Meghan has support from Harry's inner circle

There has been a lot of Meghan Markle bashing in the past week after she debuted her Archetype Podcast but not everyone is critiquing the Duchess of Sussex. Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras a polo pal of Prince Harry had some really nice things to say about Markle. According to The Daily Mail Figueras could not stop "gushing" about the Royal couple and said of regarding Harry "Meghan makes an 'amazing teammate' for him off the pitch."

Figueras, 45, is an Argentine polo player, actor, and model. He is also a longtime friend of the Duke of Sussex who competed alongside him on Thursday in Colorado at the Sentebale Polo Cup. In a previous video, he said Harry and Meghan are trying to make the world a beer place and they should be appreciated rather than criticized. Figueras also said he would defend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with his life.

Figueras has spent a lot of time with the Royal couple

According to PEOPLE, the polo pal said he spent a lot of time with the Duke and Duchess in recent months and was also on Harry's team at the Santa Barbara Polo Club . He said "seeing them be a lovely family,' which Harry 'always wanted,' made him so 'happy' and that they have now 'bonded more than they ever have before."

Much of what has been said and written about the Sussexes is hearsay, innuendo, and from alleged Royal sources, defenders of the crown, and tabloids that are clearly against the pair. I's refreshing to hear from an insider who has spent time with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and is giving first-hand information. Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras has been married to Delfina Blaquier a former model and photographer since 2004 and they have four children.

Will the Pawpaw or Pomelo become the favorite fruit in Virginia?

Virginia is known for its delicious apples and I know people who believe watermelon is king in these parts but when it comes to an official State fruit in the Commonwealth there is none. Some Virginians, however, believe the pawpaw should be the top banana or rather the number one fruit, and a bill HB592 is sitting on Capitol Hill waiting for legislators to make the pawpaw Virginia's premiere fruit.

Specific quotes of Queen Elizabeth II a woman of strong faith and principles

Over the decades I have listened to people say that the royals put on a show of pomp and circumstance, duty, and religious activities and no one knew how they really felt. One member of the royal family, Queen Elizabeth II let the world know that her faith was real. She was outspoken in her beliefs and lived what she preached and I don't recall anyone ever questioning her sincerity about Jesus Christ. Christian faith is strong in Virginia which is an unofficial part of the Bible belt States so her words may give comfort to like-minded people in the state where she spent the most time when in the US.

Flipping houses hurts the least of these among us

An older couple retired couple whose family I have known for 45 years was forced to move last December. I was told they had been in their home for 42 years but were renters. Their landlord died and his children decided to sell the house. The new landlord refused to renew their release and they had 60 days to find somewhere else to live. Spending 4 decades in one home and abruptly having to look for a new one had got to be traumatizing but it was done. I have been told this takes place across the state as well as the US.

Downtown Vinton is at a crossroads due to a 2022 fire

On my last excursion to Downtown Roanoke, I wanted to cry because of what once was. As a little girl holding my grandmother's hand, I was fascinated by the tall buildings and the businesses that were inside. Memories came back as I passed familiar locations that now are empty or house something new. Downtown Vinton may cause a similar reaction now that 4 to 7 buildings might be demolished because of a 2022 fire.
