..Well allow me to explain. We don't see ourselves here as having the royals "forced" on us any more. We knocked back republicanism last time because the majority of people (in a majority of states) were happy with the system we have. The consitutional monarchy with QE2 as "Queen of Australia", We are happy with it because it's stable and it works for us..even if it doesn't for you.Quite independent of you (Britain) Australians simply like..or love the Queen. We always have. She came here the first time as a radiant young woman and now she is like a dignified old granny. Philip we have tolerated. Anne we think is an arrogant, rude and sad woman. Andrew is a zero. Edward is?...well what is he really. His wife is nice though. WE have watched Charles being bullied and ridiculed relentlessly by his own people all his life. But m,ost of us think he is a good bloke, My brother was a cabinet minister in WA some decades ago. He met Charles twice on the occasion of his visits to WA and on one he sat next to him at a dinner. Charles said to him.."I love coming here (Australia) I feel so much more accepted among you than I do in my own country sometimes" Anyway we don't have the same kind of disdain for your royals as you seem to have. When QE2 dies, I think it will be the end of the lot of them..for you and everyone else. Secondly Meghan. To us she is still Rachel Zane, lawyer. We loved Suits. We like her. And we like Harry; and we like Oprah. So we'll watch it. Bad taste?..Dunno. If it is well I guess that is our cross and we'll bear it..
PS. I have a pair of pink socks and an old safari suit deep in my wardrobe somewhere. NOw THAT is bad taste...
I like the safari socks bit Keezoy 😃😃
But at least they have a purpose?
They let your knees get brown, and also protect your legs from spider
and scorpion bites !!
Whereas the royals seem to be purposeless, especially the Arry &
Meg duo!!
But as you say, it is our cross to bear
I tend to pity them actually as nobody chooses their parents do they ?
Arry is over 40 yrs old now and l think he should have outgrown all
his childhood perceptions by now?
Anyway , good luck with with the royal watching , I'm going back
to Eurosport replays now it's all we've got over here !!
Donkeyman! 👎😭😭👎
