Sorry but I think that’s a very strange view. Not to mention rather patronising!
I certainly don’t have posters of H & M on my bedroom wall thanks 😀
Maybe you have a framed photo of Charles and Camilla on your mantelpiece? If you did, how would that be any different exactly?
You honestly feel queasy reading some posts on this thread? A little hyperbolic surely?
You can’t imagine any other reasons for people feeling favourable to H & M other than complicated ones you make up in your own head?
I am not romanticising H and M at all!
But if that is the way you choose to frame my view of them, which is incorrect btw, I fail to see how your view of the RF is any different?
The RF have teams of people working for them who curate their image!
They are as rich as Croesus and make visits to poor countries.
Their accounts aren’t transparent.
They are acutely interested in their popularity ratings and liaise with the press to plant positive stories about them in newspapers.
They spend lots of money on clothes.
Can someone explain to me what’s any different?
Why on earth would someone spend good money on a Duchy of Lancaster tea towel or a Highgrove mug? Or dress up in a Union Jack themed suit and spend all night in a tent in the rain by the side of the road waiting for the King to drive past in a golden carriage?
If that’s not Romanticism I don’t know what is!
And if you don’t personally do those things, please don’t accuse me of them either!
