Because they are Royal, they are not allowed to fall in love and marry someone who doesn't have Royal blood? The practice of arranging marriages within Royal Families is over, thank GOD. You have a seriously archaic way of thinking about Royalty that doesn't fit into the current century.
I did say I have no problem with them marrying commoners.
My problem is that they then still see themselves as somehow special and better than everyone else when in fact they are becoming commoners themselves.
My view of thinking about royalty in the current century very much fits in - the concept of monarchy is what is archaic and past its use by date and as long as they continue to make themselves ordinary and commoners that idea will continue to grow.
I was a rabid monarchist when I joined this board 2 years ago but thanks to the people here have become and ardent republican. I am thankful for the people on here who have shown my how archaic my ideas of two years ago were and how much more I am now intune with the modern world as a result of being here.
