did. [...]

Joy of Life Episode 15 and 16 liveblogging

This is my first watch, so don't tell me secrets ;)

This massacre just doesn't feel like a crown prince move? 🤔🤔

Going back to the reason they were on Cow Street... Are they going to figure out that Si Lili is a northern qing agent?

Looks like me and ML are on the same page..?

Yeah I remember when she burned her cover earlier. Damn ur bro died because you trusted a mysterious stranger who you knew to be a good liar, able to defeat knockout drugs, and not a real courtesan. In retrospect, not a good look. Idiotic forced romance misunderstandings are the mind killer.

Now he's gonna hire crooked map seller as his subordinate... we'll see how that goes.

I suppose I better learn his name: Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian!

We got a backhug! Very romance.

Dad shows up for him at the bridge.

The horses are imperial army. This is stirring up my carefully repressed conspiracy theory that ML's a Secret Royal.

Ok so.... Those guards are from the emperor's personal army. And who is The Bureau Head? Do we know??? He and Dad had "not an ordinary friendship". (also the english subs are using "he" but I don't see 他 used in the Mandarin subs? I guess I'll just presume the subbers know more than me)

Fan Daddy and the Emperor are super interesting together. This is the closest to anyone who's been able to go toe to toe with the emperor. For a moment they almost walked side by side (still dad a step behind). Here we finally see how he could have captured the heart (or at least the friendship?) of the iconic woman ML' mom is reported to be.

I'm actually the most interested about the emperor's relationship with Marvolous Mom. Were they frenemies? besties? lovers? comrades in arms? She was so larger than life, I can't believe she didn't mean SOMETHING to him. Did she have a hand in the shaping of the foundation of his rule, 16+ years ago? 🤔

Lord Zhu is also tracking Si Lili. Hope you help the cause instead of fucking the chase up

lololololol crap maps strike again!

This plan is awful. ... oh good, ML agrees

Ok, she's disappearing! But WHERE???

This is all very exciting! I hope they catch her! Go team go!

Finally he gets to use his poison skills again \o/

Episode 16

Is there anything that Wang Qinian doesn't know?! He may be the most powerful master in the land 👑

"When I met Si Lili for the first time, I drugged her." "Lord, is this a good addiction?" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm enjoying the ridiculousness of this chase. Reminds me of the circular "if you suspect that I suspect that you would have suspected..." battle of wits from The Princess Bride

There she is!

Now she's asking the question I have - how is luring him here gonna put him in peril?

ah, naturally an ambush! So how will she be defeated?

...soliders? Did he send a carrier pigeon?

The Black Knights belong to the head... Who is the head?????? Uncle Wu? Grandma?

Chen Pingping?? The king of assassins. If I should already know who this is, you're laughing at me right now.

He's using the public display offense again

Royal Princess has a 1 track mind. Come on, CP! I'm (sort of) rooting for you. Not in the power struggle, but to have your own ambitions and get out from under your wacked aunt's thumb. She's lost perspective & she's not on your side, just her own.

ML is very smart but even if she tells him something, why believe it

I don't trust this water

Don't trust her ML!! This is not Arkham Asylum catch & release

Wang Qinain works for Chen Pingping, right? The way he was fishing was super suspicious.

Yan Ruohai keeps having to save ML's ass, how tragic for him

'I thought you were going to save me?' Si Lili, girl are you for real?! He offered to save you IF you cooperated and you didn't.

Why do I feel like ML doesn't trust Wang Qinain as much as he pretends to?

Sister Ruoruo visiting the Crown Prince? What's the deal there? She's promising to join his team... Why? Like me does she suspect that he's chasing after Fan Xian as a deluded compulsion, like a dog after an ambulance..? So she thinks if she explains his moves the CP will realize he's not a real threat? Or is she trying to spy on him? Or.. she really just wants to hedge her bets? 🤔

UGH the fact that 🍗 just gives these weak ass little protests to her mom and brother but doesn't fight for the guy she clearly likes. Not even manipulative tears! sigh. Just crumbles like a paper bag. She and ML are cute when they're alone but perhaps her personality is just not my cup of tea.

The person 🍗's bestie saw is also the person that is coming to interrogate Si Lili.... Right?????

“I often wonder why Prince Edward is so liked by people. I mean the man has no real achievements. He got a place at an acclaimed university despite terrible grades because he was a royal. He tried and failed at being a marine and yet he continues wearing the uniform. His terrible production company was shutdown and valued at just 40 pounds, and lets not talk about “a royal knockout”. Even his Caribbean tour got virtually zero media coverage. The man has failed in every aspect of life and yet when he got the dukedom, the media said “he DESERVED it”. at least Charles set up a successful charity.” - Submitted by Anonymous

The Relative Vigor Index (RVI) and BTC/USD: The Secret Weapon Traders Overlook Why Most Traders Ignore RVI (And Why That’s a Huge Mistake) Imagine walking into a poker game where everyone’s obsessed with one player’s face while ignoring the subtle twitches of another player revealing a royal flush. That’s exactly what’s happening in the BTC/USD trading world—everyone fixates on RSI, MACD, or Bollinger Bands, while the Relative Vigor Index (RVI) lurks in the background, quietly handing out winning signals to those who bother to notice. What Is the Relative Vigor Index (RVI) and Why Should You Care? The Relative Vigor Index (RVI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the conviction behind a price move. It’s like detecting the real energy behind a punch—are we talking about a lazy slap or a full-blown knockout? Unlike the RSI, which focuses on overbought and oversold conditions, the RVI captures the force behind a trend, making it an invaluable tool for Bitcoin traders. BTC/USD is known for its wild swings and chaotic volatility, but the RVI helps bring clarity to the madness. Unlike conventional indicators that simply react to price action, the RVI reveals the strength of a trend before the price moves, making it a game-changer for Bitcoin traders. How the RVI Works: The Science Behind the Magic The Relative Vigor Index (RVI) is calculated using the following formula:   This calculation is then smoothed using a moving average to filter out noise, giving traders a clean and clear picture of market conviction. Key Features of RVI: - Momentum Measurement: Unlike traditional indicators that lag behind, the RVI captures the real “vigor” behind price action. - Crossovers with Signal Line: A bullish signal occurs when the RVI crosses above its signal line, while a bearish signal is triggered when it crosses below. - Confirming Other Indicators: When used with RSI or MACD, the RVI can filter out false signals and add a layer of confirmation to your trades. How to Use RVI for BTC/USD Trading Like a Pro Now that we know what the Relative Vigor Index does, let’s talk about how to apply it like a hedge fund-level ninja. 1. The Hidden Bullish Divergence Strategy How It Works: - When BTC/USD price is making lower lows, but RVI is making higher lows, it signals that the downtrend is losing strength and a reversal is coming. - This setup is perfect for swing traders who want to catch the next Bitcoin breakout before it happens. Example: - Suppose BTC/USD is crashing like a rogue rollercoaster, but the RVI is quietly creeping upwards—this is your cue to get in before the next surge. 2. RVI + Bollinger Bands: The Ultimate Confluence Play How It Works: - If BTC/USD touches the lower Bollinger Band while the RVI crosses above its signal line, it’s a high-probability buy signal. - Conversely, if Bitcoin is at the upper Bollinger Band and RVI crosses downward, get ready to short it like a pro. Why It Works: - This strategy filters out fake breakouts and ensures you only trade when both volatility and conviction align. 3. The Reversal Confirmation Trick How It Works: - Use RVI as a confirmation tool for trend reversals. - If Bitcoin is breaking out, but RVI remains flat, the move is likely weak and unsustainable. - If RVI explodes in the same direction as price, that’s your green light to enter with confidence. Case Study: RVI’s Role in Predicting BTC/USD’s Biggest Moves Let’s rewind to March 2023, when Bitcoin surged from $20,000 to $30,000 in just a few weeks. - The RVI flashed a bullish crossover before the breakout, signaling strong momentum behind the move. - Traders who caught this early signal could have entered before the mainstream hype and locked in massive gains. Common Mistakes Traders Make with RVI (And How to Avoid Them) - Using RVI in Isolation – Always combine it with other indicators like Bollinger Bands, RSI, or MACD to filter out weak signals. - Ignoring Divergences – RVI divergences often precede major reversals, so pay attention when price and RVI move in opposite directions. - Overtrading Every Signal – Not every RVI crossover is tradable. Look for confluence with support/resistance levels before pulling the trigger. Final Thoughts: Is the RVI Your Secret Trading Weapon? For traders willing to go beyond the obvious, the Relative Vigor Index offers a powerful, often-overlooked edge. Whether you’re trading BTC/USD breakouts, reversals, or trend confirmations, RVI can help separate real momentum from fake moves, allowing you to trade smarter and outmaneuver the crowd.

Jake Paul enjoys a first-round knockout in return bout in Orlando

Jake Paul knocks out Andre August in the first-round

Orlando, Fla. - At the Caribe Royale Resort, the man people love to hate, Jake Paul (8-1, 5 KOs), returned to the squared circle in front of a sold-out crowd. The famous social media influencer entertained his loyal fans in attendance, dancing to the ring to Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.' Right behind him, there was a giant robot humanoid waving to the crowd.

But this turned out to be just the appetizer as Paul delivered another stunning knockout inside the ring.

Paul's opponent, Andre August (10-2-1, 5 KOs), is a three-time Golden Gloves champion, and the Houston, Texas native is the second boxer Paul has faced. August wasn't a former mixed martial artist, fellow YouTube star, or a former NBA player. He has been a professional boxer since 2013. Although almost ten years older than Paul at 35, August was thought to be able to at least test the loquacious star's skillset, however long the fight lasted.

Unfortunately for August, but to the excitement of the crowd in attendance, Paul secured a highlight-reel first-round knockout. After a tense few minutes, filled with counter-punching and jab exchanges, Paul picked up on August's tendency to duck before throwing. A feint by Paul set up a right uppercut that firmly put August down for the count. No count was needed.

Paul's previous knockout came in December 2021 in a rematch with Tyron Woodley at the Amalie Arena in Tampa. Since then, he has gone the distance against the likes of Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tommy Fury. August was likely picked for a reason, and the victory shouldn't be overly celebrated. However, Paul is showing steady improvements with each outing, and a title opportunity could come sooner than later.

"Man, I don't know what I proved tonight," Paul expressed in the ring during the post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani. "I'm just gonna do me. This is all part of the process, the next step to world champion. And clearly these guys can't hang with me. He didn't even last [three] minutes. He's been doing this his whole entire life. So, what's next? It's gonna be even bigger."

Paul is one of the few fighters in the sport who is able to navigate the direction his career takes. His fights can be purely events or real showdowns that test where he lies within his respective division should he choose. With a majority of boxing's top fighters, including box office attractions and the pound-for-pound elite, fighting just once or twice a year at the most, Paul staying active is only to the benefit of the sport.

Franchon Crews-Dezurn wins the vacant WBC super middleweight championship

In the night’s co-main event, Shadasia Green (13-1, 11 KOs) battled former undisputed super middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurnn (9-2, 2 KOs). The bout was for the vacant WBC super middleweight title. Green came out to wrestling legend The Undertaker’s theme music but did not fight with a sense of urgency. Crews-Dezurn used her championship-level experience to outwork Green in most of the rounds. The Baltimore native was an underdog against Green, who was considered the bigger puncher.

All three judges scored the fight for Crews-Dezurn with scores of 98-92 and 97-93 twice.

Gratitude 30-04-2023

Grateful for having the opportunity to go to the Daman beach and enjoy the beauty of it. The beautiful sunset, the waves flowing, people enjoying camel & horse rides, engaging in some water sports. What a day it was, My nephew, Reyansh made the most of it. I did my meditation sitting on the boundary of the waves. Too good and beautiful of a day. We also went to Haldiram's Vapi where I had the yummy Raj Khachori, mother had Dahi Puri, sis had Veg Momos whereas Reyansh had French Fries. The beauty of nature, beaches, mountains is immense, and we just have to be very much grateful to have that opportunity. I consider myself to be so much lucky, blessed and grateful. Today, I played FIFA 22 on PS5 manager mode, where I am managing Real Madrid CF. We sit at the top of the table in LaLiga and through to the knockout rounds in UCL. I also washed my Crocs, did meditation, had grapes, mango shake, now writing this gratitude journal, wathcing my beloved Rajasthan Royals where Jaiswal is on a carnage. What a day already, will be having dinner and then venture out for a run/ walk/ cycling. Also will lift weights in some time from now. Come on man, let's go, vamos & siuuuuuuu!!

1 V 1 Research

The reason i am making my game a 1v1 is for multiple reasons first the 1v1 creates a balanced and truly fair environment for the fight to take place with no extra stimulus to alter the fight such as third partying, a common practice in battle royale games where a third party will get involved in a 1 (team) v 1 (team) fight and cleaning up the already injured participants catching them off guard. This creates a natural unfairness in the playing field as one team gets the edge of surprise while the others are stuck in the middle giving this strategy not much skill to accomplish. So the 1v1 environment allows for more reliance on skill and talent with the game. Another reason I chose it was because it is one of the oldest formats to date with games like boxing and chess it really allows you to breakdown an opponent.

Gladiator

In comparison to the depictions we see in fiction gladiators were always random enslaved death fighting but instead more volunteering people looking for local stardom, like a sport today. This doesn't mean gladiators didn't die, they would constantly fight with actual weaponry against fierce opponents which could range from large animals to convicted criminals, which usually resulted in a gladiatorial death every 5-10 bouts.

Additionally the thumbs down thing wasn't that well interpreted and no one knows exactly what it meant as many believe that the thumbs up could've been the sign for execution of the slave.

Spartacus was the most famous and deadly gladiator with him also leading a slave revolution after being one himself and being forced through gladiatorial school.

Smaller Examples and real-life examples

Chess

Chess is one of the oldest and most abstract strategy game with thousands of ways to play and win. The game is one of the biggest and most intellectual games regarded around the world. The game is a one on one game where you move peices in differnt directions and capturing eachothers prices by moving on to the same space as theirs. The ultimate goal is checkmate which is to trap your opponents king in an inescapable situation.

Boxing

Boxing is a physical fighting sport that has 2 opponents facing off at each other to see who can knockout (or knockdown long enough) with only using their fists covered by protective gloves with only allowing shots to the torso and head.

Card Games

Card Games are one of the most ancient forms of games with tones of variations of ways to play with a lot of the being 1v1 duels.

Gin rummy is probably the most famous card game out there with it mostly being played in a 1v1 situation. To play you shuffle the deck and deal each person 7 cards and your goal is to get groups of either 4,3 or 7 made up of sets and or runs. Sets are a collection of the same face cards so for example 4 kings and runs are cards that are in an order but of the same suit e.g 4,5,6,7 of hearts. You assemble these hands by either taking one card off the deck and swap it out with a card in your hand or do the same with the top of the discard pile.

Gulag - COD

Within warzone, Call of Duty's Battle Royale game mode, their is a minigame that let's you respawn if you die. You are given a minimalist loadout with 1 weapon an 2 pieces of ordnance to kill your enemy with, if however you take too long a juggernaut will come into kill you and you both can win by killing him.

Penalty Shootout

A football ultimatum, the penalty shootout happens if after 120 minutes of regular football and added extra time of play has still resulted in a draw they decide it with the best of 5 penalties. Each team takes 5 pens one after each other where they are not allowed to touch the ball more than once if after the 5 penalties the teams are still tied it goes to a sudden death.

Titles

Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat originally developed in 1992 is a multi-media fighting and martial arts franchise consisting of 3 movies, 11 main line games and 4 spin off games. The main point of the original game was a 1v1 best of 3 fighting game that had you face of against a varsity of characters with different move sets, finishers and personality. The game however is not a desirable concept to me as it is set on the 2d plane and i want my project to utilise movement a lot on the 3d plane.

Street Fighter

Street fighter, the famous Capcom franchise, initially released its first game to arcade machines in 1987 with a pretty similar premise to Mortal Kombat (it came first). Now with the 6th game in the series releasing in 2023 the name has became a gaming staple with it receiving a 1994 movie adaptation.

Smash Bros

Smash bros is a game consisting of the a lot of the characters owned by multi-media franchise Nintendo. The most recent one being the vastest one to date, "Ultimate" Released in 2018 with 76 base characters and received consistent DLCs up to 89 characters.

It is another 2d fighter however it adds an element of platforming into it with the fighting stage navigate able vertically as well allowing a lot more movement paths and tactics to happen also in comparison to the last 2 games it has a lot more attacks and moves that you can perform to knock your opponent off of the stage. Each player as three lives and their can be up to 8 players so last standing wins.

King of Fighters

A game franchise initially developed and released in 1994 the games are practically identical to other games in the genre basic sets of moves like kicks, punches and blocks with a large ability to do tons of damage. The games however released each year in similar fashion to EA sports games but they were for arcade so it didn't do it for recurring purchase but instead more like updating. In 04' they stopped their main platform being these arcade cabinets and moved to consoles like ps2 and "Atomiswave" (SNKs version of the dream cast). It then ceased yearly releases in 2010 with its 13th iteration and moved to what looks like releasing an iteration every 6 years with 14 coming in 2016 and 15 in 2022.

Nidhogg

A unique fighting game in comparison to other 2d games on this list it consist of 2 players fencing and attempting to reach the opponents side of the map when you they're killed. You kill your opponent by simply hitting them once also in the move set you can block, disarm and jump. The game is a much more simple and face paced versions of other 2d fighters and incorporates a little of platformer games (like smash bros) to add some vertical to it as well.

1v1  can be set up in a more professional manner which encourage a more intelligent fighting style instead of a more chaotic nature of a multi player free for all. This chaos is something that doesn’t align with what I want for my game. I feel it is more rewarding when you fight and win against an individual opponent, while mastering a skill set.

PLATELL'S PEOPLE:

Encountering the smiling teenager working the tills or up to her elbows in compost potting plants, customers would have had no idea she was 16th in line to the throne.

Yet the girl at the garden centre was none other than Lady Louise Windsor, the unassuming daughter of Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex.

Since finishing her A-levels in June, she has been working there for the teenage minimum wage of £6.83 an hour, not just getting her hands dirty, but learning what it’s like to be in the real world, with real people, earning her own money.

How refreshing to see a royal mixing with us ordinary folk. As one person she served said: ‘It’s not every day you buy your begonias off a royal.’

Yes, Louise’s work experience may be temporary, but what a breath of fresh air that she’s not behaving like a pampered princess — did I mention Beatrice and Eugenie? — and is instead doing what any sensible teenager should in her summer holidays.

She’s been encouraged to take the summer job, no doubt, by her down-to-earth parents. Ever since Harry and Megs stomped off, Edward and Sophie have taken on more duties and risen up the royal ladder.

Yet they don’t seek headlines or court controversy. They perform their royal work quietly and without fuss, just as Princess Anne has done for her entire life.

It’s not always been the case, of course. Edward was pilloried for his disastrous It’s a Knockout in the 1980s, while Sophie had to resign from her PR firm in 2001 after she made rude comments about royals and politicians to an undercover reporter.

Yet they redeemed themselves through hard graft and a sense of duty. And now they’re teaching their daughter to do what so many parents wish their teenagers would do: get off their lazy behinds (and smartphones) and get a job.

It’s what we all did in my generation. Aged 15 in Western Australia, I worked weekends and holidays at the local supermarket and was promoted to the checkout, one month winning the ‘fastest check-out chick in the west’ award.

I’d make all young royals spend time working in the real world. What an invaluable experience it would be for them to learn about mucking in.

Louise gives us hope after years of workshy royals.

My one and for now only semi-farfetched theory about RotT

SPOILERS FROM THE TEASER TRAILER OF RISE OF THE TITANS!!!

If you've rewatched 3Below as much as me you probably remember this moment:

Now, I know Fialkov is no more as much as the queen... but so we thought about Angor Roth (who died, like, twice) and Morgana before Wizards, so... who knows? 😅

And while I do doubt that Krel's arc, even if done right, will cover that much of the movie considering how many protagonists we have, I still think there are a few unresolved matters left with the parents. Like how Fialkov didn't give Krel the appreciation he deserved for his inventions, or how they showed multiple times with Voltar and Vex' family that they weren't exactly the best rulers ever 🤔🤔

The Arcane Order has already showed that they can revive someone no problem. If (again very big IF, this is more something I would like rather than something I really think could happen 🤣) they actually did that with the king and queen, they would get two Akiridions that lost most of their memories since they used them to protect their children in The Big Sleep. Considering that their past doesn't seem something particularly glorious (thank you Vex), they might even have a regression to a time in which they were merciless and cruel. And even if that didn't happen they might not remember their kids or not know better 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

A confrontation with their kids might be very interesting I think, especially since the king and queen were wrong about lots of stuff:

Coranda wanted Aja to accept her royal status and stop running away, while our warrior princess had a major adventure on another planet (even if not exactly willingly) only to take the throne at HER own conditions, no one else's... and yes I did sob at seeing her all dressed up as a queen in the trailer why do you ask 😭😭😭💙💙💙

Fialkov wanted Krel to focus on his duties as a prince and push away his "fine hobby". A hobby that has managed to save his life and his wife's, the Earth, the universe and so on, and that without including that little detail about breaking the laws of physics and invent a wormhole generator (me? Salty about my tech son not getting the recognition he deserves from his dad? Pff, whaaat, no way... 😠😠😠). At the end Krel stayed away from the crown after finding real friends and managed once again to help everyone with his intellect in Wizards (me? Proud of every SEKTON of my tech son on the screen to the point you bet I'm gonna scream the moment I see him in July? Pff, whaaat, no way... 😍😍😍😍😍😍).

In this scene of Terra Incognita Fialkov states that one day Krel might best him into duel. I know he probably wanted to pull his leg a little considering what he adds later, but I would be impressed if this was a foreshadowing of some sort. That would be an interesting fight, especially since Krel is notorious for being not that much of a warrior (our knockout baby 😅😅) But he is insanely smart, I would love to see him find a brilliant way to victory using his mind instead of his weapon, having with that some closure and realizing that despite everything, staying truth to himself has always been the right choice 👍👍

This is just an idea of what might be Krel's arc in the movie, given that we don't know how long it will be and what exactly these titans will bring 🤷‍♀️ I had this theory since 3Below ended, I just wanted to put it out for the time being 😊

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go think about the fact that it's only May and the movie is still very far, excuse me 😢😢
