Royals descended from long line of robber barons

What "royal baby" drivel: "THESE are the pictures the world has been waiting for."

It's another "royal " parasite.

When I came to Australia in 1971, I found myself in the Melbourne "dress circle " of Brighton.

My hosts almost immediately brought out the royal magazine Tatler.

I thought Australia was an egalitarian society.

It never was and never will be.

So I decided to have some fun.

I said "I've danced with Princess Margaret at our university "royal ball".

You could have knocked them down with a feather.

I gilded the lily a little.

I had indeed danced with her as she held her Martini in one hand and her Gauloise in the other. She loved to party and gave me her tiara to put somewhere safe.

The British class system is sadly entrenched.

Royal babies are the descendants of a line of robber barons and should have no place in Australia.
