Bitter old bean

Now before you start reading this, you had better know that I am going to be coming across like a bitter old bean.
Now I have got that out of the way I can also state that while I am not a republican, neither am I a royalist.
So I reckon now you might have some idea where this is going.

I respect the Queen. I think she is an incredible woman. Who would be doing what she does at her age?
Lots of foreign visitors come to this country to get a taste of the place and because we have a Royal family.

So in that respect I think she earns her corn.

I also like William and Kate.
Prince Charles and his horse faced Mare can go and take a running jump....I have no respect for either of these characters.

Andrews girls are also just 'hangers on'....and serve little useful purpose.

I used to quite like Harry.
He seemed a down to earth sort of person, maybe a bit daft at times, but then he was young and young folk do daft things....it is all part of learning.

However, I have changed my mind on him since he married Meghan Markle.....a z list celebrity of dubious repute....it seems that she wants to come into the Royal family and politicise it.
Harry says he wants a 'normal' life....a life where he can be a 'joe bloggs'.
I wonder if that includes doing a real job of work.
One where he is not supported by tax payers money.
If that is what he wants then I am sure it would be easy for him to revoke his titles....and get himself down to the job centre.

That said, I don't think that is in keeping with Meghan ambitions.
She appears to want something different....a high profile ambassadorship, promoting goodness knows what....whatever seems 'woke' this season.
Trashing traditional values held by the Royal family...seeing this as bringing it 'up to date'.

Now they have produced an offspring, we cannot open a newspaper or magazine without some gushing report on this event....complete with pictures of the pair who value their privacy so much, a stage managed photocall was arranged.
Seeing all these column inches devoted to these two also provokes me to ask the question 'What bad news are politicians hiding while the country are sucking up this pap'?
Cynical....I know, but that is how the media operate.

Poor Archie(a coffin dodgers name) to be saddled with these two mismatched individuals as parents.
(And I do not believe this baby was born when they said...he looked more than a week old to me...but what do I know)

Between them they have no integrity.
They crowed that they had duped the public....telling us that Meghan was in early labour, when she had had the Baby hours earlier.
If they will lie about that, then what other crap would they feed us to look good?
What does that say about this pairs respect for the people whose money keeps them in the style to which we would all like to be accustomed?

The comments that 'they are so in love' makes me feel like I have gorged on sugared almonds....pass me a bucket someone...please.

I know not everyone will see this from my point of view.
I watched as a couple of old birds got so excited about the birth I thought they might just pee themselves.
I don't 'get' it.....and I feel irritated by these members of the Royal family.

If I never heard of them or saw them again....it would be one month too soon.

Anyway, I told you I would sound like a bitter old bean.
