Yeah, the brother of a commoner married to a prince isn't royalty. Fucking polacks. :rolleyes:

And if Marty is right they can safely have it revert back to the crown later on.
WTF is this crap. If we are to look at a sibling of the Future Queen, we're looking at Pippa.

Yes, because gay people never have children, adopted or otherwise. :rolleyes:
Pippa means "Cunt" in Polish and James looks much hotter:

Um Marty you can only pass on a hereditary title through a legitimate blood heir. Are you suggesting he is going to enter into a heterosexual marriage and produce kids as a gay guy in 21st century England?

Minor title NE royalty.
Regardless, as it hasn't happened yet, the point is moot.

It's a moot point anyway most of the title giving today are not passed.
Incidentally, "Pippa" is Swedish slang for "Fuck". :hmm:

They are scrapping the House of Lords soon anyway, and most life peers don't go into House of Lords anymore anyway, so unlikely. He will probably be made Viscount of Somesuch.
Hope he doesn't end up like George Boleyn. :ph34r:

Yes. Most of them.
Apart from anything else there are not enough seats in the chamber for all the peers to sit.

Not sure I really see the difference. Things may be changing (slowly) but back when he started his career, being openly gay would spell the end of his career, both in terms of homophobia from fellow players and lack of sponsors/endorsements - how is that different from a red state politician?
Besides, it's not like he married just any beard - he married Posh Spice. For both of them this was a career/"power couple" move - so it could have just been a pact.
If you have to ask why sport celebrities choose to stay in the closet, ask yourself why people in the entertainment industry (arguably, the most gay-friendly industry) have to - from NPH or Ricky Martin who stayed in the closet for a long time, to Tom Cruise or John Travolta who are still there.

Red state politicians get married so they can parade their wife and kids to show how family values they are. Sports stars do not need to do that.

As I said, in his case it's more of a mutual benefit pact - both him and Posh parade each other, which raises their mutual profile.
