I’ve got it! I have an idea! And if I may say so it’s quite inspired! I think the Buckingham Palace Royals would love it because in one elegant stroke it sorts out the Harry/Meghan mess by getting them out of the way at the bottom of the world and giving them a job to do and at the same time secures the monarchy in Australia forever thereby completely taking the wind out of the republicans’ sails: Her Maj issues Letters Patent or whatever royal instrument she uses in these circumstances creating an Australian monarchy with Harry and Meghan as inaugural monarchs. The condition is that their address is and remains Government House Yarralumla ACT. It’s nicer than you think! H & M should like it because M gets to be Queen of somewhere and that’s been beyond her wildest fantasies and H gets to be King of somewhere long before his bro ever gets to be called His Maj. The Women’s Weekly, Women’s Day and No New Idea would fall over themselves in royal arse licking. The LNP would like it because it consigns republicanism to the dustbin of irrelevance and the ALP would be quietly relieved because that gets them off the hook. Gotta go. My turn to cook dinner.

NZ might work! But if as you say “Australia is already full of deadweights, liars, thieves and undesirables” then that makes H & M the perfect choice!

I'll bring back the stocks, put them in them, then the public can fire rotten lettuce at their pointy heads. Next, I'll built a mud brick tower where they'll live. I'll charge admission for gawkers to view, said pointy heads and use the proceeds for bounties on catching drug smugglers. Queen caskur's million dollar reward for dobbing in a drug smuggling syndicate. (dead or alive).

That’s more like the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass” , or Bloody Mary - who was a Catholic and wanted to undo her dad’s work in breaking from Rome even if it meant drowning England in a religious bloodbath. It proved to be the death of her. She got 5 years in the royal gig and the stress killed her.
If you want a continental equivalent you’d have to look to Catherine de Medici who, in spite of her Italian name was Queen of France and ruled in her own right. She slaughtered Protestants (Huguenots) by the tens of thousands and had quite a few of them chucked out of the top tower of one of her castles which was perched on the top of a cliff. They had a long way to fall.
Your models?

Well well! Virginia Giuffre, nee Roberts, filed a lawsuit in New York on Monday. In the lawsuit, Giuffre, now 38, accused the British royal of sexually abusing her at Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan and at other locations in 2001, when she was under the age of 18. She is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Mummy's not gonna like this! Andrew is her favourite child. Randy Andy, Air Miles Andy, and now the Duke of Hazard has stonewalled lawyers and refused to co-operate with police. But lawyers for Giuffre, have said "it would be ill-advised for the Duke of York to thumb his nose at a Federal Court."

Meanwhile .... over in LA, the Sussexes are trying to live down the horrible snub by Barack Obama not inviting them to his 60th Birthday Bash! Lol. What a backhander to their A-list aspirations! And how embarrassing ... being a duke and duchess - which Meghan apparently thinks should trump everyone on the social scale!
But Dickie Arbiter, the former press spokesman for the Queen, says that Harry and Meghan are simply not in the same league as the Obamas. He says they were never on the invite list. Lol.

It is high time to get rid of the royal family. They are very expensive celebrities to maintain.
Time for the royals to stop sucking the tits of Mother England, she is now dry!

Matt!! The royal family is the biggest tourist drawcard in the world. They bring in billions for British tourism. Don't underestimate them. However I agree with Prince Charles that the number of working royals should be kept to a smaller scale. For instance no one wants Randy Andy. He's boorish and rude and as dumb as dog shit. People are glad to see the back of him. Yet he's the Queen's favourite and he's been thoroughly spoiled so no wonder he carries on in the entitled manner that he does. But he just provides that other side of royalty the gossip mags love. And we love to read! Especially when they're copping their just desserts! And let's hope Virginia takes him to the cleaners. He's already whinging because Charles insisted he was dropped from his royal patronages. And Charles is already squeezing the two ugly sisters out of their royal sinecures. So that's a win win solution over the Yorks. And let's not even mention Fergie!!

Expect a massive downsizing of the whole royal Firm once Her Maj shuffles off this mortal coil and goes to her Eternal Reward.
But first they’ll give the QE2 a Right Royal Send Off. It’ll be an event. We’ll then see how the coronation pans out. Charles won’t be calling the shots since a Coronation is a State Occasion and the taxpayer will be bankrolling the whole show. This will be about installing the British Head of State so it won’t be Charles but the Bill of Rights of 1689 and the Act of Settlement of 1700 that will be calling the shots. Taken together those two laws constitute the closest that the British come to having a written constitution. Will Charles’ coronation be a trimmed down affair? Unfortunately we have to wait for the QE2 to die before we get to see what happens. It’s a bit unseemly to be seen to be planning a coronation when the QE2 is still alive. But if the British establishment is considering a royal downsizing an obvious place for them to look would be Her Majesty’s “Realms Beyond the Seas” which means us. They could say to us “look old boy/girl it’s been absolutely spiffing but we’d really like to have our monarchy to ourselves and not share it with 16 other countries. Could you make your own arrangements in that regard? Thanks awfully old chap! Pip pip, tally ho and lashings of lemonade and cucumber sandwiches for everyone, what?”

She doesn't look like a victim to me.

They are the custodians of British art and architecture basically British heritage and that costs quite a bit to upkeep. the British Royals aren't going anywhere.

This was an enlightening comment on twitter...
She was a paid escort FOR YEARS, she was of age and she used to fly back to AU to show off her designer digs to her friends. She thinks this will force money out of Andrew, it won't, he'll never settle and the US has zero Jurisdiction over the UK. Face with rolling eyes

They don't really cost Australia anything, thank God. Even if you consider paying the Governor General their salary as payment, it isn't as they would get that salary if they were our ceremonial president.
When they step foot in Australia, I guess we sort of pay, but we do that for any other foreign dignitary.
But the cost to the UK taxpayer is disgusting. What purpose do they serve? To be on the front page of The Sun or the Daily Mirror? Even our magazines are filled to the brim with trash from that family.

The LNP would like it because it consigns republicanism to the dustbin of irrelevance and the ALP would be quietly relieved because that gets them off the hook. Gotta go. My turn to cook dinner. Now that's a really crackpot idea if ever I heard one! Why ever would we want that demanding diva down here? Surely she caused enough distaste amongst vice regal circles last time she was here without having her ensconced in Yarralumla fulltime! Not that she for one minute would agree to living in that little Canberra backwater. How is she to make her mega millions away from her A-lister supporters and enablers? Just think to the last - and only time thank goodness - that she dis-graced our shores. When she and Harry arrived at Admiralty House, she was aghast to hear that they would only be occupying one wing. Countless royals over the years have stayed at Admiralty House and have been perfectly happy with the accommodation. The Queen and Prince Philip stayed there, Prince Charles and Diana and baby William stayed there just as William and Kate and Baby George later stayed there on their tour. If they weren't happy they certainly would not have been so rude and ungracious as to complain. But that's exactly what the diva duchess did. She actually expected and demanded the whole house! Even whilst the Governor-General and Lady Cosgrove were in residence as their hosts. There were quite a few nasty little incidents while they were there. The thrown tea cup (with tea) for instance. Meghan would probably say it was tipped over but others have differing recollections. It is reported that Lady Cosgrove had to speak to Meghan about her treatment of staff. Does this sound familiar? That didn't go down well at all and there was a blow up on Meghan's part where she allegedly said "who the f*** do you think you're speaking to!" Apparently Harry spent the whole two days there apologising on her behalf. The staff member who had the cup of tea thrown at them was paid by the Royal Family to keep quiet about the incident. $240k! But that staff member has now been asked to give evidence in the Court Enquiry into staff bullying claims. Apparently Lady Colin Campbell is also writing about this incident because it has all been hushed up apparently. Although Harry did a lot of apologising over those incidents, he has now gone completely over to the other side. He has now become a whinger himself and backs Meghan up on everything. Harry has gone from the most loved member of the royal family to the most loathed. All it took was Meghan. Meghan keeping her distance from the hoi polloi at Admiralty House ...

All I see is a willing girl smiling and allowing a man (in this case Prince Andrew) to put an arm around her and having their picture taken. She is 17, or so they say. She doesn't look like a victim to me. But she was underage. And that is against the law no matter how influential her abusers were. She is now looking back on that time as an adult and realising that she had been in a vulnerable position and exploited because of her youth and inexperience. Grace Tame who (surprisingly) won the Australian of the Year accolade which should have gone to Shane Fitzsimmons - was in the same position. Groomed by an older man of greater influence and authority than her. It's when these females get to adulthood that they look back and realise how they were manipulated. Abusers attempt to gain trust of a potential victim through gifts, attention, sharing secrets and other means to make them feel that that they have a caring relationship with those who are in control and who train them to keep the relationship secret. They also desensitise them to sexual behaviours. In Virginia's case it also involved being photographed in vulnerable situations without her consent or knowledge. She was given an extravagant lifestyle way beyond anything an ordinary young girl could imagine. But it came with a cost. Entertaining these creepy old paedophiles. They realise this later down the track - that they were vulnerable and these paedos exploited that.

I guess "crackpot" would describe an idea that doesn't stand a snowflake's chance in hell of ever getting taken seriously, let alone being adopted. To that extent yes I agree with you about "crackpot". I knew that it was "crackpot" when I posted it. It was kinda the point! But there you go ...

They realise this later down the track - that they were vulnerable and these paedos exploited that. it's not paedophilia when the person is 17... paedophiles target children under 12. And I have always said 17 is probably the right age to make legal age sex (consent)... I think 16 is too young.... I think 18 is unrealistc. I was pregnant at 15 and had my son the day after I turned 16. I can assure you 100% that woman up there is no victim. Andrews richness and fame is the victim here. Andrew didn't "groom" her. If she was 'groomed' it was by someone else. She worked as a prostitute. Now she wants reogniition for sleeping with a royal without any hard evidence. Police are only supposed to work with hard evidence. He didn't rape her. The groomer Epstein is dead so going after his money is pointless. Does she have other mens names in her bag of tricks?
