Stalling for the muslims....
Let the Baron arrive in Scotland and unfurl his standard, and call for the clans to assemble; and the spirit of Braveheart and Bonnie Prince Charlie might assert itself again.
And with Sean Connery joining the forces, how could Scotland lose?
An independent Scotland will then use its offshore oil to
join Opec; and use its oil revenues to buy enough F-15s to keep the Brits at bay.
(Well, a Scot can always dream, can’t he. . . ?)
What kind of dude is the Duke? Won’t this really fry Prince Charles and Camilla? Boy, Prince William and Harry will be out in cold. Queen will be in a bind, and having to give up Buckingham Palace...moving is a b....!
Hmm. That Duke isn’t a descendant of the Hapsburgs is he?
Ye’re cawkin the claith ere the wab be i the loom.
Nymphenberg Palace ?
Best line for historical accuracy and sure to goad the current occupants of Buckingham Palace: “We would just exchange one German family for another one.”
After the turn of the 20th century and before The Great War, many in England’s royal house had only a minimal acquaintance with the English language and those that did speak English did so with a heavy German accent.
Do it! Do it! Do it! Throw Prince Charles fully onto the mercies and fortunes of Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Since all of Europe is one political entity now, is this like a rich guy from Iowa becoming the Governor of New Hampshire? What difference would it make if Great Britain is simply a region of the EU?
WOW, those pics make it slumming for him to move, don’t you think? Besides Bavaria is more beautiful than London anyday....It’s the “Nymph” en burg that makes you wonder?
Niece is nice.
Way better looking royalty then Her Lady Carmilla Apalloosa.
He’d probably make a fortune if he’d just rent out rooms.
Of course, given it’s name, it would attract dirty old men.
Ay, and we’ll never see them in Kirkcudbright!
A Scot can dream, but that sounds like a nightmare.
Besides, at the time the majority of Scots backed the Hanoverians against the Jacobites anyway, so they were complicit in the change of dynasty. Its a bit late to change their minds now!
Now I could imagine a bachelor pad for myself just like that...
(Well, a Scot can always dream, can’t he. . . ?)
Just a scent of hyperbole there? Would be news to the Swiss, the Norwegians, and quite a few others.
Bismarck famously called Saxony-Colberg, "the stud farm of Europe", because of all the princes married off to European royalty.
