Ah, Kate. sorry, Catherine. Catherine, Princess of Wales and Our Future Gracious Queen* How lucky we are to have her! She truly was the normal girl who became a real life princess! She totally understands what life is like for us ‘commoners’, she smiles and waves so graciously, the saintly mother of a future king, she used a ton of people then ditched them when William decided he wanted her back….wait, what?!

Yeah, this has pissed me off for quite some time. William ditched her and she started crying about press intrusion. It was awful for her! Terrible! So unfair and invasive! So invasive in fact that she….well, she put on the most garish outfit possible (remember the sparkly green top, bright yellow shorts and neon pink leg warmers, totally not an attention grabbing colour combo….), rocked up at a roller disco and either Carole or Pippa or both made sure photos got to the horrible bad nasty intrusive press.

Then the dragon boat team. She totally showed William what he was missing there! Girl power! This women’s’ dragon boat team who have been training for this big race for months, maybe years. All that time, dedication and effort they put in. Then Kate joins the team! Yay, How cool is this?! Sisterhood! Oh but wait. William wants her back. What’s a girl to do?! Well, Kate ditches the dragon boat team of course! Screw these women and all their commitment and training and sacrifice, she’s got a Prince to snag! 

I wonder about those women. How used and betrayed they just have felt when she joined the team, used them for pap shots then discarded them when they were of no further use to her.

Sorry guys, I just needed to rant. I’ve been sitting with this for a while and felt ready to share it now.

*wait a sec, how’s the national, sorry, royal anthem going to work with both of them as king and queen, neither being consorts? ‘God save our gracious kingnqueen, long live our noble kingnqueen….’

Hello

I am a avid supporter of monarchist form of government, and I would like to ask the people of this subreddit, why do you all hold anti-monarchist views.

This is a simple non-violent question not meant for hate or to antagonize, only a simple question.

Thank you
