I know a lot of people! And just about everyone I know, has their own family squabbles.
None of which would air their dirty laundry on NATIONAL TV or to SENSATIONALIST NEWS SOURCES.
So, this was a Brain Fart by the Royal Couple!
In a couple of weeks this will be all forgotten as I don't think the family feud will last!

Probably 'Anglo-Saxon' is the word you're looking for.
'WASP' was a common phrase used years ago. (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant)
"The Angles, Saxons, and the Jutes were the three main powerful Germanic tribes who invaded Britain in the 5th century and formed Anglo-Saxon England."

Over here our former presidents are thankful to be out of the goldfish bowl and back into life as private citizens. I simply cannot imagine spending one's whole LIFE as a Royal, always on show. How carefully you have to present yourself in public, how carefully you have to speak publicly... 24/7/365. No thanks!

So over the past five years, the "Patriots" of the GQP have come out in support of:
Russia
North Korea
Nazis
Confederates
The Royal Family
And the people they have attacked are:
Black voters
The FBI
Meghan Markle
Doctors
Teachers

No you would not understand. You have no conception of the real meaning of duty , obligation and self - sacrifice, let alone why a person would willingly devote their entire lives to honouring these moral principles in the service of others. It demands great self-discipline, strength of character and nobility of spirit.For 70 years, he Queen and Prince Phillip have always "been there" for the British people throughout the best and worst of times; serving the people, rallying the people; always steadfast and strong - never losing their composure, grace or dignity. That is why the Royals are so beloved by the people of England. The English public are absolutely livid at the way Megan Markle insulted the Queen, and they will never forget or forgive. Nor will I. I can sum Megan Markle up in one word - "Low-life."

Churchill was a lot like Trump in that he had quite a few uncouth habits: for example he drank to excess, he was often very blunt to the point of being rude, he could lose his temper easily, he swore a lot. But the little shit didn't matter. Because he rallied England against the Nazis in 1940 when everything seemed lost, he won the Battle of Britain in the skies against tremendous odds, he stood firm throughout the London Blitz and gave the people the moral courage they needed to struggle through.
I don't give a toss if Trump is vulgar and has a Queens' accent and if he bullies people (they're probably dickheads who needed it,) I don't care if he "grabs pussies" or indulges in locker room humour, I don'r care if he's not politically correct, or if he screwed Stormy Daniels. When it came to the important big picture stuff, as a President, he delivered a hell of a lot of big wins for America. And that's all that matters - that's the bottom line" - if your'e a POTUS.

The Queens job is a bit busy as she has over 70,000 appointments in a single year! That is why she needs all of those princes, and princesses, dukes and duchesses help with this. I know this sound crazy, but that is what I read somewhere.
NO WONDER NO ONE WANTS THAT JOB!

Actually Churchill was a lot smarter, much better informed, and didn't lie all the time. But the point is he was a Member of Parliament for forty years, first as a Conservative, then a Liberal, then a Conservative again, before he became PM. In that time people get to see what you're made of.
Trump held no elected office - not so much as county dogcatcher - until 2017 when he suddenly became POTUS and the most powerful man in the world. That's one of the differences beteen British and American politics. Trump could never have happened in the UK.
Added: Churchill also saw military service on the NW frontier in India, the Sudan war against the Mahdi, and South Africa. I think we can assume he didn't have bone spurs.
