The Royal Family - Who Is Being a Jerk?

[c.d.]

There seems to be no shortage of dirty laundry and no one appears to be smelling like a rose.

Easily detectable lies/inconsistencies were told in the interview. But that doesn’t matter in today’s world (perhaps it never did).

The poor darlings left the U.K. because the tabloid press here was being horrible to them. CBS filled the screen with examples of really nasty headlines to prove the point. For some strange reason, though, they omitted to include the names of the papers involved.

Imagine my surprise when I looked a few of them up to see which papers were spouting this ugly stuff and discovered they weren’t U.K. papers at all. They were US tabloids - that’s right the US, the place where the publicity shy couple went to seek refuge from press intrusion.

No one really is more of a Jerk than the other IMHO. The inner circle of the UK Royal Family are living in a bubble carefully constructed of protocol and tradition. It is not surprising to me that they still hold views and attitudes that belong to the early part of the last century. What my own dad did to me in the eighties is pretty much on par compared to Prince Charles stopped answering Harry's calls. And my dad certainly was no Royal....

Then again, Charles in particular is at least attempting to use his status for the greater good by promoting environmentally sensible agriculture throughout Europe or to integrate with the wider community in general.

However, im just not interested in the internal politics of another family, I have enough of that on my own...

Finally, I don't understand Harry's motivation to wash his dirty laundry in public. It just makes it all no better and therefore no more relevant than a common garden episode of Jerry Springer.

Cheers.

Ask yourself a question. Would you go on tv and tell a bunch of porkies about your 95-year-old granny-in-law? Or moan with a straight face that your daddy had cut you, a healthy 36-year-old former soldier, off financially , leaving you and your independently wealthy wife struggling to survive on the millions your mummy and great granny had left you?

I’d rather have both legs removed without anaesthesia.

Harry and Megan?

It's good to see a young family getting off of state benefits and into employment. I hope it's an example the rest of the extended family can follow.

The royals - "Shameless" with posh people.

Very confusing but yet interesting to us Yanks (well sort of). Don't really know what is going on. So can someone from across the pond enlighten me? Who is being the jerk in all this? Is it the Queen? Will and Kate? Harry and Meghan? What exactly is going on?

Your opinion please.
