Why am I not The Queen?

I am watching the Invitation to a Royal Wedding Angry. Why do I not have a police escort for my weekly flowers? I want a castle and factories to make my favourite cake Angry

It’s not fair. I want a lot of money and a privelaged lifestyle Angry

You were born with a plastic spoon in your mouth rather than a silver

I just want the kids to go to bed without a fuss for once so I can eat icecream without having to share.

What channel?

lavendargreen · 29/04/2018 21:43

Sucks for you. 🙄

RippleEffects · 29/04/2018 21:44

There are bits I'd like but far more that would challenge me.

I enjoy having privacy with my family. Choosing things to do on a whim. Not having to be polite to lots of people I'd rather speak my mind too. Not having to keep all my political opinions to myself.

Cake and flowers would be nice though.

Trust one. It's not all its cut out to be. |^^|. Grin.

I would not like to live my life under public scrutiny, so no thanks to that. But I would love a castle to live in! Can I pick and choose the bits I would like?

mikado1 · 30/04/2018 21:30

Thanks. Recorded it.

I would love to be the Queen. She has the best job. Don't believe all that guff about how hard her life is. The media respect her and don't give her that much grief.

RippleEffects · 01/05/2018 07:17

@Queenoftheblitz, the big turning point for me in thinking it would be desirable is the thought of having to hold a dinner for the likes of Donald Trump and sit making small talk.

You'd have had to have married Prince Philip though so count your blessings

Mightymucks · 01/05/2018 08:00

Don’t blame us flower. You should have got yer sen down Boujis and shakes your groove thing at Hazza while he was still free.

Still, only 11 years or so until George is legal so there’s still hope if he’s like his Grandad and goes for the old birds.

Can you imagine continually having to dress up, go out and shake hands, make speeches and look fascinated with some new factory day after day after day? To say nothing of not being able to nip out to Tescos and browse their ice cream stock when you fancy being sinful?

Riversleep · 01/05/2018 08:41

Oh the hardship of having to ring the bell and tell a servant to nip down to Tesco and buy their entire ice cream stock so I could choose what flavour I wanted and have it brought to me Grin

DuchyDuke · 01/05/2018 08:42

Lol born with a plastic spoon in your mouth Grin

Riversleep · 01/05/2018 08:45

I'm not sure I could be bothered to be The Queen, but I'd love to be a bit further down the line. I bet whoever married Prince Edwards kids will have a very nice life indeed. I have a very handsome couple of DS's I might try and send the way of some minor Royals.

TheClitterati · 01/05/2018 11:02

I'd love to be Queen so I could abolish the monarchy and turn Buck House, Windsor Castle and all the other palaces into Women/Children Refuges.

hdh747 · 01/05/2018 11:24

Oh yeah, SAHM envy again. And she lives on state handouts. Grass is always greener.Envy

DougFargo · 01/05/2018 11:28

the queen does not live on state handouts. The royals contribute far more than they cost.

LaurieMarlow · 01/05/2018 11:31

No they don't.

I get you OP. I think I'd suit a royal lifestyle. Grin

I'd like to be Kate though. Sometimes I just sit back and daydream about what her day looks like compared to mine.

ajandjjmum · 01/05/2018 11:32

No way - I want to retire!

NameChanger22 · 01/05/2018 11:58

Buckingham Palace would look a lot different if I lived there. Those stupid dogs would have to go.

NameChanger22 · 01/05/2018 11:58

After Prince Philip of course.
