Ok, no problem. I'll try to do my best to produce some understandable English.

Wow I never thought of it that way.grevinnan said:It takes two people to make a snob. The arrogant person feeling entitled to be a snob and another person accepting to feel inferior to the "snob".
james said:I don't know about a snob but I definatley think he has drawn gradually away from "normal " people as it were and more into the upper-class culture which seems stuck in the 18th Century. His hair and clothes could belong to someone twice his age and he's frequently seen wearing a flat cap and carrying guns. I'm sorry but I just don't think the average 23 year old in Britain could equate with him anymore and before anyone says it's because of money and status it's not true as he seemed a lot more in touch only 3-4 years ago. I think he's going to end up living the remote and pampered life his father always has.
In my opinion, the only one who has not changed is Princess Camilla. She is still the same person...at least for now. I love her
Roxsteve said:.. he is just royalty and therefore has a different status (and he knows it too). I think as soon as they become royals, they change. Take Mette-Marit, Maxima, Letizia and Mary as examples. They are snobs now. In my opinion, the only one who has not changed is Princess Camilla. She is still the same person...at least for now. I love her.

I've been to a lot of Polo matches, regularly ride my horses, I like going to expensive clubs and retaurants (I have never been in a MacDonalds), I like to dress well.
None of these make a person a snob, IMO.
William is like a lot of British kids, who want to wear the 'in' labels!

'I hate people who pretend to be superior. It makes it that much harder for those of us who really are'.

This was the post I was replying to, perhaps I misunderstood you? .In my opinion it is someone who does those typical activities like playing polo, going out in expensive clubs, … and who attaches a lot of importance to his clothes and especially their brands. .
*whistles*Skydragon said:Can anyone say in all honesty that they would not, if given the chance, dress in designer clothes all the time, if they are the right clothes for the activity, or go to the better quality nightclubs, where nobody gets into fights?
