Spare Us

By Miss Kubelik

Well, it was probably unavoidable: We cats will have to weigh in on the British Royal Family and, um, that book. We've been watching the Windsors for a lot of years now. Haven't we been here before?

But to our surprise, we do have a few things we'd like to say.

  • It's so amazing how much trouble James Hewitt's son is trying to stir up!
  • Harry apparently doesn't realize that the only thing that made him special was his membership in The Firm. Now that he's given it up and moved to California, he's done.
  • The Windsors' unspoken arrangement is: Do your royal duties, or you don't get paid. Which is why the Sussexes are now frantically trying to figure out how to monetize an association they've voluntarily relinquished.
  • We don't doubt that racism and misogyny are rampant in Courtier World. But if Harry's trying to get that across to people, he's going about it the wrong way. A new YouGov poll finds only 26 percent of Britons have a positive opinion of him now.

Ultimately, this is something we need to leave to the UK to sort out. Americans have too many other problems here at home — like climate change and defending democracy — to worry about whingeing rich people. We cats HISS.
