His Majesty Prince William to marry

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/1...ed-kate-middleton/?test=latestnews?test=faces

Well looks like ole Bill is going to get married. Good for him. Always seems like a nice guy, and never really hear anything bad about him, or doing something stupid like wearing a swastika to a party ala his brother Harry.

Oddly enough, I was watching the PBS special "Monarchy" which follows the Queen around for a year. I know some people do not favor the monarchy, but lets face it, a Britain with a monarchy would be like men in France without mistresses. lol

Anyway, good on him. Will likely be a huge affair no doubt.


Edit: Can someone edit the title of this thread to read "His Royal Highness" because apparently, "His Majesty" should only be used when addressing a king.

 

It's about time! Living in sin for such a long time is disgraceful at the least.:-D

 

Here ! Here ! Halo, bunch of t**sers get everything for shag all anyway, plus there wages are paid by us !

 

Our taxes pay for everything the Royals do LauraR mad:mad

 

Yep, not yet a King and unlikely to become a King.
He is second-in-line to the throne.

Who knows if Queen Elizabeth may skip her son and "anoint" her grandson to be King? Charles is the King in waiting.... and waiting.... and waiting. He must have p*ssed her off royally.

Personally I don't know if I'd been amused by having received Diana's engagement ring given by Charles. Passing the ring on from a tragic life that resulted in death from one princess to the next to be princess would be yuck, I think. Perhaps others see it differently.

Of course, British economy will prosper with all the tourism and stuff that will be created to be marketed.

 

Just another baby machine to ensure the royal line remains intact.

 

Charles has said he will pay for the wedding but taxes will foot the bill for policing and security that is expected to be in excess of 20 million.

I was a royalist until Charles, who in my opinion should never be on the throne, he is so self centered (just like his father) and can not hold a candle to his mother who has been the last of the royals with any respect for the position they hold.

 

I'm a typical Brit who just doesn't get either:-D Seeing that ring go on her finger seemed obscurely prophetic the marriage doesn't stand has about as much chance of working as RollsRoyce Trent 900 engine,she's like one of the Red uniforms in StarTrek,crewman No.1,she already looks jumpy:-D

One of the things she's head of is the church of England,her and her family set a moral example for us all in the eyes of God rolleyes Her husband has apparently had a string of affairs 'the current king' Her son Andrew got divorced and then her other son had an affair,then of course got divorced and now her grandson has been involved in pre marital fornication.:-D

Sinners!

 

French Canada's royalty, Celine Dion and Rene's wedding was held in Montreal's equivalent cathedral. Ya, they paid their own way but the taxpayer's footed the security bill which most if not all of these fanatics were gladly willing to pay.rolleyes
I don't think they even pay taxes over here anymore.

You yanks can keep her for all I care.uke :-D

 

You got that right Bill.

As Charles said when he got engaged to Diana. .....Whatever love means.... rolleyes Yeah, he loved the already married Camilla but needed a good young breeding machine of good stock to produce heirs.

I noticed that Kate walked a few steps behind William and not at his side. Must be protocol. rolleyes

 

You yanks can have the British royal family from me as well. I don't think they pay taxes here either.

Every year they all flock here to visit which costs us taxpayers a bundle. Why o why do they love us so much that they can't do without us.

 

At least Prince William is looking better than his father who is always tugging at his sleeves or cuff-links and stiff as a marionette. Must not be easy being a prince/princess and always in the limelight.

I used to like princess Margaret. Not as formal as her sister the Queen.

Yeah, mugs on mugs already. Nice pics.

 

To put one thing straight.

Apparently Diana passed the ring down to her son with the suggestion that the ring be used again, when he got engaged.
(from a "Royalty" magazine apparently)
I heard this in an interview with a Royals watcher

If true, "probably" did so prior to her early untimely death. Things were a bit different then.

 

Diana apparently made that decision after her divorce from Charles

If true, still prior to her death when the boys and she were still very young.

 

Whats wrong with this is how Cameron thinks he can give a day off to the workers of the UK when its actually the small businesses that pay for it by and large through wages and lost business if you are not selling mugs and plates.

Its not as if William is King or even next in line, he is an upper class snob who wouldn't even talk to someone who had to actually earn a living from work unless the press were there.

Cameron must think we are all victorian idiots doffing caps and being grateful. We are not, wake up, smell the 21st century.
