@ga_richardson That doesn’t answer my question. The realms don’t represent one society, one narrative identity. Even with the ones with most in common with the UK that isn’t true and many are very different. What happens if there are conflicting interests? Or are you saying that can’t happen.

The 15 Realms form one society, and one emerging narrative identity. Just as different parts of England may vie for an office headquarters or manufacturing plant, but they have a shared loyalty to their common society. A challenge for the Realms is whether we embrace a common narrative identity. Realms have broken away in the past, most recently Barbados in 2021. That is why the term #CANZUKsociety is often used as some of the other 11 Realms have been contemplating ceasing to be Realms as well. Of course it would be great if they remain, but that is entirely up to them.

@Telegraph The relationship where Trump disparages the deaths of British service personnel? The relationship where he cancels trade agreements on a whim? The relationship where he threatens our allies? Sounds like an abusive relationship.

@BBCNews The king is an unelected head of state. He’s completely unaccountable to the people of the country. He’s exempt from many laws. Tell me how he can defend democratic values?

@bazz83 @ShakeLS What's the lie here? That he dropped out of the Royal Marines during training? That he holds 13 military targets? Or these things are easy to check?

In order to understand what a joke the Windsor family is, Prince Edward dropped out of the Royal marines after hardly 3 months not even completing the 1/3 of training. The Royal marines even lost money because they sponsored his education at Cambridge, paying for his tuition, expecting him to join the marines. Do you know how many Military ranks Prince Edward holds?? Over 13. Someone who never completed a military training and the army lost money from. And these people have no shame to wear uniforms.

When Marilyn Monroe met Queen Elizabeth II at the royal premiere of the film The Battle of the River Plate on October 29, 1956 in London. Fascinating fact: They were the same age.

@NileGardiner He’s everything a prince can be: Lazy, greedy, self entitled, anachronistic, irrelevant.

@M_Steeples Parasite. And I’d use the same word for his brother, sister-in-law, wife, father, aunt, uncles and every other member of that family.

@akhnifas_ameytr @neglbaren If hehe could bring attention to environmental matters by running the duchy to a higher environmental standard than is required by law. Instead the duchy is exempted from these laws.

@heavygreenink @neglbaren "Public figures use their platform to bring attention to important causes. Documenting these moments isn't just about 'PR'; it’s about inspiring others and highlighting the hard work being done on the ground. The impact of his advocacy speaks louder than a camera crew."

Far from London's spotlight and royal bustle, Prince William, Prince of Wales, quietly embodies responsibility and groundedness in Herefordshire's countryside. He is no mere prince touring his realm — but a man who knows a crown's true measure lies in service to the earth.🌱

@akhnifas_ameytr He has few official duties, frequently ducking out of the ones he doesn’t fancy.

@heavygreenink "It is only natural that his schedule doesn't permit spending an entire day on a single task, given his extensive official duties and commitments. What truly matters is the moral support and global visibility he provides to these vital initiatives."

@akhnifas_ameytr The royal family have exemptions from environmental regulations, so forgive me if I doubt their “commitment commitments” extend beyond PR events.

@heavygreenink Whether it’s filmed or not, the commitment to environmental conservation is evident in the results. We should focus on the positive influence these actions have on global sustainability efforts rather than overanalyzing the media coverage."

@neglbaren @akhnifas_ameytr Without him being on the farm, cutting branches etc, or getting involved in any of the physical work, yes. That’s also not what the Duchy is. It’s a portfolio of properties, many of which are tenanted. Many aren’t even rural.

I leave you with this image. And now one of the widow. The Queen at Prince Philip's funeral, 2021. It was shocking to see this photo. Covid Times added a gruesome, almost cruel quality to the image due to her isolation from others, sitting quite alone, covered in a mask.

@soliteire @King0243_PJC Take the number given for the sovereign grant in the first link and divide it by the number of tax payers in the second link. That gives you the cost per tax payer for the sovereign grant, which is about double the total figure you quoted. On its own, that proves my point.

Living in a massive castle with a literal army of servants must be bloody exhausting, eh? Imagine the sheer agony of being chauffeured in brand new SUVs and having the world’s best doctors on call while costing the taxpayer £510million a year. Poor Kate, raking in £23,000,000 from the Duchy just to moan about her "hard" life. Give it a rest, you absolute grifter. #RoyalScrounger #Privilege #GetAProperJob #TaxPayerBlackHole
