Prince Harry

Not sure when this was taken, but could it be a coded gesture of solidarity with Meghan?

crikey - so it is. I wonder why it looks like it's been crudely superimposed over another photo?

I reckon all those commonwealth countries have a bet on to see who can make the royal family look the most racist when they visit tbh
 
I am finding this whole fandango to be oddly enjoyable. Seeing supremely privileged people, about whom I couldn't give a single fuck, turning on each other, has been exactly the sort of light relief which has been absent since the demise of Trump. I know this makes me a bad person but compared to t the grief and anomie which comes from witnessing the real suffering and misery which pertains all over the globe, this toe-curling extravaganza of misplaced whining, shit-stirring, tone-deaf, snivelling, has cheered me up tremendously. As far as I can see, every single person or institution involved with this anachronistic, pointless family, has shit the bed then rolled about in effluent.
 
Far from circling the drain, I think all the constant drama has ensured the royal family's survival for generations to come.

There is still massive interest in them obvs - look at this thread on a website where the prevailing wisdom is that most would like to see them strung up from a lamppost with their brains hanging out Mussolini style. 2000+ posts and going strong.

i remember being on one of the student protests, the night charles and camilla were attacked. chants of 'grants not fees' changed to 'kill the queen' within 30 seconds. i've never (sadly) seen anything like that again. but it shows that in times of volatility public opinion can change very very quickly. i'd be less sanguine than you but more sanguinary about the future of the monarchy
 
Last night's BBC news report on this was very entertaining for the lengths they went to not to include Prince Philip in any shots. Lots of pictures of the Queen right on the edge of the screen as if we didn't know who was stood next to her. :facepalm:

Those protests really shit the powers up and showed how fragile and unrepresentative the propaganda really is. I thought it was really going to explode when the students were joined by youth looking for a long deserved ruck.
 
Harry here actually pulling off the dancing with the colonial locals quite convincingly


Yes, that's the oldest trick in the royal usurper's handbook.

KING RICHARD THE SECOND
He is our cousin’s cousin, but ’tis doubt,
When time shall call him home from banishment,
Whether our kinsman come to see his friends.
Ourself and Bushy, Bagot here and Green,
Observ’d his courtship to the common people,
How he did seem to dive into their hearts
With humble and familiar courtesy,
What reverence he did throw away on slaves,
Wooing poor craftsmen with the craft of smiles
And patient underbearing of his fortune,
As ’twere to banish their affects with him.
Off goes his bonnet to an oyster-wench,
A brace of draymen bid God speed him well,
And had the tribute of his supple knee,
With “Thanks, my countrymen, my loving friends,”
As were our England in reversion his,
And he our subjects’ next degree in hope.
 
Which is the worst ever thread on Urban?

1. This one
2. The ‘a thank you to the brexiteers’ dribble
3. Any thread where the editor and his mates lose their minds at working class people who dare to go on holiday?
