Morrissey Slams Royals and Middletons in Most Recent Blog Post

The former frontman for the Smiths, Morrissey, has yet again slammed the Royal family and also took a shot at Pippa Middleton in his blog over the weekend. As reported by E! News, he wrote:

“Similarly, on October 5, the Daily Mail newspaper gave us all an ‘amusing’ report of thickwit Pippa Middleton laughing as she stood over 50 birds shot dead by her friends and herself after a ‘busy day’s shooting…

“We are reminded by the Daily Mail that Middleton is a ‘socialite’, which tells us that she is privileged and can more-or-less kill whatever she likes—and, therefore she does. The sick face of modern Britain, Pippa Middleton will kill deer, boar, birds—any animal struggling to live, or that gets in her socialite way.

“This is because her sister is, of course, Kate, who herself became ‘royal’ simply by answering the telephone at the right time, and this association allows Pippa’s kill, kill, kill mentality to be smilingly endorsed by the British print media, to which only the mentally deficient could join in with the laughter.”

And he went on to say:

“Speech is a question of rhythm, and even this the Queen has failed to master in her very lengthy lifetime of being unable to address a nation without auto-cue. Is she incapable of speaking directly from the heart? That the future of the monarchy rests on the natural idiocy of Harry, zombified William and airhead Kate, is quite frightening. We, the British public, are trapped.”

Prince William paid a visit to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in London to endorse the Give Something Back campaign; a campaign that focuses on encouraging children to aspire for careers in the industry. Meeting with the three winners of the BAFTA Young Game Designers competition, Prince William called himself an “enthusiastic but useless” gamer and went on to say about the new Playstation 4, “It’s addictive…I’d like to get one but I’m not sure how my wife would feel about it.”

According to E! News, a slice of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding cake was auctioned off by Julien’s Auctions for a whopping $4,160! The eight-tier traditional spiced fruit cake was created by pastry chef Fiona Cairns and included raisins, walnuts, cherries, lemon, cherries, grated orange, and French Brandy. As is customary, the Cambridges served the top tier following Prince George’s christening. As Cairns told Hello!, “We were always told that the cake would be saved for the future so we did assume [it would be served for their firstborn child’s christening]…It’s always been a tradition and that’s why the cake was fruitcake, because after 30 months, it’s even more delicious.”
