Genstabler: SASless is alright...he's one of the good ones...just cool down a little eh? He has a point, there are Zilions out there who couldn't give a fig about the Royals....and rightly so in their world. No harm in it. I don't see anyone here raving about the Jordanian Royal Family or the King of Monaco.
It's just steeped in our history. I have had my fair share of mixing with the royals during my time. Believe me, William is different. He is so in tune with reality..he will transform the Monarchy beyond recognition and bring it into line with 21st century demands. He is also a competent and confident pilot.
SAS: Royalty gives us Brits a sense of belonging, it is our link with the past and all our history. It's hard not having the same over in Yank land, I know but we tried and failed to share ours with yours in the late 1800's. Never mind perhaps when Hilary becomes President..........
