Tell me if this sounds familiar:

oh yea! how come we had two f-ing dictators in britain then moron? thatcher (a warmonger) AND BLAIR (ANOTHER WARMONGER) most of the british f-ing hate the royal family now, o yeah and by the way the f-ing royal family are german, their name isnt windsor, their real name is saxa coburg gotha, they had to change their name to windsor during the first world war because it didnt look good them being related to the f-ers who were killing our boys in the trenches…f-k the royal family

You guessed it! It’s the confusing and cuss-littered diatribe of an anti-monarchist. Oh, the pain it causes me to think that I am even the same SPECIES as some of these people. Egad!

The above was a recent YouTube comment on one of my videos which sent me into an irrepressible fit. I’m so very tired of hearing republican ventriloquist dummies point out the Germanic background of the Queen and her family.

This is the year 2008. World War Two ended in 1945, and World War One even earlier. You do the math. Germany isn’t even communist anymore. The wall fell, remember? That country is going about its daily life in modern times. It’s sad that anti-Royalists cannot do the same.

The Royal Family of the United Kingdom has not been Germanic since Queen Victoria. Her husband was a German, but she was born in England. Her heirs were born in England. Many married into German houses,  but the main branch of the Royal Family continued living in England and royal babies are being born there all the time! How far along do you have to be, genealogically speaking, to actually be considered a native for heaven’s sake? It’s all getting a bit ludicrous now.

The thing that angers me the most is that there are people blowing up buses and buildings who are not screamed at as being their particular ethnicity. No, they are referred to as being “British born”. The media wants to make sure that we all know that they’re British, just like tea and crumpets! Let’s get rid of the Queen, though, because she may start goose-stepping her way through Ascot any minute.

Here’s a question: Can ANY of you think on your own? Is it possible? It’s one thing to have a shared opinion, but to keep parroting the same dry, tired, old nonsense is absurd. Call us when you have a real argument! If you’re feeling lost, here are some tips!

YES: I do not believe that the monarchy is worth the tax dollars. [Debate ensues]

NO: The f-ing royal family are german, their name isnt windsor, their real name is saxa coburg gotha

YES: I wish to remove what I believe to be an undemocratic and unjust head of state. [Debate ensues]

NO: f-ck the royal family

Our boys William and Harry have recruited James Bond – actor Daniel Craig – to raise money for an army charity helping servicemen and women returning from war in the Middle East.

The Princes are spearheading the Help For Heroes campaign for the Royal British Legion and the siblings have persuaded producers of the new 007 movie to donate profits from the film’s national premiere to the cause.

It’s hopeless some days… your video just won’t go the way you want it to.

I don’t mind sharing those moments though, and I hope you get a good laugh at the “blooper” reel provided at YouTube.

That’s right! I’m discussing royal book covers. I decided to bring it up because I keep noticing the same theme for a lot of these books dealing with women, and it’s bugging me. It’s everywhere, from royals to rebels:

The First Queen of England: The Myth of Bloody Mary by Linda Porter

Royal Affairs by Leslie Carroll

The Winthrop Woman: A Novel by Anya Seton

Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor

Born to Rule: Five Reigning Consorts, Granddaughters of Queen Victoria by Julia Gelardi

Jane Boleyn: The True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochford by Julia Fox

What is the exact message? Why is it that all of the women have their entire heads/upper heads cut off (maybe that message is just a given in the case of anyone named Boleyn)??

Or, are we to be motivated into buying the book to find out about the behind-the-scenes sensuality due to royal cleavage? Whatever the case may be, it’s starting to become an oft-used theme that is getting a bit dull … and a bit macabre.

Marilyn of ‘Marilyn’s Royal Blog’ reviews the official websites for the British monarchy, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and Prince Michael of Kent.

Which website is your favorite? I like the layout of Prince Michael’s website. Very clean and easy to navigate. I do like the update made to the Prince of Wales’ website. Remember when it used to be dark green? I do. I loved that colo(u)r. Other than that, the new look is great and its accessibility is wonderful. Prince Charles is always very willing to discuss his views and beliefs. You always know where you stand with him, which I like.

Has anyone seen Princess Michael’s website? The wife of HRH Prince Michael, she is notorious for her public gaffes, much like the Duke of Edinburgh but without the humor. Still, she’s a right royal character that can’t be passed by. The Princess’ website of course highlights her literary works, the most recent one being “The Serpent and the Moon“.

I will be away for a family reunion for the week of June 14th – 22nd. In the meantime, please enjoy this collection while I am away.
