Thanks for calling my opinion, codswallop, that was really nice of you.
They aren't anyone else, they are royalty. End of.
Not just because they are living off the radar for however long, but simple because they are royal. It's part of their life, deal with it.
Exactly. I dont get why people think they are "normal" and can live off the radar for the the next two years without being photographed while living as Mr. Air Rescue Pilot and Mrs. Housewife.
William is in line for the british throne and there comes responsibility with it. You cant just pop back at some point saying, ok, now I have to, here we go. Because of what has already happened, I understand where William is coming from but its not working.
After all the british taxpayer had to pay for his wedding, if William thought he was so normal he could have fought his corner to have a small family affair. Guess what he was told, its not possible, like other things he would like to have arent possible either, see above, the private Wales household for the next whatever years without any intrusion is an illusion.
Yes, they are rich but why? Because they worked for it? No they are rich because of who they are, royals, given money, land, property, assets through the centuries. They are benefitting from a stone-old stystem their ancestors once created. Thats why they can pay an obscene amout of money for a honeymoon. I do think they are entitled to privacy during their honeymoon and shouldnt be harrassed, but I do think differently about their married life ahead.
William has huge, huge privileges that have nothing to do with "being normal" and for that reason the cant just put on his rescue uniform, a job by the way that he would never have gotten without being who he is, and say, now leave us alone here in Wales in our "normal" life for the time being, and, same goes for our "normal" luxury holidays, please.
If there is one thing that is "normal" about William is that he, as a royal, has to endure the same public & media interest like his peers. He should either get used to it or, as a consequence, ask Harry to step in and give up everything that is obviously so annoying to him as soon as the game is not being played by his rules.
Many royals before William already tried to dictate the rules to public and media - be available when I want to and leave me alone when I want to - in the BRF Diana comes to my mind, but failed miserably. The same will happen to William at some point, too bad that he needs both, the favour of public and media, in order to survice as monarch of an outdated institution.
