they were born to reign over the rest of
us but they earned their snobby reps
whether it's the shoelace ironing the
pleb-funded pjs or loki participating in
human trafficking these sovereign stars
are a royal pain in the arse
the queen mother's death in 2002 was
marked by 10 days of mourning throughout
the kingdom but according to the
guardian it also sparked intense public
backlash against the royal family's
wealth and privilege uk citizens who
were struggling through a recession were
fed up with funding the opulence and
luxury that the royals reveled in i
thank you for the support you are giving
me and my family
as we come to terms with her death and
the void she has left in our midst
the daily mail reported that the queen
mother's lifestyle had been positively
overflowing with grandeur and splendor
she owned five residences and employed
over 100 staff she also reportedly kept
a dozen racehorses a seller of rare
wines and bottomless wardrobes of
designer duds she hosted lavish dinner
parties even ringing a faberge pearl
bell to summon her servants wealthy and
influential guests feasted on lobster
and chugged bottles of vintage champagne
and the so-called empress of
extravagance left a dead of over seven
million pounds when she died according
to the queen mother the official
biography elizabeth treated commoners
with an alleged sense of entitlement
that made her appear cruel condescending
and even racist two of the queen
mother's own nieces were even secretly
institutionalized for life because they
were born with learning difficulties and
the queen mum reportedly never visited
once
when margaret's sister was crowned queen
elizabeth ii in 1953 margaret had to
settle for just her royal highness
princess margaret the countess of
snowden and as fans of the crown are
well aware margaret believed she should
have been queen rather than her boring
sister but she was born second so them's
the rules i think there are many things
you're good at
name one that's actually meaningful
being a sister
no need to humor me
but margaret made the best of a bad lot
throwing her heart and soul into the
countess life according to the
washington post by the 70s she was
blowing through her annual 103 thousand
dollar taxpayer-funded expense allowance
as quickly as humanly possible she was
infamous for her jet-setting
hard-partying freeloading ways not to
mention her lavish cash splashing and
scandalous daily life she became a
tabloid fixture leading to political
grumbling about her being a quote
expensive capped woman according to town
and country the princess was also
supposedly dismissive and rude to those
she deemed to be beneath her which was
just about everyone unless of course
they were young hot guys reportedly
treating her servants like trash and
having endless over-the-top demands
margaret wasn't exactly dishing out the
mutual respect to anyone an inside
source was quoted as saying in princess
margaret a biography i have been at the
same house parties as her and her
arrogance her petulants her rudeness and
her plain bad manners were awful
king albert ii of belgium renounced his
spot on the throne in 2013. he cited
health reasons but his reign had been
riddled with controversy according to
bbc news in 1997 it was revealed that
albert had an 18-year affair resulting
in a daughter back in the 60s after the
news broke decades later delphine bowell
hoped to be acknowledged by her
biological father it was the dirty
laundry
of king albert
but albert very quickly denied fathering
any children outside of his marriage
sweeping everything under the rug he
just exploded on the telephone saying
never call me again you're not my
daughter
and that was when i was 33 years old
after bowell demanded albert be ordered
to provide a dna sample and he refused
he finally submitted to testing and was
confirmed to be her father his lawyer
said in a statement via people king
albert has decided to put an end to this
painful procedure in good conscience but
albert seemingly had no conscience
whatsoever regarding the mass genocide
committed by his ancestor bbc news
reported that king leopold ii ravaged
the congo in 1885 resulting in 10
million deaths king albert ii refused to
acknowledge the atrocity while his son
king philippe made somewhat of a
statement on the matter in 2020 albert
has since whined about barely surviving
the paltry one million euro a year
salary he was given once he left the
throne luckily at least the poor man can
find a little comfort in life the
independent noted he is seeking solace
by traveling between his three holiday
homes
it's probably not a total shock to see
prince andrew pop up on this list the
duke of york's alleged sense of
entitlement dates back decades and
seemingly knows no bounds according to
the daily mail andrew is the queen's
favorite offspring so it's no surprise
he was reportedly unbearably
self-centered even as a child he was
regularly spotted annoying the guards
and allegedly kicking dogs vanity fair
claimed that andrew's sketchy lifestyle
once he became an adult was a complete
public relations nightmare some of his
many scandals included dealings with
shady billionaire tycoons like a
convicted libyan gun smuggler who gifted
him a thirty thousand dollar gold
necklace andrew was also nicknamed air
miles andy after flying 50 miles to dine
with elite arabs costing taxpayers five
thousand dollars and that's not counting
his very friendly ties to the late
dictator momar qaddafi and dinners with
the corrupt president of kazakhstan more
recently news has broken about his cozy
friendship with late convicted sex
offender jeffrey epstein andrew has
repeatedly denied virginia dufrey's
allegations of sexual misconduct
claiming in a bbc interview that he
would cooperate with the law which he
has not prince andrew happily posing
with virginia dufrey who was then just
17. this is a real photo
as the sunday post noted in september
2021 prince andrew is an arrogant man
used to getting his own way without
having to explain himself he is an
immovable object however in dufre and
her legal team he may well have met an
irresistible force according to cnn in
february 2022 andrew ultimately settled
with jufrey for an unnamed son but still
denied any wrongdoings
king juan carlos of spain certainly
endured his share of controversy
his brother had been heir to the throne
until he was allegedly shot by juan
during a so-called prank the details
were a well-kept family secret but as
the biography juan carlos at people's
king noted juan was definitely holding
the smoking gun but while he may have
wiggled out of that one he continued to
get into trouble according to cgtn in
2004 juan was slammed for slaying
several bears during a luxury hunting
trip including one that was pregnant
then in 2012 during spain's worst ever
financial crisis juan shelled out sixty
thousand dollars to jet off for an
exotic elephant hunt the king also
entertained multiple mistresses and he
once gave 65 million euro to the
luckiest among them according to the new
yorker he also awarded a building
contract to saudi arabia in return for
an under the table cash gift of 100
million bucks as news more scandals
surfaced king won left the throne in
2014 and his successor king felipe vi
revealed he wouldn't be accepting his
dad's inheritance instead he eliminated
juan's royal allowance forced him to
leave the country and pledged to never
represent the family again
the late prince philip was the epitome
of privilege and wealth a chummy member
of the elite class and perhaps securely
out of touch with commoner life he was
infamous for his problematic jokes
according to mashable he once said
during a visit to a youth center so
who's on drugs here he looks as if he's
on drugs he also told the nigerian
president that his traditional robes
made him look quote ready for bed and
then there was the time he remarked i
don't think a prostitute is more moral
than a wife but they are doing the same
thing
but it was a 2019 car crash that many
felt really displayed phillips arrogance
the then 97 year old pulled into
oncoming traffic causing a car carrying
two adults and a baby to hit him and
flip his suv philip escaped without
injury but the other car's passenger
broke a wrist and was out of work for
two months according to the new york
times philip didn't apologize until four
days later via written letter but he was
seen the following day driving a brand
new land rover without wearing his seat
belt the mirror noted prince philip
needs to stop behaving like an arrogant
self regarding ours
christina is the sister of the reigning
spanish king felipe vi but she and her
husband former olympic handball player
inyaki or dangrin are responsible for
one of the biggest scandals to rock the
spanish monarchy according to the
guardian when king huang ceded the
throne to felipe it was revealed that
our dangaran and his daughter were at
the center of a vast financial scandal
according to el pais he had reportedly
leveraged his status to win government
contracts and carry out shady deals then
siphoned the money into offshore
accounts urdangren was ultimately
sentenced to five years for tax fraud
and embezzlement at the time princess
christina was on the board of the noose
institute where her husband was the
director and the non-profit organization
was used to launder nearly 6 million
euros from public funding according to
forbes christina also faced charges of
tax fraud king juan insisted his
daughter wouldn't be treated differently
because of her noble status but she
walked away scot-free except for losing
her title as duchess of parma and being
banned from royal events as us weekly
reported the couple divorced in january
2022 after 24 years of marriage
princess michael of kent was once
baroness marie christie before achieving
her current title and she quickly became
known as pushy princess and rent a
princess because she would reportedly do
anything for money as ranker noted
mostly she's infamous for her haughty
behavior and less than sensitive trash
talk because of royal family rules the
baroness wasn't allowed to add princess
to her birth name when she got married
so she took hubby prince michael's full
name allowing her to formally be titled
princess but more seriously the
controversial royal has been accused of
racism multiple times according to
vanity fair she named her two black
sheep serena and venus and when she
first met meghan markle she wore a black
amore approach a reported symbol of the
celebration of slavery as part of an
interview with the guardian princess
michael insisted she wasn't racist
adding i even pretended years ago to be
an african a half-caste african but
because of my light eyes i didn't get
away with it but i dyed my hair black
then there's the fact her father was a
nazi in an ss major as the daily mail
reported the princess adamantly denied
any knowledge of her father's past but
in the documentary princess michael the
controversial royal experts branded her
claims as being bogus
princess anne married then-acting
captain mark phillips in november 1973
and for a while it seemed like a
fairytale romance they had two children
and lived on a palatial estate given to
anne by her mom but while the outspoken
hardworking anne was one of the most
popular royals mark phillips not so much
and what he lacked in approval he more
than made up for in an ever-expanding
ego according to the biography princess
anne mark suffered from a short temper
when tired and found official visits
tiring and hard standing around for
hours according to town and country
cracks soon started to appear in the
marriage with rumors of infidelity on
both sides they divorced in 1992
following a report claiming phillips had
fathered a child outside of their
marriage and remarried just months later
phillips remarried in 1997 but that
ended after 15 years due to his
philandering in 2016 phillips finally
confessed to having an affair with
someone 30 years his junior but as he
arrogantly noted the daily mail i'm not
out to win a popularity contest
prince harry went from winning the
public's hearts as he and the world
mourned princess diana's death in 1997
to becoming the second least popular
royal by 2021 according to yougov harry
came in second place with meghan markle
right behind drum roll please prince
andrew we focused all of our energies
just on nurturing our relationship with
us on us
harry and megan lost all the love from
fans for expecting the public to pay for
their post-mexic security as piers
morgan told the daily mail i've seen
some disgraceful royal antics in my time
but for pure arrogance entitlement greed
and willful disrespect nothing has ever
quite matched the behavior of the duke
and duchess of sussex their popularity
dropped even further following their
oprah interview which led to morgan
again ripping the couple for being total
narcissists in another furious daily
mail rant harry and megan also came
under fire for a statement that appeared
on their archwell foundation site they
claimed the controversial august 2021
u.s withdrawal from afghanistan where
years earlier harry had served two
front-line tours left them personally
heard and they announced they were
supporting vaccine equity to help stop
the spread of covet 19. regarding all of
that royal biographer angela levin told
the us sun it's so grandiose and
patronizing this is another example of
them telling us what to do we mustn't
fly we mustn't have more than two
children we must be compassionate and
they're the least compassionate people
you can imagine
sarah ferguson was hounded by the press
from the moment she snared randy andy
aka prince andrew nicknamed fergie she
was constantly criticized for her
fluctuating weight opening the door for
tabloids to call her the duchess of pork
she later admitted on the gemma and emma
podcast that the bullying had destroyed
her it is very cruel and very painful
still ferguson did little to ingratiate
herself with the public or the royals
and according to express she encountered
queen elizabeth's wrath before even
marrying andrew the queen was allegedly
horrified by ferguson's raucous
bachelorette night antics which a source
described as bottles of champagne being
fired in every direction but things went
downhill from there there were topless
photos of fergie having her toes sucked
by a millionaire on a yacht she used her
royal connections to land a 3 million
weight watchers spokesperson contract
she also made an awkward docu-reality
show and despite not being invited to
prince william and kate's wedding she
managed to warm herself in anyway worst
of all though was when she was caught in
a tabloid sting according to the
guardian fergie was secretly filmed
negotiating to sell ex-husband prince
andrew's endorsement in return for five
hundred thousand pounds
in 2021 friedrich the crown prince of
denmark allegedly exiled his brother
prince joachim and his wife to france
according to the daily beast when the
outcast couple first relocated to
denmark frederick apparently felt they
were threatening his sovereignty by
muscling in on his territory as hello
reported frederick was so enraged that
he ordered his brother to be excluded
from family christmas but in frederick's
defense his bro's past actions had
outlets like the local claiming he's a
man who makes the uk's prince andrew
look positively likeable but it appears
that the cray seems to run in the danish
noble blood frederick's dad henrik the
late prince consort of denmark once went
on a rant about his wife queen margeyta
ii saying he'd never be laid to rest
next to her in the royal cemetery he
told a tabloid my wife does not give me
the respect a normal wife must give her
spouse it is her that is making a fool
of me i didn't marry the queen to be
buried at roskilda for the record
henrikh was buried in freddensborg in
2018.
king edward viii infamously renounced
the throne in 1936 to marry u.s born
two-time divorcee wallace simpson his
abdication forced his shy unwilling
younger brother george to become king
george vi his wife elizabeth later best
known as queen mother reportedly knew
exactly who to blame for destroying
their lives the guardian noted elizabeth
always blamed wallace simpson for
george's death believing that if her
husband had not had to be king he might
not have died so young as if that wasn't
enough of a scandal in itself edward was
involved in numerous others over the
years according to king edward viii a
biography he was monumentally indiscreet
politically shallow and surprisingly
avaricious he was also apparently racist
classist and a nazi sympathizer but it
was the jet setting and money grabbing
of his post-throne life that really
showcased his bad side according to the
daily mail king george vi secretary's
diaries were released in 2006 and they
didn't portray big brother edward in the
best light apparently edward was rich as
hell and placed money above all else and
still he and his wife complained about
not having enough i don't much care for
fussy things or smells but
i do like a good well-milled soap
as the diaries author suggested so
isolated was he in the world of his own
desires that i do not think he ever felt
affection absolute objective affection
for any living being
when it comes to the worst of the worst
prince charles just might nab the number
one spot as the daily beast noted in
2021 you might think that andrew is
delivering an unparalleled masterclass
in arrogance that however would be to
disregard the performance of his brother
prince charles the outlet cited his
involvement in a so-called cash for
honors scheme charles denied the claim
despite awarding a commander of the
order of the british empire meddled to a
saudi billionaire who had made a huge
donation to chuck's estate as noted in
prince charles the passions and
paradoxes of an improbable life he is a
preening snob keenly sensitive to
violations of protocol intolerant of
opinions contrary to his own and
horribly misled about the extent of his
own talents he also allegedly flies
private with a reported white leather
toilet seat in tow according to the
guardian charles lavish lifestyle is
allegedly so over the top it would shock
louis xiv and even his mom thinks he's
too much my old aston martin champion
for 51 years that runs on can you
believe this surplus english white wine
at one point charles allegedly employed
85 staff four valets picked up his
clothes from the floor and helped him
get dressed and there was another to put
toothpaste on his toothbrush and then
one specifically to handle his urine
samples according to the express charles
has reportedly also insisted on someone
ironing his shoelaces every morning
because if they're lucky one day they'll
be ironing the king of england's
shoelaces
