Prince William refuses to be King

Star ^ | Oct. 18

[Milosevic2]

In an interview with the Star Magazine, "Prince William has stunned his father Prince Charles
by vowing he'll never be king -- because he can't forgive the royal family for the way they mistreated his beloved mom, Princess Diana."

[Milosevic2]

It seems that once again, like in the case of Elian, the love between parents and children was stronger than TOTAL evil. Will William pay with his life for this ?
Check links between Diana, Milosevic and John Kennedy Jr.

What are you saying?

[Shermy]

In an interview with the Weekly World News, Prince William reveals that the House of Windsor are outer space aliens. the bonny Prince stated: "I mean, god, look at my dad's ears!"

[DoughtyOne]

Speaking of an entity that treated his mom like cow dung, where does the Star magazine fit in? Yep, this is the interview I'm sure Prince William has been dying to grant.

[BossLady]

As long as those royals live (the Queen Mum is a million years old) and the fact Prince Charles will never give up his throne....I dont think Prince William will have to worry about becoming king for a good 30 years....LOL.

[RobFromGa]

Reminds me of the Monthy Python & The Holy Grail movie: "But, I don't want to be a King, I just want to Sing...."

[RobFromGa]

I guess the fling with Britney Spears must not be going well.

[mercy]

Smart kid. What a dead end job.

[paulsy]

"Will William pay with his life for this?"

huh?

[jrherreid]

Stop that! We'll have none of that!

I think he's gonna go with Britney, cuz she has huge tracts of land.

[Kennard]

Of what relevance are monarchs to FreeRepublicans?

[socal_parrot]

More from that scene-

King-"Son, one day, all of this will be yours."

Son-"What? The curtains?"

[Carry_Okie]

Bad breeding.

[Paul Atreides]

Well if it is in the Star it HAS to be true!! Doesn't it?

[Niagara]

""Will William pay with his life for this?"

Let's not argue and bicker about who killed who, this is a joyous ocassion!

[jra]

One word: YAWN.

[umbra]

Just read the same thing article says we will renounce the throne to Harry in protest over the treatment of his dead mother.

[TrueBeliever9]

A few months ago my good friend said that Prince William would not be King that it would pass to Prince Harry; she did not know how or why but she knew this would happen!

[Squire]

Does she have huge tracts of land, or, rather, huge tracts of landfill? Landfill that she bought from Pam Anderson, I believe.

[drjimmy]

I hate to break it to you, but Prince Charles doesn't even have the throne yet (that's why he's still called "prince" instead of "king") and probably never will. His mummy QEII won't give it up, and Charles may end up being passed over completely so it goes straight to William (never mind what the tabloids say).

[ken5050]

Reread the headline....is he vowing that is it his father,Prince Charles, who will never be King?"

[RobFromGa]

Just read the same thing article says we will renounce the throne to Harry in protest over the treatment of his dead mother.

Their mother is DEAD??? When did this happen? This is just terrible news, she was such a good princess and mother. Please provide a link, I am just shattered...

[Looking4Truth]

Smart kid. What a dead end job.

Yeah, talk about boring......all you get to do all day is gallavant around the world looking important and hob-nobbing with heads of state....boring dinner parties with left-wing 'celebrities'....absolutely no chance for advancement......media hounding you day and night.....oh, and having to sit thru another Elton John queerdom performance wearing an AIDS ribbon......fuggedaboutit!

[monkey]

He must be taking a Shakespeare class.

[Nonstatist]

Maybe the little brat will also forswear his inheritence, money wise? Then he can go out and get a job, and his appeal to teenage groupies will be diminished somewhat.

Yeah, thats the ticket. You can wallow in anonymity and penury (yea,right), for all I care. Rotten brat.

[Alberta's Child]

I don't give a crap who or what becomes the king of England, but there is an interesting background to this story.

When Charles and Diana first separated, Diana was so pissed off at the Royal Family that she threatened to convert to Catholicism along with the two sons. This would have made them ineligible ever to become king of England -- British law allows a Buddhist or Moslem to become king, but never a Catholic.

It was Mother Teresa who actually talked her out of this, since she recognized that a "conversion" based on spite wasn't much of a conversion at all.

[Toidylop]

Who's he?

[umbra]

Hello Britney Spears!

[EricT.]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!One of the best Python scenes ever!!!

[drstevej]

I don't give a crap who or what becomes the king of England..

Why not just plaster over the Queen Mum and duct tape her to the throne and let her reign forever and ever. Amen

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Ref post #8. Yeah, no advancement. Not a marketable career choice at all. I mean, should he want to change jobs, where else can he become king – Disney’s Magic Kingdom?

[Teacher317]

FATHER: One day, lad, all this will be yours!

PRINCE HERBERT: What, the curtains?

FATHER: No. Not the curtains, lad. All that you can see, stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land! This'll be your kingdom, lad.

HERBERT: But Mother--

FATHER: Father, lad. Father.

HERBERT: B-- b-- but Father, I don't want any of that.

FATHER: Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.

HERBERT: But I don't want any of that. I'd rather--

FATHER: Rather what?!

HERBERT: I'd rather... [music] ...just... sing!

FATHER: Stop that! Stop that! You're not going into a song while I'm here. Now listen, lad. In twenty minutes, you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain.

HERBERT: B-- but I don't want land.

FATHER: Listen, Alice,--

HERBERT: Herbert.

FATHER: 'Erbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.

HERBERT: But-- but I don't like her.

FATHER: Don't like her?! What's wrong with her?! She's beautiful. She's rich. She's got huge... tracts o' land!

HERBERT: I know, but I want the-- the girl that I marry to have... [music] ...a certain,... special... something!

FATHER: Cut that out! Cut that out! Look, you're marrying Princess Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea!
[smack] Guards! Make sure the Prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get him.

GUARD #1: Not to leave the room even if you come and get him.

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: No, no. Until I come and get him.

GUARD #1: Until you come and get him, we're not to enter the room.

FATHER: No, no. No. You stay in the room and make sure he doesn't leave.

GUARD #1: And you'll come and get him.

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: Right.

GUARD #1: We don't need to do anything apart from just stop him entering the room.

FATHER: No, no. Leaving the room.

GUARD #1: Leaving the room. Yes. [sniff]

FATHER: All right?

GUARD #1: Right.

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: Right.

GUARD #1: Oh, if-- if-- if, uhh-- if-- if-- w-- ehh-- i-- if-- if we--

FATHER: Yes? What is it?

GUARD #1: Oh, i-- if-- i-- oh--

FATHER: Look, it's quite simple.

GUARD #1: Uh...

FATHER: You just stay here and make sure 'e doesn't leave the room. All right?

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: Right.

GUARD #1: Oh, I remember. Uhh, can he leave the room with us?

FATHER: N-- no, no. No. You just keep him in here and make sure he--

GUARD #1: Oh, yes. We'll keep him in here, obviously, but if he had to leave and we were with him--

FATHER: No, no, no, no. Just keep him in here--

GUARD #1: Until you or anyone else--

FATHER: No, not anyone else. Just me.

GUARD #1: Just you...

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: Get back.

GUARD #1: Get back.

FATHER: All right?

GUARD #1: Right. We'll stay here until you get back.

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: And, uh, make sure he doesn't leave.

GUARD #1: What?

FATHER: Make sure 'e doesn't leave.

GUARD #1: The Prince?

FATHER: Yes. Make sure 'e doesn't leave.

GUARD #1: Oh, yes, of course.

GUARD #2: Hic!

GUARD #1: Ah. I thought you meant him. You know, it seemed a bit daft me havin' to guard him when he's a guard.

FATHER: Is that clear?

GUARD #2: Hic!

GUARD #1: Oh, quite clear. No problems.

FATHER: Right. Where are you going?

GUARD #1: We're coming with you.

FATHER: No, no. I want you to stay here and make sure 'e doesn't leave.

GUARD #1: Oh, I see. Right.

HERBERT: But Father!

FATHER: Shut your noise, you! And get that suit on!
[music]
And no singing!

GUARD #2: Hic!

FATHER: Oh, go and get a glass of water. [clank]

[E=MC²]

To quote Rhett Butler, "Apparently, even a bad mother is better than no mother at all".

[jrherreid]

FATHER:

Listen, Alice,--

HERBERT:

Herbert.

FATHER:

'Erbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.

HERBERT:

But-- but I don't like her.

FATHER:

Don't like her?! What's wrong with her?! She's beautiful. She's rich. She's got huge... tracts o' land!

[CommiesOut]

There is Prince William County not far from me. They have a very long stretch of highwy called Prince William Co. Pkwy. Instead of good old mile markers they told us to install kilometer markers along this road.
There is no end to insults toward the Queen...

[nopardons]

It's IMPOSSIBLE for Prince Charles to be " passed over ", and anyone else to be made king, upon his mother's demise. If you knew history, you'd know this already.

King Edward's father, thought him absolutely unsuitabe for the position; however , he DID , indeed , become KING EDWARD ; only to abdicate the throne. Why don't you knw this ? Before you decide to post a reply, please think twice begore doing so, when you don't even have the most tenuous grasp of the topic.

[socal_parrot]

LOL

Just after that-

Arrow with a note tied to hit hits brave Concord in the heart.

Concord- Message for you sir.

[Sparticle]

The Queen Mum's very first reaction upon news of the death was to demand information on the whereabouts of the family jewels worn on Diana's corpse.

Looks like Prince William will be keeping them out of the dynastic line.

[Squire]

Lighten up, Francis. People are just kidding around -- nobody cares what happens with these in-breds anyway.

But, more to your point, nothing's impossible when it comes to this "royals" business. After all, the Windsor family aren't even the legitimate monarchs in the first place. The Stewarts are the legitimate British monarchs. So, if an illegitimate dynasty can sit on the throne for 300 years, ANYTHING can happen.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

lighten up. We are all having fun.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

You beat me to it!

[Terriergal]

"But, I don't want to be a King, I just want to Sing...."

LOL Thanks for the laugh!

[Terriergal]

Their mother is DEAD??? When did this happen? This is just terrible news, she was such a good princess and mother. Please provide a link, I am just shattered...

You're uh... you're kidding, right?

[umbra]

Charles will never be king, bank on it. Harry may not take it either so then what?

[steve in DC]

I don't have a very high degree of tolerance for monarchies as a form of government, even in the largely ceremonial sense as in the UK.

But his renunciation of the crown is kind of a hollow protest as long as he retains any pretentions to the rank and titles afforded him as a member of the "royal family".

Either you are "in the game" with all of this peerage stuff, or you are not. I mean, is he renouncing his position in the lineage, and on throughout all of his children and their generations? Is he really declaring himself to be "a commoner" (as the gentry so gently put it).

Or is he simply looking to follow in the madcap and carefree footsteps of his good old Uncle Andy? Lots of cash, not a care in the world, castles, serfs, vassels, porn stars for bed warmers.

What a life!

[marshmallow]

This is "Breaking News" if ever there was.

Wanted: One King. Apply in person at Buckingham Palace.

Keep up the good work.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

I remember when William was a little kid, he announced he wanted to be a policeman. No joke.
