shane39 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The Royals need to get into the 21st Century! In this day and age it shouldn't matter whether someone's black, white or an Elephant, if you love them enough to want to get hitched, that's all that should matter. Elephant??? Now that would be interesting in the bedroom. 8 foot step ladder just to get her knickers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
