Now I Lancs come from it at an entirely different angle. I'm a republican by inclination but just stopped taking any notice of the royals a good while ago. I have never had an issue with the present incumbent, who has carried out her side of the bargain diligently. The hangers on, minors and psycophants used to get up my nose but less so with the passing years. Enter Meghan as partner of someone, who is never going to come to the throne, and all the vile creeping nonsense of monarchy and establishment began their machinations.
They had it in for her and Harry from the off, they watched as their press lackeys used race, nationality and snobbery to do their dirty work. The firm is terrified of what happens when the queen goes, worried that an ageing Charles will not have the charisma to keep the ship afloat long enough for the next generation. Then thereis William, a dull and unexceptional man with a wife glamouirous by royal standards. Heaven forbid that once popular Harry and his wife might outshine them.
It's pathetic anbd revolting at the same time and they have revived my republicanism. We don't need them, their influence is malign and I am not a subject. Good luck to the multi millionaires in California they are at least trying to live a life. The rest can get off my back.
