    People are surprised monarchs are rapists. Centuries of inbreeding do not produce healthy minds.

      Generational wealth and power, does not produce healthy minds.

      The inbreeding was a side effect of an already broken system.

      To be fair, he doesn’t have a title or any official position of power. His mother already had him when she met and later married the crown prince of Norway. But everyone in Norway knows who he is and he’s definitely very privileged, so he may have abused that fact…

        The royals are quite decent and cool. I’m in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I’m ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince’s sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It’s almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.

        Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn’t be in the line of succession?

      I don’t think he really has a position of power. And it could well be that this costs him the chance for the crown.

      I hope it does. I’m trying to marry into royalty so I can have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Like eat pancakes for dinner. Or eat pancakes for lunch. Or have a second helping of pancakes for breakfast. Really, just more pancakes.

      Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.

      Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not “punching up”. His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.

      Just poke at his personality or actions. There’s plenty there.
