Perhaps "troll" is subjective. If you go across multiple boards and names for many many years and have the same offensive interactions with multiple people, I'm gonna go with troll. Other people may have other definitions, but I'm cool with mine. I actually with with the high level version of some of what Phil says and I doubt I'm alone. It's almost more frustrating to me, like you could just be a regular poster. Why choose violence? So If I just said what I say and didn’t retort to ones that call me a troll I would be a better, regular poster? Then maybe it’s the ones calling me a troll that are trolling. You wouldn't be called a troll if you posted a different way so you wouldn't have to call out people

It seems that who I thought was Zara is actually Sophie. That's what I get for making a snap judgment based off of a profile. Whoopsies.

What about Archie and Lilibet? Is Doria bringing them over to hang out at Frogmore? I know they wouldn't be visible or participating in anything. Just as parents, I would want them with me since the initial plan was only to be away for a few days. I have seen conflicting reports on this. Some say they’re staying home, some have claimed Doria will be bringing them over. I have not seen anything officially said, and I guess I don’t expect to. I assume Omid will have the scoop on this if the kids to come. My guess is they are there but H&M don't want it known and I don't blame them one bit. I don't see them away from their kids for that long since they were already gone before all this happened.

But I think for security reasons nothing will be said.

You haven't had 1 civil conversation. Dropping tweets is not trying to make your point in a reasonable way I wasn’t dropping tweets. This mostly stems from one of my posts which was ‘I think the referencing a cartoon has been shared around and been done by plenty of adults too, and confirms to me that many people there have this nationalistic pride as a reason they care about this. The Royal Family is Britain. What makes them stand out from any other country without the royals? Without The Queen. People around the world are obsessed with it. People (Americans) when they meet a British person will do a bit where they talk in a posh British Queen like voice and talk about tea. People visit the UK and spend their time on visiting places that have to do with the royal family. You can argue it’s the countries history, but you’re just looking at fancy buildings with expensive things in them. It’s not like anyone is going to learn about any of the bad shit they’ve done throughout history. Sorry I kind of went on a tangent but yes, nationalistic pride.’ But besides swellist who did engage in a conversation with me, everyone else has only nitpicked that I said “people (Americans)” and not “some Americans”. Which by the way, I am using personal experience in this instance but you’re free to scoff at it because to personally cannot choose to believe that would happen. Or picking apart that I mentioned visiting buildings. That’s also completely missing that point I made to make an argument out of something. You’re the one who brought up generalizations. What is the line? “Just calling out your hypocrisy.”

Zara sucks, right? I remember looking her because she seemed chill and is all about the horses but then she was outed for some racist comments? Her husband has also said some stuff about Harry which made me sad because Harry and Zara seemed close

And Sophie and Edward made some snotty comments about the Oprah interview so they’re all dead to me. ETA: Errrrr not the best choice of words at the moment LOL. But yeah they all showed their asses towards H&M so f them on top of it all.

You can't actually rewrite the history of a conversation when it just happened.

Also yeah that horse on the right was like “let’s go!”

Anne’s Husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, is not a working royal but is in his military uniform. Is he still an active working member of the military? I don't actually know anything about any of the uniform stuff. I think he’s retired?

Generally tourists everywhere visit fancy buildings with fancy artifacts from that country/city they are visiting. It's literally part of the reason for the tourism. This is not unique to the UK or the Royal Family. Yep. I go to Prague next month and you bet your ass I'm going to see castles and cathedrals despite hating monarchy and not being religious. One can appreciate architecture for architecture's sake and history for history's sake. It sure as hell doesn't mean we have an encompassing love for terrible figures and purposes they represent. Unrelated, but my parents were recently there. My kids requested photos of any cats that were seen in Europe, so they sent us pictures of the cat doors in Prague Castle. I knew humans used to be shorter but I wasn’t aware cats were smaller too. It led to a really interesting discussion with 8 year olds.

But yeah they all showed their asses towards H&M so f them on top of it all. I feel like Edward has continually showed his ass. They need to all take their money to start flower shops or whatever and disappear into obscurity. Sophie too Remember she didn't acknowledge Harry and Meghan at that one event? I can't even remember what it was at this point. but she actively ignored them.

I haven't seen any of the grandkids in the audience. Kinda surprised. Wonder if the siblings decided it was best to leave this service as just one generation.

That is what hurt me the most because he earned all of it. Harry’s ceremonial titles were taken, I don’t believe they can/did take anything rank he earned. Each branch of the military has a royal ceremonial head, and I believe things like that were stripped. He retains anything he did during his career, if I recall correctly.

I'm enjoying the memes about how now is the time to go get everything back from the British museum. The jewels need to be given back. Like, tomorrow.
