To admire Eugenie a bit more after the wedding?

[malificent7]

I had no clue about her and she has been portrayed as works by etc.
However....she purposely went for a backless dress to show off her scar and had a plastic free wedding. Aibu to admire that?

I think the girl would have done better if her wedding hadn't been so OTT. H&M's wedding was scaled down from W&K's Abbey occasion, which W was entitled to because he's the eldest son of the eldest son and Harry was only the spare.

B & E are lower down in the line of succession. They don't even do official royal engagements - tho' Andrew wanted them to - because the Palace wanted to reduce its profile in terms of royal 'hangers on'.

He seems to have a problem with being the second son. Harry's doing a lot better on that front.

Her wedding cost us huge amounts of money, I'm afraid I can't admire that when child mental health services are being shut down due to shortfalls of a lot less. It's disgusting and self indulgent.

Yes they’re very good at self indulgence, how lovely to be able to spend other people’s money so freely. Where was the queens famed “thriftiness” concerning her spoilt granddaughter’s indulgent carriage ride. Seems she’s only thrifty when it’s coming out of her own kitty. Just shows how that family really doesnt give a toss about the struggle that so many have to face in in Britain. What a total lack of awareness. Greedy, grasping and totally out of touch. It’s time we rid ourselves of the whole burdensome lot of them.

Personally, yes, my opinion of her has changed, not from the scar but from lots of other news/information about her over the past few days. I think my opinion was skewed because of her obnoxious mother, but now I can see the real person, it's really changed my view.

Yawning801. We’ll have to disagree. I rather think it was odd and unnecessary. You don’t have to be ashamed but neither do you specifically have to draw attention to it. Smacks of ‘poor little me’ display calculated to gain public sympathies (quite effectively).

What a vile comment. Is it really that "odd" that she is proud of what she's been through? Take it from someone who knows, it's not fucking easy to have to accept that you'll never have a perfect pristine body like everyone else. It's not easy to have the prospect of invasive and major surgery looming over you like a giant wall blocking the future. And to call her "calculating"... God, that's vile. And if she hadn't have drawn attention to it, the media would have. To give an explanation (therefore drawing attention to it) was trying to avoid any misunderstandings or unnecessary hatred. But it obviously didn't work in the latter's case.

I think my opinion was skewed because of her obnoxious mother,

Her obnoxious mother has nothing on her repellent father. What a pair of arrogant scroungers!

It's not easy to have the prospect of invasive and major surgery looming over you like a giant wall blocking the future.

But at least she knows that if she needs surgery - or anything else - she will have the very best and very quickest treatment.

Most of us, lucky as we are to have the NHS, have to wait a long time, often for life-saving treatment. That 2 mill put into the NHS could have helped many people.

Eugenie isn't the only person who has "to accept that [you'll] never have a perfect pristine body like everyone else".

Exactly - spending the public purse that has been earned by the sweat of others is very easy. Leaves you enough money to have 3 post wedding parties and a flash honeymoon - and to retire to a grace and favour pad to rest your worn out body.

That 2 mill put into the NHS could have helped many people.

But that 2 mill was never there to be spent on other things. It will include the wages of officers who'd be working anyway. The only "additional" costs would be overtime etc and would be a lot less, would come out of other budgets, and would have been spent on policing other things.

It's like the ridiculous figures for missed GP appointments "costing" £50 or calling a fire engine "costs" £500. It's rubbish. Only marginal costs (i.e. how much extra) are relevant in decision making, not "sunk" costs that are fixed anyway. A fire engine call out costs only the fuel used (unless they're part time when you'd have call out costs too - i.e. their wages!). The missed GP appointment costs no more - the GP/receptionist are paid fixed wages, not "cost per patient".
