I think it might be a sinecure. But I don’t mind. He is becoming self-sufficient, perhaps.
It looks to me no different from something like Gary Lineker sponsoring crisps. ♪ Nice work if you can get it, ....♪

I would agree. sometimes businesses want a "famous name" on their board to increase their profile. Bit like in London your Head Office postcode used to be important (I don't know these days).
Who had heard of the company he's now associated with but now their name in all the headlines. You can't buy that sort of publicity (except they did).

I realised after I posted that I'd missed out the hyphen. It seemed too much effort to revisit at the time although I did note the comedic potential. I also suspected that, sooner or later, someone would either correct me with humour or without.
With won!

Reuse, recycle, thus do your bit to save the planet.... Get stuff at auctions, Dump, Charity Shops, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Car Boots. Choose an Old House, and a Banger ..... And cycle as often as you can......

You might say that he has been brought up with a strong sense of entitlement.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Hi Mike, Could say "Over Inflated Sense of Entitlement"! Worst kind of nepotism at so-called work. MM

I see that Justin Welby's memories seem to differ too.
Prince Harry and Meghan had just one official ceremony says Justin Welby

It's taken him a while to remember, though.

He [Welby] might be able to convince the pubic about when they were really married but will he be able to convince Ms Markle?

New series of "The Windsors" on Netflix, watched the first one during my lunch.
Everything I know about the royals comes from that show.

Better things to do than watch an irreverent host talk to an under the thumb and his Narcissistic wife.
