How would someone like Mike fund their life and family? In his case he was an ex rugby player so appearing on reality shows and doing podcasts wouldn’t be out of the realm of what they would do after retirement anyway. You can’t expect his wife’s uncle to tell him what to do and he listens, unless you stop inviting him to family events but that seems unfair.I would like KC to stop these minor royals like Mike appearing on tv shows, doing AD's etc as I think it cheapens the brand. I want the royals to come out and do their job and disappear again. I do not want them on chat shows, airing their dirty laundry like Harry!
I think the problem with the lesser Royals is that although they have the name, the Crown doesnt support them e.g. Anne's kids so I don't think interviews etc. will ever stop once you have that problem.I would like KC to stop these minor royals like Mike appearing on tv shows, doing AD's etc as I think it cheapens the brand.

Mike Tindall doing the ads/being an ambassador for online betting was a step too far for me.I would like KC to stop these minor royals like Mike appearing on tv shows, doing AD's etc as I think it cheapens the brand.

Now if its a podcast talking about Rugby fair enough but I'm a celeb and adverts are a step too far IMO.How would someone like Mike fund their life and family?

I don’t think I was arguing that London/the South (no matter how ‘tiny’ the area) shouldn’t have the ceremonial bits, obvs the palaces and cathedrals are there. My query is about provinces getting a fair crack of the financial whip, culturally, to make it fair. It costs me at least £120 to get to London by train to see decent exhibitions, theatre, opera. Fireworks and concerts that the capital gets for free don’t happen much outside London because most of our local authorities are on their uppers, even though it’s a truth not often acknowledged that per person we pay a lot more Council Tax than southern councils. I lived in London for 20 years, so I do know the difference!To be fair...I dont think you can say that it was the south/london that got the ceremony!
Things like the Funeral and the Platty joobs stuff, are/ were all centralised over a tiny area of London. Then televised to the rest of the country. So it wasnt really royal largesse, when most people in the south or south east, also ended up seeing everything on TV.
Yes maybe it would have been slightly easier for those from the south to get to the tiny part of london where the ceremonies took place, but looking at the televised coverage, there seemed to be loads of people interviewed in the crowd, who had travelled in from all areas of the UK.
She looks so much like her Dad it’s creepy
I see Lord Porchester in her faceShe looks so much like her Dad it’s creepy
Lovely news. I expect to hear similar news about Beatrice this year too.
Love the picture she usedLovely news. I expect to hear similar news about Beatrice this year too.
It’s called genetics, hardly fair on Eugenie to say it’s creepy.She looks so much like her Dad it’s creepy
She is very like him, Beatrice has that pop eyed look like Sarah.It’s called genetics, hardly fair on Eugenie to say it’s creepy.
She's not THAT bad!!Beatrice looks like Queen Victoria
It is an issue I agree, but... I still think that areas even just a couple of hours from london, also suffer to some extent from a lack of money/investment in culture and Arts etc. And a lot of events like Free fireworks are often more for tourists than for local people!I don’t think I was arguing that London/the South (no matter how ‘tiny’ the area) shouldn’t have the ceremonial bits, obvs the palaces and cathedrals are there.
