I agree. I also feel that although they (the Royal Family) did not choose to be born royals,they have milked the system and are therefore in some small way public property.They cannot expect to live in a life of luxury where they clamour for appreciation and continuation of their line and then tell the same press to back off when they want to indulge in grouse shooting or the like.
I admire the Queen,I think Phillip is an ass ,rude and ignorant and Charles ,for all his good intentions lives in cloud cuckoo land and harbours a terrible temper with "dolls out of the pram" attitude if he doesn't get his own way. Anne is a diamond it's just a pity she married that shit Mark Phillips when really she is in love with the splendid actor ,from Brideshead Revisited ,Anthony Andrews.
