Koolblue13 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If tomorrow GB was to announce that they have a real functioning government that has been in place for a very long time and the silly business of having a royal fairy tail pretend government was not going to be supported anymore and the entire country just pretended that it never happened and it vanished over night, would anything happen to GB or the rest of the world?

Forehead Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Back on topic. I don't know if this has been brought up or not, but doesn't it kind of sucks for Harry? The baby is a day old and he instantly trumps Harry in importance.  Are you kidding? If I was going to trade places with any of them, it would be Harry. I mean, I know he had to go through military service (is that actually a requirement of something you just "should do?") and I know he spent time on the front lines in the Middle East by his own choice. But beyond that and a few state visits, what I've basically heard of him is the following.  1. Got drunk and high with friends while in high school, fought with paparazzi. 2. Goes to lavish costume parties, though the Nazi costume was a bad choice. 3. Plays strip billiards with a bunch of chicks while drunk in Vegas.  Now I know he's done other stuff, the war and the official visits and all. But if you're not inclined to do anything like that, does he really have to? He doesn't have to worry about ever shouldering the "official" burden of being king, arguing over policies, negotiating anything, unless he feels like getting involved. He can basically live a Billy Madison type lifestyle if he wants.  "You enjoy yourself at that state dinner William, rubbing elbows and negotiating in the best interests of our country. I'm going to roll out of bed around noon today and prepare myself for another round of drinking, gambling, playing strip-whatever with chicks, racing fast cars with the guys, just like yesterday...and the day before that....and the day before that...put it all on the royal tab."  I know I'm exaggerating and he's more responsible than that, but that option is available to him if he just decides he doesn't want to be involved in anything official. I would much prefer that sort of freedom. The way I see it, the only thing William has on him is a smoking hot wife. Otherwise, I'd rather be Harry 10 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The interest in the UK is much higher now than 10 or 20 years a go and it's all down to celebrity culture. Â Famous for no reason is fashionable as everyone feels they could do nothing and be revered for it. Â As far as the US, I think it shows how there is an aristocracy in America and it is becoming more and more entrenched as social mobility is declining. Â As an aside I'd love Harry to have a DNA test to see who his father is.

The baby is a day old and he instantly trumps Harry in importance. I'm willing to bet that Harry hopes William has a couple more boys to put even more distance between him and the throne.

Am-WelshSkin Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Whilst I'm happy to see baby and mom safe and sound I would have loved to have this soon to be/one day, Prince of Wales, actually born in Wales (since ALOT is made of the fact that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge now live in Wales) . Back in the dark ages the English murdered our Prince of Wales (Llewyllen ap Gruyfydd) and since then we've had to put up with English imitators (who learn Welsh for two minutes); give us back our Principality, give us a true Prince of Wales and then I'll have a modicum of respect for the Royal family. Until then - American's are welcome to them!  CYMRU AM BYTH ...  PS: Please excuse spelling Mr. has been practicing our pina coladas ready for the beach and I'm official tester (hic).

BleedBNG Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'll just say this... I've always enjoyed British produced albums more than American produced (except for Motown). What this has to do with British Royalty, I have no idea... nor care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm not into Hollywood Celebs, gossip, reality TV, or any of that junk. In fact I dispise it and think that whole culture makes the people involved slobbering Troglodytes. And I could not care less about what is happening with the royals. Glad there was no complications but other than that.......whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The British monarchy represents everything that this country abhors. The idea that certain people are better because of breeding... Class distinctions incapable of being crossed. Showing subservience to a group of inbred leaches for no other reason than you're told to. It is the English way, do what you're told and know your place. The very reason we kicked them out 200 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
