Or paying for any other vice you may have. Talk about the (grand)mother of all guilt trips.

Prince William has American ancestors (through his mother’s mother’s father’s mother), so we may soon have the first King of England with the blood of American Revolutionaries.

Except I goofed. Philip’s paternal grandmother was Russian, not his mother.

It does not really matter.
They goofed. Not you.
Those folks are all goofy.
My best regards to you, and do not worry about a bunch of rich nuts with invented titles.

When you compare it to hiring the village idiot from somewhere in Kenya, hereditary monarchy starts looking pretty good. At least the Queen doesn't need a teleprompter to give a speech. And she actually knows how to act when she's visiting the White House.

The monarchy is not elected; the United Kingdom has a herditary monarchy with strict rules about who is to succede to the throne when a monarch dies or abdicates. Unless they all die at the same time while getting their picture taken, then, by law, John Goodman gets it.

Don’t know about that. Ole Harry is getting trained to fight from a helicopter. That could be some sort of pre-invasion thingy or somethingy.
