The British Monarchy

[Lowtower]

We laugh at North Korea yet we have mental cunts literally foaming at the mouth about Meg and Henry.

Anyways I've solved it

 

[Brewster's millions]

And her mother retired and cashed out of that party planning business well before it went bust, meaning it had little impact on the wealth created by it.

This narrative that Kate is “of the people” is just nonsense, and is simply the narrative she and the royal family have carefully crafted since she first began her relationship with William.

And people believing that narrative matters because it acts to legitimise an institution that has outlived its usefulness and now just stands to legitimise inequality and the issues it causes for most people in the nation. That extends to the millionaires and billionaires that knock elbows with the royal family and largely control the political machine of the UK.

By any reasonable measure Kate came from wealth and privilege, and her upbringing was far closer to a person born to the royal family than it was to yours, mine, @mackenzie, or @Brewster's millions.

The only person who was written anything saying that Kate Middleton is ‘of the people’ is yourself. Creating your own narrative so that you can disagree with it is a bit odd.

She looks good in our 1970s away kit in this photo though.

I think you and others have very much implied that, and I think you’re being quite disingenuous claiming that I have created that narrative from nothing, especially given your efforts to redefine what being born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth means and verifiably inaccurate assertions about the background of the Middleton family.

I don't think her upbringing was closer to the RF than it was to mine. Wealth perhaps, but apart from that.....no.

You came up in privilege, as well?

I want to hear your story!

Both came from parents who worked for a living, both had anonymity to go about our daily lives as we wanted to, both had structure and yet freedom too, both had a loving close extended family and neither had a close relative that was the monarch.

Were your parents millionaires (with trust funds) that interacted with the royal family regularly and sent you to the best schools and got you the best jobs, before you were courted by and then married a member of the royal family (as was your sister)?

No, but we have common ground in the way we were allowed to live our lives.

The cheek to suggest the Firm deserve our respect. As you say, it is earned.

The old girl absolutely deserved that respect.
