The Royal Gag

Lately, cutting down on Vlogs on Pakistan’s political circus and teetering economy has been helpful in mitigating that depressive sinking feeling to a great extent. Though it won’t change overall glum picture yet, I don’t intend writing about it. We are being indifferent or at best avoiding to think or talk about this situation and we shall pay the price for it whereas the ‘white’ gold diggers continue to ravage our country. 

As a diversion, found myself drawn into Jerry Springer Show on The British Royals. As if Megxit wasn’t enough, Harry & Meghan go to Netflix to share their wheeny-whiny documentary followed by narcissistic biography by the heir and the ‘Spare’ himself and much more to come as Duchess of Sussex intends sharing her story as well. Suddenly, few slogans against monarchy flashed in my mind that I saw this summer in UK stating, “ “Let the muck of monarchy end with the queen.” “There is no such thing as constitutional monarchy, you can either have constitution or monarchy.” “Monarchy is a violation of human rights, for it's a mockery of equality, dignity and character.” “There is no such thing as her majesty's government.

Few interesting things surfaced during one sided royal slugfest. 

🤴 21st Century and bending down for people of flesh and bone, doesn’t really sink in.

🤴 After all royals are humans with petty issues and major sins like hate, envy, slander, adultery, drugs, murder, greed and so on. If so, then what makes them royals?

🤴 Even the royal pooh when it hits the fan, smells like Pooh. 

🤴 Harry couldn’t take it being a Spare, so he took it out on British society, media and above all his own family. 

🤴 He found his mother in mother of his kids (Meghan). 

🤴 Meghan is better actress than Duchess.

🤴 You may live in a $15 Million mansion in Montecito and still be a victim🤦🏼

🤴 Harry makes multimillion dollar signing for telling his dumb yet royal story and still retains his title, ‘Duke of Sussex’.

🤴 Instead of Windsor Castle or Frogmore Cotrage, Royal dirty laundry is dangling at Trafalgar Square.

🤴 Americanisation of anything is dreadful whether Harry or Pakistan. Both in doldrums. 

Still don’t know why am I embroiled into the royal saga but it has been quite saucy and  such needed diversion from the doom and gloom looming large over our heads in Pakistan.
