I'm confused so I'll quote you Scoob: I just do see the point in this day and age of a royal family? So by your own admission you DO see the point of having the Royal Family. Or did you forget "Do not" see the point. My English friends think the Scots politically have their cake and they eat it to. Are Scots really cheap tastards Scooby?

I think the "off with their heads" phrase might be a clue Rolling Eyes

Personally, I think the princes are pieces of cake...how'd they turn out so well? Their mum would be so proud...they are so not like their grandmother...all stodgy and protocol.

@scooby-doo cv,
I have never believed in primogeniture - being famous and beloved and exalted because of an accident of birth.

The princes are adorable - but no more so than many other young people of their peer group - many of whom are far more intelligent than William and Harry. Publicity can sway so many heads it always amazes me.

Royalty is one of the most successful and long lasting publicity games known to mankind excepting war.

I have often suggested the poor belabored citizens paying their 'national dues' in the U.K. (which many can ill afford even with all their benefits also well publicized around the world)... may save quite a bit of money if they simply take some lovely pictures and buy a potted plant - put the display of historical and notable figures in a sanctifed museum and promote tourism in a big way and release the rather mundane Windsor clan to their country castles as in only necessary for the immediate members, and leave them in peace.

As they wish they could raise their own funds by conducting tours of their homesteads - as so many other high ranking foo fahs....who carry thousand year old titles - meaning nothing of worth to the British taxpayers.

I see your point. I think Diana was the best thing to happen to the monarchy...she made the royals, accessible, finally, and somewhat ended the mystique, exposing warts and all.

@scooby-doo cv,
The way things are going the will be speaking farsi. A young girl in England was told not to wear a ring on her finger because of the religious implication engraved on the ring. However, there is nothing said about other girls in school from the middle east that wear towels on their heads and wear religious jewelry.
