Who's a Royal and Who's Not a Royal?

I have a different question: Who cares?

In the midst of serious issues happening all around the world, not the least of which is climate change, issues regarding UK royalty seem to me to be worthy of approximately zero concern.

Harry and Meghan? Why are they even interesting? Why should anyone care where they live or what their relationship is with the largely ceremonial monarchy in the UK?

Does it depend on who is sitting on the throne?

Inquiring minds await!!

How many times would you have to push down the flush handle, I wonder?

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

over the antics of the privileged offspring of an evil family and a B-list actress. Absolutely pathetic.

the main issue is how horribly racist Meghan and the baby have been treated by the UK press. At least that’s my issue. Otherwise, I don’t care about royalty.

Anyone who believes they are "royal" is delusional; anyone who believes others are "royal" shares in the delusion.
