Oh good Lord! “Relatives will be attacked????”

Seriously?? About the only rioters left in the UK are football hooligans (aka Soccer Weenies)and ROP adherents. Everyone else minds their own business.

So unless Jack the Ripper was named “Mohammed ibn Pele de Maradona” there ain’t gonna be no stinkin’ riots

And even if he was a senior Royal (as is widely alleged) so freaking what? Its not as if the Royal Family has not had weirdos in the recent past

Heck one of their Kings had to step down just last century as he wanted to marry a (gasp!) American :)

It does not get more scandalous than marrying an American....

No........a more than once divorced American, who was still married at the time. Please get your facts straight! It was the multiple divorces, more than Wallis being an American!

The latest on the Ripper is that he was a Jew. Forget the relative angle............if true, this could become an anti-Semitic problem! And yes, England has had an often more sub rosa anti-Semite problem, than an open one, but there have been times, since Jews were allowed back into England, that it was rife.......even when the the Jews had converted to Christianity.

A divorced American. It was a double-whammy for the Royal Family

Actually, Wallis Warfield was a multiple divorcee with a very shaky reputation.

England lucked out as they got the king they really needed (George VI) instead of Edward VIII who became Duke of Windsor. He was a problem his whole worthless life and had to be exiled in fact to Bermuda during WW-2 because he was a NAZI sympathizer. He managed to cause a scandal or two there as well.

Now as to Americans, Diana's mother was an American and that dna has been very beneficial to the Windsor line.

So there! ;^)

Many of the aristocracy married Americans.

Churchill, the Astors etc. The problem with her was she was a divorced woman, seen as a golddigger with a questionable past and seen as ‘common’.

Vile woman frankly. Even more pro-nazi than inbred hubby.

She was also a divorcee, which at one time was frowned upon.
