    The British Royal Family

    I would have to do some more investigating before I could agree on the crown for hunting bit - I'm more inclined to believe it is a Government thing. They are usually behind anything to do with money :p Did you know that the Royal Household now pay tax just like the rest of us? Hmmm they...

    The British Royal Family

    The British people were very taken with Diana - she was modern, forward, refreshingly different. Her openess gave us all a very rare insight into the Clique of the Royal Family. The slow growing animosity toward the Monachy, I believe started or grew from the time of her divorce from...

    The British Royal Family

    LOL so many questions .... I will do my best to answer all of them. Yes they were/are goofy (to use your word LOL) As I said before they can advise all they want but that is it. Prince Philip & Prince Charles have both "had talkings to' about trying to involve themselves in the politics...
