It also kinda looks like its done in the style of Viz. "Elizabeth Windsor...she asks what shade their skins are..." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Charlie Hebdo will never publish anything remotely as funny as Donald Trump saying "if the morons who killed all those people at Charlie Hebdo would have just waited, the magazine would have folded - no money, no success!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I skipped the interview and have tried to avoid the endless stories since. But through osmosis some of the stuff has come through. My biggest thought though is: what was the point of the interview? It can only be money - take a few million quid to trash the family on TV. I just don't get the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps her profile high which is important if they're going to make a life out of media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I didn't know that Harry had said the stuff about him (and Charlie and Willie) being "trapped" by the Institution - which seems a bit more of a story than anything else - until I saw the clip of him saying that on Googlebox. Seems strange the press wouldn't mention that (though not really). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might see some of them choose to not have much involvement after Lizzie pops her clogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugenie is desperate for the attention and cash it brings, she even got the tax payer to spunk at least a million probably on her wedding to a millionaire. You would hope by now there would be at least some consensus that those in direct line to the throne can stay at Buckingham Palace and have some of the life, but the rest of the hangers on can pay for their own accomodation and if they feel they need it security. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugenie is a c**t though so none of that above surprises me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Eugenie has the bare faced cheek to remind people her dad still has the ear of the queen and is being bankrolled by us is unbelievable.

They'll probably end up as very expensive after dinner speakers when Covid goes away. Not really sure what he expected there, right enough. If he doesn't want to do the "work" then he shouldn't expect his arrangements funded by the UK taxpayer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 When they quit their duties, they said they wanted to be "financially independent". But much now to complain of being cut off! But then you have to wonder how they could make money. Aside from being famous for who they are, what can they do? What skills do they have? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 It is a serious question. She was indeed a minor actor in a successful TV show (hardly a household name), and apparently it was suggested to her that she keep acting but she said no. She could do that now, with her profile as it is a movie or two would see them sorted for life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They could corner the market in 'Shakespeare in a Chopper'. Megan could do the acting and Harry could fly the helicopter. Suggest it to Netflix and they'd probably commission it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
