I saw a pathetic headline late yesterday at PEOPLE<\/a> about the British royal family, a whole ass story about how Princess Kate greeted Princess Anne, \u201cKate Middleton and Princess Anne Skip Their Usual Kiss Greeting in Moment Caught on Camera\u201d, and the inanity of it says so much about the state of the Firm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The British royals gathered yesterday in limited quantities for the first time publicly since Just Andrew was arrested under suspicion of exchanging national trade secrets with a billionaire convicted sex offender who sex trafficked young women and girls to his collection of wealthy and influential associates. King Charles and Consort Camilla were joined by Prince William, Princess Kate, and Princess Anne. They were all at Westminster Abbey to commemorate Commonwealth Day, a major priority for the royal institution and several Commonwealth countries have called for the removal of Just Andrew from the line of succession. Some of those same countries have been, for a while now, considering leaving the Commonwealth altogether. Just Andrew\u2019s ongoing scandals only reinforce the inclusion to exit for those who are determined to make it happen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There were protestors outside yesterday, calling for the fall of the British monarchy, and also demanding answers from King Charles about how much he knew of Just Andrew\u2019s associations with Jeffrey Epstein and why Andrew was protected for so long. Going back to that ridiculous story about Anne and Kate\u2019s non-kiss when they greeted each other then, it was basically the only sunshine cutesy story anyone could generate about yesterday\u2019s royal outing while ignoring the spectre of the alleged sex pest in the room\u2026 conveniently just as this photo was released.<\/p>\n

A new photograph that appears to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a young woman on his lap has been published by the US Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

Seriously. A large hat and a stiff ass greeting is the best they can do right now to combat the negativity. Uptight family members saying hello to each other, pretending it\u2019s all fine, fine, fine while people are shouting outside that they don\u2019t deserve to be glorified. But we\u2019re expected to be distracted by this\u2026?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s embarrassing all around. It\u2019s embarrassing a member of the public seeing a reporter attempt to spin this \u2026 laugh\u2026 into something golden. And it\u2019s embarrassing for them, this family who throughout history operated on the belief that it was enough for them to just\u2026 be\u2026 and that it would be enough, to now watch them TRY. SO. HARD. Because remember, their whole sh-t is looking down on people who have to put in the effort. For a century they\u2019d just show up with a title and that would suffice and everyone else would literally have to bend their bodies in deference. And now, suddenly, they\u2019ve been forced into trying to grow personalities so that we might remember why we thought they were so dazzling in the first place, when the rot was festering in the floorboards and the walls all along. An affected laugh and a hat and an aborted kiss isn\u2019t going to change that.<\/p>\n
