Hooray for MY Princes...........

When the two Royal Princes rolled up their sleeves and helped with protecting people at risk of flooding, they showed their commitment to their people. This was no mere photo opportunity – indeed Princes William and Harry made clear their displeasure at the presence of photographers. Neither were they simply getting in the way; the Royal brothers both have military experience, with Prince Harry still serving in the Army. They worked from 6am to help to protect Datchet in Berkshire. The visit was not announced and the media only got wind of it at 11am. This story speaks of older values.


There is something that seems right in a timeless sense when the heir to the Throne helps shepherd his people through a traumatic, distressing and dangerous time. Along with the Princes helping out physically, Her Majesty the Queen has also offered help to Somerset farmers with feed and bedding from the Windsor Estate. Not only does this exemplify the rootedness of our Royal Family through its connections with the countryside, but there is also an echo of the decision by George VI and Queen Elizabeth to remain in London during the Blitz. The support is not only practical, but is also a profound moral support to a nation in distress.

As politicians and bureaucrats blame each other the role of Monarchy and the ability for the Royal family to pull us together rather than divide us is yet again demonstrated by the response of our Royal Family to the terrible floods that this nation has been subjected to by the elements.(from British Monarchist society Feb 2014 ver batam. I could not have said it better. )

When politicians in the UK and in the US are shameless and obviously in the job for the power and status and money, I am never more proud that as a nation England, Great Britain and the Commonwealth can claim such wonderful young men as their own.They have hearts, they have commitment to service and love of country and tradition. They are among the hardest working families in the country. The Queen is a role model who has served her country and people since a very young girl. They are trained to serve. They do not need to, they could sit back and do nothing, many would. They don't. They boys also have great examples in Diana and Charles. Charles especially is devoted to the land and country. Diana was a people person and her talents lay in that direction, the glamour and the glitz were only a small part of her. I admit, I did not like Diana the wife, but she was a terrific mother and I came to admire the mature Diana who gave of herself to many causes. If only, if only she could have been that way sooner. Charles has a love of the quieter life, a farmers life, an artist. The boys have both served in the military as has every member of the family. They actually do the work too. Andrew was in the Falklands war as a pilot. They do not shirk their duty.



Anyway........my point is that the country should be proud that their future King is not too proud that he can't get down and dirty like everyone else. Reminds me of King Charles ll getting out with buckets and dousing the flames during the great fire of London. Yes I am proud to say they are MY Royal family and I would never trade that for an American citizenship. Ever.......
