First, Pippa Middleton is not royalty and her friends aren't either, as far as we know. The guy with the handgun is an idiot and they should all be charged under French law. I'm not a big supporter of monarchies, but I do prefer today's Spain to the one of Franco. So, sometimes a monarchy is not such a bad choice. And yes, it is the people's choice in all the constitutional monarchies. The European countries with monarchies are among the most stable politically and socially.

I have never heard of the kid before now.

The guy with the handgun is an idiot and they should all be charged under French law.

You, me, and the poster agree on that point. I do think idiot is too kind.

I'm not a big supporter of monarchies, but I do prefer today's Spain to the one of Franco. So, sometimes a monarchy is not such a bad choice.

True, if that is your only choice.

And yes, it is the people's choice in all the constitutional monarchies. The European countries with monarchies are among the most stable politically and socially.

I'm not against constitutional monarchies, just assholes who wave pistols around regardless of their social class. That said, I do think Brit republicans do have some valid points.
