They were about Kate as well you know. Inanimate objects are not members of the Royal family 😂

How would I know that? , I have not seen or posted anything about grass , high heels in relation to Catherine, but you obviously meant that as a sly dig then, perhaps you should be more opaque in your comments in future.

Don't understand your post, no idea what your point is

The poster is referring to media stories about how wonderful Catherine is because she walked on grass in high heels.

That’s nice but of no interest to me , so I’m not sure why I would be well aware?
but many thanks for explaining.

Indicated to whom?

I think it would be interesting to know. With a source of course.

I am used to wanting people to be more transparent, not more opaque, we're in deep doo doos if the royals try even more opacity!

Sarcasm not a thing for you then.

A king is taught from a young age how to represent the country.

Yet so many others in varied fields manage it all by themselves.

For those questioning how a republic might be instituted and then look I'd recommend Graham Smith's 'Abolish the Monarchy: Why we should and how we will' where he lays out a very workable pathway although I know monarchists won't want to read.

Conclusions here:

https://www.republic.org.uk/abolish_the_monarchy

It's a well reasoned argument which shoots down the usual claims of it all being too complicated to disentangle.

I'm just waiting for it to be torn apart purely on the basis of source 😎

Can I ask something? Why the sweeping judgement about what people will read or dismiss or tear apart?

I’m open to a reasoned discussion but it gets on my pip if someone makes a judgement for me without even considering that I may be open to an alternative view. It is a bit of an insult f I’m honest.

If you believe the people who should be reading it won’t read it, then why bother with a link?

Weary experience.
