Agreed. I think Pippa has the better deal between her life and Catherine’s. Much better for the children as well.

I'd much rather make my own money or marry a millionaire
Perhaps. I think Pippa landed where she is because of Catherine. She may not have landed such a wealthy lifestyle without the royal connection.Agreed. I think Pippa has the better deal between her life and Catherine’s. Much better for the children as well.
I think it was well known in their uni circles that Pippa was a lit of a social climber bur she got what she wanted in the end.Sorry, but I don’t think Pippa ‘landed’ where she is because of Catherine. She had dated James before they rekindled their relationship.
I am also aware that a previous boyfriend was fully investigated by Buckingham Palace and given clearance by his work (ie no wrong doings) in order to date Pippa.
If she’s aloof it’s probably because they are constantly on guard of being hounded by the press
Just my opinion
Pippa got into the aristocratic set which led to her meeting her husband by attending Marlborough. I went to Edinburgh University too. There is a large "yah" contingent who tend to socialise amongst themselves. Coming from a public school got her into that set. Her sister in law is Vogue Williams hardly a Royal.Perhaps. I think Pippa landed where she is because of Catherine. She may not have landed such a wealthy lifestyle without the royal connection.
In the run up to Pippas wedding she approached anyone not local in Bucklebury to ask them if they were journalists. She sounds incredibly up herself.
I think it's so funny that Kerry Katona has a (distant) link to Will and KateI think it was well known in their uni circles that Pippa was a lit of a social climber bur she got what she wanted in the end.
Although Vogue Williams is her sister in law...

I would like to think that the BRF have prepared for scenarios such as thisWhat happens if George is gay? Can he have a husband under COE? What then happens to line of succession? Is surrogacy allowed?
No to both questions. After him then Charlotte and her potential kids.What happens if George is gay? Can he have a husband under COE? What then happens to line of succession? Is surrogacy allowed?
Isn’t it something to do with the laws of inheritance … a surrogate child in that instance would have to be formally adopted and an adopted child cannot inherit a title?They would also have to change the rules around illegitimate children. If George were gay but had a child with a surrogate that was biologically his, that child would be classed as illegitimate as he wouldn’t be married to the mother? I think?
Don’t ask me why but I’ve always had a feeling George would end up abdicating to Charlotte and we would end up with another long reigning queen. It’s something I’ve “felt” for years but I’ve no idea whyIf it ends up happening I’ll start playing the lottery
It's all so confusing. It's like a woman not being able to hold or inherit a title in her own right. The problem of course is that these issues are actually much wider than just the royal family, am I right in thinking that should Charles want to change that, it would impact every title-holding family in the country? I presume there would be a way for him to grant a title to a female in her own right without changing the law, but then that would open up a can of worms - there are plenty of title-holding families in the UK whose oldest child is a daughter but the title will go to the younger brother who would and wouldn't want the rule to changeIsn’t it something to do with the laws of inheritance … a surrogate child in that instance would have to be formally adopted and an adopted child cannot inherit a title?
There are a number of titles that can go through the female line … a lot of the Scottish ones do and definitely the Mountbatten one was remaindered to the female line and held by Lord Louis daughter, Patricia Knatchbull … it just depends how they were initially set up.It's all so confusing.

There's a reason most defunct monarchies were abolished... swiftly, shall we say.I do find it all so interesting and stuff like this makes you realise the concept of abolishing the monarchy isn't as simple as just waking up one day with a president instead of a King. It would, in my opinion, take a generation to sort it out. A headache I think very few could be bothered to deal with
And why I don’t think it will happen here. I think increasingly people are indifferent to the RF but the chaos that would come from getting rid of them means there is no incentive to do so.There's a reason most defunct monarchies were abolished... swiftly, shall we say.
