Liberal followers of royalty

I think it comes as a surprise that US liberals (left leaning people) follow the BRF. The Duke of Edinburgh was close to Kurt Hahn, the founder of Gordenstoun, Outward Bound and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. PS, Kurt Hahn was Jewish. Prince Philip helped create the World Wildlife Fund. The Earthshot Prize is a pretty freaking liberal thought as is Save the Children.

re: boarding school, with iPhones and Facetime etc., and the completely different mentality (Charles sent to the freezing cold Gordenstoun to toughen up like Philip), there would still be lots of contact with William and Kate, while giving them a bit of a refuge.

Yep.

Copied this into a photo because I don’t want to get into a pissing match on someone else’s timeline. It is either stupidity or arrogance that William said this. Maybe he was tired. But WTF? The Prince’s Trust has accomplished more than a few things. Prince Philip literally help found Gordenstoun. He was instrumental in the WWF, never mind the DoE scheme. Those are major accomplishments. 🤯
