Although apparently, being an increasingly frail 91 year-old woman isn't a good enough excuse for this rampant prick. :shakehead:

It's the begiining of the end, b. You know what's coming, don't you? His Royal Lunatic Highness the Prince of Making This Country A Republic Inside Ten Years. :-(Quote:

I fear that he's worse than 'a bit of a div' and might well become a vocal, proselytising loony for any number of nonsensical causes.Quote:

Jolly right too. Think of all the millions we'll make selling off those ridiculous palaces and castles.Quote:

I don't know. I think he's been pretty successfully inculcated with the duties, responsibilities and limitations of being a constitutional monarch over a lifetime. I suspect he'll be less vocal than people think.Quote:

Perhaps so, but it's also very pro-Her Maj. Either way, his tweet went down like a cup of cold sick and he deleted it amidst everyone telling him what a cùnt he is.Quote:

Apart from being vicious, nasty and spectacularly ill-judged, the whole "I'm a loyal subject" thing he starts with is the kind of pomposity that turns some of us off about royalism in the first place. And he's clearly not that much of a loyal subject given what he goes on to say about a frail old lady, he's an unpleasant, self-important little cùnt.Quote:

Stockholm Syndrome imo. He came to love his abuser.Quote:

Very succinctly put Ash. I was going to called him an odious little pustule but I think you have hit the nail squarely enough.Quote:

Although I bet the inside of his jag smelt of ale and scotch egg farts.
He 'had' various ladies but only in a 'mooning around quoting poetry' style. My belief is that he was returned to his maker virgo intacto.Quote:

It's also a bit of a trope in detective fiction / tv drama. Holmes and Watson. Piorot and Hastings.Quote:
