    Good, now strip the rest of them of their titles as well.

    (Random bit of trivia: The last time a British prince was stripped of his titles was in the 1400s.)

    Self preservation of The Crown. They know he’s smearing the entire Royal brand and seek to reverse the damage that’s been done without sending him to prison. That’s not going to work though.

    He might end up getting Diana’d before this is all over.

      This feels really odd to type out, but while it seems like the Charles’ brother, godfather and friend were all paedophiles, I don’t think he is.

      I think we probably would have gotten a hint of something with the Epstein stuff. I still think he’s evil and probably ignored all the paedophilia as something you are allowed to do if rich (all the while tut-tut-ing that “it’s rather vulgar”).

      CW talk of sex and menstruation

      There was a thing when he was still married to Diana that a leaked conversation with Carmilla his lover at the time (now wife), that he wanted to live inside her pants forver and suggested one option would be as a tampon. The exchange is very banal and kind of just healthy? Like here’s a guy in 1989 talking about tampons without acting weird

      Like he’s a ghoul that should have all his wealth and titles stripped from him and force to sweep streets. But that’s the vibe I have.

          Yeah and it was also just a made up name to make them sound less German.

              Also it sounds better than the Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha and they can pretend they aren’t part of the biggest incestous clan in entire history of humanity.

            mountbatten was also taken to make them sound less Greek

              I wonder what they had changed it from previous to the Greek name. Hopefully something that sounded too English.

                it was weirdly far back, but i think it might have actually been a family with a German name that got the kingship of Denmark and Greece, so actually Mountbatten might have also just been to get away from a German name as well.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
