Why are we calling this literal infant "master"? At this point, he's only the master of sleeping and shitting.

Gonna be honest, I am pretty surprised that the douchebag son of a gaudy Arab oil sheik hasn't tried to buy his way into the Royal Family yet. Seems like that would've been a more likely source of diversity for the Crown than a mulatto actresses marrying in.

It's worse. Who wants the Royal Family to be typified by gold-plated Hummers, Ferraris, and morally questionable conflict of interest in Saudi Arabia's northern oil fields?

Let's not act like multinational media conglomerates that are often state-funded and have considerable sway over public opinion are entirely the result of rational market forces acting independently.


And yet 29 million Americans tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding in 2018.

Yeah, I'm sure the state conglomerate is entirely responsible for making people turn on their tvs and watch.

As far as I know, Master Archie has not said if he will use that or not. All he's said is, "Ask me Da."

Rather passé, they've already tried.

Fortunately MI6 saw to that. It would be embarrassing to have an Arab, much less a Bavarian, in the line of succession.

Yeah, gotta keep that Battenberg-Glucksburg-Coburg-Gotha blood purely English as it is. Down with the Bavarians!
