Absolutely creasing at the idea that serving in a war is an excuse for being a shithead your whole life.

    Hitler was sympathetic to the Windsors and treated the Duchess like royalty.

    The royals as a family and as an institution chose to make Edward VIII a duke after his 1936 abdication. The family of Nazi-enablers kept him in privilege, sheltered him in the Bahamas during the war their inaction caused, and then let him retire in luxury on soil Nazi-killers won back where he peacefully died after being visited by his loving sister, Elizabeth II. Today we mourn her cousin-husband, otherwise notable for sheltering his paedophile son in a similar manner until that son spontaneously went on national television and said he can't be a paedophile because he can't sweat.

    Whatever performative bullshit they do during wars, who caused those wars. What power do those wars protect. What dysfunction was caused in those countries by that power prior to the war. If a V-2 hit Phillip directly in the urethra and he died waddling around on a balcony with it sticking out of his dick until it explodes in front of everyone, we would at least have gotten some value out of his life. Instead we got him and the sycophantic Disney Adults who think they'll get to be dukes one day if they're loyal to the special family.
