why anyone gives a f*ck as to whether or not the royal family edited some of their photographs.

In what world does this matter at all and why?

You know what you are.

Some people are interested in it. I don't know any of them personally but it's just one of those things. I mean, there were clearly people who like Simply Red but I have never met any of them.

There's lessons there for everyone really as the whole thing speaks of an institution that has survived the centuries. It matters in THE world.

Think on, W.

To them, Democracy is merely the latest dance craze, this season's "in" colour or trendy restaurant.

I actually agree with WES - it baffles me. When the Queen died my sister travelled down from Sheffield to walk past the coffin. Never knew she liked the royals at all

It is at least partly a generational thing. Young people don't give a **** about it, in the main. But some old people like it.

My parents are approaching their 60th wedding anniversary and my dad is quite excited about getting a card from the King. I didn't even know that happened....

I thought when the queen died it would have a been a 'bigger deal' than it was. though it was a 'big deal' I was led to beleive everything would be shut down, no telly or radio. they did the classical bit for a little while and took the adverts off but only on a few channels, police interceptors and can't pay we'll take it away was still on repeat constantly.

Do you have to apply for that?

Well yeah but my question isn't so much about why people like the Royals, it's why in particular the Royals doctoring photos matters to anyone.

Who cares if they touched up a photo? :shrug:

Apparently, yes.

There is a suspicion that the Princess of Wales has ****ed off on the piss for a few months, or is dead, or something like that.

The photo is part of some cover up about what is really going on, apparently. I honestly don't know :-)

Legal here though......which does make the whole 'outrage' here, all a bit odd.
