Is it coincidence that the second post in that thread is by "Big Dave," who describes himself as "100% MAGA" and whose tagline is "2bz4thot? I think not.

Your cover is blown.

And if you keep scrolling, Cher is engaged? That ring would be hard to say no to!

I believe the correct spelling is ‘Wales’, was the incorrect spelling some kind of a hook?

It's Fox, where misspellings are the least significant of problems.

Imagine how bad the editing will be after the legal settlement.

Oh, I thought it was meant to mean Kate is too heavy or is pregnant or something like that.

I never imagined such a clueless spelling error could get past the checkers.

They have checkers, do they not? (jk)


PS: Nobody could possibly come anywhere near saying Kate is too heavy. She is as thin as a fashion model. Although she looks pretty darn good, at least on camera. Being so thin after having three kids is often not that easy to accomplish.

Yeah, she's perfect for the part. Beautiful, elegant and yet somewhat approachable, discrete: she's exactly the right woman for the job.

She adds dignity to the royal family at a time when it is desperately needed.

They benefit from an occasional infusion of "commoner" into their ranks.

I watched hours and hours and hours of Royal Family history this weekend. I didn't intend to do that but the documentaries were so interesting I couldn't stop. What's incredible is to see how far back the traditions, beliefs and attitudes date and how they came about.

Every time I watch the accounts of times when monarchs had absolute power (egged on or even manipulated by their underlings) I wonder why any commoner type would want to be anywhere near the court, where the sovereign would gruesomely dispatch even his most loyal followers on a whim (or as manipulated by an ambitious schemer). I can't stand the beheading scenes but the prolonged and vicious tortures they employed for some poor folks are details I would like to unhear and unsee. Yow. How could people be so cruel. I think Henry VIII lost his mind at some point, long before his bloated body gave up the ghost. And who on earth would desire to wed the man? He wasn't averse to dispatching his wives, obviously. How do people never think it can happen to them? Plus, he got to be not the least desirable.

I can see how much Queen Elizabeth had to adjust and modernize in her lifetime as times changed. Unfortunately, the family members rely heavily on their advisors who so often throughout history had their own objectives in mind so weren't always as trustworthy as the monarchs thought. It's not too hard to imagine that could still be a factor. Not in the outrageous ways of yesteryear though. Hopefully.

It's intriguing to imagine how Will & Kate will change things up. As well as to wonder how long the institution may last.

Doesn’t surprise me in the least. In college I had a journalism professor tell me broadcast media was ran by airheads and they would dumb society down. Pretty much what happened. The citizens are being robbed blind because the are too stupid to even see it let alone do anything to prevent it.

Princess of Whales? Does she live at Sea World or is this a female leader of fat humans?

Too skinny to be a land whale. The BBC could make a full length animation of Kate's adventures under the sea.
