it has been designated for “greatness”
Wait a minute now. Does anyone actually genuinely think that royals are somehow inherently better?
Everyone on here seems to be queueing up to complain about that, but I’ve never heard anyone in the real world say that.
Positive statements about the monarchy I’ve heard:
1) She works hard
2) They’re lovely people
3) It’s traditional
I’ve not once heard anyone allude to the idea that they are ‘greater’ than anyone else. We treat them the same way as any other commonly respected celeb or their kids.
ANYONE of any kind of note gets column inches and the stuff they say talked about, simply because people have been talking about them previously. Sportspeople, page 3 girls, singers, offspring of rich people – I can’t see a difference.
I think that these days* you need to find a different chip for your shoulder. Please note I am defintely not pro monarchy, but if you’re going to be anti be so for sensible reasons not made up hype.
* ie since 1653
