Pray tell... what is their purpose? What do they do? Bit of charity work here and there... bit of travelling around the world in the name of keeping good relations with the commonwealth... bit of skiing... bit of hanging around the palace... um... yeah, all in all, they're essential for Britain.
If it's anything like the wedding of Diana and Charles, then you'll be in for treat; Parading through London in gold encrusted horse-drawn carriages, guards and officials dressed in lavish robes, and diamond encrusted everything. In a word: obscene. Even more so considering the current state of the UK. Remind me again what purpose the royal family serves?
Lbones has a valid point with the history of Mourinho V Barca to a certain extent. His Chelsea team was robbed by one of the worst refereeing performances of all time in 2009, when Barca went on to win the final, and indeed, the Van Persie sending off this year was ridiculous (although i still think Arsenal would have lost that game). But last night Real Madrid deserved nothing. They were being played of the park well before the sending off and the red card was the right decision (studs up, knee high). Saying that, Barca soured their superior football somewhat by acting like teenage girls. Diving, whining, complaining, and generally pissing and moaning. The only thing that saved this from being by far the worst Clasico in history was that boy Messi. What. A. Goal. 'Supernatural' the commentator called it at the time. Aside from the goal, Messi was also one of the few Barca who played with any dignity. Mourinho should take a leaf out of his book.
Congratulations Barca, roll on United!
