Like yesterday’s post concerning how is a Queen Consort is refered to, I will look at how a Princess of Wales is addressed.
Princess of Wales (Welsh: Tywysoges Cymru) is a courtesy title first held by the wife of a native Prince of Wales. Since the 14th century, it has been used by the wife of the heir apparent to the English and later British throne. The current title-holder is Catherine, wife of William, Prince of Wales.
From 1301 onward, the eldest sons of the Kings of England (and later Great Britain and the United Kingdom) have generally been created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, and their wives have been titled Princess of Wales.

I know that looking back on history with a retrospective view always comes with a 20/20 vision, nevertheless it is important to understand that it was widely know what was happening to the Jewish population in Europe throughout World War 2. Too often I have heard the argument that no one knew until after the war. There were regular reports issued to the governments of the allied forces and to newspapers.
The picture above is a cutting from the Daily Worker newspaper of an open letter – also published in the Times – by well-known figures appealing for action against the mistreatment of Jews in Europe. It was issued in February 1943.

Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power

Claims that wind and solar are cheap, simply don’t add up. Glaring examples such as Germany, Denmark and South Australia tell the tale.
Like night follows day, add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid, and power prices are bound to spiral out of control.
California led America in the race to wreck its power grid with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. As a result, power prices are rocketing, with Californians paying the highest rates in the US, by a country mile. But, as the subsidised wind and solar cancer spreads across the United States, consumers are starting to understand the truly crippling cost of their ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition.
As John Hinderaker points out below, with millions of Americans faced with power bills that they simply cannot pay, something has to give.
