Little Miss Bossy Boots and The Poor Little Rich Boy

Here's a clue ...

They demand privacy in Brit Land and use the courts to get it,
but bizarrely they seek publicity in Yank Land via a chat-show host.

Another clue? ...

Their grandmother doles out pretty pointless titles (Well,
pointless in a democracy but perhaps germane to a country
that is still over-run by the descendant spawn of the
Norman invaders), and so has earned herself her own
pointless title ... The Great Parasite Of Windsor.

It's ironic that those titles were likely sanctioned by a democratic
government.

I guess you must be a Trump fan. If the alternative to the Royal family
are little Hitlers like Presidents like Trump, I'll take the Royal
Family every day.

Or you could have the Irish system where the prez has no
power at all, cant even dismiss the govt and no one cares
what its kids and other relos get up to. Vastly cheaper too.

Tho, you do have to wonder what is the point
of having one like that with no power at all.

There is that, I guess the Royal family gives continuity and provides
neutrality. How many Irish president have there been since 1953?

Completely irrelevant given they have no power at all.

Is it really worth spending all that money for some purported continuity
when they **** up everything they are ever involved in so spectacularly ?

And neutrality is irrelevant if they have no power at all.
