The Royal Family #35

[WatermelonSugar22]

Take a day off. He was joking and his visit went down very well.

Take a day off from light comments about the royals? Uh, this isn’t a rave thread. He’s set a low bar for humour and continues to meet it, well done him. I think his joke was nasty and this is exactly the thread to mention it in. I’m sure if Harry had said it there’d be twenty pages of furious rage.

The rest of my day isn’t a day off, it involves cyclone cleanup. Wonder if I’ll be seeing Anne pitch in, since she’s here.

I dunno, someone going to the effort of making you cupcakes and you saying they weren’t very good is a pretty poor joke. But I guess William doesn’t realise that there’s more to humour than punching down.

He's an ass just like his brother imo - he's got a history of rudeness and nastiness to people pawned off as humor. I would be hurt!

Yes he is just like Harry a spoilt hole

 

[Bride of Lupine]

Doesn’t he look like his father in this still from the article? I’ve never seen the likeness before but here it’s uncanny.

 

[House of Tea]

This is brutal.

I'm going to watch it in a minute. Have to do some actual work first.

When he was younger he looked like his Mum and even seemed to have some of her mannerisms. He has gradually morphed into a Windsor through and through

I didn't watch south park for years, but Matt and trey really are excellent. No wonder they're known as some of the best satirists of our time. The level of research and detail they go to is something else.

 

[Lammington]

Oof. I feel like they'll be best to at least pretend to see the funny side. While crude, South Park's satire is commonly pretty on point, and responding negatively rarely impacts badly on the show.

 

[Eirawen]

Well they are constantly banging on about privacy and being allowed to lead the lives they want and then they are desperate to be seen/heard

Definitely. But they aren’t surrounded by the wisest of people to say the least. They’ll probably want to sue

By god, that book was a mistake.

It was indeed.

Quite, but I wouldn't hold out much hope of doing the sensible thing based on everything they've done up until now.

Seeing as South Park got away with calling Tom Cruise a fudge-packer, portrayed Kanye as a gay fish, showed Angelina Jolie's lice-infested crotch, and snuck a nuke up Hillary Clinton's snizz, I'd say M&H have got off lightly. Most US celebs have had the South Park treatment.

For a show of its nature, its had surprisingly few lawsuits. If M&H even attempt it, they'll look even more desperate than the show makes them look.

It's saltire so it's got laws protecting that and the first amendment. Also in the US for libel it's reversed so Meghan would have to prove she wasn't an "Instagram loving witch wife" for example.

If they were smart they'd laugh it off and say something about it being very imaginative. If they're dumb they'd complain about the media targeting them.

Well they definitely shouldn't put out a statement or get one of their mouthpieces to say something, but they will be asked about it somerime and then they should laugh it off.

The should just say that ‘they know they’ve arrived now’.

They only sue British media!!!
America has been brutal towards them since the book came out. They really messed up.

Lots of Americans have a soft spot or at least are fascinated by the BRF. Going after them in a book which appeared to target an American audience was dense beyond belief.
