Your rang, Maam?

Pretty much a paid slave, your job is to kiss ass all day long. No thanks.

Almost like being a junior officer in the military.

Since the early days of royalty, say back to recent history, 900 AD, royal personages have always had servants. Even in the America's, before the Spaniards sailed in and spoiled things, the Incas had servants, and the native Americans, with large numbers of people in the American Indian nations most probably had servants.

But as someone has already stated, being paid to work in the royal household wouldn't appeal to me. The job vacancy in the advertisement was as a trainee, to serve meals, clean, and to be taught in a military style how to do things properly, in an approved manner. They must be able to speak English, have a civil tongue in their head, and be discreet and not run off to a newspaper with tittle tattle about what goes on in the varous palaces, and speak only when spoken to, as befits a servant.

Unfortunately for people who worked as servants during Victorian and Edwardian times, it was nothing like Upstairs and Downstairs. Eighteen hour days, Sunday afternoon off to go to church with poor pay like £4 a year. Nowadays we have the five million unemployed living on state benefits from the day they're born, until one day they'll die, they will never have jobs because there won't be any, and anyway some of them are too useless to keep a job

My dog does that.

Your dog calls you Stuart?

15k pounds a year? super weak.

Yes, but you'd get to sleep in the broom closet. Kinda evens it out.

Can you say what your typical fellow countryman thinks of Royalty? For some reason they are celebs here with the tabloid crowd.
