Or paying for any other vice you may have. Talk about the (grand)mother of all guilt trips.

Prince William has American ancestors (through his mother’s mother’s father’s mother), so we may soon have the first King of England with the blood of American Revolutionaries.

Except I goofed. Philip’s paternal grandmother was Russian, not his mother.

It does not really matter.

They goofed. Not you.

Those folks are all goofy.

My best regards to you, and do not worry about a bunch of rich nuts with invented titles.

When you compare it to hiring the village idiot from somewhere in Kenya, hereditary monarchy starts looking pretty good. At least the Queen doesn't need a teleprompter to give a speech. And she actually knows how to act when she's visiting the White House.

Unless they all die at the same time while getting their picture taken, then, by law, John Goodman gets it.

P.S.

With the exception of Emperor Hirohito, he was a respected marine biologist worldwide.

Don’t know about that. Ole Harry is getting trained to fight from a helicopter. That could be some sort of pre-invasion thingy or somethingy.

My teachers all told me that there are no stupid questions.

So much for that theory.
