I'm glad we had the Revolution!!
William seems ok, and I liked his mom. She wasn't "royal" tho-- only a mere commoner, sob.
Wills actually seems to do a little work. He's a handsome devil too--takes after his mom, not his dad, thank goodness.
I think thats very reasonable 64p....
If it was £6.40 even i wouldnt mind......
If it was more though id go mad.....
As for the actual royals,,,,well im impartial i guess...

The Royals? Worst team in baseball, yet again. Glad I'm not a fan.

The royals are a bit of a joke these days, but at 64p they can stay.

I take it the price of security isnt included in this,35 million sounds very little.

They're a bargain at twice the price.

Waste of money. Depose them and get a president instead.

Diana was not a commoner but she was quite common.
I could never understand the love affair the public had with her. She was a bubble headed ditz whom Charles should never have married. She didn't know how to act like a royal. Diana flaunted her liason with Dodi in an attempt to poke the royals in the eye with a stick.
It is sad that she died in so tragic a way but Diana was a joke.

Diana Spencer was considered a commoner by the Royal Family.
Even the aristocracy and nobility are considered common if they are not born royalty.
Elizabeth Boyes-Lyon, the queen mum, was considered common.
This is how they look at things--correct me if I'm wrong, Red!
As for Di, she struck me as a kindly and caring woman who did a lot for the disenfranchised, the sickly, and the homeless. She was a gazillion times better than Charles, and from a better family,--- his are basically parvenues.
After hundreds of years and a few unsuccessful attmepts, the Spencers will finally take the throne.
Long live King William.

Probally one of the reasons she was bumped off,there was reports of a white Fiat chasing her car when it crashed,French police could only come up with 2 white Fiats of the same model,one of these cars was owned by a British journalist,Alan Adamson I think you called him,he was suspected to have links to MI6,he came up with a pretty thin alibi for being somewhere else during the accident.Two months later he died in a mysterious car accidet in the South of France,his body was only identified by dental records.
