Jeez
Yes so would I but whichever way you slice it Vegas is not a royal not even in Saint Helens!
What part of Royal Patron are people not getting?
It may well be a pointless honour title and the stunningly beautiful Kate probably has no interest in the game. However by marriage she is a member of the Royal family hence she qualifies.
That said she herself is a commoner unlike the spoilt ginger brat so for me at least she’s an upgrade.
Truth is once the Queen dies and Charles has his five minutes of fame the Royal Family will slowly fade. They know this, and I can’t think of a better couple than Will and Kate to lead the way in what even I, a royalist, accepts to be an anachronism in the modern world.They will probably end up as a role model family for those who need roll models but with enough cash and class to avoid having to do reality TV.
So why not enjoy what’s left of ancient Britain’s history before we have the vile spectacle of Lord Tony or Sir Simon Cowell buying the throne.
