I've literally never heard any human being praise or admire royalty, aside from Diana.

Americans: Our system is the best because we don't have royalty, we have a President instead!

American President: Plating his palace with gold and being completely above the law.

honorable mention: princess märtha louise of norway is a clairvoyant married to an american conspiracy theorist and serial rapist.

Well, his Wikipedia article is horrifying

He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women's vaginas and offers exercises to "clean out" said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it;

I hope her first husband kept their daughters away from him

There's a whole lot of words there that I do not like together

Reading about this family just reminds me of this:

Thought the gun was a squirt gun connected to the (wine? champagne? w/e) bottle, now that would've been classy

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nobody's saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 hours ago

idiot americans worship money and think being royalty means being loaded

It looks like he wanted a big chest piece but chickened out after the lining and never went back to get it finished.

the son of the crown princess of norway. she had him before she was married to the crown prince so he's not an official part of the royal family, but he's a major pain in their ass anyway.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Son of the Norwegian crown prince. You'll be unsuprised to learn that he stands accused of many sexual assaults.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 7 hours ago

crown princess*. he's the "bonus prince" because she had him before she married the prince.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

He is not royal. His mother married a royal

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

is that really a "mom" tattoo? i guess might as well if you're going the sick ass panther route

also is that an airsoft gun? and is he drinking champagne in a coffee cup?

[–] vala@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Literally every tattoo he has is generic as hell lmao.

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Terrible Trigger Discipline but that looks like it's a BB gun...

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Pretty sure my .22s have a larger bore, and I have a shitload.

Funny story:

Black dude runs up in the local redneck bar and starts waving a BB pistol around. "You're money and your jewelry!", kinda talk. People were like, whatever dude, that's a BB gun. "I'm fucking serious!" One the guys playing pool walked up behind him and clocked him over the skull with the blunt end of a pool stick. Fin.

Helen Keller would produce better quality tats but at least he leans into his trash identity enough to identify from a distance

I hear he has lots of sex.

Being a royal of any kind is a crime against humanity. The French and the Bolsheviks knew the right way to treat monarchs. Every last one of them deserves to have their head rolled into a basket.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Chill... Royals aren't what they used to be. They are more like well paid circus clowns than power tripping maniacs now.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

No. I just really don't care

Constitutional monarchs are even worse. They're slimy, mincing predators, scavengers sitting on the sidelines.

Modern royals remember the power their ancestors have, and they yearn for that power back. They play pretend that they're happy being ceremonial monarchs. But really, they're just biding their time. Monarchies are used to thinking in centuries. So they sit there, waiting on the sidelines, waiting for some crisis of democracy, something that causes people to lose faith in the system. Then they'll step in and reclaim real power. They're a bunch of mincing pedophiles just waiting for someone to lose sight of their kid.
