"The British monarchy shares the tradition of American exceptionalism..." <-- That's definitely a new one!
"This is the all-star panel!" 
"The British Monarchy is one of the most consequential conservative institutions in history"
"In 1215, the Monarchy agreed that not even the king was above the law" <-- King John would find this news
"All of these rights were exported from Britain's constitutional monarchy" <-- the idea that we have our rights as a gift of grace from His Majesty is... weird...
I would not be proud of having brought Boris Johnson to 10 Downing Street if I were you...
Boris Johnson has a "Social Justice Advisor"?
Good God! Now they are blaming BREXIT on Margaret Thatcher!
Ian Duncan Smith trying to pull the panel back to sanity—that the symbolic head of state should not be a _politician_... but a dignified symbol of national unity, for example: not afraid to get vaccinated & urge others to do so.
Does he understand that Heritage is vax-sceptical?
Does he understand that Heritage is vax-sceptical?
"not a scintilla of racist beliefs within the royal family" <-- pure 100% classism, then? Cf.: Margaret Thatcher the grocer's daughter's loathing for Balmoral...
We are not royalists as realists! 65% pro-royal!
"Is it worth my time following around a 94 year old woman in her daily life? There's a market!... Ordinary people elevated to celebrities and showing their human side..." Camilla-gate is the moment when the public loves them best, when they are seen to be fallible...
Meghan & Harry overshared... abandoned Britain in its hour of need...
Why have they left their 94 year old grandmother & her 99 year old husband in their hour of need?
Why did Harry & Meghan feel that they had to throw a grenade and then run away from the wreckage? Sussexes as bullies...
Tim Montgomery: politics in the head of state means that there is no escape from politics—but politics should not be the dominant part of a nation's life... the royal family understand that tradition, history, family, service, charity, faith are more important than politics
"The nation's granny..."
The queen's approval is much higher than the monarchy generally... the divisiveness of Charles... Sympathy for Charles will cement his accession & keep the institution going for decades yet...
"Why does the LEFT despise the monarchy?" <-- Maybe Thomas Jefferson would have ideas? "The Far Left wants to cancel the monarchy, which represents all our conservative values—western civilization, our heritage"
The English on the panel want to see the monarchy as a non-political social-network symbol of national unity and concern. This Heritage nutboy Nile Gardiner wants the Monarchy to be the jawbone of an ass that can be wielded by the right in the culture war...
"Most Americans love the Queen", says Nile Gardiner... <-- in the same sense that Americans love potato chips, yes...
"How should Boris Johnson respond to American politicians' criticizing the British Monarchy", asks Joseph Loconte...
"Who hasn't made a mistake in their family life?" says Iain Duncan Smith...
"I have never criticized the institution of the presidency" says Iain Duncan Smith. Why not? I cannot follow him. If you have never criticized the institution of the presidency, there is something wrong with you...
Prince Charles described as "a kind-hearted fellow; a bit weak in trying to arbitrate between his warring sons..."
Edward IV, George Duke of Clarence, Richard Duke of Gloucester <-- There was some sibling rivalry for you!
Edward IV, George Duke of Clarence, Richard Duke of Gloucester <-- There was some sibling rivalry for you!
"A complete lack of introspection on the sofa by Harry & Meghan" <-- Camilla Tominey
"A great deal of personal sacrifice" <-- Camilla Tominey on how hard HM's life has been...
"A great deal of personal sacrifice" <-- Camilla Tominey on how hard HM's life has been...
"For people to repeat the allegation that there was a member of the royal family who was worried how 'dark' Meghan's children would be" "To constantly be looking for racism in institutions that have held us together" <-- Tim Montgomery
Isn't this just "DON'T MENTION THE WAR!"
Isn't this just "DON'T MENTION THE WAR!"
"There is not a shred of racism in the royal family" "the royal family has a history of using inappropriate language" "Prince Harry used the P-word" <-- Camilla Tominey
"It's just tarred them all with this brush!" <--Camilla Tominey
"Why is America trying to export its obsession with race to Britain" <--Joseph Leconte
"The interview a cruise missile strike against the British monarchy... a dagger at the heart" <-- Nile Gardiner
"Why is America trying to export its obsession with race to Britain" <--Joseph Leconte
"The interview a cruise missile strike against the British monarchy... a dagger at the heart" <-- Nile Gardiner
"Attacks on the British monarchy are attacks on the U.K. itself" <-- Nile Gardiner
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT THERE BE A BUST OF WINSTON CHURCHILL IN THE Oval Office <-- Gardiner
The British government must respond to these attacks from the WH, HR, & MO <-- Gardiner
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT THERE BE A BUST OF WINSTON CHURCHILL IN THE Oval Office <-- Gardiner
The British government must respond to these attacks from the WH, HR, & MO <-- Gardiner
"This is not the first time that an American administration has behaved badly with respect to Britain! Roosevelt would not meet privately with Churchill at Yalta!" <-- Joseph Leconte
The Heritage people--Nile Gardiner & Joseph Leconte--desperately want the British government & crown to attack Meghan & Harry & all their "sympathizers" inside the U.S. as a move in U.S. politics. The Englishmen have a very different view—that we all need mutual respect & see
how much England & America have in common. Heritage wants a fight. The English[wo|]men want to sing "kumbaya". & the English[wo|]men are horrified and trying to redirect it away from "let's fight!"
Sir Iain is brutal in his sotto voce attack on his Heritage hosts: "we deserve better than for this to be made a partisan political agenda for a domestic audience"
Tim Montgomery: What we ought to be talking about rather than whether we like Harry & Meghan is what to do about this rise of China!
Camilla Tominey: Long live the Queen! And long may the royals rule over my mortgage! Royals on a pedestal well above even the Hollywood A-list!
Camilla Tominey: "The great affection between the Obamas and HM..."
