      Well, his Wikipedia article is horrifying

      He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women’s vaginas and offers exercises to “clean out” said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it;

      I hope her first husband kept their daughters away from him

      Yeah sadly she counts as a royal, but the civilian in the picture is her sister in laws son pre marriage into the royal family. So technically not a royal, but might as well be.

      Most people in Norway like the king and the queen, and the crown Prince and the crown princess, and their children (together), they used to like this guy too before he got caught doing all this illegal shit

    Americans: Our system is the best because we don’t have royalty, we have a President instead!

    American President: Plating his palace with gold and being completely above the law.

      Also Trump was super delighted that he could sleep in a Dutch palace. The charm offensive by the Dutch royalties worked on him since he wasn’t as belligerent at the NATO summit as he normally is, so the adults in the room could do the talking.

    Nobody’s saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

    Thought the gun was a squirt gun connected to the (wine? champagne? w/e) bottle, now that would’ve been classy

    Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g “Who do you think you are, the Queen?” when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).

    Largely, at least in Britain, they’re pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I’m of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I’ve spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).

    Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.

      I find that most people I talk to had positive opinions of the late queen, but as you said are apathetic towards Charles at best and disturbed by Andrew. Prince William seems to be highly regarded though.

    Did that guy just tattoo his birthday on his chest?

    Yup just checked, he was of course born in 1997.

    Wow what a way to declare to the world what kind of a narcissistic asshole you are.

    Charged with any crime? All the prosecution has to do is make him show that tattoo. No other evidence required.

      Pretty sure my .22s have a larger bore, and I have a shitload.

      Funny story:

      Black dude runs up in the local redneck bar and starts waving a BB pistol around. “You’re money and your jewelry!”, kinda talk. People were like, whatever dude, that’s a BB gun. “I’m fucking serious!” One the guys playing pool walked up behind him and clocked him over the skull with the blunt end of a pool stick. Fin.
