Would you like to be a Royal?

It's a good job Philip's still alive or you'd all be bleating on about her being a single mother too.

Admittedly, he's 'spoken out of turn' now and again, but she's never put a foot wrong. Something that some of her offspring would do well to try to emulate.

True, but doing your job properly should be the norm.

There's doing your job properly, and there's doing your job under total scrutiny, and not making a mistake of note. For decades.
Just IMHO, of course.

Do you admire the tube drivers' dedication to duty?
Not quite so well paid and fewer holidays.

That's a bloody laugh. If someone offered me an extra £200 on top of my wages for working a night shift, I'd snap his hand off, instead of going on strike. Specially if I was already earning close to £50,000 per year for my 36 hr weeks, with paid holiday entitlement of 43 days per year.

That's the point.

Normal workers who receive a decent wage are held in contempt (jealousy) but the Queen who receives virtually unlimited wealth in return for her job - being born - is admired for her dedication.

Do YOU think you could do the job of a front line royal?

Of course, anyone could do it.

Do you believe they are some kind of super being? Divine perhaps?

You are being ridiculous.

 

[longdogs]

You are being ridiculous.

Not really, it's like any job - you just have to learn it. And let's be honest, if they do make a mistake, they are not going to get the sack. ie: naked in Vegas, smoking pot, Hitler costumes, tampon tapes, 'slit eye'd b******s etc etc.

There are zero bod's on here who could deliver a speech in front of millions. ZERO.

Spot on mate. Thing is some twonks need stuff to "look up to". Peeps on here spouting how hard the queen works, no one else could do it blah blah.
If she had a knob they'd suck it for sure.

Will you still be working at her age? Will you have a target on your back? You can shop at Greggs - but she can't. She can't do anything, she is a slave.

 

[Deleted member 63160]

She can't do anything, she is a slave.

Yeh blah blah. She's worth about half a billion quid, like all slaves. She's seen more, been more and done more than most ever will. She could shop at Greggs anytime she wanted to. They would shut a town so she could shop at Greggs. She could buy Greggs. Thing is she wouldn't want to cos she doesn't eat the trash many have to. Oh and no I won't be working at her age. Like most people I will probably be dead before I am 88. Why? Because I haven't had a pampered cossetted existance like her. If though I am still alive then I doubt I will be paid millions a year to go on holiday constantly and wave at people.

There isn't a single person on this forum who could handle the job of a front line royal. Not even close.

Do you know what a typical day consists of?

It may be seen as a cushy number but I doubt 'HRH' has time to read/post on forums like all of us. She doesn't know what she's missing!!

It looks a very busy 'job' to me. I certainly wouldn't want it.
Worse than that, her life is not her own. Now I'm retired, I can do pretty much what I want (subject to orders from my first wife, of course); she hasn't retired (can't?) and, from what I can see, has little time to call her own.
