Royally Hung Up.

It seems that the Monarchy are in a right royal state, after it has emerged that the News of the World (who'd have thought!?) have been tapping their phones and listening to their voicemail.
It takes me back to previous Royal Tapping Scandals, involving "Camillagate" and... "squidgygate"....(I just don't want to know.)

The only thoughts that I have to share on this matter....ok thought, is that the only effect this will have is perhaps an increase in tourists at Buckingham Palace.

After all, the Royal Family has faced almost every scandal possible; infidelity, divorce, a dramatic death, and many other iffy issues.* The fact is, theyre still there. The reason why is that, while not everybody thinks that they provide a purpose, they do. Turn the television off, put the computer on standby, and pick up a newspaper to read about what those Terrific Toffs have got up recently.

The monarchy do succeed in providing their loyal subjects with first-class entertainment. (Although, the more intellectual subjects notice that its mainly the tabloids that think we care.)
The News of the World's circulation has dropped by half a million in recent years; inventing the truth is more their style.

Nobody really cares, but we can't help but crack a smile as we wait for the next installment of zany antics from the Palace.

*Not to mention Harry dressing as a Nazi to a party. 'Nuff said.
