    Let's not pretend it is in any way the same thing it was a few hundred years ago.

    Royals used to be the ruling class, the top dogs, the owners. this is obviously not the case any more.

    Now they are just harmless parasites. But if the opportunity came to take back power they would seize it, so we better get rid of monarcs

    Harmless? Tell that to the millions in abject poverty because these fucks leech everything that can.

    If your country has any "royals" at all and even a single person among you is struggling to get enough to eat, earn enough money to survive, or even keep a home... those royals are only harmless to you and even then only in your head. 🤢

    For those unfamiliar with British journalism, the Daily Mirror (sometimes The Mirror) is a shitty British tabloid. If you see them, the Daily Mail, The Sun, the Daily Express, etc. reporting on something and think "I can't believe the media is covering this crap", you should probably check to make sure it's actually "the media" and not just the subset "the shitty tabloid media that will print literally anything idiots will click on".

    She learned Spanish at an early age from her long-time nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo, who hails from Palencia, Spain.

    I wonder if Borrallo ever got her UK citizenship, or she's working under threat of deportation like so many others.
