You know, no matter what PH does, and no matter when he does it, people engage. And that fact is interesting.
There was a State Dinner last night. Not a word. Not a tiara in sight. No celebrations of a great British tradition. Not a word on how important our Royals are, what a benefit to society they are, what a great British display it was. A big fat hole of nothing.
They do not inspire. Not one of them is interesting enough to get a thread started. Just have a look at the threads on the royals pages over the past few months.
But PH makes an appearance? Out they come. The people who like him hope for a fan thread. The sneer and smear crew show great grit and determination in preventing that.
BUT - no matter which side they are on, people always engage for Prince Harry.
With that in mind, if, as the conceit goes, the Royal family gives us a boost on the international stage (which I don't buy), then the only one who gins up any interest is PH.
I am a Republican by the way, and hold firm beliefs that we should abolish the monarchy, stop the tax payer funding, inheritance tax avoidance, lack of financial transparency and so on, the typical thoughts on the matter of someone with my political position.
And in the interests of full disclosure, I have to go out now so cannot post for a few hours. :)
