Rumor of the Day

Or should I say “rumour”? There’s a rumor going around, presumably in humor (or should I say “humour”?) although you never can tell these days, that the engagement of Britain’s Prince Harry to American actress Meghan Markle is a plot on the part of ERII to regain control of the American colonies.

The scenario goes something like this. Ms. Markle becomes a British citizen and marries Harry. The Brits push aside the present Prince of Wales, Harry’s brother, William, and William’s children and Harry becomes the British monarch.

As a native-born American Ms. Markle is eligible to run for president. She does and is elected. Voila! The British monarchy and American presidency in one neat package.

I am no longer prepared to say that anything is too unlikely to happen.
