Trooping the colour booing

You won't be watching the ostentatious order of the garter then? All those knights and ladies being to blame for children starving eh.

This is what I can't get my head round. They could all give up being "royal" and live the most wonderful wealthy and privileged private lives . I find it all so archaic and odd that an accident of birth or a marriage confers so much wealth and yet at the same time so much restriction on people.

Well, to be fair, there a significant debate about revisiting Brexit, so think this argument doesn't hold water. Los a thing they did back then are now abolished and rightly so.

I'd abolish the Monarchy but I think that's probably a minority view.

The protesters should be free to express their disdain and the royals are free not to expose their children to protests.

They don't know they are living in luxury, they think they are living normal lives but just have to attend boring events all the time and get stared at. .

Being unaware of their privilege doesn't make them any less so. In fact, it makes them more privileged.

Thousands of people enjoying the event, and a few yellow t-shirted cretins shouting. The anti-monarchists had their chance in 1642 … give it up.

Really? You have no argument so have to resort to personal attack?

It must have been upsetting to have her children booed.

I don't know if it is a rotten institution as OP says but I agree with her that more and more people are getting annoyed by it.
We are a diverse society and it is becoming less relevant to people, many of whom have recently decided to make their homes here and yet the Royal Family remains defiantly, "terribly white" as Adjoa Andoh correctly pointed out.

We are no longer a society of the 1950s-we have many heritage nationalities living amongst us, bring different types of cultural enrichment and it is inevitable that the Royal Family will no longer be relevant, especially as they represent just white faces, not the society we are thankfully becoming.

I don't think there is any need to storm the palace (😂) but as we grow as a multi-ethnic, culturally rich society they will just fade away...with all their billions!

PP is not saying it will, but its fucking vulgar rubbing their noses in it and expecting them to be cheered up

Give over OP. You’re just bitter.

We are not a democracy when at the heart of our constitution is a hereditary Royal family.
I cannot understand the mentality of the crowds who hero worship this very dysfunctional group of people. Looking at the relationships of individuals within the family it doesn’t seem to be a healthy lifestyle for them either , despite their obscene wealth.Just why are masses of people adoring them?

Can't say I've ever been bothered to see the old sponge doing one of his "jobs" - must be incredibly boring.

However
Shouting "Not My King" is not to be sneered at. He is unelected. We cannot vote. We cannot remove him until enough people are emboldened to believe that it's possible. And as more shout, more people hear it. The "king" needs to hear it and those in power need to hear it and those blindly defending them (his willing subjects... what a demoralising word) need to hear it. We can't remove him yet but we can publicly reject and condemn him/them. So good on those shouting loud. If the so called king ever stumbles upon the small coastal town I live in i might feel compelled to politely tell him he's certainly not my king and I'll bow if he bows first.

George is probably saying to himself, F this I'm outta here when I'm 18, with my big fat trust fund, someone else can do this. See ya.

Oh for goodness' sake, they are not 'solid gold carriages' - they are painted gold and SOME gold leaf is applied. They are magnificent.

Abolishing the monarchy will do nothing to stop children starving.

Living in the public eye is no life for a child. Not really a life for an adult. Boarding school is no life for a child. They don't know they are living in luxury, they think they are living normal lives but just have to attend boring events all the time and get stared at.

Awful people to have acted like that. Poor kids.

I agree but the op evidently got pleasure from it so that’s something I suppose.

Yes, they do live lives of luxury and will never be short of money. However, I was watching Saturday's parade and I was thinking that I wouldn't want to have to dress up so formally on a Saturday morning, take a rumbling, uncomfortable carriage down to Horseguards (or ride an unpredictable horse!), and then sit through hundreds of soldiers marching up and down, but there is no doubt it was a wonderful spectacle and those who are invited to attend think it is a great honour. So maybe the money is compensation for the boredom they sometimes have to endure?

That “silly coach” was bought by Queen Victoria.

Is this satire? This country is financially circlinig the drain but, never mind, we're awfully good at the pageantry. Pomp and pageantry don't count for much when everything else is falling apart for lack of money. They're not better than you, they just have more money and my god did they luck out on that front! Get rid of this bunch, and we might be able to start taxing the other landed families a bit more as well.

What would you expect them to say in protest then? Because "End Special financial secrecy rules, be transparent about all sources of wealth and stop protecting immoral and criminal behaviour" doesn't have the same ring.
