Currently in Labour is the Princess, haven't been religiously following it but I'm reckoning there's a good chance the kid will be my Queen/King someday.
Though Harry would be my personal choice for King

I hope Kate is doing well and that the baby is healthy, But i feel no loyalty to the royal family.
Just another bunch of self important Tax sponges IMO.

Somebody take the pain away, It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain. So send me to the pharmacy, So I can lose my memory. |

Honestly the queen has been better bang for buck than any other world leader.
Loyalty is earnt not given. I am an ardent monarchist though.
Should be interesting to see what we get.
Girl would be good, imo our best rulers have been queens. If we get Vicky 2.0 we shall conquer space.... ALL of it. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

You know that the tax spongers are the inverse 3 times over right?

Hence why I would pick Harry, front line action and deception to get himself deployed and in the thick of it. Till the press got wind of it of course, we wouldn't have known and he would be in combat, can't remember the last royal to be in actual combat to be frank.

Prince Andrew faced enemy fire in the Falklands.
Prince Philip saw lots of action in WW2.
King George the VI saw lots of action in WW1.

I stand corrected.
I had been under the impression they were in uniform, but not in any real danger.

Watch that, then tell me if you still think they are tax sponges.
As for loyalty towards the crown, does the royal family have any political power ? |

She is still head of the military and I think she still has the power to disolve parliment and the right to take any land in the nation. If the government did something truely bad she might speak out and chances are the nation would back her up. But that would need a very special kind of **** up. |

Bah!
Olly Cromwell, and the French, had the right idea.
The British Monarchy is a representation of everything that is outdated, old fashioned and just plain obsolete with the UK.
I am not a total anti-monarchist, but I do believe we should go for a very much slimmed down and more in tune with the 21 centaury monarch. Something along the lines of the Dutch, Danish, or Norwegian models of monarchy. |

May need to correct that. Current media coverage negates that idea utterly. |

A lot of what is appealing about our monarchy is the history that goes with it, its the oldest existing constitutional monarchy in the world dating back to around 1689. The tradition, pomp and circumstance attract load of tourists, and their money into the UK.
The idea of a monarchy might seem outdated, but the image that the royal family project of the UK around the world is good for business.

I love how people get bent out of shape if you say the royals are a tax sponge. They are a tourist attraction... probably the only decent one we have.

Unfortunately, the US celebrates and burns all that the media tells us to It just depends on which media outlet the individual listens to as to which you are doing on any individual topic..... and yes there is neo-conservative media in the States, just not a whole lot of it. |

Just as long as it is not Joffrey... though personally, I like Stannis I. Forum-unbanned since 2011.10.20.

As I understand their systems, they basically have a KIng or Queen, who is the only one paid by the government, the rest of the blue blood hanger ons have to work like real people do. Also they don't own great tracts of land which they use to inflate their already obscene wealth. Hell, the way the American make a fuss over our Royals, I don't know whey we just don't 'Transport' them all to our ex-colony and see if they can still sponge off folks as they do over here. |

The monarchy is a soap opera for people too snobbish to buy heat magazine.
I wonder why it's taking so long to get a picture of the lizard hatchling, they are probably having trouble calibrating its hologram. |
