Some royals have lost touch with reality, and preach to us. With the Stoat and his father, the entitlement is generational. Charles is a conservationist, and took it further into the climate change agenda. He styled himself "Defender of Nature" but there's a huge gap between what he preaches and what he practises.
700,000 cost of private jet 10-day Environmental Tour of South America.
80,000 two months later, tour of Italy and Germany.
90,000 Green Tour on Royal Train. Then another Royal Train tour.
694,000 Rainforest Protection Tour to Far East, Brunei.
Just before William and Catherine's wedding Chuck flew to Washington to meet Obama. The Foreign Office refused to charter a private jet as his travel costs had already exceeded 2 million.and asked him to fly scheduled BA. Chuck was furious, rang Washington and asked them to arrange for someone to lend him a private jet. Washington obliged, a Gulfstream was sent from the US to the UK to collect Chuck from the UK, take him to Washington, then back to the UK.
This has filtered down to the next generation, and Harald uses private jets all the time. Those who lend the royals private jets are getting leverage and prestige, and think it turns them into the elite. The royals don't care, and will use a trafficker's plane. Citizenship and honours are available, and a seat at a Royal dinner.
HM and PP were different, much more frugal, and PP was very worried about image. The internet and SM has meant people can find out, unlike before.
The Stoats have been mixing with dodgy characters, and it's hard to believe they've had no links to P.Diddy over the last few years. BookWorm hears that it may be cleaned up and swept under the rug, and that contingency plans are being made in the UK in case the visa problem blows up.
