Do you have the same dislike for everyone who has a bit of money - like the Beckhams, Bill Gates etc?
I wish I had a lot more money and I'd spend it however I liked!
You should thank your lucky stars that you live in a country which, while not perfect, is a hell of a lot better than many you could live in. If you don't like it here, you can always go somewhere and live in fear of what might happen if you critizise the regime!
Mind you, I'm sick of the media circus surrounding this latest pregnancy.
Leave them alone - and good luck to them..
I'm with you on this George, it's just spite and envy as per usual from some, without any grasp of the huge economic benefit to the country the Royals bring. People seem to ignore the fact that the Monarchy doesn't actually own most of what they have, but are merely custodians for future generations.
Whilst no system is perfect, give me the monarchy anytime in preference to any more grasping politicians that produce absolutely nothing, and think nothing for the country other than for what they can pocket, which is usually as much as they possibly can in the shortest possible time...
Yes the media hysteria is tedious, but a small price to pay in the greater scheme of things methinks...
