Re: Courtesy for Prince William
I'd be respectful just as I would to anyone but no way would I bow or curtsey. He is no better than anyone else he was just born into a family that we all pay for:blink:

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

At the end of the day he didnt ask to be born into the Royal family. He deserves respect but he does strike me as a guy that wouldnt expect bowing etc. He is a lot more down to earth than others appear to be.
The only member I have ever met is Sarah Ferguson and that was about 15 years ago. She was fantastic...very down to earth |

At work yesterday, someone mentioned William and there was a quick vote (only seven of us there so it wouldn't take long, whatever the question), One Pom (moi), one Kiwi and five Australians going back generations. Six in favour of the monarchy and one (the Kiwi) not fussed either way.

I would treat royalty the same as anyone else.I would imagine some of the people that hang around with them are the big snobs.William and Harry seem as normal as royals can be.

Re: Courtesy for Prince William
I can't recall seeing many if any people in the UK bowing or curtsying when meeting Royalty, so I can't see why the Aussie press are expecting their people to do so. A polite shake of the hand and greeting is all that is needed - the same as any other head of state you happen meet.
If you have no respect for the person - don't go to see them/be in a position where you have to greet them. Simple. As for the comment that no-one gives a toss about them - a somewhat sweeping statement!! Wasn't there some sort of referendum years ago as to whether to keep the Queen as head of state? Wasn't it decided to keep her?? Whether the margins were great or small is somewhat irrelevant as the majority won the vote. |
