The Monarchy and its traditions and functions thankfully evolve. For example I think Prince William hugged some old guy recently. The Windsors need to get with it. Prince William can't act like his grandmother. The world moves on.
I think you want the Royals to act like the politicians whose only aim is to get votes, they do not care about the people. The royal Family on the other hand DO !!./ They do not seek anything other than in reality the well being of people, can anyone really say their respective Heads of state do the same .
Hence the protocols and the way you deal with them and they deal with you is different. Respect that we will get along famously

As the British Monarchy is nearly 1000 years old, tradition specifies what is or is not said. IT IS CALLOED TRADITION, not many countries have an such an unbroken chain the exception is the I believe the following countries are similar in age old traditions that many fail to understand .
The more modern countries do not have the same age old traditions . I wonder why people knock it .
i would expect the same amount of respect you've
extended to leaders of other nations. it's called
tradition. demanding special privleges is nonsense

I agree. I think some go over the top. This is the 21st century.

there seems to be a legitimate question if any of
the current gaggle of royals even has lineage to
original line. what's with holdup on dna testing ?

Now then, steady on, Sir, this is not the time of day to be discussing a chap's dander. I think Cali is referring to a ginger gene that one of the Princes has inherited, possibly not to be mooted during the Jubilee weekend.

So calling a politician who no longer is the a leader of the Free World, Mr. President and providing all the security as if he was still in power and ignoring the money grab they do after being kicked out (see Clinton). That's what you think is sensible?? Our lot just fade away into the background, except Bliar. Crooked as a shepherds stick that one.

It's a newspaper for the Establishment, Cali.

Right you are, Sir. If you could just lower your voice, you're making the Midshipmen nervous. The captain says dinner is 7.30 for 8pm and I've left your laundered underwear on your bunk.

Are you going to work next Monday then? You know, damn this monarchist tripe, I've got a point to make? Put your best All Blacks shirt on and stomp about, glaring at any happy kid with a flag and kicking out at their cute puppies?

I see Nick Cohen, an opinion writer in The Guardian, has rung the alarm bells about Prince Charles:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... ntitlement
In the 20th century, there were good reasons to behave with restraint. Elizabeth II only came to the throne because parliament had deposed her uncle, Edward VIII. The House of Windsor survived, but all around it war and revolution had destroyed the Habsburgs, Romanovs and Hohenzollerns. Caution, as much as personal preference, demanded that she be careful.

Times change and aristocrats are no longer frightened. There will be no sense of caution about Charles III: only a sense of entitlement.
I'm glad there's a Governor General between NZ and the next monarch and that he might be too old to ever visit as Kxxg.
The first decade of the 21st century saw what we used to call the establishment begin to realise that Charles was a hard prince to house train. Mark Bolland, a former courtier, said he “routinely meddled in political issues and wrote sometimes in extreme terms to ministers, MPs and others in positions of political power”. Aides to the then Labour administration said that if he carried on opposing government policy “sooner or later there will be real constitutional trouble”.

Heirs to the throne are often in conflict with monarchs because there is little else for them to do than hang around waiting for an individual or queen to die. The Queen doesn’t moan. Her son does. The Queen doesn’t politick. He can’t help himself. You could, if not forgive, then at least understand Prince Charles’s behaviour when he was decades away from getting a proper job. He had to pass the time, after all. The excuse doesn’t wash today, as there is no evidence that he has calmed down now that his coronation is in sight.
Blimey. I had just assumed he had calmed down and his black spider days had passed.

Agree completely, same as 70 year Diamond Celebrations thread. Time to rename as each post is moving further away from original intent. Cheers.
