    There's enough of a resemblance that they could be sisters! But Kate has just a hint of devilry about her that makes her very attractive indeed.

    For a couple that wants to leave the Royal set they don't half dine out on the benefits that it gives them. Lets face it, without that stupid Royal tag what are they? An attractive middle aged lady and a balding ginger lad that used to single handelly take on the taliban if you believed the Daily hate Mail. I guess its the strange celebrity obssessed world we live in today . Personally couldn't give a fook about any of them, they've done knack all for me or any of my family.

    I did say that I think they offer a lot to tourism in the UK and they are of interest to other diplomats. While it changes nothing for the likes of me and you I recognise they do have a positive impact.

    I don't really think Princess Do walked through a minefield for your benefit, mate. I mean I shouldn't imagine in your day to day life you go anywhere near any minefields, not unless you count this forum.

    She didn't walk through a minefield, it was staged. Don't rally think they were gonna risk of the most famous women in the women being turned into minced beef.

    Even if it was staged she was doing it to garnish awareness about an issue that was relevant to lots people around the world but maybe not you.

    My family background is exactly the same as yours. My dad's mum and dad born and bred in Bradford, my other gran the daughter of Irish Immigrants and my other grandad came over from Kilkenny in 1922 looking for work.
    If the Royal family don't know you or your family how can they possibly have a view on you, positive or negative.

    They do generate way more money for the country than they cost and outside the direct people they employ there is even more secondary jobs they generate. We are one of the few countries with anything approaching a traditional monarchy so it’s a major draw that would start to diminish if we scrapped them

    August Philip Hawke brooksbank

    Nah, dont be so daft they have to double down on stupid.

    Born in Feb so call him August.
    At least it is a boy so the duke of york can babysit.

    Dont wave at the buggers, it only encourages them.

    TBH that Eugenie lass is a bit of a munter.

    You can just hear the nanny now: "August, August come here at once" :eyes:

    It's not strange. It's about control. They want to be able to choose and monetise their public appearances and control the information that the public has about them.
    But modern celebrity doesn't work like that. If you put yourself in the public eye then your past and your private interactions become of interest to many people and therefore sell papers and boost viewing figures. So the media will do what it can to scrape beneath the surface cosmetics and get to the stuff beneath. Actually, that's not just modern celebrity - it's always been like that, but modern technology provides greater opportunities and more hostages to fortune.
