Ribena launched a new campaign to promote their brand at the time of the Platinum Jubilee. They used the non-appearance of the Sussexes on the Buckingham Palace balcony as a theme for an advertisement. They built a stage and hired lookalikes:

Sussexes in the Beano
The Beano comic occasionally features royals and celebrities. They marked the occasion of the Sussexes' wedding in 2018 with a special edition in which the Bash St. Kids cause havoc at the wedding reception:

The flying visit
There is speculation that Prince Harry will spend as little time as possible over here: he will just make a flying visit for the coronation. Maybe he will make a spectacular appearance in Westminster Abbey. "I'm back!"

Keeping us in suspense
There is a possibility that Prince Harry may not come over for Saturday's coronation after all. Nothing is definite: the story about the flying visit could be speculation. Perhaps he doesn't like being pushed to give information and prefers to make announcements in his own time. The unofficial motto of the county of Sussex may be relevant here:

Mission not accomplished
“Major disaster! I didn't manage to get any exclusive pictures or information to sell when I was in the Abbey.”

A very strange offer at the London Dungeon
There was a special offer at the London Dungeon on coronation day. The first 75 people who turned in a copy of Spare were given free entry. The copies were later given to charity shops. “A Dungeons spokesperson said: “The Royal Family and its colourful history has always been part of our attraction’s narrative, so it was important for us to honour His Majesty on the occasion of his Coronation. “And what better way than by removing all controversial and unwanted literature, keeping the streets fit for our new King!”” www.mylondon.news/whats-on/whats-on-news/london-dungeon-prince-harry-spare-26817313

Pergamon Museum update: closed for renovation truthseeker mentioned the Pergamon Museum in Berlin a while back in the context of the Sussexes' Berlin and Istanbul Soho House connections. In October 2023, the museum was completely closed to visitors. It is expected to remain mostly closed for 14 to 20 years – until 2037 to 2043 – for the execution of comprehensive renovation works. This seems rather drastic. I wonder what effect the long-term closure will have on the local shops.
