1. I hate that there ARE people who call themselves royals.
A modern world has no use for such nonsense.

8. Mixed feelings
I like Will, I liked Diana, think Charles is an ass, Camilla is a bitch, have no use for Andrew, respect Princess Anne, and have no particular liking for the Queen. The rest, eh, who cares.

drop the royalty crap forever.

20. "Their" money is the British people's money anyway. What? Did they earn it?
They should cease to exist and return to the British people what is rightfully theirs. At least most of our celebrities don't live off the taxpayers and actually have a negligible talent.

In fact, why should anybody hate anybody else who never did anything bad to them?

19. I say, ban the tiara and the veil: symbols of the oppression of women!
Otherwise, the rest of the Royal trappings are okay - gotta like those maroon Rolls limos. Lots of greenhouse all around.

30. Wasn't that a burqa she was wearing? Barbaric and uncivilized country, Britain.
The things they do to maintain their own identity. . . like eating scones, for instance. Tea with milk. . .Masochists.

25. People who call themselves "royal" should be marched off to an asylum
People who demand to be called royal by others should be marched up a scaffold.

46. There are self proclaimed royals that deserve a boot to the butt:
" *BOOT* No Donald, being a jerk, arrogant and a royal pain in the ass does not entitle you to be President."

It would be interesting to see if Trump would insist to be called 'his Majesty' rather than 'Mr. President.' but not so interesting it would be worth it to put him in the White House to test that aspect of his lack of good character.



Trump's social safety net: "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!"

37. I will indeed hate them if they go ahead with the move from Sacramento
they would be called the "Anaheim Royals", the franchise's original name, due to the presence of the NHL's LA Kings in the same area.

Sorry to the Brits who are offended here; I just don't like the idea of monarchies, that's all.

I'm very strongly ambivalent when it come to the royal family.

44. maybe if they were known as 'Nobles' they'd do things a little more noble for the world

'royal' just means they have a seal or pedigree they did not earn

50. Other: If I don't think about them too much, no.
However, they are descendants of Queen Victoria. The Potato Famine occurred during Victoria's reign. The official position of the British government at the time was to "let nature run its course." In other words, let 'em die. My great-grandparents, both sides, were directly affected by this cruel policy.

So, if I don't dwell on it, I feel no animosity. If I think about it for a while, I hate them.
