To think Prince George is never going to find a life partner?

[HitMeWithAHotNoteAndWatchMeBounce]

Who on earth would marry into the Royal Family, at this point?

What sort of parent would send their child to the slaughter-house?

The monarchy could well end up crumbling because no-one will be willing to marry into it - due not only to unacceptable levels of press intrusion, but also social media (and God even knows what that’s going to look like by the time George (and his siblings) come of age).

It's Christmas 🎅 and it's a silly thread, talking of George's spouse at 9.

Ok dear

Loads of dukes marry non-nobles. They're not sobbing into their soup about lack of affability.

How would they feel threatened by somebody willing to marry them, and effectively become an extension of their own importance?

I bet there are plenty who live in gilded cages and wouldn't dare to put a foot wrong, say or do the wrong thing or otherwise actually threaten the aristos.

Some info on the upper class family history of Rees-Mogg here, if you're genuinely interested (goes back to the 13th century so it's quite long): selectsurnames.com/rees-mogg-jacob/

Yes I tend the think that the real royal fans hate themselves a bit. I mean, how else can you be comfortable fawning over a moral degenerate who just happened to come out of the right vagina, and actually look to them as your rightful master?

😂Hahahaha this is the biggest pile of bollocks I have read on MN in a long long time 😂

I cannot even begin to fathom how any one could belive such guff 😂

OMG some one has been opening the bargain basement crackers too soon.

Yes a t-shirt being available for sale at some point in time is exactly the same as taking an actual child and discussing his future intimate partners.

I know you keep thinking you have ‘gotcha’ moments but honestly your false equivalence is bordering on embarrassing

Who has treated you ‘like a peasant’? What does it look like to treat someone like a peasant? What a hugely sweeping generalisation! I wonder how you’d feel if people generalised about working class people?

What's a gotcha moment?

I thought we were having a discussion. No need to get so emotionally involved.

Excellently repudiated there :)

You're so well under their heel you don't even notice the gravel in your eye

Why has this conversation gone to sex? Marriage or cohabitation, especially when you work together in a family firm, are mostly about literally everything other than sex. I know this from experience. In fact, after you’ve spent all day, every day with your spouse/partner, sex is very often the least important thing.

It’s smutty and gross and totally hypocritical.

What makes you think I’m entoionally involved? Or have you just run out of useful things to say and fancy having a dig?

Yes there are a couple of posters like this who keep bringing up sex on this thread, when people try to discuss marriage. It's quite disturbing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sure, Jan

I thought gotcha moment was some reference to something like an Oscar moment. Must be something else perhaps before my time

Who is Jan?

Can we keep the references current and relevant, for the sake of a proper discussion?

By speculating whether he will be with a man or woman it’s not speculating on a life companion it’s speculating on who he takes to bed. It’s weird to do that to a small boy

You lot may not have got the memo but that’s normally the difference between a friend and a partner you see.

A lot of straight people immediately think of sex (usually anal) whenever they think of gay men. It's standard homophobia unfortunately, because they don't see gay people as fully human as themselves.

I thought we'd moved on in society but perhaps not.

So John Rees is a priest from Wles. He marries Mary Mogg Woolridge. She's the great great grand daughter of a Sheriff of Somerset who has a coat of arm. John Rees has to take the surname Mogg. They inherited Cholwell House and were local gentry. JRM is their greatest grandson.

I dont get it. Where's the upper class middle ages history? Where the upper class recent history?

It's you that said anyone who tries to move into the upper classes will be put down. And yet I know women who have done just that and they are accepted. Very few (if any) live in gilded cages. They get on with running the moneypits of home and working with local charities. You have a rigid and narrow minded ideas of how a different class to yours operates.

I'm crushed. 😁 😁 😁

Good grief - has anyone speculated on whether this little 9yo boy is straight or gay?? I haven’t seen that, on my phone so can’t scroll easily. That’s appalling if they have. He’s just a boy.

As far as I saw, though, this was ANOTHER hypothetical. IF the future monarch were to be this or that, THEN this or that. Hypothetical. Year 1 pupils are taught about hypotheticals. Even they are able to grasp the difference between a hypothetical and speculation on the future of an existing situation.

Have I missed something - are gay men having sex with vaginas? It’s homophobia to assume gay men have gay sex?

Anyway - my point stands. Speculation on a life pattern and if they’ll be a man or woman isn’t wondering who’ll be his mates bit who’ll be his partner. It’s inappropriate and creepy.

Yea they have.

I Id wrath’s what hypothetical means. It doesn’t mean its appropriate to speak about the hypothetical romantic future of a 9yo boy
