Your reply lacks logic.

William and his wife are not responsible for the fact that Great Britain was involved in the Opium Wars, any more than you are responsible for the deeds of your ancestors and their government; we cannot control the behavior of people long dead.

I point out that Catherine comes from middle-class origins and you don't seem to like that, either. Do you also hate the middle class?

The British monarchy and aristocracy doesn't hold people in subjugation and doesn't have much power at all these days. It's not clear what you're resenting, but the Brits have as much opportunity for advancement as we do, and arguably a government system at least as representative as ours. In any case these young people are not in control of the election choices Brits make and are definitely not commies, as you maintain without evidence.

So the Windsor kids don't work as hard as you think they ought. As mentioned, William is a serving military officer and pilot. Kate is a stay-at-home mother. Not rough work, but so what? Why do you care if someone doesn't have to work hard?

Do you hate everybody who is rich and happy, or just those who inherited money, or just Brits? Whatever your answer, you might do well to ask yourself why it makes you so angry.

“I point out that Catherine comes from middle-class origins”

“A serf, prol, subject”

“The British monarchy and aristocracy doesn’t hold people in subjugation and doesn’t have much power at all these days.”

You may want to check up on that they, have plenty of power. Otherwise they wouldn’t exist. Their lack of power and the
propaganda that they are more of a tourist attraction
is a ruse.

Class envy? Shallow retort.

Just Brits. You’ll have to go to England, sit at a few bars,
shop a few markets and talk to a few locals. Make sure they
know your American and you’ll find out just what they think
of us. The British are just as “reconquista” as the mexicans.
You’ll have to know a little about the civil war to understand
that one. I believe that if England ever thought they had
a tactical advantage they would try to take back
the “colonies”.

Pay close attention to England, they are our ally now but
thats only as long as we are of convenience to them. The England form of Government is a constitutional monarchy, which combines a monarch head of state with a parliamentary system with the constant creep of socialism. In other words they
are socialists with a queen.
