Will, George & Charlotte - Taylor Swift concert (photos)

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Looks like William took George and Charlotte to see Taylor Swift for his birthday. Looks like Taylor was just as happy to meet them as they were to meet her.

It’s not obvious. It’s all been a very confusing exercise for me. We’ve got your sister, disabled children, £1.30, police and fighting in the streets, papers needed marked.

Are you just mad about the Dad dancing?

No agreed, it won't be a case of 'we're no longing using taxpayers' money to pay for Edward's family's sixth Swiss ski-ing trip of the decade, let's send it to St.James Primary to finally replace the TAs who left three years ago', but it will mean more money in the pile to be used for everyone, not just one family.

The only ones getting paid protection are the King and Queen and the Wales. The others only when doing royal duties.
Oh, and Prince Harry, because he's determined to make us pay, even though he's decided not to be an official royal anymore.

100% brilliant. 👏 Could not have put this better myself!

?

No it doesn’t. Special Protection are employed specifically as that. They are separate to the rest of the Met. So how does that mean there are less doing other specific jobs?

eta and like I said, they protect politicians as well

Filth.

I remember some sort of socialist folk thing we went to on the afternoon/early evening when I was 6, but that's as far as it goes. And lots of Labour Party barbecues where we sang The Red Flag.

No royals to protect> police employed to protect switched to other role= more police officers OR money saved on police no longer required> money returned to public purse.

The theoretical not-paying-for-royals government could spend it on schools, couldn't they? There's no reason why not, in theory.

Were you one of those kids that thought if you didn’t have any siblings you’d get more sausages? Because it doesn’t work that way. The parents just buy fewer sausages.

You don't think that a President would require protection? Or a Politburo?

Aaarrgh!!! Special Protection would still exist to protect politicians and whoever was head of state if we didn’t have the Royals. They wouldn’t be switched to “other roles”. Protection is their full time job. I have a friend in SP and that is what they do. All the time. But very often with the PM or other ministers. Or visiting overseas VIP’s. They don’t do ”other jobs”

typo again. It’s getting late 😆

Would you just tear down all the big historical buildings then? Or sell them to communists and fascists?

You have done nothing but derail this thread, feel free to discuss the picture but I’m sick of you banging on about fucking taxes, start your own thread or request a republican board you are boring some of us into a coma.

My sentiments exactly. Why can people not just be happy for them, and at least TRY to be a bit nicer and kinder? Why so much vitriol? These haters do sound so unhappy.

👏

I definitely think it was him that wanted to go to the concert and just took the kids as a cover up.

He’s having way too much fun 🤣

😂

I'm happy that they did something nice and enjoyed themselves. I just think he could've picked something that didn't risk encouraging them in moral turpitude.

Really obnoxious this one.

Excuse me for not believing that particular group as it's their mission to abolish the monarchy and therefore they will push their own agenda.

Funny though! 😂 AND TRUE!

It's easy to deal with derailers. Just ignore them. Don't play their game.

I'm not particularly a Republican personally so I'm not that bothered about the current state of play, but they could be with the equivalent of the National Trust or probably pay for themselves as tourist attractions, or be sold off as private homes.
