While the Australian media is currently gushing at the birth of Crown Princess Mary's twins, I am again having the eyes roll in the back of my head.
Maybe I'm just an old sour puss, but I'm failing to share in "Australia's delight" at this momentous event. While it's terrific that she's given birth to healthy children etc etc, a moral black cloud remains in the air over all this gushing rapture in my view.
Let's just take a cursory look at the background of "Australia's" Princess, she was a Real Estate Agent by trade, by definition a profession with extremely low ethics with a barely concealed contempt for their clients. And so the story goes that after reading about the likely venue that the wealthy Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark was to attend while in Sydney for the 2000 Olympic Games, the ambitious Real Estate Agent coincidentally showed up at the same place. And I guess this is where her reported training in Marketing and Advertising really paid off in her courtship of the Crown Prince. But you know what, I don't think the poor bloke ever stood a chance of avoiding her evil clutches, she's also got a qualification from the Australian Direct Marketing Association!
So yes, let all Australia rejoice that our little Cinderella stumbled upon her charming Prince, leaving the behind all her inbred two headed Tasmanian brethren.....certainly that's no life for a "princess"?
Yes, let us bask in the joys of European hereditary monarchy, where all that was needed for the real estate princess to gain such well deserved opulence was to give up her citizenship, religion.....and self respect!
Has she learnt to speak Danish? She probably speaks it as well as Bush claimed to speak Spanish!!
