That visit and the associated details (eg transport) highlight so much that is wrong with our society and why we won't be fixing it. One must wonder how & why his expensive advisors didn't stop the visit happening or at least changed it so it wouldn't seem so naive with the current challenges facing the planet.

Something I'd never appreciated and to me beggars belief

Stop shielding UK royals from parliamentary scrutiny, says Labour peer
Rules banning scrutiny of the royal family in parliament must be changed in light of the continuing scandals about Prince Andrew, a Labour peer has said.

... parliament’s standing orders and Erskine May, the authority on parliamentary procedure, prevent discussion of the monarchy and of any matters that reflect on the sovereign or royal family.

Particularly when so many promises seem to be broken eg
King Charles and royals fail to reveal official gifts for past four years – despite promise to do so

Parlimentary ettiquette. Yiou can still call politicians liars, just indirectly eg

"Half the members opposite are liars"
"Take that back!"
"Half the members opposite are not liars"​
