This story really surprised me. They are both leaving the Royal Family? Whoa.
https://www.insider.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-leave-royal-family-what-happens-next-2020-1
Who will take over after the Queen passes away? Will this affect the Great British government in any way? Is this the beginning of the end for the old Royal Family traditions?

Harry is sixth in line of succession. It's doubtful it would ever get to him anyway.

My wife's reactions to this, "Who fucking cares about the royal family, thank god we (USA) got rid of those assholes."
This is a surprising response because she's like all about celebrities and actors and shit.

Yeah, we supposedly did away with nobility but people seem to love the idea and have adapted it to include anyone who has amassed a lot of money rather than birthright. Then again, look at our 20th century tradition of "political dynasties"

I like the Queen, as long as she stays out of our politics, which she 99.9 % does... except for one time.
I'd rate her as less of a problem than the CIA, by far.

The whole line of succession rules are fascinating. They got rid of male privilege for the younger generation, but still no bastards or Catholics.

Megan has a face you love to hate. āStuck Upā is tattooed on her forehead. So, based on nothing else, I bet sheās the reason for all the drama.
Or maybe itās all the racist shit she deff has to put up with? Either way, fuuuuuck that gurl. Idk why I canāt stand herš¤·š»āāļø

Lol maybe. What racism were you thinking of that she has to deal with? The royals do a lot of charity work. They also make great subjects for songs.

Aw cmon...the whitest family in the world wasnāt weird toward its first non-white member ever?
I guess itās possible, but with Megan breaking tradition left and right, plus being American, there was definitely resentment on a personal level.

Yes ok, fair points, I just never gave it much thought other than some sort of jealous crap between the 2 brides. I'd be tempted to call it a female issue... but I ain't debating that one

She's half black and left wing, so the royals probably didn't go out of their way to make her feel welcome.

I think the Queen would have made her feel welcome, the rest of them I don't know much about. The Queen was a volunteer during WWII. I think she has a reasonable understanding of the world.

How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are a boost worth more than $28M for Canada
Quote:
Canadians may not yet know just who will pay the bills for keeping the Duke and Duchess of Sussex safe while in Canada, but a marketing expert says the famous couple are generating the kind of positive attention that public relations and tourism bureaus dream of.
So whether you love the Royals, loathe them or feel indifferent, Harry and Meghan are boosting Canada's brand value just by being here.
Not by a little. By a lot.
The equivalent of more than $28 million worth of "brand value," according to calculations completed for CBC Radio's The Cost of Living.
Quote:
The 'Sussex effect' on the Canadian economy Even without public funds and without their titles of Royal Highness, Harry and Meghan are likely to still be wealthy. But it's not their direct spending that will boost the economy, it's their celebrity that has the potential to influence and boost Canada's economy in unexpected ways.
The coverage of Meghan and Harry choosing Canada as a home has drawn attention from news organizations, social media influencers and fans around the world.
It's the kind of attention tourism dollars can't buy. But to try putting a dollar figure on it anyway, The Cost of Living turned to Eric Smallwood, president of Apex Marketing Group in St. Clair, MI.
We evaluated the value for Canada, as a brand, in association and attributed to stories that were run either on TV news, radio, digital and print news, as well as Facebook and Twitter," said Smallwood.
Apex searched for every reference to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in those sources from January 1, 2020, until 2 p.m. ET on January 22, 2020.
The firm used these references to calculated the equivalent brand value, which Smallwood describes as the "earned media value" ā essentially, how much value an organization would spend or receive if it was paying for advertisements, marketing and similar public relations.
So how much exposure Harry and Meghan have added to "Brand Canada" in 2020? The results surprised Smallwood.
"It came out to be over $28 million in value," he said. "It was definitely on the higher end of what we expected."
Specifically the marketing firm calculated that the value to Canada's brand from all the coverage between Jan. 1 and Jan 22, 2020 was $28,211,991.
Quote:
Meghan has her own Markle effect
Toronto jewlery designer Sue Henderson, owner and designer behind Suetables, experienced a version of this "brand value" in November 2019 when the Duchess of Sussex wore the company's products in public.
"I woke up from a text from our marketing manager on November 19th," said Henderson.
"She wrote: 'IT HAPPENED' with a screen shot of Meghan Markle wearing two of our necklaces.
The two 10-karat gold zodiac charms worn by Markle represented Harry and Archie's astrological signs.
"I've always been a fan of Meghan Markle," said Henderson. "I had been trying to get her to wear our jewlery for years when she was on Suits."
The jewelry designer told The Cost of Living she was most excited by the worldwide attention, which thrust her designs onto the international stage just from being worn by ā and seen on ā Meghan Markle.
"Within two days we were all over the world. We had over 30 articles written about us. The coverage was crazy," said Henderson.
"I knew it would create a buzz, but we're a small Canadian company. We thought our Canadian followers would go, 'Oh, that's really cool! We'll buy more of that.' But it was the international component that we just didn't expect."
Henderson said the sales lasted for weeks, including sales boosts on November 2019's "Black Friday" and through the Christmas period. The designer told CBC Radio that online sales from the end of November increased by 150 per cent, and that their typical online team grew from just one person to ten.
"Any random person that ever said to me, 'Hey, you know if you ever need any help...' I'm like, okay, you're a full time [gift] wrapper," said Henderson, who also said visitors to the Suetables website increased by more than 700 per cent.
Henderson and her team were over the moon when Markle wore one of the charms again, in a recent visit to a Vancouver women's centre.
Quote:
Meghan and Harry's economic impact could be manifold
There are many other ways the Sussexes could bump Canada's economy. Take real estate for example. As the world follows Harry and Meghan's house-hunt, glamour shots of Vancouver Island will likely go viral.
"I mean, they're gonna show pictures of the house that they're staying in, the scenery around it, so it will be a high profile location for people to visit in a tourism scenario and then this should help the real estate in that area," said Apex Marketing's Eric Smallwood.
The marketing expert compared the effect on real estate to what happened with famous locations U.S. presidents vacationed in.
"Kennebunkport, Maine, is a good example, where the Bushes would reside. The Kennedys with Martha's Vineyard. All those are high profile [locations] but also high real estate and it keeps growing," said Smallwood.
Harry and Meghan could have lived anywhere, but they chose Canada. And that means almost every time the world talks about the famous couple, they'll hear about this country and what the Sussexes are doing here.
That will draw attention to Canada, but also create potential "brand value" for any businesses the couple choose to patronize.
"They're going to be Canadian royalty in a sense," said Smallwood.
"Not technically, but they will be. When they cross the country and do whatever business they're going to be doing. You know they're going to be followed. They're celebrities."
Quote:
What Canada currently pays for
Right now, Canada spends around $62 million a year on the Crown, according to the Monarchist League of Canada. Canadians don't pay anything toward the Royal Family's daily expenses, offices or residences in the United Kingdom. The Queen covers those costs.
Canadians do pay for the Queen's representatives here at home. That ranges from the Governor General in Ottawa and all the office's supporting departments to the provincial lieutenant-governors.
We also cover costs when members of the Royal Family come to Canada for official visits, such as when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge came to Canada for eight days in 2016 to help celebrate the country's sesquicentennial.

That studio version was a little toned down from the one they put on the album the following year. One of those versions was #1 in the U.K. while it was banned from the radio which I don't think ever happened before or since. The Winterland show was the last of their very short American tour. They looked good. I can hear bass but it doesn't look like Sid is playing it.
76 was my first legal drinking year. The wonderful no condom required 70's.

I did not know that, but I guess I'm not surprised. Knifed by offended royalists.
The articles say he permanently lost feeling in the two middle fingers of his left hand and has played guitar right handed ever since. That doesn't make sense at all. To play guitar right handed you need the fingers in your left hand, but you only need your thumb and forefinger of your right hand to hold the pick. Unless you want to fingerpick but I never saw a punk do that. I never saw Lydon play a guitar, but I never got into Public Image Ltd, only the Pistols.

I saw Public Image Ltd a couple years ago because a friend wanted to go. Wasn't expecting much as I was never much of a fan but it ended up being a good show.
