I just can’t believe Dukes and Duchesses are still a thing in 2019.
My company’s new style guide says we shouldn’t refer to doctors as Dr. so and so (a choice I agree with) but we still call “Lords” Lord whatever, even though they have regular names.
If they don't bring out the baby for the TV cameras soon, I suspect a lot of people in the UK are going to explode. Surely everyone is dying to know what colour he is, and is he going to be dark enough to kill off the duke of edinburgh? And is he going to be ginger?
There was much pontificating on the Beeb earlier about whether the new, adorable little drain on taxpayers would have a name which reflected his American / "Bi-racial" (TLMG made some interesting faces at all THAT bullshit) heritage.
I hope they name him Shaquille or similar. That should get the gammon simmering nicely.
A lot of Irish people fought for and helped administer the Empire, of course. It's only right for you to take an interest in what your ancestors helped create.
this is fusiliers arch, the entrance to Stephen's Green
This is the Graduates memorial Building in TCD, where I spent most of my time in college. It's also where a lot of Educating Rita was shot. And going into a Church of Ireland church is an object lesson in military titles and the dangers of military service overseas. The Boer war was also a big issue for irish nationalists.
George Osborne is going to become the 18th baronet of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon, which are two townlands outside Dungarvan in Waterford. He may as well be called Baron on Abuja, or of Karachi.
Btw someone has deleted the reference to ballentaylor and ballylemon from both Osborne's Wiki page, and that of his father. I wonder what was happening there.

After seeing Trump cuddle Tiger Woods, I'm coming round to the Royals as a lesser sellout. Go and get your gong from a white gloved hand, get a fixed smile and that's your lot.
They have to pretend that the originally non-royal partner has a say whereas in practice it'll be some combination of Wills/ Chuck/ Phil the Greek/ Albrecht
