Prince William is engaged.

[chrissy]

Argh darn it!

 

[Alan]

And posters get upset with ME for posting 'nonsense'?!!!

What purpose does this family serve in England?

According to SKYNEWS Prince Charles had over 600 official engagements last year.

And? What purpose does he serve?

I wonder how many tv channels will cover the wedding.

And? What purpose does he serve?

Brings attention to various organizations. Nothing like having the Prince pop in to increase the coffers.

To be fair he actually does a lot more than pop in........

The royal family can suck it.
My surname is koning,I shall declare myself king of the boers and invade puny engerland and send them to the gallows.

The king of the boers invading the foreign scourge will make headlines.

Yes, Steve Hofmeyer will destroy them when his music goes international.

Fail. Obviously without the royal family they'd have some form of elected leadership. BTW a dictatorship is also a more focused and simpler than parliament but it doesn't make it rignt. How many people on the street can name more than 4 Grimaldi family members? How many can name more than four Windsors? Face it when it comes to Monaco people care more about F1, super yachts, half naked women, gambling, Ferarris and the jet-set lifestyle. Albert can take a toffee as far as most people are concerned

Shall we ask the super rich with their big yachts and palaces etc in the Monaco tax free haven to name them?
Or the pleps like us who cannot aford to go and visit Monaco to watch F1. Speaking for myself that is

 

[Leostar]

Um, just because you don't know the names of more then four members of the royal family of Monaco does not mean that Monacoan's don't. And quite frankly I'd rather have one family ruling then an army of corrupt politicians (read ANC). Think about it, one family taking a mill or two off the top is bad, 500 people taking a mill or two off the top leads to a bankrupt country.

And the tax free perks bring a few million in each year for the rest to pick up as well.
Why are the super rich all lining up to live in a tax free haven..heven.
Wish I gualify to live there sigh*

The monarchy is a joke.. but at least Charles won't be king.. hopefully

 

[Hmullie]

The british monarchy is the head of state and church, but being a democtatic state the country is ruled by the parlement.

Congrats will , the future king seems to marry for the right reason and not the title.

Who of you guys didn't love his mom. Stop your jealousy ,you wish that you were him.

I love how the woman's family had to read from a piece of paper how they feel about the engagement.

Those wacky Yankees

The cable news channels are still aflutter about the news that Prince William is engaged to be married to Kate Middleton. But what to do when there is also a car chase?

That was the situation shortly after 11 AM this morning.

Fox News covered the chase in Miami, CNN didn’t bother to cover it at all while MSNBC opted to show the chase in a splitscreen window, while anchor Chris Jansing spoke to a correspondent from London about the wedding.

That splitscreen coverage led to the eyebrow raising moment, pictured above. Asking whether Middleton is “The New Diana?” is a fair question, but placing it under live coverage of a car chase is an odd decision.

Diana died in a car crash in 1997, with some believing that the crash occurred while she being chased by the paparazzi.

Finally there will be a stamp that a guy can w&nk over
