You don’t turn on family, period and end of story. If they were in the Soprano family, they would be worm food.

We elevate our politicians to a special orbit of private jets, chefs, chauffeurs, private gyms, private trainers, barbers, beauticians, masseuses, multiple residences (like royalty), free world travel, access to the finest medical facilities the U.S. has to offer, medical insurance far beyond what even those retired from the most lucrative professions and jobs have, and the most generous vacation and retirement package ever conceived; so, in many ways we have our own form of monarchy "worship", and then we wonder why so few ever leave, only float from one elected position to another for 30, 40, 50 years ! Perhaps it's a psychological drive in us (the masses) to create a class to look "up to" ?

That much? About the cost of the first three seasons of Stranger Things combined.

It’s ‘Britain’ not ‘Briton’.

They are not getting one second of my time as that's one second I can't get back.

But I do find it embarrassing that yet another American divorcee is involved in the situation, particularly in such a disruptive manner.

As an American I find her actions outright disgusting and embarrassing. The acts of a spoiled actress spitting on the UK. I loved watching her act in "Suits" back in the day. Just goes to prove how easily humans can be tricked by the famous, who in the end, are for the most part empty shells used for propaganda and falsehood. Very few are actually worth anything.

Mis-informed. Why post?

Isn't the really disturbing part of this media story the number of people who are actually interested in it? Time for a few new hobbies.

53 posters so far on love hate relationship of people who will never cross their path.

I have been to Briton quite a few times in my life and it always freaked me out when Brits would refer to The Royal Parasite with the crown on it's head as "Queen Mum". At least Elizabeth had some class.

Ah, the sweet gig of a congressman. what other job allows you to quit working at a job to go compete for a better one, but keep your pay and benefits? Take months off every year. Accept massive bribes and get rich by insider training. Skip going in to "work" any time you want.

Term limits.

Some of the papers have said that, but who knows if Charles has.
Maybe a matter of protocol.
I don't think general public will give them a very good reception!

Reality Comes to Light
 
The King and Queen are the equivalent of our Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They are paid well being the Number 1 Tourist attraction in England. They have no other functions. Harry evidently didn't want to be the next Goofy. Good for him. Good for Meghan. They are taking advantage of America's thirst for entertainment, thats our fault. They have shed light on the ridiculous royalty of England. Thats the new reality, show things for the way they really are.
The Magic Castle in England will lose its luster soon and its about time.
