Oh no Andy I doubt Meghan will be " suitable"

allen, if the total wealth of the country was shared equally between the inhabitants, we would still end up with the rich and the poor because some would use it wisely and some wouldn’t. Your Utopian dream is unworkable.

I'm a big fan of Wills and his family, plus the Queen and Philip and Harry of course. Couldn't give a fig for the rest of them. I think Wills should be left alone by the moaning media !

[sp1814]

Absolutely not.

So he's on holiday?

So he dances badly?

So he missed the Commonwealth Day event?

So what?

We've all done the first two, and I bet the vast majority hadn't even heard of the last one.

The Press are doing that thing of 'build them up / knock 'em down'.

He doesn't deserve it.

Nice to see he has roughly the same dance moves as his dad though.

Duke and Duchess toasted with Guinness on St Patrick's Day

Before embarking on a two-day trip to Paris on Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a St Patrick's Day parade at the Irish Guards' barracks in Hounslow, west London.

The royal couple then had lunch with some of the soldiers and their families, where they were given pints of Guinness before being given three cheers by their hosts.

If the Duchess drunk all that Guinness, I bet I wasn't the only person today that had to find an emergency place to pee !

And I wonder how royals got to be owner of these private estates ? Years of dedicated hard work no doubt. Sets an example to all the workshy peasants.

[Old_Geezer]

Ah, I now see this point has been discussed.

Er...the clue is in the title - "Royal Families" tend to be very rich, lead a privileged life and don't graft like steelworkers. This situation has prevailed throughout history, but the schoolchildren running the media these days don't seem to know this - like.
I would bet that our Royals have put in much more effort than any of their predecessors either here or in foreign Royal Families.
