Bit of context: Paul Burrell is a free-loading chancer who will do anything to keep his gravy train going.

If you believe his claim about the paper in the bin, I'd like to know where you stand on his claim that he's being haunted by the ghost of Princess Diana.

That being said, King* Charles is definitely living one of the most privileged lifestyles of all time.

Edit: changed it to King

Depends how you define privileged. He’s unbelievably rich. But he can’t ever relax, he has to shake hands and pretend to be interested in about a thousand people a week. And he’s never in his life been to the cinema or a restaurant or any other normal activity without it being a gigantic fan fair. And he could never ever get drunk in front of anybody but his most trusted staff or family. He almost certainly has never had a truly authentic friendship. To see his mum he had to arrange an appointment. I don’t think I’d switch places with him. It’s not the same as being rich and famous like Beyoncé or Bill Gates. I think it rather swap places with anybody in the upper middle class than Charles.

Shaking peoples hands for a living ? Yes. Being a nonce ? No

For real. people are working 3 jobs to afford ramen and I’m supposed to feel sorry for a guy eating caviar off the back of a platypus with a diamond spoon… because he has to shake hands with other wealthy people for his job? Big fuckin boo hoo

That is not nearly all there is to it. You may be rich, but your time no longer belongs to you. Good bye gaming. Goodbye driving where you want. Your entire life is now on display forever and you can no longer do..nvm other guy wrote it all out for you

I don't get it. Being born into that takes all your free will away? Couldn't he just make the decision to be like, I'm not doing that handshake shit no more. I'm about to just chill in my bed and jerk off all day, and play cod? Would the kill him? Would he get kicked out the family? Would they like exile him or something?
