Unpopular opinions about the royal family

[Homehermit]

I am just interested to see your opinions about the royal family. No judgement. And it can be from any royal family, not just the British one.

The fawning over the regular children who happen to be royal is too much

Or we could just not bitch about women’s appearance and say Beatrice = Redhead, Eugenie = Brunette?

They don't need us if they were removed tomorrow they have enough money and houses to last several lifetimes the only difference to there day is they could tell everyone to fuck off if they wanted too

So they do it all from the goodness of their heart ?

I'm not a big fan of the queen, to have that many bloody awful children doesn't say much for their parenting

W&K come across as really bloody smug

Diana knew how to work the cameras her advantage

I find it all quite tedious. I just cannot get myself all worked up about any of it.

given the choice, I’d go for a republic. But they’re so pointless I can see why it seems like to much effort to change.

Totally agree with what you say.

@ajandjjmum and @Wagsandclaws

Sounds like you are both trying to downplay Andrews activities.

Do you also think he doesn't need to co operate with the FBI as he promised to do over 1000 days ago.

Or is that something people have 'got wrong' too?

@maddy68
Sorry I you should have been mentioned you in my post before @ajandjjmum and @claws

You think Andrew didn't do much wrong !

Utter disgrace .
Perhaps you could put the FBI right while you are at it

Not downplaying - I think he's an odious man - but the fact is that it has never been suggested that he is interested in children, which is what would make him a paedophile.

And yes - he should co-operate with the FBI. But not doing this doesn't make him a paedophile either. Just makes him even more odious!

Sexual attraction to sexually maturing teens who are not yet adults (ephebophilia). So he's an ephebophile. He should legally if guilty be convicted as a sex offender.

The French had the right idea in 1789 as far as I'm concerned.

Scrounging inbred paedo sympathisers (apart from Harry, he saw them for what they are and fucked off)

Well that's an intelligent argument.

Well I agree, after the Queen pops off, phase them out. They're just very ordinary people, certainly not particularly nice, intelligent or attractive, who have taken advantage of their (god - given!) position to get everything they can. And a lot of people are stupid enough to tug their forelocks to them. And now with Prince Andrew's antics I think the rest of the world can see them for what they are. Certainly nothing for the UK to be proud of.

I do think younger people can see through them though, they are less brainwashed, so the phasing out will probably happen naturally.

*Scrounging inbred paedo sympathisers (apart from Harry, he saw them for what they are and fucked off)

True however.

They need to go and the vast majority of the properties given back to the state and to be made into starter homes for anyone who has never bought a house.

I used to be an arch royalist but no more, they may or may not be ok as people but they’re far too rich and think the public are stupid. Take today for instance, we are told the Cambridges are “moving to a modest 4 bed home in Windsor”. They neglect to mention that they are keeping their Apartment in Kensington Palace and their massive home at Sandringham. So the truth is they are adding an extra home to their family.

I don't see the point of them anymore.

There have been too many scandals now.

Completely irrelevant in this day and age.

They are self serving, out-of-touch parasites.

Cambridge’s houses so far…

KP
Anner Hall
Windsor
Scottish property left to William by QM.

They didn't neglect to mention that they were keeping KP - it was in the statement.

The daft thing is if the RF ceased to be the RF, they have enough personal wealth for them all to live a much happier and free life, like the many other aristocratic families in the country. If I were them I could see the appeal. As it is, there will always be critics (as well as supporters), and people scrutinizing every penny they spend and every move they make.

The whole concept of one very rich, un-elected family being able to (technically) rule over a country is very weird.

However, I think the Queen is a lovely, genuine lady who despite her riches and privilege has had a tough life trying to navigate scandal after scandal. I also suspect MM to be a narcissist.

@ajandjjmum
The question is - why don't they jack it in then ?

And don't trot out the old 'duty' line - even the most gullible royalist won't believe that old lie

The Queen is anything but genuine. A total hands off Mummy, makes laws to suit herself and her tax position, pays millions to keep her dodgy son out of court, doesn't give a shit about the plebs, and is laughing all the way to the bank. No one will know what their net worth is, because their wills are sealed. No scandals allowed there!

I do not respect her at all I'm afraid. She is just another in a long line of greedy leeches. Enough is never enough for them.

I think the idea that their palaces should be given over to refugees/homeless is just silly posturing.

If we became a Republic, those palaces would be major tourist attractions, bringing in lots of money to (presumably) the taxpayers.

Using that money to help vulnerable people? Great!

It would be more effective, make far more economic sense and do far more good than using these priceless pieces of history for housing.
