Somebody stop me before I Karen.  Our local weather girl, who, I hasten to add, is accurate, pleasant to look at and has a nice speaking voice, has been referring to 21 December as the winter equinox for the past two weeks.  It's been like fingernails on a chalk board.  If I call in a correction that it is the winter solstice, not an equinox, I come off as a Karen.  If I don't correct her, I'll feel like a schlump for not stepping up.   Maybe she will correct herself and I won't have to have an OCD meltdown.  Best case scenario, someone else will call in a correction.  Otherwise, until December 21st, it's SCREEECH.

You might send her this link, https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-a-solstice-and-an-equinox She may not know, the difference between the two.  

He was only created Duke of Sussex on the day of his marriage, 19 May 2018, before that he was plain Prince Henry "Harry" of Wales and she just (Rachel) Meghan Markle. 

That's what I thought. William & Kate are now The Prince & Princess of Wales, did that happen after the Queen passed & Charles & Camilla moved up so their titles were passed on to the next in line?

Not quite. The second that the Queen died Prince Charles became King. William thus became Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, the only titles that are automatically held by the eldest son of the Monarch. The title is Prince of Wales was bestowed the following day, it is not automatic.

King Charles was Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay the instant his mother became Queen in 1952, he was not created Prince of Wales until 1958. 

Harry and Meghan are still Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and will remain so unless they chose to relinquish their titles as they can under the Peerage Act 1963. There is no law at the moment that allows the Monarch to strip them of those titles. Some have mentioned the Titles Deprivation Act of 1917 as a means by which they can have their titles taken away. However the Act is so worded that a person can only be deprived of their title if they have "borne arms against His Majesty, or have adhered to His Majesty's enemies" neither of which apply in Prince Harry's case. Four Lords were stripped of their titles in 1919 for allying with Germany during the war.

It would require a new law or a revision of the current one to deprive him of his Royal titles.  

Sir Alan Frederick Lascelles (for some reason known as Tommy) was knighted by King George whilst they were on a visit to Canada and the USA in 1939. In fact he was formally knighted on board the train travelling between Niagara and Washington.

I kind of like the Sir Tommy title but I suppose it was Sir Alan.

Boloney Tommy. No different that the States for surgery appointments to be a bit backed up but when I phone my Doctors office I'm seen the same day or the next if it's late in the day. Was just in the other day getting the final staple removed and had a physical at the same time. Said it was the best specimen of mankind he had seen in years. My town not only has many Doctors to chose from, but it also has a lot of walk in Clinics.

Don't you wish you had the same good healthcare system Canada does Tommy? The best part is not having to pay to see a doctor or surgeon. You will never see it with a Republican Government in power, so eat your heart out Cinderella.

Why do you bother listing to that local crap Mein Liebling. Watch CNN because if you miss the rain, snow, outside temperature, hurricanes or tornados, you can see it again in the next hour.

Do they still have that station called the naked news where the weather girl is giving the weather naked? I never did remember was the weather was suppose to be like in my area.

We had a couple inches of snow but the next day it melted a bit and turned the roads into glare ice that night when the temperature dropped. They are fast here to brim the highways ahead of time if they know we are getting snow. Also in town they usually have the streets and sidewalks down before people have to leave for work in the morning. Minus 2C here right now. Going down to minus 6C tonight.

Today is the last day of our cold spell. It got down to -17C in Scotland, where I live it was a low of about -8C and no more than 1C during the day. Mild air heading up tonight which will push temperatures into double figures tomorrow.

Yepper, "free" doctors often give misdiagnosis Pete & that is why Canucks flee to Buffalo for treatment.

Do you think Canadian Doctors work for nothing Tommy? They are free to us but they are paid though our healthcare plan. Canadian Shoppers don't even go to Buffalo anymore because they can get it just as cheep in Canada especially right now. The only ones seeking medical treatment in Beeffalo are Americans who live and work in Canada.

Your cases of Covid, and the Flu are right off the charts and that one hitting the young ones isn't doing much better. You have a lousy healthcare system mainly being held back by the Republicans. We have far less cases by percent that America has and most provinces have already peaked with the Flu. Canadians aren't afraid to get vaccinated and that's what has kept our numbers down. Good healthcare isn't a privilege, it's a right in any Democracy.
