I Used To Be A Royalist

... until I found out that Kate and William were living together.

Huh?

I thought the modern price for being noble was noble behavior or at least the facade of noble behavior. Living up to ancient codes of conduct and all that rot. Carrying on in the Victorian tradition and leading by example, what?

Other than their fancy clothes and legions of adoring fans, Kate and William can't be distinguished from a modern unmarried British couple playing house so they can shag more conveniently. That makes them ... what? Elton John without the talent? Mascots in ascots?

Forget it. Dump the lot of them.

    Perhaps it's best not to bring Elton John into this...

    Now now, I've been informed that the Queen's son and oldest grandson are generally agreed to be rotters that she can't stand.

    I kinda like the younger son, though. ^.^ For similar reasons to why I kinda like his grandma. They seem like decent folks, even if they are, whatzit, "royals." Of course, my grandma-- who HATED the English-- liked the Queen, too.

    Let them rot? That's kind of harsh. What exactly is wrong with allowing two consenting adults to live out their life together as they see fit?

    Nothing wrong with it at all. They can do it on any deserted island they wish!

    Well, say they live next door to you though. How does their unmarried status negatively affect you (or anyone else for that matter?)

    For real amusement, go to Wikipedia, look up the various fairly-recent British monarchs, and go to the "Marriage" heading. Victoria and Elizabeth II are pretty staid, but the men . . . whoo!

    I particularly liked the succinct bit for William IV, Victoria's immediate predecessor: "At his death William had no surviving legitimate children, though he was survived by eight of the ten illegitimate children he had by the actress Dorothea Jordan, with whom he cohabited for 20 years. "

    Yup. Paragons of moral rectitude, them British Royals.
