So, I'm not well versed on the Royal family.

Can anyone explain to me in laymen terms what purpose they serve in modern times? Personally, I hate that every time one of those bitches gets married or has a baby, a good chunk of the media world celebrates it as if it's such a fucking big deal. I don't give a fuck about them, but why should anyone else?

Is it just a classic example of a long line of rulers based on family lineage and past accomplishments that now have nothing more than their name and an ugly castle as their claim to fame? Are their expenses paid for by the people and if so, why don't people say fuck that?!?

The Royal Family is like the Kardashians in America except the Brit taxpayers fund them.

Monarchy is part of the UK culture, history and national identity which goes back hundreds of years. It's also viewed as a source of unity and gains revenue by apparently increasing tourism. The Royals also do ambassadorial type work for the country.

For many people in the UK, and even for some in Commonwealth countries, they are viewed as something similar to Hollywood celebrities.

So their expiration is long overdue.

I know it's part of their history, but when do they realize it's completely unnecessary? The people of the UK are literally funding these people into existence. If not for their money, they would slowly disappear from the media, live out the next few generations as people of wealth and then long be forgotten.

These two cheeky sods want to have their cake and eat. They want the money, security, prestige and glamour but none of the work or being held to account. They want to pontificate about climate change but they also want the private jets and hate being criticised.

I hope they get cut off completely and actually realise how lucky they were.

Which is one of the reasons America was founded. To get away from the monarchy and the notion that the only thing you have to do to gain power over the people is to be born into. People far more qualified would never have a chance. They don't have the
political clout that they use to but they are just born into privilege that are completely financed by the tax payers, many who don't live that well.

It's such an unfair system and exploits the working class. The idea that an ordinary working stiff trying to keep body and soul together having to finance another huge family line with such an opulent life style just because.

Funniest part is that the “British Royal Family” are actually German.

Dindu Markle wants the prestige of being a princess/royalty, and the wealth, but without the expected responsibilities.

Period.

Harry is simply drunk with pussy fumes so ... whatever she wants.

There's no explanation which can make sense of working class people's devotion to these snooty layabouts. When I was in the UK I worked on the construction of the Kilburn Theater. Owing to a general ineptitude on the part of everyone involved other than myself, the place wasn't going to be completed on schedule. This had been obvious for awhile and no one seemed to care. But one day the Big News was handed down that Princess Anne was scheduled to preside over the Grand Opening.

And suddenly everybody cared. A lot. I repeatedly sought explanations why inconveniencing a Princess by delaying her attendance by a week or two was such a big deal, and all I ever got was a quizzical look and "It's Princess Anne!" Right, but she's strolling in a rose garden and nibbling petit four and not giving the slightest fuck about any of us while we're busting our asses so she doesn't have to do next Tuesday what she had planned to do this Tuesday. Again, "But it's Princess Anne!"

These sausage sandwich eating, hard drinking, football hooligans simply could not process "Fuck Princess Anne." Thet couldn't tell you why that thought was impossible because they couldn't conceive of it in order to explain its impossibility. It was odd, as if they'd all been brainwashed, and I knew for certain that I was not and never would be from the UK.

Anyway, I went to work from 10pm until 6 the next morning to patch all the Jamaican electrician team's miscut holes in the ceiling. As far as I know Princess Anne turned up a few hours later, got her important ass kissed by everyone, and found the results of our labor to be satisfactory. But I sometimes fantasize that she noticed a few ugly spots and carries the emotional pain of it with her to this day.

Democracy simply does not work in all types of countries and cultures, especially where most of the population are of low intelligence or have very little or no education.

The Greek philosophers Plato and Socrates both condemned democracy, as it allows all citizens to vote irrespective or their intelligence or education and the result is mob rule.

In Aus we have compulsory voting. What a "democratic" thing that is... Nanny state political shit hole that Australia is.

So every dumb fuck has to vote or is fined by the state.. at least in the US the dumb fucks for the most part just don't bother voting.

From the moment they moved from William I knew exactly how their relationship would pan out , she a control freak , anyone who can ghost their own father after everything he done for her , says a lot about this horrible woman.

Next step she get bored of Harry and she ditch him as soon as she establish herself back into acting hoping she get good roles , in her case it's not what you know it's who you know,, and she made sure actors like Clooney ,etc are her best buddies , the woman is very good at manipulation.

How does one just quit?   I mean, you change your name?  Move away?  It's different for people like Fergi and  Diana, who simply gave them the finger and started getting fucked by other men.  But how can a born prince just quit?

They are just stepping back not quitting.  In a few years when she divorces his ass he will go back to the throne I'm sure.  She has a "Royal child" now so she can go back to being herself while being paid big money for 18 years after a divorce.  I'm surprised the Royal Family even allowed him to marry this used up skank in the first place.

No choice, the ginger numpty has always been one sandwich short of a picnic and was too stupid to see through Meghan. His brother tried to warn him but Harry knew better and they no longer even talk. The spoilt, ginger shite can't take advice as he knows best in his shrivelled, little mind.
