If William kicks the bucket in years to come and he has a child, they would be next in line, not Harry ..

Did not know he did yet.

It wouldn't be any different, and yet it should be a lot different, which is the whole point of this thread nearly everyone seems to be missing.

Harry would be next in line to the magic blood chair only if William dies AND William bore no child of the right gender.

There is no right gender in Britain.

She is expecting a baby, royal blood in her already.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. You either like the royal family or you don't, but name calling aimed at one or all of them is not only pointless it's childish as well. It's not like it'll change the way things are. The mind boggles at some of the comments in this thread.

So Kate Middleton is being portrayed in the media as a Princess. Why that should matter to anyone.....but each to their own. I don't see how the royal family can be blamed for that either, that's the fault of whoever writes the articles and the media for publishing them.

He and his wife are expecting a baby.. So in years to come, if he did pass away, his child would be next in line.. That is what I believe would be the way it would head  IF again he did unfortunately die..

The royal family? Eh?
They are like an institution but to me an insititution is a glorified lunatic asylum.

I wouldn't even waste time spitting on them never mind curtsy.
And if that wasn't enough they are mind-blowingly ugly through all that inbreeding.
There's no stud muffins or glamour pusses within their over-inflated egos.
They are trying to improve their DNA stock through the Middletons.
But the Middletons are still upper middle class in my eyes and I doubt a commoner would get a look in.
Tbh I don't care if Pippa got "rear of the year" because she's still brown- nosing to the Royal Family.
I hope it's a sign of the times now that Katy Middleton isn't a princess because it's about time the monarchy is demolished.
Though I'm curious to see if she becomes a queen from just being a mere duchess.
You can have the Royal Family building your statue because they are not far from being unemployed bums.

I have nothing against Queeny but the elitism alienates the public.

The Royals need to talk properly and become 'one of the people' so to speak.

For those of us across the sea who have sullied the English language: what do you mean by "talk properly"?  Is it a matter of accent, or grammar, or ... ?

Well when you watch American TV the Brits which appear on your shows have ridiculas accents. I dont know if you do something to the microphones or if the guests over-empahise their accents but we dont speak like that.

The Royals speak in fake voices. By that I mean how they sound is put on and fake. People say 'yes' not 'yaaaarrrsee' in a fake voice.

I remember going on hols to the US and I got asked am I Swiz? Am I German? am I dutch? No, dear thats an English accent. We dont sound like the Queen!

I can't imagine how our actors' assumed British accents sound to you.  I can't speak for the rest of my society, but my exposure to British accents is mostly through Monty Python and the Goon Show.  For the most part, we lack understanding of the social context implied in your range of accents.

Have you ever watched some old time war movies?   If they feature the British army, all you hear is - Oh I say, it looks like we have won chaps. jolly good show !!

I once watched a biblical movie and some of the Romans had posh English accents too  lol
