Or someone whose life will be charted, examined in detail and exploited by the media, so they will never have the same privacy & freedoms you and I are fortunate enough to enjoy.
None of us gets the choice, but I would rather have the life of one of my kids than one of theirs.0 -
I did feel sorry a bit for Kate yesterday. 10 hours after giving birth, blow dry makeup on and then paraded in front of the world'so media.
I get bored when people I know constantly post on Facebook about their children so I'm even less interested in a stranger's baby.
When the current monarch's reign ends that should be it. No more Royals.0 -
That's rather a mean spirited thing to say, because (returning to the topic of this Forum; HBR&S...) as, in effect, the Royals are recipients of one of the largest HB settlements in the UK, but as they also have a couple of the largest gaffs in the country, the family, especially great-granny Liz, must be paying back a stonking sum in [STRIKE]Bedroom Tax[/STRIKE] -sorry, Spare Room(s) Supplement.Who cares? It's just another mouth for the tax payer to feed.
So looked at that way, the exchequer is probably in credit?0 -
Nice theory AlexMac.

An alternative way to look at it being that they will (probably) never be on the receiving end of:
- zero hours contracts
- National Minimum Wage
- lower income if ill
- having "targets" to meet at work
- wondering when (or indeed if) they will be able to buy their house/next house up ladder
- knowing they will probably be made to wait for any healthcare they need (if, indeed, they can get it at all)
Not such a bad deal then put like that....and, in return, they keep their mouth firmly shut about any personal opinions they have (and that way everyone thinks they agree with them...when in actual fact they might have the total opposite opinion).0 -
Bully for them, nice to know she'll never have to worry about getting a mortgage ... pain in the ar*e viewers, surveys and disappearing buyers...
...Yes not the right forum.0
