““burgeoning fashion expert and influencer,” ”
So born with everything handed to him, and that is what he aspires to? Probably time to dissolve the Monarchy and aristocracy if this is the goal of what they’re producing now.
Monkey1
Jealous much? The monarchy brings in 4x more money than they take in, so they are actually profitable. This guy is too far down the the line to get free money. Maybe fix your own garbage country before commenting on something you don’t know anything about.
Monkey1
Chrisk
Who cares? He’s obviously got rich parents because of his mother’s family. Your country started this stupid internet influencer garbage anyway, and now you guys call bullsh*t on someone from a different country? Look at your own influencers who are a million times more toxic than this guy. What’s your point in stating how much he’s worth?
Chrisk
Monkey1
How many 21 yo’s do you know that have a worth of 10 million? He is a royal family member so yes he does get “free money”.
Monkey1
ChrisK
His money comes from his parents. He’s not getting anything from the public purse because he’s too far down the line. Did he have advantage of because of his lineage? Yes, but that’s no different that the hoards of US “Celebrity” kids pushing crap on their Instagram pages. You people have your own royalty but they’re singers and actors… but think you’re better than a country that has a royal presence? Typical American arrogance.
MikeM
He gets no money from the government. He may get money out of the queen’s funds, but that is only if he does something in service to the crown for which she reimburses him, essentially. I doubt he does anything like that. His grandfather, the Earl of Snowdon, died recently and left his fortune to his children.
LumpyPillows
@ChrisK No, he gets nothing from the government. The circle of royals getting government money is actually far smaller than most people think. His money is now more to do with the plutocracy than the monarchy. I’m all for eating the rich, but I do prefer to keep my menu items distinct.

@Monkey1
1. Actually not jealous of someone with no goals in life.
2. That whole “Monarchy brings in money” is a B.S. excuse put out by their P.R. teams. France gets more tourists to Versailles than Britain gets to it’s royal sites and France doesn’t have to give free money to a bunch of parasites.

You don’t know what you’re talking about because you’re absolutely wrong, I don’t think you know about anything outside the US I’ve heard about your education system and it’s failing. I know you have no idea what a Royal is supposed to do for a country, and I’m not here to educate you.

Oh i get it Cam. I have you figured out. You spew off anything and expect us to belive you’re right, but when someone contradicts you, then you demand proof. Ha! I know you now.
Ken A.
Yeah, he’s a royal, great grandson of the queen, 2nd cousin to William and Harry and Andrews kids and being he’s Princess Margaret’s grandson born into money. He is human and as a royal even though way down the line, he’s setting a positive example and being a role model, fitness and fashion, Remember this country was settled by the English or invaded, our first president was English as were a few presidents down the line. His brother Sam is hot too.
Openminded
According to the story, he’s still in school at U of Edinberg studying geography, so I’d imagine he has plans once he gets out of school. Appears to me he is keeping his plate full at the moment doing mostly positive things. Charity rowing around GB in support of ocean ecology sounds quite aspiring to me. Article doesn’t speculate on his sexual preference so I’m guessing he ain’t interested in any queens on this site anyway. Personally, I’m proud for him, it looks like he’s taking a good opportunity and making himself better all the while helping the world be a better place.
TomG
He is nice looking, but a little too muscular for my taste.

@Openminded
No surprise, the right wing troll account would support someone with inherited wealth from the British taxpayer, who hasn’t done anything yet, and use that as an excuse to attack all the LGBTQ people who read this site.
You’re nothing if not consistent.
Brian
What in hell is a “burgeoning expert”? Sounds like a child answering the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
And his intermediate-level “expertise” is in acquiring free swag to photograph for his own social media? So he’s an almost-expert at being given things?
The big sky
The whole idea of a monarchy in this day and age is ridiculous. The aristocracy and titles are idiotic and just money making scams and status symbols for people who are quite often rather dim. Just look at the privileged right wing nut jobs running the UK just now.
anglcan
What’s more ridiculous? A dignified woman who served in WW2 and has spent her entire life serving her people or a failed businessman/reality TV star? I’ll take Her Majesty The Queen any day over Trump or anyone in his immediate family.
barryaksarben
the guy replying to you wins. The queen has served her country with dignity while we just elected TRUMP. Who is the fool here? not the british. They pay the queen and Trump probably stole more than she has made in her 600 years on the throne
Fahd
Wow! Looks terrific! I’m an instant fan. Thanks for bringing him to our attention. As far as I know, his branch of the royal family is squeaky clean compared to her Majesty’s direct descendants. It may be a crush, but more of him, please.

Monkey1
The royal family do not bring in 4x the money they cost. That’s just pure piffle. Its mostly English people over 50 that still support them and its as low as 40% in Scotland. To be impressed by someone because of an accident of birth is ridicules. Most of them are descended from medieval thugs that murdered their own family to keep power.
GentlemanCaller
This. The silly idea that the monarchy is valuable to Great Britain because of all the tourist who flock there is nonsense. If the royal family disappeared tomorrow, tourists would still flock to GB to see the same stuff they flock to see now: the castles, the palaces, the Crown Jewels, the historical locations, etc. Tourists don’t generally see the Queen, and without the royals, tourists would probably get more access to Buckingham Palace, too.
Monkey1
I assume you’re both Americans because nothing you said makes sense. More access to Buckingham Palace? Have you ever gone because you can tour a big chunk. Why do you need to see the whole thing? This isn’t even about if the Royals are good for the Commonwealth or not (yes, they absolutely DO bring in 4x more than it costs to keep them). This is about uneducated Americans talking about other countries with a self-entitled arrogance. Mind your own business, your country is in the toilet and you jabber on about things you know nothing about.
Cam
@Monkey1
Translation: you can’t back up your point, so all you can do is whine and cry about Americans to excuse the fact that the royal family leaches off the British taxpayer and returns nothing.

You back up your point. Like I said above I’m not here to educate you, I could spell it out and you’d still be too ignorant to understand it. Stay in your own lane.
Cam
@Monkey1
Sweetie, it isn’t my job to prove what YOU wrote. My point is very clear. France gets more tourists to Versailles than Britain does at it’s royal palace and France doesn’t have to fund a bunch families living off taxpayers with inherited titles who contribute nothing.
My point is clear, you’re the one who can’t back up your own point.
nm4047
@Monkey1, the palace is limited opening (6 weeks of the summer) money paid is then used to maintain the numerous residences they occupy. Most other european countries that abolished their monachies still trade off the traping of the lifestyles of the former royal houses, eg Russia, France all their top tourist attraction are form residences, such as the Hermitage, Versaille the list goes on.
Monkey1
nm4047 at least visitors to Buckingham palace can pay a fee and go when it’s open, in the US to get a tour of the White House you need to apply through an embassy (if out of the country) or through a member of congress (for US residents) three months in advance, and it’s limited to a few people per tour. Big deal, there’s nonsense everywhere.
Ken A.
Yes, it is true many Americans have opinions how other countries run their shit, but if anyone from those countries expresses their opinion about our politics, they’re told to but out. Remember English people, we are your country’s emancipated bastard child. LOL. I’m descended from English and Scottish ancestry.
barryaksarben
OMG there are thugs in history? wow Are you saying there are none in our past? TRUMP comes to mind as does NIXON And the entire confederacy murdered people of color to keep control over SLAVERY so we are not some shining city on the hill . You are a troll, and a bad one as your comments lack any self awareness
Den
As far as I can see Cam. you are not backing up anything you say either. Why exactly is your certainty any more real than the man whose heritage you are pointlessly denigrating?
I am willing to bet he knows more about his traditions and history than we do.
I am willing to bet your arrogance in this instance is motivated by the same entitled attitude that motivates the right wing.
And your claim that this prince has no substance or achievements simply indicates you didn’t read the article very carefully. He has certainly done more of substance at 21 than any Kardashian, any Hilton, or pretty much any US celebrity royalty kid has.

Here’s a quote from the link you provided Cam. “The Queen has insisted that items given to her sister while officially representing the Royal Family must be sold for charity. As a result, Christie’s declared that 47 lots – ranging from a silver water jug donated by Bolton Borough Council to a cigar box from the King of Cambodia – would be sold to raise money for the Stroke Association.” Also two other items were pulled by the auction house. Where is the scandal? Did you only read the headline?
RyanMBecker
People that complain about the cost of maintaining the monarchy forget that all the money the monarchy brings in far outweighs the money it gets. I’m not just talking about the direct money, i.e. from royal tourism, but also the indirect money earned from the royal industry. For example, all the merchandise — both official and not — sold by street vendors throughout the UK. The royal weddings, journalism and media (including TV shows) devoted the royals, the sales of fashion to emulate the royals, the charitable endorsements, etc. Indeed, some of those endorsements are incalculable, thus priceless. For example, Princess Diana visiting AIDS patients and Prince Harry protecting a gay soldier, and recently celebrating gay pride. Do you really think a Prime Minister doing the same would have the same impact?
The fact is, the monarchy is one of the most distinctive and cherished things about the UK. No other monarchy is recognized as much worldwide. There is absolutely no reason to tamper with it unless anyone can show examples of harm outweighing the good.
LumpyPillows
Handsome and accomplished lad for 21. He gets zero public funds, so he is not really different than any other child of the wealthy and famous.
Cam
Except all of the money he has comes form his mother, who DOES get public funds.
Monkey1
Absolutely wrong Cam. His GRANDMOTHER, the Queen’s sister was an active member of the Royal Family, his mother doesn’t get any public monies. I was always surprised why in America getting a high school diploma is made out to be a big deal, you’re uneducated, and the more you write about a topic you have NO IDEA about the dumber you look.
Cam
@Monkey1
Sweetie, where did her mother get her money? Her GRANDOTHER, who you just admitted was living off public funds (Thank you for admitting that) left her millions in her will that she amassed off the back of the taxpayers. This included millions in jewelry and gifts that were handed to her as a member of the royal family.
Oh and by the way, it’s adorable how you keep trying to insult people who point these things out to you, thinking that will distract us from the fact that your arguments are full of crap.
But nice try.

Hey Heywood Jablowme, thanks for that. I think i might’ve been a bit touchy because of the tone of the snarky comments. No country is perfect but it just felt insulting to be told that HE knows better than ME when it comes to my country/commonwealth.
LumpyPillows
@Cam Stop interjecting on everything and refusing to ever admit you are wrong. My statement that he gets no money from the government is 100% true. The fact that his grandmother got money from the government for performing state duties is irrelevant to this lad. Stop bull ying everyone, everyday.
Cam
@LumpyPillows
So let’s see, it is “bullying” for me to point out that every dollar this kid has came from British taxpayers? Their net worth and all the money he lives off came from the British taxpayers, or gifts given to his grandmother, that were supposed to be donated to charity but instead were auctioned off for cash.
I’m not sure what the issue is. It isn’t as if Princess Margaret’s daughter, Lady Sarah started a business and made the money they live off. She doesn’t work and is merely on the foundation for the Royal Ballet. They got everything from the Queen and taxpayers.
Monkey1
Your bullying Cam, comes from your defiant accusations that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a liar and ignorant. You are absolutely lying about the auction and funds being diverted from a charity. Like you’ve said before, PROOF.
Cam
@Monkey1
Actually Sweetie, I wasn’t the one who called anybody names. But you have called a bunch of names on here . So actually by your own definition. You’re the bully.
As for the comment about the auctioning off. How interesting that somebody supposedly British and SO invested in this couldn’t do a 5 second Google search to see that the Queen stated anything given to Princess Margaret as a gift to her in her capacity as a royal should be donated to charity. Something that her heirs did not do.
So let’s see, you lied about me calling people names, you then called names, and you lied about the topic. Oh, and you responded to a comment directed at somebody else…almost as if you had more than one screename and forgot. Hmmm
LumpyPillows
@cam changing the topic while still not admitting you were wrong. Very sad. I know you will have to get the last word, because you are that guy, so go for it. I’m done with your combative nastiness. Just why do you feel you have to be so nasty? Simple discussion not enough, sweetie? Mommy not hug you enough when you were little? Even on the threads I agree with you, you are still irritating.
Monkey1
Naw Cam look up Queen urges Margaret’s heirs to avoid scandal over royal gifts. She stated that Margaret’s kids are to split the auction into personal property and that which was given when she was performing her royal duties. The kids agreed to do it. No scandal, “sweetie”. The queen only stated it because there was a minor row a few years before when a royal aide sold some of the Charles’s stuff. Know your facts.

Although I’m an American, and a veteran, I’m with the Brits on this one.
The US political system is a FAILURE. The last four years proved it. We ended up with a dangerous monarch anyway and we just barely managed to get rid of him… maybe. (The Brits at least managed to chop off the head of King Charles I.)
Our supposedly wonderful US Constitution is all f*cked up. The executive is far too powerful, and as we’ve seen, when it falls into evil hands it is truly dangerous. When the legislative branch gets divided in the wrong way they can’t do much of anything about anything. The judiciary is now full of fetus-obsessed religious wackos who worship rich people.
Almost all civilized countries have a parliamentary system, and a multiparty system, and a purely ceremonial monarch or president. But WE had to go and reinvent the wheel. In case you haven’t noticed, our “wheel” is so clunky it’s hardly even functioning as a wheel. But hey “we’re the greatest country in the world” and all that bullsh*t (say dumb Americans who’ve never traveled anywhere).
barryaksarben
I agree. The fact that so many of our people are so uneducated that they are easily taken in by obvious lies is pathetic and dangerous for the world not just us
rray63
Divided in the wrong way. Think about that statement. It implies there is only one right way. That no one else’s opinion matters except ours. Therein lies the problem. No, before you all jump I’m not a troll, just someone that actually reads and understands.
DarkZephyr
@rray63, come now. That’s not what he’s saying. Think “Mitch McConnell” and you might get it. He isn’t saying there is only one “right way” but he IS saying that if things get stacked a certain way with people of a certain mentalitiy then its a sh** show and he is ABSOLUTELY correct about that.
jorgecruz
I am married to a Brit and have been there tons of times. The political system is probably superior to the US for 2 reasons- they change leaders more easily when the leaders fail. . They also do a better job of respecting the rights of minorities. Now the health care that is supposed to be so great is severly underfunded and greatly undervalues their medical personnel. It also takes forever to see a specialist. The whole concept of a monarchy is offensive to me in any form.
DarkZephyr
Then I guess you better not move to any country with a monarchy, eh? Problem solved.

We have a lot to do to clean up the wreckage of the last 4 years in our own back yard before we start poo-pooing other countries’ cultures for something as simple as a young rich kid wanting to be an influencer. Its clearly offending the British readers of this site too, yet I see a lot of doubling down and plunging on ahead. I don’t get it at all.
