A Royal Ginger??

Currently having a debate with my workmates about the royal family.

"Last night Stephen Colbert called the Queen a cross dresser. Isn't that an insult?" James brings this up after his show last night in response to a London tube ad calling South Carolina gay.
"She's actually quite good looking..."

"What will you do when Charles takes over???" I wonder. That'd be awful.
"No damn different than it is now!" Adam says.
"They should just put Harry on the throne." Sacha suggests. "Throw some parties every night, smoke a bit..."
"He's not even Charles' son"
"That's right, they're all Germans, where did a f***in ginger come from???"
"They should get a black kid on the throne." James nobly offers. "With an afro..."

Royals -- with all that “DNA soup,” there’s no telling what physical or mental traits any of them have inherited.

Since the queen’s great-grandfather (Edward the VII) was the son of Queen Victoria & Prince Albert Saxe-Coburg, William and Harry can trace their ancestry (through Charles) to Germany, and Denmark, and Prussia, and who knows what other European royalty. Somehow they’re also related to the Russian Czars, as well.

Come to think of it, their genealogy is more convoluted than that of a Missouri hillbilly!

who cares who sits on the throne, they are just ceremonial and don't do anything,sounds like a few people i work with!

Nice to see the pictures of the coliseum and the burger king! where are the pictures of the italian crazies?
I think if you follow their genealogy i bet there will be some connection to arkansas... ever see the queens teeth?

Glad to see you're helping the brits solve their royal problems. Should you be insulted by Unca Charley's Missouri comment??? Maybe you're even considered a hillbilly now after 4 years there . . . and counting!
