As they get to cut down on the amount of dosh they spend on news from the Associated Press for a week or so. The journalist gets to exercise his pen and the sales teams can flog a few pommie royalty stubby holders.

I think it's sad that these people voice such disrespect for a man who may well become their King.

Regardless of whether you support a republic or not, do you think Prince William deserves to be treated Royally? Would you bow or curtsy to him?



No and no.

Edit: Out of interest Brissy Bee where is this article? On the official website, it just states 'There are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family' unless you want to.

I'd curtsey for this gentleman. I could even think of more innovative ways to show my respect.

You'd be wasting your time, he's gay. It's obvious.

I think royalty should chuck in the towel and accept no one gives a toss anymore.

A lot of people do give a toss, there are almost as many Aussies that are for them as against, so don't assume everyone thinks the same as you

I don't think that's the case. Royalists are definitely in the minority.
