I was listening to the news last night which was saying younger generations would much prefer Harry to be King over William…I would like to see the whole Monarchy abolished, however, failing this I agree with the younger generations.

Thinking about it, if Tampon Charlie and ---- Camilia stick around long enough there might not be a role left for either of them. :clap: :lol:
It seems children being dropped on their heads is more common than I imagined 👍

Hmmm. I just searched on line. That survey appears to be from 12 months ago. A lot can change in that time.

Probably the same younger generation whose idea of reality is 'The only way is Essex' and 'The real housewives of Beverley Hills'

And think Gemna Collins is a role model.

Some won't believe it. However some who are anti monarchist will see her as an ally to their cause.

I don't wish to spoil your party but isn’t this the chap who has an affiliation with the cult group, the Moonies?

There aren’t many high-profile figures he hasn’t slated so don’t get to carried away with this load of garbage.

Keefie, there will be lots of so called celebs who support Meghan, and an equal number who don't, none of their mutterings will portray the real truth, and neither you nor I know it either. But my judgement is based on what she and her pet poodle Harry say and do, rather than seeking out someone else's assessment. You would be wise to do the same.

I was already of the same opinion expressed by Australian National University sociology professor Mary Lou Rasmussen, and that of Jayashri Kulkarni, a Monash University professor of psychiatry…

I see the freeloading Wesexses have had their Grenada holiday cancelled…no official explanation has been put forward but it is widely speculated that when the people of Grenada were asked to put up bunting for them, they refused as they hadn't a clue who they were. :problem:

To be fair I think they do know who they are, but the "you must make a faux apology for something you had no control over and never did, but your ancestors may have been involved" brigade did not like it.

I think you're right. Tbh if they want independence and out of the Commonwealth then so be it. Times change.
No doubt the next disaster they have they will be looking to us to help them out.

I think that the Islanders have a great respect for her Maj and probably Charles too but following her demise a new era will dawn and all the also ran Royals will have to pay for their winter holidays like wot the rest of us do.

I note, with the exception of Johns comment none of you Royalists have made any comments regarding the link I posted…Time for reflection on your media induced viewpoints maybe?

Perhaps some thought that there was little, if anything, to comment about on such a biased report - after all the Aussies have been after breaking links with the Monarchy for years.

Cool, in the last month I have been referred to as a Republican and a royalist? :lol:

I did actually skim read the article, but I have so little interest in the royal family and their goings on that I felt it was not really something that I wanted wasting space in my brain. To be honest the bit I read was all about jumping on the 'mental health' and 'poor little me' bandwagons.:)
