10 more relevant facts the average commoner can relate to :
1) he has big ears
2) he’s a perfect example of why incest is illegal
3) his mommy not giving up the throne is the lesser of 2 evils
4) he should be in jail if the murder investigation was not tampered with
5) he certainly traded down not up after Diana
6) gotta wonder – are the kids actually his ?
7) there’s just not much else worth knowing about him.
Why is Canada wasting canadian tax payer’s money on these idiots? Leave them in England where they belong, we can get alone just fine without them.
Use the money to help our own people.
j was right on with his comments
Dear J:
1. His ears are big. Okay. Did he choose them? Did you choose your face?
2. His parents are not in an incestuous relationship. Their family relationship goes back centuries. You are aware however the CANADA allows first cousins to marry? Maybe you’re the proof.
3. His mother will die, Charles will become King. Deal with it.
4. This sentence makes no grammatical sense. Huh? What’s your point? The Diana car crash caused by a drunk driver (Diana’s) and not wearing seatbelts?
5. He didn’t trade Diana in. They divorced. She died. He remarried. Grow up.
6. Yes, they are.
7. Yes there is. Pick up a book and have someone read it to you.
Dear J:
The fact that you promised 10 facts, but only provided 7, confirms how you lack in credibility! However, who’s counting just like your opinions don’t count.
The electrons required to maintain this waste of a blog would be better served zapping your fingers as you touch a doorknob after walking on carpet.
