Cromwell became more oppressive than Charles I ever had and the monarchy was restored - in the 17th century - to avoid this and to cement clear Royal succession rather than more civil war over disputed lineages...
Doesn't really pertain to now in any way.. as The Royal family has no power, and no one is going to shed blood over the succession of Elizabeth II... |

The royal family have suffered at the worst hands of the press and on top of it, they are slandered and vilified by idiots.
It isn't right or fair.
Nobody will bring them down. The press are stirring the mire though — as they do and it is upsetting them.
An outright ban on royal reporting will likely be the end result in that respect.
The media claimed yesterday that the pair were stepping back as seniors, but I don't think it is permanent.
They want to spend time with their child (understandable) and will be back to it on a reduced level. Kate, Meghan, and Andrew are treated appallingly in the press.
I don't have any time for those who allow it.
Forget the old press adage about "We are just reporting the news."
No, they have gone beyond the pale decade after decade. |

Over the centuries, the British Family have been through far worse and survived. They stay in place with the love and blessings of the majority of the public, despite the small but vocal minority who don't like them.
Both Andrew and Philip are bigger than their critics, and have certainly done more to serve the nation, including putting their lives on the line. Harry fell in the love trap, like his great great uncle.
Cromwell abolshed the Royal Family, but it was restored by the will of the people .. who dug up the remains of Cromwell and hung them along with a few of the remaining republicans.
The Royal Family will be staying in place for a few more generation yet. |

How do we know this? Did they leave the mikes switched on?
No Honey - but so obvious.
Wrapped around M's little finger (or ambition) is H.
Godfather to Clooney's offspring next.
Maybe H doesn't know it yet!

Andrew must be thinking "THANK GOD ! what a fu**ing relief!"
He's nearly 60..no more unbelievably intensely boring "dignitaries" to meet..no insufferably boring events to have to attend.
A life of leisure beckons ..a bloody nice apartment in Kensington Palace..an unbelievably rich Mum who'll sling her favorite plenty of pocket money...what's not to like?
This drama will blow over. He'll still be courted by the immensely rich and have a life of fabulous holidays on people's yachts, flights in their private jets, dinner invites with celebs etc with no strings attached. ( such notoriety now is like a blessing) |
