I have respect for these two, especially Harry for going into battle, but was further impressed to learn about this.

Word is they're riding Honda CRF 230's.

Below: William on a Triumph and Harry on a beater... Honda?

I have a great deal of respect for both of them, and their father too

It disgusts me tthe way our press, with their barely contained republican agenda, are constantly seeking ways of doing our royal family down

[Demon67]

Yeah guys for all that they are privileged etc they both seem to take seriously their positions and yes I know that the people in their outfits automatically become targets but how many of our leaders sons or daughters would put their asses on the line?

Good for them. They seem to be real people. Thank God they look like Mother and did not get the old mans ears.

[Demon67]

Extensive plastic surgery Bobby? Or maybe good luck.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah; I fancy driving a ferrari around the world for the next few weeks, how the hell am I gonna afford that? Oh yeah! I'll just say it's for a worthy cause, you know, some big charity and hey presto I got my (few thousand) sponsors.
Give me a break! If you really want to do something charitable, volunteer to work at the local hospice on a regular basis. Empty and clean a few bed pans, clean up some vomit off the floor, wipe a couple of bums. THEN I'll have respect for you.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed... didn't he?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think we have a Royalist and a semi Yank here.

[Ecosse]

Which am I?

[BobbyR]

Which am I?

Considering you are from MA which was where the whole ruckus began, you are a true Yankee. I am from NY, so we are something else entirely.

Although it was reserved for the eastern part of the commonwealth I like the phrase Swamp Yankee.
