These people are basically just PR husks

When Prince Philip retired last year, he had completed 22,219 "solo engagements" since 1952. That's 65 years. There are 23,725 days in 65 years.

I can't even imagine the cold, impersonal contempt they must have for each other.

What's a solo engagement


Being somewhere in an official capacity. It might be opening a new building, meeting a person, meeting the press, going for a coffee morning, visiting a hospital, skiing in the Alps. Could be all day, could be twenty minutes.

I don't feel one iota of sorrow for these people. They live like kings.

All you need to do is not be too racist and make sure you don't marry a Catholic or a divorcee, and you're pretty much set as a member of the British royalty and you get to live a life of utter luxury with regular public appearances. Whoop de doo.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

I didn't feel bad for them

I'm saying their lifestyle if disgusting excess comes at a seemingly enormous price

They don't even have a real last name ffs. Is inbreeding still an issue among european royalty?

I don't think its an enormous price. 7 official engagements in one week might only amount to 3 or 4 hours of standing around.

I read it as 22,219 / 23,725 days where they've stayed in a hotel, ate 5* food, made to feel important and valuable and busy.
