[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the British papers want the terrorists to win.  The entire expense is because of fears of terrorists.  No specific or credible threat, just a (warranted) abundance of caution.  [/quote]

No, the entire expense comes from the fact that she wants an open-air carriage ride. The price of the security detail would drop by 1.5 million without that.

I had an open air carriage ride at my wedding.  It was romantic.  You're saying that Eugenie shouldn't because of the possibility of a terrorist attack.  So you think the terrorists should win.[/quote]

What is with you and the terrorists?

Government MPs and many of the public think Eugenie shouldn't have a carriage ride because she's NOBODY. She doesn't work as a royal. She shouldn't be costing 2 million in security.

Andrew's always been a spoiled brat [b](demanding his daughters get an HRH when Princess Anne didn't)[/b] but this takes the cake. Let HIM pay for it.

That's the law in England and has been for a long time. Children of monarch's sons get called HRH. Anne's kids aren't entitled to that because she's a woman (same reason Queen Elizabeth's cousins through her aunt Mary aren't HRH) and they don't have any other titles because her husband didn't want a title. Andrew didn't make any "demands." Yes, it's admirable that Anne and Edward tried to keep their kids out of the spotlight by reducing their titles but that doesn't mean Andrew has to make the same choice.[/quote]

Nonsense. Princess Anne and her husband Mark Phillips, specifically requested their children not be referred to with royal titles or protocol from their births. It allowed them much more natural lives, though as grandchildren of the monarch it's always a stretch. Both were offered titles by QEII when they came of age. They declined. [/quote]

You are both right and wrong. Princess Anne’s kids, by law, are not entitled to royal titles. However, when the children were born the Queen offered to bestow Royal titles on them and Princess Anne declined.

To the point of the thread, I’m not a fan of the York’s. Eugenie is a freeloader and should pay for the security   [/quote]
