How differently might this case have worked out had the girl been British rather than American? Imagine some pressure may have been applied.

Support for diversity, equality, inclusion, green issues, anti racism and all the other 'woke' middle and higher class fantasies and ideologies that identify the 'woke' are all on easy display from both Charles, William and Ginger....it's a joke, the monarchy wouldn't even exist if those ideologies were followed.

Even the Queen compared this generation with the war generation in terms of greatness....not woke perhaps but total bullsh1t.

I detest the royal family and actively try to avoid coverage of them, so I can't say I'm familiar with any comments on those issues.

'Greatness' is a very vague term particularly when comparing generationally - what made someone great 100 years ago is very different to now.

Not necessarily - "On this day (Feb 16th) Howard Carter opened the inner burial chamber of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb and finds the sarcophagus" - wait that was in 1923, only 99 years ago, my apologies.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I use to be an ardent monarchist....back in the days.

While I don't think think most in that family are bad people - charity work for example. I do think they are products of their time. Over time I've come to realise that the Monarchy are just a support chorus for whatever time they exist in mimicking the culture. It's just another institution that will say anything and pretty much do anything to stay in place.

Instead of using the tax payers money to get out of the charge and borrowing someone else’s helicopter to get to golf. Well, lesson learned there then.

Money from his small estate, sale of his chalet in Verbier and from Queen from her duchy income.

Nothing from taxpayer unless you know otherwise.

I wonder if she will actually get anything.

I would kick the can down the road and give her nothing.

Right. His estate, chalet and duchy income so it’s not like he hasn’t worked hard for it.

I don't disagree, but think of the sort of s***e who would be elected head of state? In that context, a largely figurehead, constitutional monarchy doesn't seem too bad.
