I, on the other hand, proposed to my wife in our bedroom (we were living together already) one night after getting into bed. We were talking and the topic of marriage came up, and she said, “Well, if you want to propose, you better have a ring,” thinking that this would probably put me off a while. So I walked over…

Royals, and the ultra-rich in general, only have two characteristics more commonly than the general population: bloodthirstiness and luck.

They even prepared an alternate film reel in case she said no where Prince Charming-Loechler eats TV dinners alone in his squalid, depressing apartment while Fauna, Flora and Merryweather float around looking disgusted. 

The tabloids will have much, much less access to them since H&M won’t be part of the royal rota and won’t be in the UK half the time. It also cuts down on the random “sources say” crap.

If the British had won, my ancestors would have been free sooner.

She knew what she was getting into, but Harry is Not Having It and his family is refusing to back them up.

The publisher behind the overwhelming majority of this coverage is Rupert Murdoch.

Very cute, but....Sleeping Beauty is their favorite movie?

You’re surprised that a right-wing trash rag/tabloid has it in and is biased towards a half-black, liberal commoner from south central LA who married into their precious royal family?!?

Aww, that’s adorable. Too bad marriage is a goddamned lie.

The relationship between the British press and their royalty is baffling, hilarious, and deeply creepy. “How dare our prince step back from his sacred royal duties of presenting awards, attending funerals and pretending to run charities! And just because we’ve been relentlessly abusing him and his wife for years? This…

Can we wait until the oldest generations keels? I think they’re pure sinew and mottled skin at this point.

That line from Season 3 of The Crown is coming to mind.

I can’t recommend 1917 enough.

Was there a new one? I think Dec. 21 w/Eddie Murphy was the last new one. The next new one is Jan. 25 w/Kylo Ren.

Yeah, it was a little weird that people over a certain age - in-universe, I’m not sure what that would be - had to be told about this for the first time.

Star Wars is so terrible.
