Mourning period of Queen Elizabeth II is over and Prince Charles is the heir apparent to the throne. Accordingly, the website of the Royal Family has been restructured. Prince William is now The Prince of Wales and will become the next king after King Charles. Hence, his picture appears just after The King and Queen Consort Camilla. The picture of Kate Middleton, The Princess of Wales, is below that of Prince William. As far as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are concerned, they still have a place in the British Royal Family’s website but right down the list. Even now, they continue to be working members of the family but their images are below everyone else. Prince Harry, Meghan Markle get ‘lowest place’ in Royal family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had resigned from their positions in January 2020. They were forced to take the seat directly behind Princess Anne. However, with King Charles III taking the throne, Harry and Meghan are now directly seated on top of Prince Andrew. They have hardly ever been seen in Britain since the infamous "Megxit." The two of them now live in California and returned to the UK after the demise of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8. It seems a book lists a number of fresh scandals involving the couple. The book goes on to say that once his nephew Prince George attains the age of 18, Harry could fade into obscurity. Moreover, the book makes a mention of Harry's long-held worry about being an "also-ran." Incidentally, soon after Charles became The King, his message to the couple via television was - “Today, I also want to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.” He does have a soft corner for them but Prince William was furious at their decision to quit from Royal responsibilities.

How about a cup that cheers, how about a cup of tea
The cup of tea acts as real energy boosters. People take it to remain awake late into the night as you wait for your train to rumble into the station or gulp down a cup of warm liquid that goes by the name of ‘chai’ in the early hours of the morning when the vendors in the trains pass off leftovers as fresh stuff. The warm stuff they dole out does remove the drowsiness but it is a momentary relief – it seldom leaves an impression.
The first activity after waking up in the morning is to welcome the new day with a cup that cheers – sand that is the cup of tea. When in meetings, the tea comes a pleasant diversion to lighten the seriousness. It imparts an additional dose of energy to tired brains during those never ending meetings.
On a larger scale, the tea stalls that one encounters at street corners, lanes and by-lanes in West Bengal are believed to be the breeding grounds of politicians and poets. Those who frequent these tea stalls keep track of all the going-ons and scandals in the neighborhood – like the boy who came home drunk to the girl who eloped with her boyfriend.
And - the growing popularity of tea led to ad agencies creating those wonderful ad-spots to promote ads on TV – popular cine stars lip the one liners to express the power of the magical hot drink. Simultaneously, innovations take place – one such is the tea bag that has given rise to the ‘dip and sip’ culture. This began as a new concept for the elite class but had now come down to the level of the common man – vendors in trains have stopped serving readymade tea, instead they serve hot water and pouches of tea bags and sugar.
