Re: Royals - normal?

And the point I'm trying to make is she has a lifestyle which the majority of people in the UK do not experience. OK I don't know what she does on a day-to-day basis but I know enough about her (armed guards, Queen as grandmother, cousin as future King etc) to say that this is NOT what I'd call 'normal'.

I (and I think most people) would define normal as get up, go to work, come home shattered, make dinner, slouch in front of the tv or indulge in hobbies, you know, the 'rat race', worry about debts etc. This might not be EVERYONE'S idea of a lifestyle but I'd bet it would be closer than what a member of the Royals goes through each day.

As for being a 'chav' - maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I don't waste my time being concerned about whether I fit a social stereotype or not. My judgements on people are based on what I see and what information they make available. And even then I could be wrong. But there are some aspects which are undeniable, such as what we know a royal to go through.
