Couldn't give a shit about the British royal family but it's nice to see him being allowed break the mould I suppose. Of course he'll never inherit so I guess his choice of wife isn't of such concern to them
I think Harry is hot and probably a lot of fun. Other than that I haven't given it much thought. I do remember watching the Charles/Diana wedding with my grandma back in the day. I can only imagine what that would have been like if social media had been around.
The press already have them having kids and their relationship with the queen and the sister in law. Jesus imagine the pressure to pro create. I bet harry will need viagra with all the pressure poor lad

This all somehow reminds me of a cartoon I saw when I was a kid that was an old,OLD, early cartoon, like maybe from he 1930's. In one scene this family-- I can't remember if the people were just weird looking or if they were like cat people or something- are all scurrying around this house where everything is moving strangely- almost hallucinatory in effect- and they're all singing this song that sort of goes like:
We are a happy fam-ily We laugh and sing and dance all day.
I would love to find that on YouTube some day. I've looked many a time. No luck.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
The Royal family is nothing more than leeches on society anymore ... how pathetic these people are ...
This is how much the British monarchy costs the 4 biggest commonwealth countries (source is from 2016):
Canada
The grand total that we
estimate (excluding the cost of hosting), is $50.5 million per year.
That works out to $1.44 Canadian per capita. That could be down from the
$1.85 the Monarchist League of Canada
estimated in 2012, but we're assuming they added all of the one offs we
get per year -- like the $7.5 million we pitched in for the Queen's
Birthday Jubilee. Yeah, $7.5 million -- and you probably thought that
free coffee Starbucks gives you is lavish.
New Zealand
In New Zealand, the monarchy estimates
it costs NZ$4.3 million, or around a dollar a person in 2010. Our look
at the same year turned up NZ$18.6 million, or NZ$3.32/person.
United Kingdom
The UK gets the pleasure
of entertaining the Monarchy year round, so it's no surprise they pay a
(metric?) buttload. There's this year's £150 million pound renovation for Buckingham Palace,
the official residence. But that's owned by the people, so apparently
we shouldn't factor that in. Outside of that, there's another £42.8
million budgeted in the latest accounts. This works out to roughly £0.80 per capita.
Australia
Australia seems to be
under the impression that they don't pay anything -- outside of the cost
of visits. Don't worry, Australia, we'll do the math for you! The Governor General's office ran up a tab of $17,669,000.
In addition to that, there's also the costs outlined in their 2013 financial report.
There was a bill of $12,767,924 dollars in this report, but they paid
for it with "revenue." Notes detail that revenue "is generated from the
sale of replacement medals to recipients who earlier received awards
under the Australian Honors and Awards system." I'm not fluent in
Australian, but it sounds like they're billing the country for it.
We'll
exclude the latter and say it costs A$0.79 per capita. However, if
you're Australian and reading this, it's probably much higher. (US$0.76)
The costs per capita
contributed from every person in Canada, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom, and Australia. We used US dollars as the currency because we
needed a neutral currency to compare.

I'm not sure what your point is? Are you defending these leeches because its nominal when broken down per capita. And why is Canada contributing any money to these leeches? As far as I'm concern we should have cut ties with everything and anything UK along time ago...
