Does anyone care?

Pity there wasn’t this much fuss from the general public over his Uncle and the questions about young girls.

Do you not think most of the current fuss is media driven? They are loving this as a story. Perhaps the public are trying to ignore Uncle Andy as the story makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable, quite rightly. The media give him a hard time to be fair but news moves on and he is yesterday's man now.

I think there was as much, if not more.

The media yes, but not the general public, some of the reaction on social media and on radio/tv phones in etc has been unbelievable, almost as if they are ruining peoples lives with their announcement.

The death in prison of Uncle Andy's pal, Jeff Epstein, is now believed to be a murder, not suicide. It's getting plenty of press in the US, although not much mention of the Prince.

"Public ARE trying to ignore"....funny, and I know that it's your language, not ours... but we'd say. "Public IS trying to ignore."

With collective singular nouns, we prioritize the singular rather than the collective in choosing a verb. What's more, we spell prioritize with a "z!"

I wonder how many if any of our local English language alterations were deliberate. My family didn't get here until around 1910, so I'm not responsible.

My Twitter feed was full of it,maybe you’re just noticing this more because you don’t like it.

Personally I say good luck to them.

Perhaps it's because more of the public like H&M than RandyAndy.

Big brother Chuck is a little younger than I am, but not especially young.
I'm guessing that his reign won't be as long as Mum's.

IMO they have attracted the attention to themselves. Others like William and Kate, Princess Ann and her husband, Edward and Sophie and others don't attract all this media attention they keep their heads down and just get on with it. I have no problem with them wanting to keep out of the job but just do it but not start setting yourselves up as a comercial enterprise and expecting to get rich on your Royal credentials while expecting the press to back off.

It appears the gist of it is

To stop getting money from the Sovereign grant and earn their own money

To carry on with the royal duties and charity duties

And build their own life

They want to work


I’m struggling to find what is so awful about their decision

Was good but went downhill towards the end.

That has got to be one of the most boring websites to navigate and read through without wanting to fall asleep.

The problem with that from the little i managed to read without being bored to tears is they're basically only giving up the 5% of their income that comes directly from the sovereign grant. So they're not really giving up a great deal or being as independent as they claim because the rest of their expenses are currently covered by the duchy from the Prince of Wales estate.
If they wanted true independence of the purse strings they'd forgo all of the duchy as well but it seems thats not what they're doing at all, they're effectively only going to work for the 5% they're willing to give up.. I maybe way off with that but truth be told I bored reading through that horrendous attempt at a fact based website.

Yes maybe, she did work on the US 'Deal or No Deal' quiz show Holding the bag with the money in it and did the 'Suits' series which was not exactly an 'A' grade show, think I read she earned around $350K a year doing it.
