At least one of the new gerneration of royals is going to step up and set an example, be a leader, rather than being an inbred waster.

I agree but isn't most of your royal family some sort of millitary trained? Wasn't Andrew at the Falklands with the Navy?

Off course OUR coming king is a Navy seal, quite usefull when you are socializing with royals i guess.;)

Mmmm... but it seemed for a while that none of the next generation would. Seemed they were more interested in being rich and idle.

Yes, "Randy" Andy was a helicopter pilot in the Falklands.

I can see the tabloid headlines; "Prince Harry--an officer and an ex-druggy shock!"

I'm willing and able to be an official Royal Inbred Waster in his stead. Where do I go for an application?

The only redeeming feature about this one is that he supports Arsenal As for being a leader, just what the army needs, another rupert with an A-level in art.

I would never have guessed! Tell me, have you always felt this, or is it a recent thing? The reason I ask is that I was always a bit of a closet Royalist (spot the capital 'R', dead giveaway), but now.... I wish they'd all just piss off. It isn't even about the money as they're all incredibly wealthy in their own right, without the civil list. I just can't stand their sanctimonious prancing about. I think UK should offer them up for auction to whichever country wants their ugly mugs on its money, and start again.... with a constitution this time. Both Australia and Canada have had referendums on becoming Republics, and both have voted for ER, so let them have her I say. It would make a more interesting transfer story than Beckham going to Real Madrid, and we'd probably get more dosh too, though maybe not, Beckham is probably a bigger brand than Windsor.

We'll need a DNA sample and some background family history. For instance, was your father related to your mother other than through marriage? Is your family name germanic in origin? :D

Mind you, Harry might not be quite so inbred as previosly imagined if rumours about Diana and a certain Horse guards officier are correct.

The great thing about the British Royal family is that all of the jokes about Southern or West Virginia trailer trash (e.g. joke songs like "I'm my own Grandpa...") apply to them.

Indeed, I love Prince Charles being a "natural" food campaigner...citing "God's" law as the reason for organic foods, etc...yet, he's like some weird farm/science breeding experiment gone terribly wrong....
