Maybe I am a prude, maybe I should lighten up like Francis. But all this fascination of the Royal Wedding and the Royal Family is annoying to me. Many a GOOD man give his life to banish such from this country. These lines from Shaara's 'The Killer Angels' puts it well:
No two things on earth are equal or have an equal chance, not a leaf nor a tree. There's many a man worse than me, and some better, but I don't think race or country matters a damn. What matters is justice. 'Tis why I'm here. I'll be treated as I deserve, not as my father deserved. I'm Kilrain, and I God damn all gentlemen. I don't know who me father was and I don't give a damn. There's only one aristocracy, and that's right here - " he tapped his white skull with a thick finger

What I find interesting is that most of these silly titles mean nothing, absolutely nothing. So you’re the Duke of Sussex. You have no control of Sussex, no special powers in Sussex.
Oh, I take that back. Maybe you get to cut the ribbon when a new store opens in Sussex.

This is true enough, but to watch my Irish friends on Facebook and their reactions to the royal wedding, it has been worth the price of admission. Most of them are eerily silent today or they are poo-pooing the entire event.

Now, if they had included Lizzy II using a gold scepter on Harry’s head while conferring these nonsense titles, 50mm would have tuned in, but just for the scepter part.

As well they should. The British brought nothing but misery to Ireland.

This picture makes me recall some story from a few years ago when some guy married this beautiful woman. When they had a kid it was ugly as hell. He found out the wife had a whole lot of plastic surgery and she was ugly as hell prior to the surgery.
He was so pissed he divorced her.

THANK YOU. yes, i figured that ... thanks thanks...
(I was just reacting to the article text itself.....
possibly i reacted a bit too quickly? but anyway.... the wording that triggered my inquiry was...
“titles reflecting the three historic realms England, Scotland and Ireland that made up the United Kingdom.”
seemed a bit imprecise, maybe not...
anyway its fine with me...
thanks!

It was - up until what, 1927?
The blue with white diagonals on the Union Jack is the cross of St. Patrick. White with red plus = cross of St. George (England), White with red diagonals = cross of St. Andrew (Scotland).

Do they ever run out of places to be Dukes of? What if someone wants to be a Duke of someplace else, like Duke of Earl, or Duke of Entenmanns?
To: scrabblehack
got it, THANKS!
and the article’s sentence DID say...”traditionally MADE up” so it was carefully in the PAST tense...making it more accurate than it sounded on first blush
got it!
thanks
very much
