Okay, Can we have our first headline, please?

The headline is The queen has played a shrewd hand at this Sandringham summit.

But devils still look in the detail Shrewd, showing good judgment that leads to an advantage.

But the spelling is quite interesting because to hear the words shrewd, you're expecting that is gonna have a double o double o But it doesn't.

Okay, but it is a lovely were to say, Yeah, say one more time.

And it's to do with making judgments and decisions, really good judgments, intelligent decisions, things that really work for you.

But they're not always the obvious thing to do, or it's not always the emotional thing to d'oh!

A shrewd decision is a decision that you really thought carefully about, and it's gonna work for you so you might have a difficult judgment to make you think about it.

You make a choice and It turns out that that was actually the best thing that you could have done in that situation, because you really thought about it was a really good decision is a shrewd decision.

So the queen, for example, could have said, You're not going, I won't have it or she could have so go.

She really thought it through this headline saying, and she really made a clever decision.

Oh, you you were shrewd to make that move.

Okay, so let's take a look at our second headline now, please.

And it's another opinion piece as hurry and Meghan are finding out the Royals don't do progresses progressive, modern and encouraging change.

Now I could see the would progress in there.

It absolutely is everything to do with that word progress or progress.

The full spelling is P R O G R E double s I V E e progressive and the stress is on the dress, progressive for aggressive jaggery.

It's a very, very short sound, like a progressive.

It's to do with changes to do with doing things differently in particular, modernizing on the word progressive.

You would be better off in a conservative school on.

Of course, this article is claiming that the Royals don't do progressive, so it's saying so.

Now this is not to be confused with the political party, the Conservative Party.

If you are a conservative with a small C, it's a kind of opposite of progressive.

You like to do things the traditional way.

You're not so keen on change, or you don't like to take too many risks.

So the opposite of progressive in many ways could be called conservative.
