I think you have to do this in order to prove descent. I’ve gotten naturalized in the US and passports in 3 countries, and all governments very much wants to know who you are, who you were born to, and if you’ve changed your name in between. If only the chip from the vaccine didn’t itch so badly....

I'm hoping she said ninja robot pirate Captain tbh

My wife and I got gay married in Gibraltar and had to give the names and occupations of our estranged fathers. I believe my wife just made up a job for her father...

I worked at a thrift store for years, and almost all of our resellers were low income people. It’s a lot of work for a small margin, and frankly if you’re already affluent it would not be a good hustle.

Seems like if you’re buying clothing at a thrift store because you can’t afford to buy it new, this business of re-selling probably doesn’t affect you at all. There’s plenty of stock and the prices are still substantially lower than buying new. I generally buy clothes (and everything else) used, if I can, because I am…

“Fuckable" I believe is the word you're looking for. ;-)

I don’t see a takedown so much as a very accurate description of the way the British press warmed up to Kate over the years - starting with when she had kids but also as she became way more conservative and subdued in her fashion and took on a more passive and subservient role. Basically, becoming the dream woman of…

Agreed. Some years ago, a Tory would be leader, forget which one, was sneered at for ‘having to buy his own antiques'. That is, not having inherited them. I wonder how that would play now, with rich Japanese businessmen buying into shooting weekends and the current crop of Tories being bought by just about everyone? 

I’m sure the Firm has absolute proof Harry is Charles’ son.

Historically and academically, “middle class” referred to the bourgeoisie. Essentially, those who were wealthy, but not actually members of the nobility. What we today (especially in the US) would call the middle class was known as the working class. While the UK has seen some of the same shift in terminology, I…

No wai! Charles Dance is far more handsome and regal-looking than the sagging, ruddy appearance of plain, regular Charles.

Hey, that’s the sexiest bald man alive you are talking about!

Brit here and yes all these things are true. I don’t think the article puts Kate down at all. It lays out the facts of her royal life, which is a carefully curated existance.

I regret to inform you that he is British.

What does Meghan have to do with this comment? Nothing, it seems. So why did you bring her up?

Yeah, a little too posed and LOOK HOW WE’RE SMILING. Also, personal opinion is that Kate’s dress is way too fucking twee for someone in her position. Little sleeve ruffles? Yech. And note to whoever styled those pictures: they don’t have to be wearing the same color to look like they belong together, and the angle of…

I get it, Harry. My dad was a self-centered dick, too.

That’s stretching it.

My 1992 homecoming picture was less awkward than William and Kate’s.

Newsflash, Charlie, no one “deserves” to be a royal. You’re just there because of the dumb luck of which vagina you fell out of.
