He was a guest at Windsor Castle following a day out at the annual Royal Ascot horse-racing event....However, the queen vetoed the plan...[Later] as the royal party processed into dinner, the queen's mother said, "Come on everybody -- Nip on! Nip on!"...Hugo Vickers...said it revealed her rather mischievous side.

I fuckin hate the royals... a couple of years learning how to fly fighter jets and then its all taxpayer-funded state-trips and tea-parties... (very reminicent of G W Bushs' life ['cept instead of trips he had wars and instead of tea he had coke'n'lots of it])

PARASITES

Man I hate the royals too - however they do bring in a lot of tourist money which would be missed if we were to get rid of them. Still think we should get rid of them and just keep the palaces and use them for homeless people - imagine how many people could get a good place to live.
