Can't think of a whole lot right about the royal family as a whole, but the queen is always on the money.

I was in London on unrelated business when William and Kate were married.

Fck me it was insane, people had come from all over the world to line the streets.


Huge numbers from USA especially.


They must draw some tourist revenue to Britain every year.

The Queen has done a superb job in her long reign as monarch. But I don’t have much time for the rest of the royal family with the exception of William and Harry.

If the British monarchy don’t reform and radically trim down and modernize after the queen is gone, their days are numbered. Many in the U.K. are fed up with them.

3 out of four of prince phillips sisters married nazis. He was the prince of denmark at one time. He was born im greece and is 96 years of age. He had one of the highest ranks in the brittish airforce and was involved im some battles during ww2.
He is more interesting than the rest of the whole royal family put together in my opinion.

Snake Plisken

The Royal family bright in £550M for British tourism in 2017 alone. That’s a great return in investment On the money they get.

Philip was Royal Navy not Air Force. While it is entirely possible he holds some honorary rank in the air force he never served in it. If you have seen the film Master and Commander there is a scene where they launch a small raft with lights as a diversion for the ship that is following them. Philip did the same thing in WW2 as a diversion for planes trying to sink his ship.

ETA: 2 of his brothers fought for the germans in WW2

Please tell us what she has done that is so superb.

Harry the nazi. Following the family tradition. Fair play to him.

You're reaching there. It shows he's got a sense of humour. If he were I don't think he'd be marrying someone that would have been considered untermenschen.

They give people something to talk about at the water cooler.

An American?

I thought the post |i saw on Instagram was funny.

Basically, Harry is marrying an American and his children will therefore be American citizens. as we know, any American citizen can become president, so it is possible that a member of the British Royal family will be president of the US.

Basically, the Brits are playing the long game here.

genius.

Also coincidence that I hear he's going to the FA Cup final in May... hope he doesn't get lost and accidentally end up outside the church where Harry's wedding is on. That'd be awful.

Sleepy

I think the tolerance William and Harry have for the media is remarkable. Considering their mother was effectively killed by that same media.

For all the wealth and privilege they have, I wouldn't take the job if it was offered. Living under such constant scrutiny would be my idea of hell.

exaisle

Are we allowed say something nice about Meghan Markle?

She has a gorgeous arse...

What is the point of this thread on an Irish forum?

Do they discuss the Irish presidency on any UK sites?

Speaking as a blow in from the UK I can categorically tell you that the UK doesn't give a fig about Ireland. Despite what you might hear via the media.It's looks after number one. Same with the U.S. and their love of "Eye-eerland" If this island was to sink into the Atlantic today UK and the U.S. would have forgotten about it by tomorrow :eek:
As for the main topic of this thread? Indifference

King George VI

I feel judging by my username I feel I may be slightly biased. :pac:

They're a good old tradition to make people in Britain feel a bit better. Being British goes hand in hand with having a Royal family.

• The Queen got stuck doing a job she never wanted but has performed as Monarch and as a symbol for the United Kingdom fantastically.
  
• Prince Philip is a gas cunt altogether, and fairly intelligent. Watched a few interviews with him recently. Nice chap.
  
• Prince Charles does a hell of a lot for raising awareness for green living, sustainable energy and has set up numerous charities.
  
• The younger Princes were a bit mad when they were younger but who wasn't as a kid. Nowadays they're doing fairly well, raising awareness for environmental issues etc.

All in all, they're not a bad bunch of people (Their ancestors were not great, however) They fell into jobs with unbelievable fame that none of them wanted and are trying to make the best of it... who wouldn't? I wouldn't particularly want them as my Monarch as an Irish person, I'm happy with Michael D. But for Britain they're needed.
