Say something nice about the Queen and /or the Royal family

badabing106

The Queen : What a remarkable lady. She's been representing her country since world War 2 in a dignified and exemplary way. Someone that their nation is very proud of and looks up to in a big way

The Queen and the Royal family are the best brand that the United Kingdom have today.

The United Kingdom will never have the same quality of a states person than the Queen ever again

When she was 90 years old. She had 350 UK and 35 foreign engagements. She is very important to the image of the UK

The United Kingdom will lose a lot when she is gone, especially in this time of sleazy politicians and boris johnson

I suppose we wouldn’t have Royal Ascot without them, a nice sporting occasion in mid June where usually the Irish dominate

Dunno, but they discuss the American one on this site.

There's a big wide world beyond Ireland, the royal family are a pretty well known monarchy.

I don't see the problem in Irish people discussing them tbh. Especially as we live in an island that has a sizable enough amount of people that are "loyal" to them.

Well the American presidency has a lot more political impact on the world than a royal family.

As somebody who is very much anti monarchy and pro-republican I just don't understand what people would find interesting about a family put into a position of power by an elitist system.

It's more to do with celeb culture with weddings, affairs etc. rather than achieving anything of note.

Then it would just be Ascot. Simple.

That's "The Royle Family".:pac:

Nothing positive to say about them the archaic horrible bunch of parasitic bastards. The Bolsheviks had the right idea with royalty, and the French before them.

If you seriously believe in democracy then you could have no truck with monarchy.

I hear ya, and meet your brother, but they're great to poke fun at.

Prince Harry seems reasonably well adjusted and normalish given his circumstances. I felt fairly sorry for him (if that's the right word - it certainly was a gilded cage he was in after all) growing up as a teenager with everything he did or said scrutinized by tabloid scum. I always got the feeling that he just wanted to be left alone and let be himself.

Yeah... it seems like the Kim family in the DPRK missed the memo though.

I was well impressed with the Queen's visit to Ireland a few years back.

William and Kate, and Harry seem like nice people.

The system of monarchy seems to work well for the Brits.

The way their detractors get so bent out of shape in reaction to any news on them is hilarious.

They are quite clever around branding. The switch from Saxe-Coburg Gotha to Windsor in 1917 was very clever.

It's because Irish people have been brought up on lies on the Royal Family. Long live the Parliamentary constitutional Monarchy, the greatest form of Government ever invented.

Ah here, in fairness a good chunk of the Brits love them, so who are we to judge? It works for them.

And don't give me that, 'why are people interested in them.' They are probably the most famous family in the world, a world where vacuous Kim Kardashian is a goddess. FFS!

Oh, as for the thread. They have lovely faces for tea-towels

Having done what one wishes one's army and government hadn't done one time too many, she has been the best thing ever for our independence movement. A royal Ian Paisley so to speak.

The Queen is a figure of stability and familiarity in a turbulent time of constant change. People like that.

Oh oh, and if you're in the UK you'll get a day off for the big events involving them.

I liked her appearance on Cribbs

Strazdas

She was brilliant during the state visit to Ireland. Her trips to the Garden of Remembrance and Croke Park were her idea (or her advisers at least) and didn't come from the Irish side.

She showed us real respect too, speaking in Irish when addressing the President, wearing a harp emblem on her dress the same night etc.

seachto7

She's still alive

Any time I went to the Derby the Queen waved to me.

The Prince's Trust helps a lot of people. Maybe government should be doing more but there you go.

He's mad into the oul organics too.

I still wouldn't be in favour of the concept of royalty in any country.

They don't rule us.

That's nice isn't it

They're not our problem. Also, they never asked to be born into such a weird system, so it seems sort of unfair to attack them as individuals.
