The Windsor crown is with us for a while. I have no idea where or how I remember this factoid, but Prince William apparently has no interest in changing the crowns. They are too deeply ingrained across the Commonwealth to change easily. (While HRH Queen Elizabeth II had to change when she stepped up is beyond my pay grade.)

Canadian politicians are not and never have been interested in defence," he wrote, adding "the Canadian public cannot escape a share of the blame. Too many of our people think that all we enjoy was always there, was not fought for, will just continue, without our personal attention. We are no longer pulling our weight in international affairs. While some reasonable degree of freedom still remains for us under our form of government, we must face the fact that this freedom will soon disappear unless we exercise our rights wisely. We must take greater pains to ensure that we are well enough informed to choose wise leaders - perhaps, great leaders.
