I'm sure she'll be under pressure to renounce so that she doesn't have to disclose things like gifts the royal family gives her on a 3520. I guess keeping separate accounts would keep the IRS from having access to his bank balances.

I know you intended that as a dig at Americans.

But truth be told, that statement says more about you than it does us.

Not true, Godfather.

I am just pointing out that the Royal Family bring in a lot of money through tourism etc. I am not a royalist by any means but to get rid of them would be silly.

And I know at one point the Kennedys were thought of as America’s Royal Family but now it is the Kardashians.

The British monarchy gets $48 Million a year from parliament. Supposedly, for every $0.75 in tax dollars that is given to them, it generates $3.00. You think they are going to end something that brings in that much tax revenue?

Why? Why do you let it bother you? People can have an interest in whatever they want.

They did it 140 years bf the French did. They later restored the monarchy but made sure that Parliament was more powerful.Worked out a helluva lot better than the French in the long run too.

They're 250+ years late on rising up and beheading all of the monarchy. What's taking so long?

I'm pretty sure Oliver Cromwell and the boys got around to that a while back. Then, when the monarchy was restored after Cromwell died, the royalist got their revenge by digging his corpse up and executing him even though he was already dead.

Better question is when will Islam mature as a religion. They are kind of still stuck in the kind of mindset Christianity was when we went around burning witches and heretics and such. I guess Islam did start a few hundred years later so maybe they'll give up all of the crazy stuff at some point.

Doesn’t the queen have some say in who is PM? I know it is based on the House of Commons but I think she still gets a say in the process.

why do you care OP? Did the wedding preempt a wrestling match you wanted to watch? Rather than melting over one of the last vestiges of refinement and elegance, why don’t you fix the skirting in your trailer? I’m sure it blew over in the storms yesterday. Or maybe you can run down to Academy and buy another fishing shirt to wear to the next wedding you attend.

Dude. It’s all symbolic, a major party and Soap Opera-ish. Let people have some fun. Bet you skip Bacchus and Endymion too.

It wasn’t a win. Neither side won. Neither side achieved what they wanted with the war. Both sides were unhappy with the negotiations and in the peace treaty agreed to just go back to the pre-war conditions.
