Was that the one that had the two characters, Goofus Gallant? No, wait. That was in another one popular in a lot of Pediatrician's offices called, Highlights. 

Highlights for Children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was always a big fan of  “ Goofus”.....But Of course, .

He couldn't hold  a candle to the man I practically worshipped In my youth—- the one.....the only ......Eddie Haskell !

Didn’t Daily Beast previously go by the name “Newsweek?”

according to Wikipedia, Daily Beast  and Newsweek were two separate entities that merged in 2010, and "unmerged" in 2013 when the company sold off Newsweek.

My mother has gone Home to Heaven now, but she was a big “Royalist”, as she used to say.

My mother always watched the Queen’s speech on Christmas Day.

When Prince William and Catherine were having their first child, Prince George, the TV News was outside the hospital, showing the front double doors of the hospital, whilst they all waited for some news about the birth. This went on all afternoon. My mother was glued to the TV, just watching the double doors of the hospital.

When Diana and Charles got married, I was 6. I can remember my mother sitting me in front of the TV, whilst my dad, my mother and me watched the wedding. As a souvenir, my mother bought me a basket bin for my bedroom, with a picture of the wedding on it.

After my mother went into a nursing home a few years ago, and we were having to clear out the house, we found a video cassette of Diana’s funeral from 1997, with a label on the front that my dad had written on it, “Do Not Erase!”.

wow, your mom must have been a die hard fan of the Royals!

Most of the Royals seem like nice, decent people. So what? The same could be said about my own family.    The entire   concept of putting people up on a  pedestal  because so-and-so came from a certain Bloodline is simply childish and preposterous.I applaud Harry for his efforts to get out of the limelight. He knows it was that same “ limelight” that got his Mother killed.

Why does everybody pays so much attention to Harry and Megan? It's crazy how the media get involved,why not leave this lovely couple alone and let them find their way in life? Harry lost his mother at a very young age, he most likely just want to protect his family and live their own life without people commenting and live the way they think is for them ..

as long as that IS what they want to do  They are millionaires yet they still want the taxpayers of both Britain and Canada to pay for their accommodation /protection ( that they shouldn't need of have if they are no longer part of " the firm "  ) and pay for their travel between countries  Sorry I am happy to let them live their lives out of the spotlight but NOT to pay for them to live lavish lifestyles whilst rejecting the very thing that gave them those lifestyles in the first place
