Max Power Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 As Woolley said earlier, I don't think I would want the life of a major Royal. It may look glamorous and in many ways it is but they seem to have a punishing schedule of functions where they are continually under the microscope. They can't ever just be a normal person and take time out like Queen Victoria did with almost disastrous results. They have no real power, they can only hope to influence the conscience of the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no crown estates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my heritage, where on earth do you get the idea that inbreeding is the norm? Because believe me the rules on who can wed who are very strict and very rigourously observed. (had to have your little Jude Haas dig didn't you.) As for the rest, are you drunk this early on a Sunday? When I was "employed" ....... under orders etc didn't they say that in Nuremburg? I was advised by my many Jewish friends that the term "marrying out" was frowned on by many of their fraternity , you were alleging "inbreeding" . I regard you playing the "race card " as a pathetic joke and says more about your hypocrisy given your undeniable racist posts on this site. "drunk this early on aSunday"............... , you really shouldn't judge everyone by your own standards . Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone finds him funny is way beyond me. I'm not a big royalist but I actually liked watching the Royal Wedding. Beautiful weather; everyone happy; all that fascinating history and the backdrop of Windsor Castle and Chapel; beautiful dresses on the women; great wedding service and Meghan Markle looked fabulous. Real magic. Better than watching Mourinho sucking a lemon at Wembley. I watched the highlights programme - lovely except for the ceremony itself with its endless religious mumbo jumbo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a nutjob with a dodgy religious upbringing. Paranoid, egotistical, delusional and patronising. Apart from that he's a nice fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably cost pro rata about the same as our raft of elected and non elected buffoons ! only the UK taxpayers get a bit more in return !

If the RF were made to pay inheritance taxes that would change as indeed it should. There's tax avoidance, there's tax evasion, there's tax dodging, there's even money laundering, and there's what the RF get away with.
