Some residents were annoyed but accepted the royals’ security was of utmost importance.
The article is full of quotes like this too lol. “Well this sucks but anything for the monarchy” type shit
the monarchy they pay for. they cant use the park they pay for because the monarch they pay for used their money to “buy” a house too close to their park they pay for
The British taxpayers fund the monarchy’s growing property empire. They also have their fingers in lots of other industries. And yet they unquestionably love them, very peasant brained stuff.
It really is, although I feel like the tide is starting to slowly turn here, especially since Elizabeth II popped her golden clogs.
Us republicans have always been a sizable but definite minority, but basically no one likes Charles, people seem sick of the drama of the various royal children & wives, and Andrew is a constant, flashing fuck you in the face of even royalist sympathisers with the absurdity, openess, and obviousness his heinous crimes and deep stupidity while remaining untouchable.
Even the fact that headlines like this one run in the tabloids semi-frequently is a noticeable change from 10-15 years ago, never mind how it was back in the 80s/90s.

Anglos are a culture of reveling in pedigree. Even something as basic as getting a job these days all depends on your connections, and people look at you weird when you argue against discriminating against “undesirables”.
Peasant mindset
At least peasants would sometimes riot if their commons was ripped away from them without due compensation.
Wow that “tourism” wealth must be really paying dividends!
If they really want to step up their game, they should follow France’s route to even greater royal tourism income
Lol right? Monarchists get real mad if you bring that up. It’s so strange they think the tourism brings in so much money when even more royal lands could be expropriated for tourism. But the argument was never about the tourism.
But the argument was never about the tourism.
Sweating profusely while desperately trying to come up with a single reason royalty should exist in the current century, “Uhhh, tourism?”
“Mi’lordship needs the greatest house in all the world”
Capital keeps these inbred fucks around because their senseless veneration provides a blueprint for how billionaires want to be treated.
Also because they can be made into valuable assets for the intersection of intelligence and finance via the contrast between their public image and their behind closed doors crimes - Prince Andrew being the prime example of the last thirty years or so.
Gentrification is over. Now begins the Princification.
Have they thought about getting rid of the monarchy instead?
I got the royal nepobabies confused for a second and thought this would be overall a good thing, but it’s Andrew that needs to be kept away from children.
I mean this will be in an ultra wealthy neighbourhood, so whatever…
I’d like to go further and ban car parking in all royal territories :starmer-puddle-slurp:
“We love the royals and William and Kate and it’s so exciting they are moving to Forest Lodge. It’s clear this car park closure has not come from them, but is down to security concerns.”
Sometimes I think republican is just an empty word. But it’s really an important state of mind.
“Yeah the queen treated me like a backup son and was racist toward my wife so we’re distancing ourselves from the rest of the royal family but we’re keeping the huge amounts of money and 24/7 security.”
this is a different prince, worse

Whoops, can’t tell 'em apart.
there’s nothing more embarrassing than having a fucking king. literally the only good thing about living in the US
Imagine being one of the countries like Australia who still have to go through a humiliation ritual of pledging loyalty to the Commonwealth. Like it’s one thing for people who live in England. But an entirely sovereign nation pledging loyalty to it’s historical colonizer still? Utterly cucked.
Bold choice of words considering all the gold & kingship aspirations of the current admin.

Also both pedos.
