Are you confusing Bertie with Albert? Because Bertie was getting it on all over the place.

I think there is a certain amount of confusion because Queen Elizabeth II’s father, George VI, was also nicknamed Bertie. He was reportedly not a tomcat.

On Bertie’s (Edward VII’s) Biography.com entry, there’s a whole section devoted to it.

That’s a great point. I’m thinking more about the general retreat that Harry and Meghan are making, not just to the picture-on-the-steps thing, but it’s true that the others sibs did it. But in this generation, every time Kate did it, the reaction overwhelmingly, was, “Omg poor thing they made her put makeup on and…

It may be apocryphal,  but I have read that Camilla pointed that fact out to Prince Charles as kind of a "come on" line.

You’re not going to see that article, but not because a writer like Kelly doesn’t care about the racial dynamics of media slander. The royals have already litigated against other news outlets that have reported on William’s affair with Rose Mutterly, or whoever, and this blog can’t afford to be sued.

Self sufficient based on a long history declaring land theirs and taxing persons who lived on it and so much more. When we are discussing their current status, we cannot remove history and how they came to be... and question why they still exist.

Oh yes, I’m sure that is what Kelly referenced. Queen Victoria blamed Prince Albert’s last illness/death on the fact that he became ill right after visiting Bertie to confront him about a very brief premarital affair.

The way she lists the “hits” it looked to me like she was listing all of Edward VIII’s issues...

Yes, and I think there is extra interest in H&W because people need to decide if DIANA WOULD BE PROUD OF HER BOYS at all times. 

Victoria’s son, Edward VII, was in fact a massive tomcat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_chair

I think she’s referring to Bertie, whose kingly name was Edward?

I don’t see that Harry is acting any differently than Charles’s siblings did. The major difference is that there are ONLY two children. Anne specifically distanced herself from the spotlight while maintaining royal duties (charity sponsorship etc.), and I think Anne’s a favorite of Harry’s. He’s probably just trying…

“Without the media, the royals are just random rich people born into an outdated hereditary system of power.”

i am here for news about William the Scumbag cheating on Kate & being just like his father & the british tabloid media blaming Meghan. Where’s that article?

Harry is 6th in line to be king. It seems a bit remote for this shit storm. I saw it as an avatar for the resistance changes in technology giving individuals a direct line access to relay information bypassing the media.

That Invictus games video represented maximum royal adorableness for me. No amount of babies can compete with the queen’s one faux incredulous “Really?” and Harry’s boom.  

They really can’t win in this situation, can they? If they want a tiny bit of privacy during a life event they get slammed for not playing along. If they post anything, they get accused of being attention whores. 

The Royal Family already have an heir, and an heir, and an heir, and a spare, and a spare.

As a Canadian, I always say, I love the British monarchy because without them, I’d be French.
