No the royal family are from Germany originally and royal families were renowned for inbreeding to keep the blood lines "Pure" this lead to malformations. The comment was still stupid.
All you Europeans are somewhat related. White people **** anything back then in every continent. I bet ya **** Penguins and Seals down south as well cause there's no one to see to catch ya.
not being A ******* High Headed asshole who doesn't do **** and is extremely rich is my point. their money does not get to their heads is my point I bet they made lots of poor friends in their military.
I meant their down to Earth attitude. rich still fight a long peasants you get mme? Idgaf who they are at least they are not dicks about being rich I know Harry is but the older dude seems like a better one to be a role model
They weren't actually in any danger, they had to do it because of tradition and **** . I don't know them personally but I wouldn't exactly say they're good role models for being born rich then joining the military for a while because they had to
Yeah that's great and everything but there's plenty more people in the army more worthy of role models, the only difference is these guys are super rich. Don't be under the impression that all English people love the Royal family or are interested in anything they do. I only know that Harry got a D because of a comedian.
Harry helped the Gurkha troops repel a Taliban attack, and patrolled hostile areas of Afghanistan during his first tour.
During his second tour, he served as an Apache co-pilot and gunner.
William served on the HMS Iron Duke and was part of a joint operation with the US Coast Guard that captured a speedboat carrying 900kg of cocaine. He then moved onto being a search-and-rescue pilot, and then an air ambulance pilot.
Sure back in the day when they were basically glorified tribe leaders. I don't think we should have them at all. And definitely those two shouldnt be princes of Wales.
I think if you volunteer it shouldn't be influenced by family or anything that's not you though, which I suspect they have been.
I don't understand why people want to abolish the Royals.
They give more money back to the economy than they take, they have little to no real power so they do not run our country and they add a level of prestige to our country that others simply do not have.
Why get rid of them? They're nothing but a benefit to our society. The nation loves them and the world does too. Whats the problem?
The money they 'give back' is basically tourism buildings and history.
If the Royals go does the history go to? 'Will it not be there when I get back? '
They get given high level documentation, tell me they're not involved with running the country? The Prince Charles letters basically say bollocks to that notion fy ffrind.
Yeah the world loves them so much that commonwealth countries are taking them off the money amongst other things.
"The World" doesn't just mean the common wealth. The world loves the royal family because they're exotic, different and exiting. Remember when Kate was pregnant? The world went crazy over the birth of a future King. You cannot buy that publicity.
Of course the common wealth is removing her from their money. She has little connections with their country and is a hold over from our colonial past. Its different for the UK because she sits on the throne here, but on the other side of the planet in Australia why should they have her on their money?
Also, **** yeah history goes too. How many people going to France too see old castles or palaces that monarchs haven't lived in for over a hundred years? How about Germany? Poland? Italy? All monarchies at one point or another, no royal tourism.
And i'll tell you; They are not involved in running the country. At all. If the Queen actually started to try running the country the monarchy would be abolished. Sure they have influence, but so do multi billion pound companies. Should we abolish them too?
Do you think people should be treated differently and revered, given every oppurtunity and the best of everything, because they had different parents to you?
Get off your high horse. Do you honestly think the Royal Family is going for the same Jobs Joe Blog goes for? No, they're job is full time royalty.
Sure they get the best education around but they don't go into business or trades with them, they go to galas and balls and political events.
People who dislike the royals dislike them out of principle. There is no ecomonic or social reason to get rid of the monarchy people just get pissy that someone has a crow which, in this day and age, means **** all.
Well it is an old tradition. Most members of British royalty have done at least some military service. Here you can see Queen Elizabeth in her WW2 uniform.
They go into combat ops. Harry(the red head) in particular has been in a few fire fights in Afghanistan as part of an Apache team and served two tours in Afghanistan whereas Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has served in the RAF as a search and rescue pilot and air ambulance but i dont recall any royals being wounded recently.
Correct me if am wrong but I thought it was a requirement to earn there title by joining the armed forces for a few year sort of like a royal family military service, I thing its something to to with an order of chivalry (A type of knighthood, those huge breast stars they where on there uniform).
Most of them are wearing the Order of the Garter as a Royal Knight of the Garter; the award is effectively by merit of their status in the immediate Royal Family - a lot of foreign royalty are also awarded and able to wear such.
It's just a tradition to serve in the armed forces; they don't need to do it in order to assume their royal status or any such thing.
who don't rich people like him and trump just get hair implants. its expansive and long processes where they re plant hair in your head and it grows and **** like real hair. tosh.0 guy did it. he was balding in season 1
Redheads>Gingers. It's not the same thing. And If you are a guy, you physicall appearance has almost no matter to survive. Even Stephen Hawking had 3 hoes. Everything, what you need to do, is ability to raise childrens.
