Royal couple marks son’s 1st birthday with charity video LONDON — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a video of Meghan reading to their son as they mark Archie’s 1st birthday and promote a campaign to help children during the coronavirus pandemic. The video shows Meghan sitting with Archie on her lap and reading one of his favorite books, “Duck! Rabbit!” Archie grabs at the pages and helps turn them during the reading. Harry, who filmed the short video, whoops and says “bravo” from behind the camera at the end. The three-minute video was posted Wednesday on the Instagram accounts of Save With Stories and Save the Children U.K. for a fundraising campaign with the goal of bringing food and learning resources to chil dren and families during the pandemic. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6,2019 at London’s Portland Hospital. His parents chose not to pose with their newborn outside the hospital, a recent tradition in Harry’s family, and decided against giving the baby a royal name. Archie had an eventful first year. He accompanied his parents on a tour of Africa and at the age of 4 months was introduced to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Harry and Meghan shocked many early this year with an announcement that they intended to quit as senior royals and split their time between Britain and North America. They couple officially stepped down from royal duties at the end of March, saying they were giving up public funding and seeking financial independence. The family went from living in a cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, to Vancouver Island in Canada and then on to Los Angeles before lockdown measures commenced. Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

I have felt the Mother’s Day guilt of wanting to make my mother and mother- in-law happy. I try to learn from mistakes or situations in the past and I like the saying “When you know better you do better.” So, I tell myself, “I know it is overwhelming for young moth ers to be pulled in many direc tions ... how can I do better with my own family?” What is the best solution for mothers of adult children with their own families? — Trying Thank you on adult daughters’ behalf for trying to lessen their emotional work loads instead of adding to them. A mother of adult children with their own families can tell them that her Moth er’s Day gift to them is an unconditional release from all obligations on Mother’s Day. Say you’d love to see them (if true), and will be happy to plan or observe it on the day of their choice, or babysit so they can have time alone, or whatever else, but you will not be a duty they have to fulfill. Re: Mother’s Day: Carolyn’s advice is great, except for one caveat: If the kids take you at your word and don’t do anything for you on Mother’s Day, then no sulking, no guilt trips, no com plaining to your friends about how rotten your kids turned out. — Anonymous Re: Mother’s Day: Please elaborate on why the mothers of grown sons and/or daughters should be providing child care on Mother’s Day. I care for my little grand ones about once a week. I also do many other things to ease my grown loved ones’ stressful times, like baking, cooking, shopping. But I’ve been feeling more and more what my adult off spring and their partners need is to recognize it is not my job as grandparent to be a babysitter. — Grandparent Grandparent: You say “should be”; the verb I used was “can. ” And I said to say they’d love to “if true.” I think that amply qualifies my answer. Re: Freeing your adult children: Don’t just free them for Mother’s Day. Do it for all the holidays. My sister was married when I was small. My wise mother explained since sis’s mother-in-law was touchy about celebrating on the actual date, we were going to have our holidays when we could all be together. She taught me that we make the holiday, not the other way around. We had Christmas as early as Thanksgiving and late as Valentine’s day. Wouldn’t you rather have a sweet phone call a week after the fact than hear, “Why didn’t you call?” So would your children. The benefits are enormous for everyone. No worries, no guilt. Let the in-laws have the actual date. I’ll take the fun. — I’ll Take the Fun Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

That’s where you come in. You pos sess an unusual talent, which you will use to help, amuse and delight others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) While it is possible to be any thing you want to be, it gener ally takes time. Meanwhile, you can dabble in whatever tone, feeling or mood you want to take on in an instant if you know the mental route to the place. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). More sunsets are caught than sunrises because a greater number of people are awake in the evening than are watch ing for the break of dawn. Get on an early tract. There’s something spectacular in it for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationships will have a feeling that is greater than the sum of their parts. Just as there’s a certain dynamic present in togetherness, there’s also a dynamic pres ent in apartness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Goal setting doesn’t always work for everyone or every situa tion. Right now it’s enough to be on a certain kind of path. Your motivation and momen tum are slowly picking up. Trust the journey. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The teacher/student relation ship is cyclical. The teacher is always learning from the student and vice versa. And yet it is important to keep the roles intact today. That’s what makes the relationship work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). In all your dealings, seek first to position yourself well. Where you are coming from matters big time. Get a firm footing and take a posture of readi ness and strength right from the beginning. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Prioritizing becomes a chal lenge when everything com ing your way seems to be a high priority. You’ll have to ask more questions to learn the truth and decide what to par ticipate in and what to skip. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being rigid with your rules only leads to frustration. Regardless of what’s bother ing you, there’s more than one solution. Stay agile and open-minded and you’ll cre ate advantageous conditions for yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) To stay calm and objective through everything that oc curs is a sign of maturity and a quality of power players. It’s also what robots do. Temper your strategic calm with great empathy and a drop of desire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One way to catch fish is to stir up the water and get them moving, jumping and showing themselves out in the open. Stay calm and scoop them up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you’re in a position of power, you don’t have to observe the protocol that oth ers do, and yet it is a sign of respect and high character to do so anyway.
