And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Queen Goes Nuclear
And Meg is a duchess, not a princess, although she might wish otherwise.
Yesterday I saw a thing about how the UK press was treating the American woman (vs her sister-in-law), I could see why this happened. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/meghan-markle-kate-middleton-double-standards-royal
That's Buzzfeed. Highly slanted, context free. The American woman spent her life self-identifying as white/Caucasian, then suddenly became African American when she started dating Prince Harry. She's leveraged that very effectively to wage a PR war against the British Royal Family, claiming racism whenever she screws up - which has been often. She has been disrespectful to veterans, to working-class people, to host countries when she was on official tours. She publicly referred to President Trump as 'syphilis'. Most of the Brits want her out, and she wants out. She just wants to keep the title so she can leverage deals and sell merchandise. She's an embarrassment to the US, and I pray the IRS rakes her over the coals
Well... She's both a princess by marriage and a duchess by marriage. Royal princess because she married a royal prince. Duchess because she married the ginger idiot who is a duke.
Multiple titles because... One can be a King of (X country), Prince of (Y principality (may be a separate country or a part of a country), Duke of (Z dukedom whether a separate country or part of a country), Lord of (ABC - yep, a smaller part of a country,) Knight of the Order of (Insert list of various knightly organizations, from Orders of Things (like the Garter) or orders of Knights Militant like Order of Lazarus, Teutonics, Templars...) and then other non-knightly orders and awards....
Marry a good woman or a bimbo, she comes with her own titles (if she has any) and gets some of his, mostly some of the hereditary land titles.
Dude marrying a peerage-class babe? He gets some of her titles as well, though not as many because patrimony or other such stuff.
Our founding fathers were correct in ditching hereditary bullscat like this. Except this is what the Dems are trying to do to us.
That would be one way to manage MEXIT.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant!
