WeX Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know if its just me, but it pees me off when Royals get awards. If I had as many servants as they had, to get me up in the morning, bring me my breakfast, dress me, drive me to some charitable event, then drive me home in time for an afternoon nap and a little bit of animal cruelty before off to bed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17814012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How many charitable companies have you spent time setting up? What expeditions to promote the cause have you undertaken recently? Typical keyboard warrior. All mouth no action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical keyboard warrior. All mouth no action. Ecconoob, how many charities have the current crop of royals actually setup? I don't mean their staff have done it for them, but actually set up the charity? On the expeditions, subject, what expeditions have the royals been on that wasn't in 1st class luxury you or I couldn't access even if we had the money? traveling to an opening in the most luxurious form of transport going, having everyone wait on you hand and foot. not having to organise a single thing and given everything on a plate, is no hardship!

taxman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Who cares? It's not as if the award is from the UN or the Nobel Prize committee, just some strange US based organisation which "promotes transatlantic co-operation and international security" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Graham Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Maybe real people who work hard to setup charities should get awarded rather than born to privilege royals who actually have nothing better to do. Maybe, just maybe, a Royal fronting a charity means the good cause will attract more donations from richer and better connected international patrons. The bottom line for charities is not how but how much and if Harry touches the rich and famous for a bit more then it's all good. Except, of course, for the envious and small minded anti royal Socialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
