I’m not a huge royalist.
To be honest, apart from a couple of them – I question what any of them do.
Oh I appreciate their role in terms of history, pageantry and tourism … but to consider their validity beyond that is ridiculous. Let’s be honest, at this point, they’re more Reality TV stars than anything else.
Andrew should be on Worst Ex Ever.
Harry and Megan need to launch Real Housewives of Santa Barbara.
And Edward probably belongs on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
However, despite all that, NZ is closed today to celebrate King Charles birthday.
I know … I know … we don’t even celebrate that in the UK, but thanks to the Union Jack appearing on the NZ flag, we’re all getting an extra days lie-in EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOT EVEN HIS REAL BIRTHDAY which means – for one day only – NZ may be the most pro-Royal place on earth.
Given how the current government seem hell-bent on undermining everything that makes NZ special, I look forward to them announcing October 7th as a new national holiday: Putin Birthday Day, Day.
See you tomorrow.
