I feel sorry for the British Monarchy
Jul. 25th, 2013 08:02 amI do.
I would not be surprised if Elizabeth is the last monarch, if only because her son is ridiculous and her grandsons don't want it. They won't stop being ridiculously rich without actually doing anything, or much of anything, even without the money English tax payers give them, but they would stop being bred in captivity and monitored and photographed at every turn.
And people complain about the cost of maintaining national art galleries? "Oh look, it is some of those in-bred British whatzits! That vague expression and enormous nose has been passed down for centuries! Now that bit of genetic engineering is a real art!"
