yeah, it's like comic relief, live aid and children in need etc. They all benefit from the exposure while expecting ordinary people to part with their cash

Aren't you a crown-thumper Rustic? You have no issue with it when it's William and Kate tottering around Africa then coming back to the UK to belch about how humbling it all was and how the UK public should support their charities, whilst they wave from their gold-laden carriages. It's all gravy then, isn't it? But not for mudblood Hollywood celebs I suppose ... just inbred English toffs :joker:.

What sort of charity work or work raising awareness is it that you think they're doing that doesn't, ultimately, ask that people open their purses and make a donation? Just because they do it in stately homes wearing tiaras doesn't make it any different. Smoke and mirrors. It is exactly the same thing dressed up in a fancy gown.

Not only that, but people are constantly beating the drum that this is one of the reasons they're valuable and we should keep them... their support of charities. Bowing and pawing at their charitable feet in any Royal thread on TiBB. But like I said... random Hollywood celebs doing the same thing and it's "Yuck, mudbloods, who do they think they are??". Pff.



No.

There is simply no comparison.

Harry and Megan are more in line with celeb endorsements of charities. The royals are not so upfront as begging for money, and it's quite a bit different to call 05678900000 now and pledge all your available cash or be branded a heartless bastard

Quite a different scenario dont you think?...

There's no comparison if you're a Royalist and give them "special status" - if you see them for what they are, there's a very obvious comparison.

AND thats the difference....
