I've caught a few items on the news about this pair. They seem to be ramping up their public presence in a rather strange way. Salacious and attention seeking. What is going on?

That's not what's being said, overall they may have to do less but individually they will still be working full time.

But we are still paying them the same amount of money. What is the point if they do very little?

That's not the case, if there are fewer working royals then overall they will be receiving less money? Like redundancy in a company, you wouldn't say the workers left were doing less work for the same amount of money would you? In all likely hood the ones left end up with more work than before (W&K) not less.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 13:36

They will receive the same amount of money, although the security bill should reduce as there are less Royals going to public engagements. But the cash they are given will remain the same amount.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 13:38

At the moment the money for all the working royals goes to the Monarch to give out. That pot will stay exactly the same or increase.
It is a good wheez. Slim done the monarchy by doing less work for the same amount of cash.

Blossomtoes · 17/01/2023 13:40

They won’t be doing less work. The remaining ones will do more work to compensate for those who have left.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 13:41

Will they? You mean William will do as many engagements as his 90 year old grandmother did? I doubt it very much.

He was already doing more. As you’d expect.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 13:44

A tiny bit. He won't hit the number of engagements of his 80 year old grandmother though. And Kate will not do any more than she ever has.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 13:50

So far with kate and william this year -

13th Jan Kate attended an early years meeting.
12th Jan - Kate and William opened Liverpool Hospital

And that is it. That is their hard work so far this year.

Yes those are the photos I meant. She’s grabbing his crotch, they are kissing with their tongues sticking out and then there’s a cringeworthy interview where they call each other My Love in a really cringeworthy way. I think they’ve decided now the Queen is dead that anything goes regarding self promotion and money making.

I agree the crotch one is 😳 and Anne has probably text her asking how pissed she was. They're not really kissing with tongues out are they. She's puckered up and he's stuck his tongue out at her. It's not like they're necking on the balcony with his hand up her frock.
My Love being salacious tho... I think you should read more racy literature if that gets you going!!

Yes I thought the same, 'look at us we're the fun ones!' Used to really like them but my opinion has changed after seeing him on IACGMOOH and her taking part in the mean girls scenario wearing burgandy at Kate's Carol service.

I really don't get the burgundy thing. When me, my sisters, mum and gran meet up we've frequently made an "ooh look" matching comment without any planning whatsoever in that at least 2 out of 5 of us will be wearing something of a similar shade, before you add any kids into the mix.

Added to which the fact that it's a coming out of mourning colour and its a very popular colour for Christmas/winter coats anyway (shades of miranda priestly "burgundy....for christmas....groundbreaking") and I really don't get it.

If they were wearing bright orange or something mayyyybe but even then its a stretch! Pippa isn't even a member of the royal family so would be exempt from "the rules" anyway so the story is "2 out of 7 female adults in a family wore the same (very popular) colour coat at the same time." Which is a non story.

Really didn't like her face pulling as the vicar spoke at Harry and Meghan's wedding, she came across incredibly rude and nasty doing that.

I think there are pictures of H and M trying hard not to laugh as he droned on and on, Z and M weren't the only ones by any means, I was half expecting to hear the Duke of Edinburgh loudly muttering 'Oh for God's sake!'.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 16:54

Post these photos of Harry and Meghan then? I have never seen that.
I too think some of the Royal Family were incredibly disrespectful. I go to church and have sat through some long sermons, it does not mean you laugh, and especially not at a wedding.

unlike her cousin Harold and his clingy wife who is always hanging off him, with that smug grin on her face

...and here you are, prepared to make yourself sound absolutely fucking horrible and misogynistic on a public forum.

People, eh?

Oh dear! In whay way is daring to criticise Harry 'misogynistic' ? People, eh?

Google ‘Harry and Meghan laugh during sermon’ they are all there for you…..

Katied1988 · 17/01/2023 20:19

Thank you!

lollipoprainbow · 17/01/2023 20:25

Harry and Meghan are laughing along with him but different to smirking rudely such as Zara, Camilla, Kate and Beatrice.

CathyorClaire · 17/01/2023 20:37

And all that money spent sending them to elite schools.

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 20:42

There is also that awful video where Charles and Camilla are smirking at throat singers.

Coxspurplepippin · 17/01/2023 21:07

Do you understand the point of throat singing? Obvs not - laughing is part and parcel, the singers laugh at each other. have a read

babsanderson · 17/01/2023 21:11

They are smirking.

Your link talks about what the throat singers do. Charles and Camilla were the audience. They were rude as fuck.

HTF is that misogynistic???!!! It's my 'truth'???? They are so irritating and now they've demonstrated that they're also malevolent, cruel, spiteful and vengeful. In Harold's own words.

Amen to that!!

As for the wedding, was also watching it agog at home wondering when he was going to stop wittering on! It was so OTT for a royal wedding. H&M were laughing - the others were at least trying to control themselves!

Does Meghan even attend church anyway?!

Yes, I've just read that link, and can't see where it says laughing along is part and parcel?!
It says the singers do when the first one to run out of breath doing it, not that the audience do.
As for Zara pulling incredulous faces at the minister yes it must be because she's pregnant and therefore probably something like she's peed her pants, or given herself.a wedgie. 🙄🤣
I've heard it all now.
