newsboy,
You are very correct in your comments. When I see many people berate the US military on the facilities that we have over here, I can understand their frustration about having a foreign military on their soil. But I think the question that they need to really ask is…

Who runs the royal family here, the IHA? If they want people to revere them as royals, then why don't they act it. Instead of doing what handlers tell her to do, just fire them all. After all, she is the princess. A few well placed firings, and one or…
