No we're not in europe. We're in the USA and all we ever see is the British royal family on TV on the talk shows on everything. Occasionally there might be some story about some beautiful Norwegian or Dutch royal family that we never heard of before and it's only because they're extremely good looking I get the feeling but that's it. I had no idea any other countries over there had royal families. Who else has a royal family besides Spain?
so what youre saying is... you didnt know spain had a royal family...
... because tv didnt tell you.
half of europe has royal families, and almost all of them descend through Christian IX of Denmark... on both sides. Elizabeth and Prince Phillip were second cousins. Or er... Nicholas of Montenegro which doesnt exist anymore. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, UK, Belgium, Spain are Kingdoms. Pretty much all of them at some point has actually been ruler of the others except Spain and UK. Andorra, Lichtenstein, Monaco and i think San Marino are Principalities (Princes) Luxembourg is a Duchy (Duke)
Then theres asia....
If its a Kingdom, Principality or Duchy it has a royal family running it.
Dutch Royal Family likes to play hunting games with rich people involving children. UK Royal family has naked people trying to climb out windows while news cameras are at the front gate for an entirely different reason. Belgian empire hands down the nastiest of the colonial nations in Africa, didnt give a single solitary fuck until the 70s. Nothing short of the stereotype of slave nation the blacks put on whites. The fun just keeps going.
It also just illustrates how weird the whole idea of royal families is today. Especially when people walk by and they bow or curtsy. Don't think I'd be bowing or curtsying to anybody these days. However I do respect tradition and the fact that they're trying to keep some bit of European culture alive and the gentile nature of their parties and things although it's pretty obvious seems like mostly old people.
Glad to see it hasn't been replaced by P Diddy worshiping type youth yet.
im dual national english/aussie born and grew up in aus spent about 2 years in uk. my grandmas biggest goal in life was to hold on until she was 100 so she got her telegram from the queen (didnt quite make it) i think for a hell of a lot of non hardcore but still traditional poms all the shit that went down between Charles and Diana was a bit of an eye opener, and as an adult now who remembers her... man she was running like fuck from something, and i suspect its got something to do her catching Handy Andy doing something to her kids and being told to suck it up, but going in to full 'mum' mode and getting fucked over for it.
Its very difficult to imagine the UK or English people without a monarch, even as a far more of an aussie than a pom... im conservative and the United Kingdom is, was, and always should be the Kingdom it is, but i sure as shit dont support any ruler of any type who gets involved in... fucking bad shit. And lets face facts, its looking far more like the monarchies still running around the world... are behind the curtains, all nasty nasty fucking people. If that means hanging the lot of them, so be it... the other upside is... the actual dude who is MEANT to be on the throne... would be Simon Abney-Hastings 15th Earl Loudon.... from Jerilderie, New South Wales.
Go look up the picture of Kate Middleton on the night she was in a 'fashion show' that William just happened to be attending... she looks far more like a trafficking victim than a model who caught a dudes eye.
As for the Meghan thing - Edward VIII was forced to Abdicate the throne, because he wanted to marry... an american divorcee. this was in the middle of WWII, and they literally had to send him as far as fucking away as possible because he was cosying up to... Hitler. A royal marriage actually has to have the consent of UKs parliament for those reasons. Theres the whole hardcore christian 'no divorcees' part... and then theres the other. An american citizen as the legal spouse of the british monarchy...
which gives the IRS a direct legal demand on the UK treasury. How does the poltroon file her taxes? How much does she earn? Whats her occupation? Aaaaaaaaaaaaand what do government depts like the IRS do? Why they like to claim whatever the living fuck they like, then writing laws and regulations to justify it, then go after that person... "divorce? Divorce? Well siree billybob under US law Meghans entitled to half of what hes got!" once upon a time... that was literally literal. As in, either sovereign nations being split, or...
Thats the kind of shit that used to start wars.
thank fuck hes nowhere near the top of the pile and already cut off... theres a fucking reason for that going down behind the scenes. looks like exactly that might be looming very close on the horizon, plus Chuck looking like he aint gonna last long, and now the next in lines wife ALSO apparently getting cancer treatment....
i think there might be a major change coming soon.
