Wills is just as bad.
They are doing/saying nothing to stop the totalitarian push in the yookay. So what is the point of them now?
Win. Win. And what’s more, raindrops are all gay. Rainbows attest to the fact.
Vacuous claptrap
Shame Princess Anne isn’t next in line to the throne !! She thinks climate change alarmism is rubbish
Prince William is the same as his dopey brother
Most of the royal family are to the left
Most of the royal family are thick
I am a pom and pro monarchy, but they really should keep their mouths firmly shut and keep to the job description
Oh he is sooo right. I hope he celebrated August 7 International Save the Guinea Worm Day. https://www.angelfire.com/ms/guineaworm/
The stupid prick can never recover from this.
A very well respected man during his army career, he has gone and thrown all that good will back in everyone’s face. What a dickhead.
For a couple seeking “privacy”…they clearly don’t know the meaning of the word.
As for Harry, I don’t think he’s particularly happy but he chose to sell is soul to trailer park trash and there must be consequences. There can be no return for Harry. He’s a disgrace.
Well, that apple definitely didn’t fall far from the apple tree.
No one ever talks about all of the documented imbecility & sheer madness of the European royalty with its program of inbreeding over the past few centuries, so perhaps the real tragedy here is that Harry’s father really is his father.
These interventions by Harry are like hostage videos – and his wife is off camera threatening to withdraw her masterful favours.
‘Every sperm is sacred’, Monty Python The Meaning of Life
When I look at Harry and Megan I completely understand why the Romanovs were summarily “romanoved”.
“so perhaps the real tragedy here is that Harry’s father really is his father.”
LOL..yes indeed.
Wouldn’t is be awesome if we all got a vote on the next monarch from a list of all the heirs?
Call it Monarchy for the 21st century!
The problem is what’s in the “job description”.
I was taught the way the monarchy is meant to work is the monarch should avoid making “controversial”statements that are opposed to the policies of His or Her Majesty’s Government. They’re free to speak in support of anything the government supports. Fair enough.
The problem with the Royal heirs, and one day with the next King, whoever it is, is that their views on climate change actually agree with the views of Boris Johnson’s government, so they’re “allowed” to speak out. But if King Charles is also King of Australia one day, shouldn’t he respect the Australian government the same way he is meant to respect the UK government. Otherwise what’s the point of a shared monarchy?
Let there be no more conjecture about whether Charles really is Harry’s father!
Ha Ha Clunk.
(Sorry, that’s Di laughing her head off!)
Tony.
Mummy was a closet Greenfilth loon married to an out-and-proud Greenfilth loon. What are the chances their progeny weren’t also Greenfilth loons?
Military service wasn’t enough to knock the bullshit out of Harry, especially after he was entrapped (because of his little-boy-lost mummy issues) by a leftard Hollywood predator, who quickly relocated him to LA, the world capital of green lunacy.
Lady Di was the brains of the outfit.

Disagree…whilst William has swallowed the climate change bullshit, I suspect he might know when to “pull it in”. Also he married a far, far better woman. They read the public mood better too…as evidenced last year when William, Kate and the kids caught a domestic flight to Scotland (or from Scotland)….this was after the uproar of the Trailer Park Trash Couple, who had been sanctimoniously lecturing British plebs about carbon emission then were outed using a private jet to fly to the south of France for a party. If there’s one thing the public loathe…and rightly so…it is hypocrisy.
They must be telling the little boy Archie that he is a raindrop.
Hoping he won’t notice as he grows up that he is actually the grandson of a future King of England and has some really nice cousins he could play with and get to know and nice times to be had and even great grandparents who would like to see him.
All those fees paid to Eton and thisis what you get ,Boris went there too ,complete waste of unearned income .
English public schools have produced more than their share of dickheads ,still I suppose their Mums dont want them henging about the house ,annoying them .
“All those fees paid to Eton and thisis what you get ,Boris went there too ,complete waste of unearned income .”
Agree…but it did produce the wonderful Douglas Murray.
The best you can hope for from a British public school education is a damn good rogering before you join the KGB.
Or perhaps join the Conservative party and end up naked on Clapham Common with a pair of ladies tights over your head and an unpeeled orange stuffed in your mouth.
Apparently there’s an even bigger ecoloon than found in the house of Saxe-Blaupunkt-MercedesBenz. I was at a conference where the keynote speaker said (non-ironically) that the 250k people that died in the Boxing Day tsunami died of climate change. And yes, he’s a perfessor. Doesn’t seem to like Trump much either.
How ‘Trendy Hendy’ is overseeing a woke revolution at Eton
Simon Henderson took over his role as Eton College headmaster five years ago and was nicknamed ‘Trendy Hendy’ by pupils.
He is said to have a habit of wearing chino trousers and open-necked shirts, overseeing what has been viewed as a cultural change at the famous school.
Mr Henderson once suggested he might get rid of Eton’s traditional tailcoats and is known to be interested by modern management techniques.
In 2016, he announced plans to split Eton’s deputy head-master role into two, creating one deputy head for ‘academic’ affairs and another for ‘pastoral’ matters.
He has also created a new role of ‘director of inclusion education’ to oversee diversity at Eton, and made a woman the Lower Master, or deputy head, for the first time.
The little red raindrop has sixteen bathrooms.
Prince Harry SAVAGED for having 16 baths after latest environmental speech backfired (3 Dec)
I won’t bother to look up how many pools the mansion also has.
You think Covid is bad, you should see the sexually transmitted disease Harry Windsor caught.
“There are two things that are compulsory at English public schools, and one of them is Rugby.” Julian Clary.
But the left just don’t care — look at all the Demoncrat loons in the US the Demoncrat governors and mayors who party on in crowds no mask-wearing while preaching to the public to lockdown and don’t get together for thanksgiving — then feign contriteliness and while laughing behind their hands at the rubes. What a ghastly lot. Harry is now just a sad little man with his manhood captive in the Meghan’s handbag.
Lol
Will Meghan be using Harry’s cojones as baubles to decorate their Christmas tree? Or does she wear them as earrings? Even George III at his most deranged wouldn’t have babbled rubbish like this.
Wills is just as bad.
I’m afraid so.
I’m beginning to contemplate what form of republicanism I could reasonably support.
Here’s hoping that Betty Windsor doesn’t die of shame any time soon – it’s a tribute to her steely determination and love of her subjects and role that she hasn’t.
Best case scenario for the ‘oose of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is that she outlives Chilla “the tampon” Big Ears.
Otherwise I’ll have to become one of this country’s most Cromwellesque republicans – and watch out, Pedro FitzSimians, when that happens.
It is better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln – I always thought the words were spoken by Otto Von Bismark.

One without Pirate Pete, Lord Waffleworth and the Australian parliament would be a start. I fear we could still end up with Queen Kylie or King Shane.

Excruciating. Both lines could be easily inserted into “Imagine”.
Is there truth to the Hollywood rumour of a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with racial and gender neutrality?
…And getting excluded from the Royal Family is what he gets for messing with his Granny!
Lesson: Never, Ever, trod on toes several times bigger than your own!
What do you expect from a coupling of a Spencer and a Hewitt!
To Bronson at 9.57am, who said:
“‘Every sperm is sacred’, Monty Python The Meaning of Life.”
That is a specifically Roman Catholic sentiment.
The Pommy Royal Family is believed to have abjured that sentiment at some point prior to Harry’s conception.
Shit, that would be funny.
Lifting a line from a greeting card.

It’s not widely known that the Church of England was opposed to contraception up until 1930, and even then approved of it only in certain circumstances.
And its advocates say that “climate change” is not a modern day religion, or some sort of New Age mysticism …

Err…..Maximum condensation?

It’s an apocalyptic cult promoted by people who stand to make a lot of money from the changes it demands.
It was also against blessing the (re-)marriages of divorcees with living spouses, and then changed and the Archbishop of Canterbury (no less) blessed Charles’ “marriage” to Camilla. A slippery slope that has led the Anglican Church to the precipice of blessing another civilly contracted but biblically condemned form of “marriage”.
What if every single one of us was a raindrop
Yeah, and what if everyone of us was a snowflake like you? Idiot.
A slippery slope that has led the Anglican Church to the precipice of blessing another civilly contracted but biblically condemned form of “marriage”.
No matter what church courts may opine, a church cannot bless what God does not bless.
A same sex couple cannot “go forth and multiply”.
At best its absurd, at worst it’s a lie.
But we digress.
… and the greatest scientific hoax in human history.
The Ginger Prince directly lifted that from a tweet that became a brief meme many months ago.
I cant recall. But either Disraeli or Bernard Shaw said that if a chambermaid was as thick as Queen Victoria, then she would be committed. It looks like the young prince has definitely inherited that family trait.
Henry the 8 was a complete homicidal bastard and probably also very intelligent, but he would throw his erstwhile “family” into the Tower as worthless imbeciles.
Risking digress.. have to say Anglican Church politics is like a mirror image of the Western World.
Conservative majority & progressive minority.. but the majority is split between the those who would uphold their values and those willing to compromise for the sake of “can’t we all get along?”
When push comes to shove, the compromising conservatives join with the progressives to whittle away at what we traditionally hold as right.
It happened in the Anglican Church with the ordination of women and now blessings of same sex civilly contracted marriages. And it happened in the secular world with the SSM vote, when a large number of compromising conservatives tilted the result from what should rightly have been a “No” vote.
Fantastic title, CL. Bravo.
My Essex ancestors were Puritans and great supporters of Cromwell , so we have a history of republicanism ,Essex was a hotbed of the Peasants revolt ,they marched into London and killed the lawyers at Inns of Court . Good sort of people those ancient Essex Anglo Saxons .
And Imagine is his favourite song, too?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it. He’s his father’s son and he’s married his mother. The part of his life when he behaved like a man is clearly over.
“Or perhaps join the Conservative party and end up naked on Clapham Common with a pair of ladies tights over your head and an unpeeled orange stuffed in your mouth.”
you left out the duct tape and the rubber chicken.
Fred it’s not too late to follow in your ancestors footsteps.

Lenin…doesn’t sound like an Essex name, Fred.
My Essex ancestors hailed from a market town c. 50 km east of London.
In the Domesday book it was listed as inhabited by 6 villagers, 19 smallholders & 2 slaves.
A few hundred years later the Norman motte and bailey castle had fallen into disrepair and the town later grew up on its site.

As an accountant I say “what’s wrong with that?’
What is it with royal males & divorced American women?
While off your face on LSD, cocaine and horse tranquiliser …
Sir Humphrey,
That was cruel.
We are being lectured, yet again, by an over-entitled celebrity Royal (I use the word advisedly) dimwit who marries an irrelevant (Holly -“holier than thou”-wood) woke, racist slogan bearer with delusions of grandeur. Even more useless than his father (the plant whisperer) and his brother Wills (will I or won’t I, that is the question ).
My 78 year old knob contains more intelleigence than that pair put together.
It’s taken someone like Ricky G to put the lefty cause-celeb mob into their place (sewer), telling them no-one in the real world cares for their ignorant politics and woke causes.
The same could be said of the Queen throughout the Blair era. She either forgot (or never knew) that being seen to do nothing =/= doing nothing.
Poor Harry, married a hollywood nut job lost all his mates and his family. Hope he wakes up goes home, no place for him in Woke World.
Just the sort of stuff that might stir republican sentiments – until we reflect on the list of former PMs who’d be jockeying to be President of Straya.
Pathetic as it is, we’re probably better to stick with the well-oiled local system that includes the Windsors, and keep them at a distance – they’re now basically just fodder for women’s magazines and tabloid TV docos (which I never miss, of course…….)

Nope. COVID-19 is what we get for not nuking China earlier.
I wish he’d shave off that stupid beard.
It’s unsightly for a princess to brandish such facial hair. And no, I don’t care for the argument ‘Oh! he’s an ex-princess now JR, leave him alone, etc.’ The fact of the matter is he is still a member of our most gracious Queen’s family and this reflects poorly upon her.
Well that solves the problem of Harry’s paternity.
Definitely Charlie’s son.
The scum who like to believe they are our betters do not plan on letting you have any choice in the matter. You might be allowed to vote “for” a republic, but our would be Palpatines will decide on the form of a republic thank you very much, which amazingly and coincidently will give them more control over you.
Great sex?
