To think my friend is in cuckoo land?

Fairly silly thread I know but anyway...

My friend who is a vegan said to me in conversation that if she married in to the royal family, she would use the public platform gained by marrying into the royal family to to promote the benefits of being vegan and encourage others to become vegans.

I pointed out that this would not be allowed and if it happened would go down like a lead balloon.

AIBU to think I am 100% right?

Who would she marry?!

The royal family wang on about a load of stuff so yes, if she married in I'm sure she'd have plenty of opportunity.

But I'm guessing there's more chance of you shitting out a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end than her marrying royalty so maybe just nod and smile.

Ah you’re talking about Meg.

Your friend is in cuckoo land as are you for giving it any headspace.

The Royal family has been slimming down for a few decades and Charles has pledged he will cut it to the bone , so its unlikely she would marry someone very high up, and even if your friend did manage to achieve a means of lecturing folk, I doubt they would want to listen.
She sounds a bit batshit tbh

No-one is ever 100% right, so YABU

If she married Andrew then she would get plenty of media attention….. they say all publicity is good publicity and the press would certainly be interested in her.

Not sure it would be a great advert for vegans though, but it would certainly be amusing to see Andrew munching on tofu and making his own oat milk if she could convert him😆

He could start giving anti hunting talks and discussing how chickpeas are the new caviar 🤣

Does she think everyone would stop eating meat because they wouldn't.
Not going to get that chance anyway is she?
