How dare Harry and Meghan be a cuter more interesting couple than our future king and queen. Off with ya. Not our king or queen, thankfully. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV147 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think without the royal family, the average Brit would be incredibly bored. The royals and soccer are all they have, and soccer is boring enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that would be like telling Brad Pitt no more Jenifer Aniston or telling Elton John no singing for environmental reasons (voice has gotten so low it has a fracking effect in the ground).

sean327 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don't get the fascination many Americans have with the Royal Family. We fought a revolution to get out from under their inbred tyranny. The world would be a better place without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Convert Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 They should just buy the Kansas City Royals and tell the Queen that they’re managing British Royalty in the US in a way that at least some Americans actually give a shit about it.

BYUcougfan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don't get the fascination with this family either. They were basically imported a hundred years ago. They have very little common ancestry with the British royal families that really mattered (e.g., Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont be cut off. Do disgruntled people in England not like them... duuuuh of course. Why would we (Americans) worry about this stuff? Harry s USA wife Meghan cant stand the London tabloid BS and scrutiny.. Can't blame her. I think the gold digger brought it on herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I remember George III and when they burned the White House. In 2040 when President Markle says Harry wants to press his rightful claim, it’s payback time bitches. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks wikipedia Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

No one there for Hastings, Agincourt, reformation, civil wars, etc. They have had nothing to do with any important English/British history.

Me neither really but I think they're giving up their royal entitlements due to infighting, backstabbing and other duties they don't agree with. I can relate is all, on a much smaller scale of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
