The press fawning over "our" Queen Mary is really cringe and gross. She got married so what. She didn't invent the cure for cancer. Australia isn't special, deal with it.

There are worse things in the world we can be angry about.

I wouldn't say I was angry, more repulsed.

That aside what's your point? That I shouldn't have posted the comment? Hmm no I don't think so I'm entitled to critique the medias silly fawning.

She bailed on Australia to go live in another country. That’s how much she loves Australia

I hope the press doesn't harass her to death. The Ghouls.

The "our Mary" thing is pretty cringey but women my MILs age are pretty into it
