The Tuesday Michael Ramirez cartoon on the British royals could not have been more accurate. These two individuals are an example of overdone privilege and yet want privacy from the public.

I, for one, am very tired of the constant exposures they and their families receive here in the United States. If it wasn’t for the British people accepting the idea of royalty, no one would care about their daily lives and the fact that there are other countries with royalty, but you very seldom hear about them.

The whole idea of individuals just being born into a lifetime of being financed for an extravagant lifestyle is ridiculous, and I am quite sure the majority of British citizens would prefer this program become extinct.
