Oh the agony of being a fabulously wealthy professional party guest.Oh yes, I think it must have been a tremendous strain. Always having to be polite no matter how tired you are, never being free to go where you want, endless engagements, which you need to be informed about. and never being able to express your personal views on political matters. They lack the freedom most of us take for granted.
She was told no you can’t go to the bathroom right now, like us plebs were in kindergarten, has to have tea and a conversation with someone falling all over themselves to be polite once a week…arduous. How can a mortal cope with such strain?Raised by a Nanny who rewarded her for waiting to urinate, because in the middle of an official engagement they cannot just say "Hold on, I need a wee."
Oh, and having to have tea with every Prime Minister, every week, even if she could not stand the person, and while she does not have the vote.
Wait...does A.Windsor have the right to vote out of this?
Personally I think that punishment would be prison.That's not 100% clear year yet whether it's a true "loss" in a sense we'd think of it.
Andrew will move into King Charles' remote private estate amid Jeffrey Epstein scrutiny
The Sandringham Estate was the private home of the last six British monarchs and is located in one of the U.K.’s least densely populated counties.www.nbcnews.com
Getting relocated from one mansion to another out in the country side, and receiving a healthy annual stipend from the King isn't exactly a punishment.
Punishment for him would be "you get the boot from the Royal Lodge, and you'll have to go work at the Tesco and rent your own flat at your own expense"
No, those were in addition to all the rest, not that it matters if you want to fall for the illusion that her life was just an absolute breeze all the way through.She was told no you can’t go to the bathroom right now, like us plebs were in kindergarten, has to have tea and a conversation with someone falling all over themselves to be polite once a week…arduous.

Yeah, she may have had to dress herself unaided once or twice. Not a breeze at all.No, those were in addition to all the rest, not that it matters if you want to fall for the illusion that her life was just an absolute breeze all the way through.
She wasn't a socialite who could party as she pleased and spend her money as she chose. She was a working royal with great responsibility and a heavy schedule, who had to behave in a certain way, greet endless people with polite conversation, make speeches and be knowledgable about the places she visited and be careful about what she said. (Our Constitution, in Britain, is based on the monarchy being completely apolitical.) I wonder how often she just wanted to be at home with Philip and the family.Oh the agony of being a fabulously wealthy professional party guest.
And yet it's still only allegations! I don't think anyone should be named until proven guilty.Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been removed from the Royal Family website after he lost all his titles last week. Andrew’s name has been removed from official royal family lists, including The Roll of the Peerage on Oct. 31. It was also confirmed that he would leave his 30-room Royal Lodge home and be housed at a property on the King’s private Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
Journalists are having fun with him.

All of this was not her choice and, until the age of ten when her uncle abdicated, not expected.
Very much so. I have no.idea why you don't believe that.“Working”
lol
Something about them never having to lift a finger as long as they live while they are being fawned over in every interaction they have makes it impossible to view what they do as work. Now’s the part where Lizzy cosplaying as an ambulance driver come up right?Very much so. I have no.idea why you don't believe that.
That's not true. They have numerous engagements and responsibilities. I think it must be exhausting to be fawned over, if that's what people are doing. They must long for people to be normal with them.Something about them never having to lift a finger as long as they live while they are being fawned over in every interaction they have makes it impossible to view what they do as work.

Can’t be longing too hard with the lack of abdications to live normal private lives.They must long for people to be normal with them.
I have to give to give Will that one.Any comments about Prince William's military service?
