Zara is not a working royal, does not have security aside from occasionally one-off engagements. |
It’s an order of magnitude. This is not the biggest issue concerning voters. |
Totally agree. I couldn’t tell you where Sussex is on a map, but i do know that harry and Meghan are the king’s son and DIL, and future king’s brother and SIL. Taking away their titles will look so petty to everyone but royal super fans. We all saw what it took to finally take action against Andrew. Harry whining isn’t nearly enough to reach that level. |
You still lied when you said they only showed the backs of the children's heads, although now you say "even if you did find children's faces". Before photo with Meghan:
After:
More photos of the children's FACES:

Apparently Beyond Australia filed a complaint stating that parents did not give consent, children were photographed without permission, and more. That is as unacceptable as someone sending hate messages to the sick children’s parents. |
I’d be pissed if I actually resided or worked in Sussex and these jokers are using the regions name as if they represent my best interests. Let it be up to the residents. |
She serves England through equestrian sport, medaling in the 2012 Olympics as a representative. She shows respect for the royal family and for her country. |
You are just doing the simple math so your numbers are not accurare. There are people in this survey who don't like the monarchy but approve of Charles. There are people who love the monarchy that don't approve of Charles, preferring Charles to step down for William. In your 70% approval for Charles group, there is a percentage, perhsps a large percentage, who do not care for the monarchy but think that Charles is doing a decent job by championing their causes or appearing benevolent and grandfatherly. That 1/3 of people who reject the monarchy did not respond as some monolithic group, with uniform hatred of all things British, especially when you get down to approval numbers of individual people within the monarchy, especially the senior citizen royals and the child royals, who are more of a blank slate. You are just looking at the simple number summary, not actual survey results. A basic stats class will show you how numbers from surveys can be manipulated, and that respondents who answer one way on a broader question tend to not answer as a monolithic identical group on all questions, especially when the questions start getting more specific and nuanced, down to specific people and specific issues. For example, I suspect Princess Anne has fairly high approval rates from people who want the monarchy dissolved You are doing the simple math, and it ain't mathin' or stattin' |
As a private citizen athlete, not a royal |
Again, so what? Here's Kate with young Liz Hatton:
Moreover, you could make a solid argument that your photos were taken by others and posted on their own newssites. Whereas Kate formally posed her photos with Liz, using royal photographers like Chris whatshisname, and then Kate posted these on Kensington Palace's Instagram. |
+1. Spending millions on riding lessons and the best horses (I ride, I know what it takes) is not the win pp thinks it is. |
Get over yourself. The Waleses haven't bothered to learn Welsh, except for that time Willy said he was using Duolingo, and that other time they read from a teleprompter. Charles spent what, six months, studying Welsh in Wales with a private Welsh tutor before his investiture as Prince of Wales. That's another thing, William didn't even bother with an investiture as Prince of Wales. The residents of Sussex thank you for your concern, though

Hahahaha. You don't know how surveys work. Poor you. I worked on surveys at a place you've heard of. There are (at least) two ways to eliminate the non-monarchists before asking the questions about whether respondents like individual people within the monarchy, Charles, William, or the others. Use one of these methods, then proceed accordingly. (1) Ask an initial filter question, such as "do think the monarchy should continue?" If they answer "no" then don't ask them the follow-on question about how they feel about Charles or the others. (2) Include in your popularity question (do you like Charles?) some options for "don't know", "refused," "He should abdicate" and "I don't want the monarchy." Eliminate anyone who gives these other answers and, again, you're left with the pro-monarchists. The fact that more people (33%) *as a whole* dislike the monarchy than dislike Charles (30%) or William (maybe 25%?) individually actually suggests one of the above is happening. |
I forgot option three. Many survey groups have proprietary panels of people they survey. Many survey groups also pay people to participate. These aren't necessarily bad things, if your panel is representative and weighted honestly. But survey groups like YouGov are notorious for exploiting this format (did I mention I'm in the industry?). So, the answer is obvious. Create your own, bespoke panel of pensioners and royalists, and ask them your very tailored questions that help you eliminate the people from that Republic group and other non-royalists. |

It's not about posing with kids or not.
It's about the *hypocrisy* of getting paid to make speeches about the danger of kids being online and being shown online, about making a big point of hiding your own kid's faces in *your* photos, and then showing *other* people's kid's faces for your own publicity. Kate posed with a cancer patient - but she also allows her own kids to be photographed and shown to the British public. So she is a not a hypocrite. I'm calling M&H out for being hypocrites, not debating the merits of whether or not kids should be photographed. |
