incandescent with rage




     Weird.

     A few days ago some (probably questionable) news report said that Prince Charles and Prince William were "incandescent with rage" over Harry and Meghan's decision to move to Canada.

     It seemed like such an unusual phrase, I thought it must have been invented for this occasion.  But if you Google incandescent with rage, other items unrelated to Harry-Meghan pop up, so apparently that's an expression -- I just hadn't heard it before.


     There's a New York Times headline:

Opinion | Incandescent With Rage

...it's dated July 27, 2016.

     So -- this word-arrangement was not coined just in the past week....

^^   It's funny how a lot of Daily Mail haters wished Meghan would go away and now they are getting their wish and they and Pier Morgan are apoplectic!

Well played, Sussexes, well played.




^^   this is all a smokescreen to get Andrew out of the news.



^^   As with most things, I don't understand any of this.

(LOL - last one is my favorite...)


Diana, Princess of Wales; Prince Harry; Prince William

     Having my attention called to the British Royal Family gave me the idea to check out "The Crown" on Netflix.  

     Boy, it's good.

     President and Mrs. Kennedy visit in one episode:  at first I thought, these actors don't look like them -- however -- they had the accents down pat.
