True? Prince William shot and killed a cat belonging to someone on Balmoral

Oh I know Hops!! I wasn't insinuating you at all... Truth be, I didn't read
all of the msgs and I don't recall what most of anybody has said. (rude I
know, got a buttkicking cold right now so....) This was an unbiased and
un.... what's that word for umm.. rubbing off on someone/prompted... comment


And you are absolutely right though, the Monarchy does put forth a great
image today (to us USA'ers) but centuries are telling and the fact is, there
are some mighty big skeletons in that closet.

I think... I don't know... *bleh* I didn't think colds and stuff was
supposed to be contagious.

Ok Ok!!!! I gotta make one itty bitty comment...

The Queen does have a fondness for her corgi's. You only have to go as far
as a few publicity photos before you see the dogs run unchecked on the
grounds of where ever she's in residence at. Watching them bounce all over
the throne, the Queen herself and whoever is in attendance... I think it's
sweet

I think the most telling of how hard the boys work, and what is given to
them freely would be a copy of their school work, the grades that are
reflected. Test scores, and things such as that. There is no way, with 10+
years of education you can get by without some type of evidence you either
rode it out, or you worked to get those grades.

On the other hand!!! Can we say Yay Norway? Or was it Finland??? The heir
to the throne married his sweetheart earlier this year and she's a divorced
mum . I think that was wonderful and very telling on the types of people
leading that country.

Question is what's in the *heads*, not the hearts, Sherry. *snip*

Anyone's pet would be expendable and not worth a discussion to such
beings.

R U kidding, Sherry? We don't live in a monarchy so that *would* be
threatening behavior here in USA. But I've always got the impression
those
royals do whatever, wherever, whenever they want......with no
consequences
to their exalted hides. Whole different ballpark than here.



Not true, Princess Anne recently became the first Royal for ages to get a
criminal conviction because she let her dog run riot in a public area and
attack someone.



It's happened since as well... I think a member of the house staff needed
stitches. Not sure.

Trouble is, that is where Anne's dogs got the publicity for their agressive
behavior. Aparently not too long ago one of her dogs killed one of her
sister's Corgi's. Of course that sounds worse, when it ends up in the
press, than the unfortunate family incident that it is. My brother's dog
almost killed my mother's poodle several years ago. And it was most
unexpected and everyone felt perfectly horrid about it. These things do
happen.

Perhaps the royals aren't too bright, or perhaps the press likes to make
them seem that way. Then again sweet as she seemed, Diana wasn't the
sharpest tack in the box either so it isn't all inbreeding.

Hee hee well the skeletons may be big but unlike USA's, they once had royal
blood running through their veins.....I wasn't trying to go "diggin' up
bones" (remember that song?) but just to point out that we on this side of
the pond have no concept of the life they lead and their standards of
behavior. Get rid of that cold, Gracie.
