Everything to do with the royal family is awful. Every member of it, the fawning press, people who care about it, people who marry into it, people who profit off it by association - fire all of them into the sun and level Buckingham Palace, imo.

Not to let them off the hook in anyway, but I assume the majority of this stuff happens on autopilot from the top -i.e. the various functionary ramoras that effect all the Palace business are empowered to carry out these kind of vicious PR assaults by themselves, or maybe with a vague nod from the Big 'Er Indoors.

Maybe that's the real propaganda I've absorbed though, where anything good is Liz being Wise, and anything bad is some weaselly flunky doing stuff in the background.

Either way, wish them all a happy :thermidor:

None if these people have coherent positions anyway, so I think you'd have to take a temperature reading on a daily basis if you actually cared to know.
