Wot no Harry & Meghan thread?

[35451]

They are probably wealthy enough to live out their natural in great comfort. I find it a little unsettling to read that they wish to be financially independent by setting up their own charitable foundation. I thought charities were meant to be for the benefit of the less fortunate.

They are:

They’ll have no issue with financial independence, vacuous media chat, books etc will net countless $millions and MM could write her own pay cheque if she returned to acting. Celebrity of that grade never needs to ‘work’ as such.

I agree the UK mentality is the issue. The concept of royalty is just offensive, it stinks of oppression, plunder, murder and dictatorship to its core. I have absolutely nothing against Harry, Megan etc personally, he can’t help the charade he was born into and seems quite a decent person now he’s grown up a bit. It is the whole concept that needs addressing, it is absurd, archaic and fundamentally anti-democratic. I sincerely hope that the utterly repugnant behaviour of Andrew and the sensible retreat of Harry and Megan mark a good few steps towards obsolescence and the UK eventually becoming a full constitutional democracy with a proper bill of rights, fair electoral system etc.

Grown up? The Nazi uniforms are still there they're just not on public display at the minute.

Grown up, sheesh. That mob never grow up.

In fairness Harry isn’t related to Andrew!

Can't disagree with anything the NUJ have said. https://www.nuj.org.uk/news/journalists-should-not-need-the-royal-seal-of-approval-if/

Indeed but he's just as entitled though.

If Scotland gets independence they may be needing a monarch with the right Scottish attributes... Harry is a natural hair to the throne...

Cousin Andrew must be happy the heat is off this week!

Or is it second cousin?

Mel Gibson is hair apparent.

Mel Gibson is hair apparent.

Not ginger enough...

And no not in the rhyming slang way!

Uh? Andrew is Harry’s Uncle.

 

[35451]

Yes. I thought cousins. But you are right Harry’s dad is Charly bro.

One attribute of the Scottish is the realisation that they don't a monarch, unlike their southern neighbour.

 

[Stunsworth]

Uh? Andrew is Harry’s Uncle.

There’s a theory that Harry’s dad disagrees.

Whoosh!!

I dunno. I think Mary QoS was quite keen for a while, until they chopped her block off.

 

[vuk]

why are so many of those on PFM signalling monarchy hate such unconvincing hypocrites?

 

[Andrew C!]

Wonder if anything out there showing how much the monarchy generate in revenue compared to how much they cost. Brand GB and all that...

History is all well and good but it is something that should be learnt from not wallowed in.

I would put the heads of senior royalty on stakes in front of Windsor Castle and move on.

 

[NeilR]

The trouble is, most Brits seem to enjoy wallowing in the past.

Once you leave the country and live somewhere else, this becomes painfully obvious.
