Unpopular Opinion - William and Kate

[EdaYildiz]

Don't come at me, I'm sharing my unpopular opinion because I want to know what you all think but just don't see a spark between William & Kate.

Loved them since the day they starting dating way back when they were undergrads at St Andrews but I just don't see their connection in pictures and it seems a little forced when she has her hand on his back or when they do hold hands.

I don't expect them to hold hands and snog because I know they're mostly photographed whilst they're working but he looks bored and she looks like she's trying her best.

Does anyone agree with me?

The same Queen who paid north of £8 million over the alleged rape and trafficking of a minor, the one her son claimed to never have met... ~that's the paragon of virtue?

We don’t know how much was paid . Every estimate is pure speculation.

That's what you took from my statement? not that your saintly Queen didn't see to it that her 'innocent' son went to court to prove that he was.

Mummy even made sure her alleged rapist and child trafficker son wore his military uniform at her funeral. How sweet 😐

tatala, Andrew wore a black suit to the Queen's funeral...............

I believe an exception was made at one of the vigils. He even get to wear her ER cipher unlike the one who married a biracial woman. Oh dear, oh dear.

So what you're saying is Andrew didn't wear military uniform to his mother's funeral as you claimed.

He didn’t wear his military uniform to her funeral.

x post with @pumpkinscoop

Jesus .

Here we go . Nitpicking over whether Andrew wore his chocolate soldier medals and ignoring the FBI requests - what it is to be a royalist in 2022

Next they will be trying to deflect from Mountbatten mark my words

@tatala

Apparently there are differences in uniform rules depending whether you resign/retire and length of service, but why let facts get in the way of your racism narrative 🤷‍♀️

@Ohnonevermind

I suppose staring at the fine print of ridiculous protocol renders you blind to the all the nefarious dealings the royals are squirming their way out of.
Handy that if you are a royalist and desperately need someone to bend your knee to

@Novella4

what nonsense, there are rules in place, very important in the military. It’s not rocket science and its not racism.

@Novella4

I’m not in the U.K., I happily live in a republic, so no knee bending.

I'm talking about Royal protocol in particular .
All Royal protocol is invented and ridiculous

It is designed to create a mystique - and it works on the impressionable - at least it used to . The problem is the UK is an increasingly poor and unimportant country and having a grossly rich 'royal ' family looks Ruritanain

The plastering of unearned medals on these very ordinary , rather dim individuals only reinforces this

@Ohnonevermind

You aren't in the UK

I assume you are still a UK citizen?

Why are you bothered !

@Novella4

I’m not a U.K. citizen, I’m viewing at a remove, I don’t read tabloids, I don’t watch those IACGMOUH, love island shows etc

I find it interesting, the way I found the US elections interesting.

Well lucky you.

Not literally subject to the royal scammers .

Enjoy the show !

“Rather dim individuals “

Who are you referring to ?

Well I was referring to the royals .

Who do you think I was referring to ?

@Novella4

some posters are very upset that Harry has been called dim and have been posting furiously about it, so you might get some pro Harry posters pulling you up on calling people dim, otherwise they might seem rather hypocritical 😀

I'm withholding my judgement on Harry - waiting to see how much of a break he has made with his past .

I'm hopeful but wary

If he's capable of change and insight he's not dim - intelligence has little to do with qualifications

I thought it was frowned upon on MN to refer to people as dim/ thick/ whatever . Or is it only certain people ?

Only royals
HTH

And certain posters it would seem.

Re Andrew; As I understand it, Ms Guiffre (sp?) was determined to go to court. So was P. Andrew. His legal team asked for the original photograph, which she was unable to produce. So she decided to settle. P. Andrew was pressured to settle by the RF being the Platinum Jubilee year. Some sources say the sum given was not nearly as much as the speculation in the papers
