I often hear people say about Kate Middleton, future Queen, “Well, good luck to her, but I wouldn’t want to put up with all that protocol.” There is no accounting for the stupidity of the plebs. Think about it.
1. You would never have to keep a drawer full of grey cotton knickers because you made a mistake in the washing and you can’t afford to replace them at the moment.
2. Ditto bras.
3. You could have all your bras made to fit perfectly.
4. You could have all matching sets of undies instead of ones for “best”.
5. You could keep all your favourite clothes because you would have tons of cupboard space.
6. None of your clothes would smell of mothballs.
7. You would always be able to find stockings or tights with no runs.
8. You wouldn’t have to wear Lycra T-shirts to make ironing easier.
9. You wouldn’t have to iron.

11. You wouldn’t have to clean the house, the dog’s mess, the baby’s bum.

21. You can ask to have Harrod’s department store all to yourself to do your Christmas shopping in private.

35. Your electricity will never be cut off.
36. Your car will always start (it will probably be warmed up for you).
37. Your car will never break down ( difficult as it will have to be a British car).
38. Y our children will go to the best schools and you won’t have to drive them.
39. You won’t have to put the rubbish out.
40. You will never have to wear dentures.
Mind you, I can see that having Elisabeth Regina as a mother-in-law might be a bit daunting, but there isn’t a mother-in-law who isn’t so it’s a small price to pay.
Most of these reasons are so materialistic and so not worth putting up with the bs that comes with being a part of that family.
