    sin-te-da

    
    what? if eastie were here you wouldn't dare call HRH the 
    Prince of Whales a bastard.
    

    Well, nobody's perfect, not even eastie.

    I weep for the 'BoxRepublic.
    

    Well,  seems like ole' east isn't here, and if the shoe fits then 
    the ole' hrh of wails is a bastard!
    
    
    Sin-te-da

    
    I miss Easty.

    
    MegaDittos, Mz_Deb :-(
    

    the brits really ought to grow up and forget about the pagan practice
    of putting people on a pedestal because they were simply born. or wed.
    perhaps if charlie had a real job he would have less time for screwing
    around.
    
    and i told easty as such and he mostly sorta agreed.

		No matter how high or mighty the throne
		What sits on it is the same as yer own.

She's quite a looker.

    It's so hard to tell who is telling what (and for what motives) that I
    just try to ignore the whole sordid affair just like Tonya Harding, OJ
    Simpson, Mikey Jackson, any other royal family (including the
    Kennedys).

    Watched a program called "The Winsors" could have been A & E or PBS,
    not sure.  They have all been bastards, the Queens grandfather,
    great grandfather and great great grandmother.  They are dysfunctional,
    sometimes insane, and generally selfcentered.  And, as half of behavour
    is genetic, they will continue to be that way, after all, how do you
    think they got to be rulers in the first place.
    
    The British Royal family are what they are, just like American
    politicians are who they are.  All I can say, if you don't think it
    works then try running the country without them, you'd be suprised what
    a mess would result.

    >She's quite a looker.
    
                   
    You wot? She's just another Barbie doll, with a bigger than normal
    wardrobe.
    
    Knew she was a wrong 'un from the very first, would never look anyone
    in the eyes, always looking out the corner of 'em.
    
    Pity the wimp Brits of the 17C reinstated the monarchy. Cromwell et al
    had done a fine job up to then. 
    
    We should take a leaf out of the Russkies book........
    
    martin, a brit. 

    I like the pictures of her working out just as much as I like the ones
    of her running around with her top off and her belly bearing a
    child....

    You could be hung under the act of treason for calling Prince Charles
    a bastard. 
    
    Er,at least I think so. It`s an act dating back to the 13th Century.
    
    

     That's weird dating act...

    Chris is alive and well in ne.politics.

    heard that chucko told the princess-to-be the night before they married
    that he didn't love her...but she went thru with it anyway, and she
    knew about his affair with the bowles woman (wonder if she is related
    to bob...)...
    
    i feel bad for her...but have lots of respect for her...

How about a Princess Jack note?

    parker-bowles is married to a once-<fashionable officer in a guards regt
    of that name.

I wouldn't doubt this. And, I suppose, I wouldn't blame her, either.

You can marry for love any day of the week, but you only get one chance to
kiss a frog and become a princess.

re.17 didn,t know chuck was that old...


any way they are all inbred..

    
      from Newsweek, bb...
    
            Divorce to Cost Charles up to $320,000,000
    
      Prince Charles has reportedly offered Princess Diana a lump sum
     of $315 million to $320 million, joint custody of Princes William
     and Harry, and the chance to keep her posh pad in Kensington
     Palace - and the right to hold on to her HRH title.  Charles has
     got to borrow a few quid to become a single man again - but Queen
     Elizabeth is likely to write the check.  The word is the queen wants
     the affair settled soon so her youngest son, Prince Edward, can
     reveal his own engagement to his longstanding girlfriend, Sophie
     Rhys-Jones.  Diana's lawyer hinted that the princess would sign off
     on the divorce settlement this week.
    
     

Anybody know what the Royal Family's net worth is?

    To much!

    	$300M?
    
    	Geez, even I'D marry and divorce him for that.
    
    	I just hope he'd be gentle.
    

    Did she ever get to say "I offer you my honour"?

    re: royal money settlement
    
    It's all "funny money" anyway, because when she dies it just goes
    to her kids and thus right back into the family anyway, right?
    How much money can you spend on depreciating, disposable consummables
    in one lifetime, after all?  You can only buy so many Rolls Royces
    and the like.
    
    Chris

    not rteally, chris, we KNOW Di will remarry, and any sane man will have
    a prenupital agreement with her in order to have some of the take in
    case the marriage goes Charles again...   :-)  

    I think Gates is wealthier than the Queen/Royal family
    (dynasty/complex/corporation, etc.), but she's way up there.
