To ask whether you would become a royal if given the chance

[munkynutts]

Imagine yoy had the opportunity to become a royal. Would you take it?

I would love the money, the prestige and the legacy.

But I dont think I could hack the pressure or criticism.

So personally on balance, I would say no.

No.

No

-having to deal with the media
-Having to be around people
-Having to live in London some of the time

Each one of these would be a deal breaker on its own

No. I’d hate being famous (I could get on with being rich )

Absolutely no way!

@PodgeBod

I could deal with being famous for amy other reason - you can still be your own person.

But being famous as a royal means upholding certain behaviour which surely to god must be so stifling and frustrating.

Kate will never be able to hit the town in fishnets.

Harry will never be able to stand outside a pub with a fag being like "you're havin a fuckin laugh mate!"

William will never be able to get pissed in public.

No. All the royal duties would be SO boring!

Nope. I think it's completely immoral to rely on the labour of others to fund your life. Particularly when you're already minted. I'd never be able to look anyone in the eye ever again.

Had an excellent conversation about this yesterday with my children. Spawning the next generation of republicans nicely

Spawning the next generation of republicans nicely 

Not to worry, I'm nurturing two staunch little Royalists at Chez Emillee. 🤣

But in answer to your question, OP no, I wouldn't want to be Royal in a million years.

Hell yes. Imagine the access to all those beautiful buildings and places. There are some downsides but being treated as special everywhere you go would make some things really easy. Also the experiences they get! The people they meet! How fascinating and privileged.

No way. The pressure, media attention and royal duties sound just awful. I have a job I love and nobody pointing out if I put on 2 lb or wear an ugly hat. And no pressure to have more babies!

No fucking way.

I'm about the same age as Kate and have always said that if I met a boy I liked at university and he turned out to be the heir to the throne it would put me right off.

I’m not a monarchist so might have to object on principle. But if I fell in love with someone where marriage would make me royalty, O wouldn’t give that up.

And William can’t get pissed in public?

No, I have a work ethic. Doing one engagement every blue moon would drive me mad.

No, maybe a very minor working royal though.

No. I love just popping to the shops for some milk, or pootling around the park with the dogs. I think I'd feel quite claustrophobic if I couldn't just walk out of my house.

Don't get me wrong, there would be some up sides, but lack of freedom would probably drive me insane. I don't think I'd enjoy being famous at all.

I would be there like a shot! I am not well and the thought of never doing anymore housework or cooking again would fill me with joy!

I would

No chance. I couldn’t my every movement and appearance being under constant scrutiny. Maybe if the Daily Mail went into liquidation I’d consider it.

Absolutely not. No way. I am republican. I am against all forms of monarchy. There's no way I would love someone enough to marry them if they were a royal who hadn't actively given up their position anyway.

Kate will never be able to hit the town in fishnets.

Harry will never be able to stand outside a pub with a fag being like "you're havin a fuckin laugh mate!"

William will never be able to get pissed in public.

Who would want to do any of that anyway?

Lawks no.

Being famous in any way must be absolutely rubbish at least 50% of the time.

In some ways, yes. I think I'd enjoy the lifestyle. I'd also like to have as many kids as I wanted without having to consider finances.

All the scrutiny and press intrusion and people discussing and criticising me would drive me mad though. I remember the first time I read a thread about Kate Middleton on here and I just couldn't believe how bitchy it was about her appearance and clothes!

I'm a republican, but poor, and need money for DS with SEN and to pay off my debts, etc. So, yes. Why not. Then divorce and run with the money.

Who would want to do any of that anyway?
Me!
