Apparently they have a "Royal Tour Blizz" planned They tried this already and got fired by two of their territories. Seriously. Who is planning for them? I’m just gonna say it. People don’t like the royals outside of Europe and even there it’s shaky in some places. They have to stop with these tours. They consistently say or do something tone deaf and piss off the locals. The tours are expensive and ultimately pointless because their kingdom is SHRINKING. They need to focus on something else. Or make up with Meghan and Harry and send them or something. This ain’t it. You get my vote Nicki! But although a Brit I am not a royalist. I find them a waste of money, resources and a present day reminder of an unfair and colonial past. They are an embarrassment and they just don't seem to care. |

I think the tours barely worked when Memaw was alive. For Memaw only.
If they're going to insist maybe they should send Kate without William? People seem halfway excited to see her.
See, this is why they should have kept Harry and Meg around. You need to either be a pretty woman or have a personality and/or presence to be tolerated in other countries.
You can't send a stiff white dude with a stick up his ass.

Maybe that's why he likes Rose so much, she doesn't object to pegging.

I mean, with common sense and reason - how is that even possible? How did the planners, the consultants, and the Wales themselves fail so horribly? But then - Willi looks quite happy. I'd rather die than embarrass myself and my (future) position like that, but I'm just a commoner, so what do I know. Still - that's terrible and totally revealing.

It doesn't look great I agree, I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable. I found this on google about their visit : The then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Tuvalu as part of the Diamond Jubilee Tour on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. Keeping with the tradition of carrying visitors who arrive by sea, the couple were carried on multicoloured thrones to meet the then Prime Minister of Tuvalu Willy Telavi. Queen Elizabeth II was carried in a canoe there too  |

When your income (Upto them selling the domain .TV for £40m) is dependent on other countries I am sure that countries can prostitute themselves too....
