Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie say its hard work being a modern princess.AIBU to say give it up and do something easier

[longwayoff]

Like brain surgery or astrophysics. You know the kind of thing that's easier than the absolute slog of princessing.

So did i wicked.

Bad bad bad!

The thing is, I used to live in Papua New Guinea and there were rumours that cannibalism still went on in the very remote highlands.

"Ah, so this is feminist corner then." Joining a group of female Labour MPs, who were wearing name badges reading "Ms", at a Buckingham Palace drinks party in 2000

I think this is hilarious!

I do have sympathy for them for having the parents they have. Other than that, they could always choose to renounce their titles.

They're 28 and 30. They should really be independent by this stage! The worst bit in the interview was them claiming that their parents had been treated badly in the media. Whose fault is that?!

I always quite liked Fergie. Granted, the toe sucking thing wasn't wasn't a high point, but few people in that family can claim to have never fucked up. Why do they get forgiven but she is persona non grata?

I expect that's on account on her not being of the Blood Royal.

I feel sorry for them. Their parents have such entitlement and that has been passed on.

@vanillasugar Yes I did know that!!! It’s very much acknowledged by the family, so I doubt they’ll sue you

I am always fascinated by familial relationships anyway. A lot of people scoff at Rees-Mogg’s wife saying she clearly just married him for his money. Given that she has more money than he does, I reckon he must be filthy in bed eh?

For me the Fergie dislike is hard to explain. She just always seemed a bit avaricious. It was just not pretty watching her glee at joining the ranks of the rich and entitled royals. Says more about me probably i know.

That thing with the scam with the Arab prince though ...

But Sophie Wessex got caught up in a sting too didn't she? I can't remember the details. And Prince Andrew has always been very free with public money and has been linked to some dodgy people.
I know way more about the sex lives of Charles and Camilla than I care too. So what makes Fergie worse?

What a gorgeous house that woman has. But I’ll bet she’s not happy (I’ll bet she’s bloody ecstatic)

Arab Prince?

Fergie is worse because:
she is incredibly entitled
she always looks dreadful, no matter what she wears, and despite having a good figure and nice hair
she will not shut up
her children's books were an embarrassment
she is covering some really dodgy stuff for Andrew

There will be many more reasons why but I can't remember them now.

Andrew is known as 'air miles Andrew' for good reason
Sophie ~ got caught in sting with 'Arab Prince', selling 'access' to royal family
Charles 'I want to be a tampon inside you Camilla' (or words to that effect) . Still doing an extraordinarily highly paid apprenticeship past retirement age
Fergie ~ selling access to royals
Philip ~ racist misogynist, idle narky embarrassment
Queen mother and Princess Margaret ~ utter snobs with right wing leanings
Edward ~ idle failed 'actor' with dodgy liaisons
Beatrice and Eugenie ~ pointless and idle with no sense of reality (like the rest of the family)
Catherine ~ does nothing except produce kids that the taxpayer will fund for the rest of their lives
William ~ has yet to prove he can hold down a full time job, claims to be doing an extraordinary highly paid apprenticeship for a job his father is supposed to get!
Harry ~ time will tell now we are told he has grown up. Longest adolescence ever, paid for by the taxpayer.
Meghan ~ the only one whose had a job and showed she was successful in it to. Sadly she is being too easily cloned into a clothes horse and breeding machine, her personality, voice and style already silenced. Can't believe how easily she's being evaporated.

She wouldn't have achieved the success she has if it wasn't for her royal connections. Yes anyone can win an Olympic medal

Zara's father is an Olympic gold medalist isn't he? So it's not like she's not got talent in her blood, it isn't just royal connections.

Meghan has evaporated because she's very thin.

Of course not everyone can win an olympic medal, she's worked hard to get where she has. But her chosen sport isn't for people with little money. Most girls wouldn't have been able to afford to take up eventing, work would get in the way, beside the huge cost. So i'd say her royal connections/money most certainly helped. No doubt about it.

I still can't get over the fact that they named their daughter Eugenie.

It sounds a bit like Eugenics.
Blood princesses, in breeding and all that.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds ... I know way more about the sex lives of Charles and Camilla than I care too. So what makes Fergie worse?

No worse. They're just as bad. I'm not keen on that pair either!

She was late from her previous engagement; we were told that this was normal as she would not leave without speaking to everyone

Well she should bloody well build that into her schedule rather than routinely keeping people hanging around for her to turn up then shouldn't she.

I was going to post that too, Ladaronne. Rude to the people she keeps waiting.
