| Tits to the blood princesses! |
Still with me? Well, you have been warned. I'm not going to pull any punches.
Last chance to log out........ OK then.
Where does that obscenely rich leech of a woman get off by saying that her grand-daughter in law has to curtsey to any of the rest of that scrounging bunch of spongers?
Just what is so special about carrying royal blood, for heaven's sake? What did any of them ever do to deserve any kind of respect, other than be born into a life of luxury? Oh yeah - they turned toilet seats into fashion items.
Kate (and she always was Kate until she married into the Nobs) is going to be QUEEN for crying out loud (unless Young Windsor comes to his senses and quits cold) but what better way to let her know that she'll still never really be quite good enough.
It was bad enough that the "Firm" managed to drive poor Wills and Harry's mum round the bend and into the arms of the first bloke that showed her some tenderness. What a romantic man SHE married! "Are you in love?" he was asked on the day they announced their engagement. "Whatever that is", was the reply. JUST what a girl wants to hear from her Prince.
Just as soon as she'd dropped a couple of bulls and done her royal (breeding) duty, she was chucked on the scrapheap. The line of succession was safe and Chas babe went running off back to his bit of stuff.
There's a rumour around Sandringham that he'd never actually left Cowmilla in the first place, of course. There's a private railway siding behind the big house and according to people who ought to know, HRH spent the night before his first wedding with a certain married woman of his acquaintance on the royal train there. Might just be a tale, of course, but it sort of blends with the rest of the story doesn't it?
So, a generation later, second in line to the throne has the audacity to fall in love with a Commoner (think about that word - commoner than what? Commoner than the 'blood' royals, that's what) so how are we going to make sure that she knows her place? Make it clear that's she's not 'one of us'. I know! We'll make her curtsey to practically everyone else she'll ever meet that isn't a servant.
Don't have kids Kate - you'll end up like your mother-in-law VERY quickly.
Incidentally, I read something yesterday about the diamonds exhibition currently on show at Buck House. One of the tiaras was apparently rumoured to be the one that Kate would wear on her wedding day, but they decided it might not be the best idea. You see, said tiara was given by the Queen to Diana on her wedding day (Given, you note.) but when Chas and Di split up they made her give it back.
There used to be a phrase for that. But it's racist.

I wonder what goes on around the palace when nobody is watching. Do they loaf around in sweats and watch re-runs of, "Keeping Up Appearances"? Does Kate curtsey to the Queen. Who are these people behind closed doors? At any rate, I am still glad that Diana turned a few thousand years of royalty in its ear.
What a sad existence it must be, behind those gates. I'll keep my common life.
Um...AJ, are you upset about something???
Just kidding. But I can't say that I agree with all your sentiments. I think we will have to agree to differ on this one :[
Hi Kaybee
I make no secret of the fact that I'd line them all up against the wall and shoot them, if they couldn't find a way to make a living for themselves. I believe the UK would be better off without them. Security costs would plummet for a start.....
I think they live in a different universe, really and truly. I have never interviewed royals but I have interviewed extremely rich and grand aristos in depth and different planet hardly describes it. If you start seeing them as ordinary people you want to blow your brains out. Since I learned not to do that, I have actually started to see their advantages and am now quite a royalist.
Well, off to practise my curtseying, now, I suppose :)
I am ambivilant and slightly bored by the royals. There are so many people born into riches throughout the world who have not earned their position that I do not get het up about them, nothing you or I say will ever touch them.
People worth hating are those who claim to be honest and hard working and represent the people but who buy enourmous houses and claim money they really are not entitled to and vote themselves huge pensions, or those who club together to bend the rules and keep interest rates artifically high or sell people worthless or even toxic insurance and make obscene bonuses no normal person could spedn in a lifetime when there are people in the world who are so poor they have to sell their own children for a few coppers so as not to starve.
You don't pull any punches do you? Is it just the UK royals you feel this way about or all royals?
Hi all - I did warn you that I'd upset a few people, didn't I?
To answer a few specific questions...
Dolores... actually other people's royal families seem to be much more 'normal' than ours. The Queen of the Netherlands can actually be seen pottering across town with a shopping basket when she doesn't have official duties. They are much more approachable. So I don't have a problem with them.
snafu ... I agree. I hate the fact that fat cat businessmen (including bankers)are shafting the country, us, and probably me personally, since I have loans and a mortgage. I hate that they expect millions in bonuses (bonuses - not even their basic pay!). But I consider that the royals have got to where they are by generations of lying, cheating, conning people, in some cases killing people, subjugating countries and generally trampling on anything that got in their way. AND they expect me to curtsey to them!
If I express my disgust by throwing a bucket of horse manure over a banker the worst that's likely to happen to me is being charged with assault.(Max 6 mnths in prison) If I did that to Liz Windsor I'd be charged with treason. (Life imprisonment)
This is basically unfair.
Hah! I KNEW I would get an opinion AJ!! we will have to disagree about the monarchy in that I believe strongly in the institution but I DO despise the way it is running these days. The Queen needs to take note on how to do it from the Spanish or Dutch or one of many other modern royal families and get over this silly, costly pretense. CURTSEY , INDEED !!!!!
Bloody beautiful, AJ. Not being being a royalist at all, nor fascinated with them, I enjoyed this post thoroughly.
I can see your point of how they got there and agree in general most of the 'nobles' got there similarly but nations and lands are mostly stolen from the original owners by force of arms and if we gave it all back 99% of the British would be made homeless.
However, I love Mike Harding's response to a landowner telling him he was trespassing when out for a ramble. It turned out the landowner was an Earl and when asked how come he owned so much empty land, told Mr Harding that one of his ancestors was given the land and title by the king for supporting him in battle, so Mr Harding suggested that in that case he and Earl should fight for the land, since that was how his family got it in the first place. The Earl refused and called the police.
