It's not the slagging off that bothers me. It's the decision to elevate and frame this story as though it were a matter of genuine national importance, worthy of prominence on the BBC and in the broadsheets. And why is it being done? It's unashamed PR for a Royal Family that benefits to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds every year from the public purse and, quite literally, as the song goes, rules over us.
That makes them entirely legitimate subjects for criticism and comment. And branding anyone who dares to mock, question or comment on this coverage as "miserable cunts" is simply an attempt to aggressively shut down perfectly reasonable discussion.
They could, after all, have chosen not to keep shoving this stuff in our faces. Instead, they seem determined to turn their privileged lives into a national news event, while expecting the rest of us to applaud politely and keep our opinions to ourselves.
Anyway, that's what I think, and I'm as entitled to my opinion as anyone else is to theirs including those who apparently believe they've discovered yet another young prince of the Enlightenment, a great intellectual talent whose every utterance deserves national attention.The family can of course abdicate if they don't want the attention.
