3. Another royal waste of tax dollars.

How many friggin' royal visits do we need? Don't these people have a home?

4. There is no such thing as 'royal' blood

...just inbreds born to more privilege than others.

Remember, 'royalty' can only marry into other 'royalty' or 'nobility'.

...small gene pool there. jump in & you'll crack your skull...

5. Why are they each wearing TWO poppies?

I understand that the poppy thing is a "support the troops" symbol in the Commonwealth, but usually people only wear one.

7. Actually..

It's in remembrance of the war dead. My guess is that the one with the black centre is Canadian and the one with the green centre may be British.

8. Yeah, the war dead...damn, I'd forgotten that.

I've also heard that people who oppose wars in Commonwealth countries wear white poppies.
