To think 'The Prince' US cartoon is too much?

I couldn't find a thread about this but - there's a new cartoon series coming out, which is basically a bit like 'Southpark' but with the Royal Family as the focus.

I watched a bit of a taster. It has Prince George at its centre. And Charlotte. It's completely no holds barred and has literally appropriated these real people's,and children's, lives.

I don't care about US 'cool' media and piss-take culture. This is something so appalling to do. The children are under 10. Really, really what gives anyone the right to do that? And what the hell is wrong with Harry, I'm sorry, for having declared open season on his own family? His lead on this has made the way clear for this kind of 'creative' attack.

Worse than anything levelled even at Trump. To an entirely innocent and beautifully brought-up little boy, who is only just 8.

Too much.

@mathanxiety

And that's why it was a really, really stupid idea to turn away from the century-old tradition of aloof invisibility in favour of hopping onto the tiger's back, with no apparent plan, no strategist to guide them.

It was an idea born of desperation in an age of social turmoil, and it wasn't thought through, perhaps because of arrogant assumptions that aristocratic amateurs would always manage to keep the upper hand. Now the RF finds itself starring in a circus of its own making.

Yep pretty much.

But such a vicious audience nowadays 🤦‍♀️

And the main attraction hasn't even entered the ring properly yet. Prince Andrew trying to tame a ravenous T-Rex with just his charm and a couple of fruit pastilles 🙈
