A team of ex-military personnel will attempt to walk across Oman at an approximate total distance of 400kms, over the course of 21 days, dragging a cart behind them all the way. Due to start on November 20th, 2020 and end on December 11th, 2020, the walk will also take the team across part of the Empty Quarter, the world’s largest sand desert, before bringing the trek to a close on Oman’s Armed Forces Day. The funds raised from the trek will support WWTW’s existing programs, supporting ex-service men and women who have struggled since they left the Armed Forces. 🐪🐪

In launching the event the Duke of Sussex stated "I am proud once again to support them and support the veterans whose courage, determination, and resilience is a credit to all of us who have served. To the men and women selected for this team, good luck! I know people all over the world will be cheering you on.”

And look at Meghan's bump. Baby No.2 is growing nicely and it appears that it won't be long before Archie's sister arrives. Was Archie off to a play date? (And in case anyone wants to bitch about the fact that Meghan is not wearing head-to-toe black, in mourning for Prince Phillip, Princess Anne was out and about this week wearing a very non-black hue called Red - just getting this in first before the trolls start) Photo as published by the New York Post
