Could you really be a Royal?

If you have to adhere and obey to all of these rules!

Half of them are utterly ridiculous and Meghan has already broken most of them! I think she would tell the Queen to fuck off if the Queen says anything, that's probably why she has kept her trap shut.

Yeah, I could cope with all that, shit I'd so all that just to avoid doing laundry.

No one can eat after the Queen has finished her meal. Unless she eats like a fekking hoover I reckon I could manage that.

No, but I wouldn't mind being a royal dog - gourmet meals and they can do what they want.

I think she would tell the Queen to fuck off if the Queen says anything,

Considering she owe her massive privilege and fame almost entirely to the fact that she married the Queen's grandson, that would be rather ungracious.

And in answer to your question, no, I would certainly not want to be a 'royal'. But Meghan, Kate et al clearly did. They knew very well what they were getting into. Along with the enormous privilege come a few arcane rules. Seems a small price to pay if that's what you want - and it is clearly what they wanted.

Apart from no potatoes at dinner, I’d be fine.

I’d hate to be a royal born into the family though I guess I wouldn’t know any different... I’d hate to be famous full stop. I’d like to be rich, but not famous Wink

No, I couldn't deal with the constant scrutiny, the lack of privacy, etc...
People can be quite nasty about the royal family also.

Following on from my post above, I reckon being a minor royal would be pretty sweet. You get to benefit from the wealth, prestige and connections of being associated with the royals, without having to contend with the media intrusion and restrictive lifestyle. Not too shabby.
