Would you employ a Royal ?

[modeller]

On the the basis of their inherent talent and intellectual ability ( not their money ) how many of the nobility would be able to earn a good living. ?

[VHG]

Prince Charles is very intelligent and could easily earn a living. I think the same applies to Priness Anne. Not sure about the other two children though.

The Duke of Edinburgh could get a job with the Commission for Racial Equality (as it was called) due to his skill in dealing with ethnic minorities :-)

I am not sure Fergie counts as one of the nobility.

Um - no I think I'll pass thanks.

joe royle was one of the best headers of the ball in the 1960s

After yesterdays' illumination about Fergie, I can only think of her as a con artist,she's been shown up for what she is now.

I think Prince Charles would be ok for Town and Country Planning, Edward has a natural bent (I use that term adviseably)for film/tv. Ann for Public Relatiions. Beatrice Ok as a gargoyle going by the pic in todays Express.

None of them; they're all as thick as two short planks.Chinless wonders and inbreds.

Prince Andrew could be a 'meeter and greeter' at a golf club.

And Charles might have been a great architect.

[Zeuhl]

Very foolish and short-sighted of the Royals not to have paid off Fergie with a good pension in the first place on the condition she kept her head down, her nose clean and stayed quiet.

She has always been a 'loose cannon' and they must be stupid or remarkably unconcerned about public opinion not to have seen this coming; some form of major embarassment was inevitable some time.

[Zeuhl]

Prince Edward would be great running a TV Production Company ... oh no, hang on a minute ...

[sandyRoe]

Running one into the ground?

[jno]

vast numbers of Britons earn a good living with neither inherent talent nor intellectual ability, so I don't see why the royals should be any different. They're not specially bright but not specially dumb either. I think Charles is an old reactionary... except that I agree with most of what he says about architecture, so perhaps I'm one too.

As for being inbred, that's the whole point: they're not. Neither Fergie nor Diana was anything like royal; nor was Mark Philips, Antony Armstrong-Jones, Sophie...

[youngmafbog]

Depends what you mean by a good living.

[olddutch]

I agree with Gran - she really knows a thing or two !
