You know…maybe…just maybe…when you’re dealing with a country that’s the size of some states in the United States, that’s facing positively crippling economic conditions and staggering unemployment that’s still rising, it may not be the time to hop a plane for the Swiss Alps to celebrate Easter week with your girlfriend to the tune of about sixty grand.
Meanwhile, Prince “Let Them Eat Cake” William sees no significant problem with this.
Since dad Prince Charles’ back has been acting up, he was planning to cancel the family’s annual ski trip to the Alps, but William the Terrible was having none of it, instead opting to go himself and bring along girlfriend Kate Middleton. Check out the accommodations:
The space he is likely renting can accommodate 12 guests, boasts a steam shower and a massage room, and comes with a chalet manager, a housekeeper, two chauffeurs and two butlers.
The trip will cost roughly fifty-five thousand dollars for the week, and no, he will NOT be bringing along recently unemployed and homeless Brits to take up the remaining ten spaces not occupied by himself and his girlfriend. He will be instead inviting FRIENDS to join him.
Prince Charles, meanwhile, can hear the ghosts of kings past telling him that this is a SPECTACULARLY stupid idea, and said, possibly while scratching a phantom itch around where his head meets his shoulders:
“He also really worries that people will start criticising him for taking too many jollies and notching up a big carbon footprint.”
Not surprising, Chuck–now to give William a quick history lesson about what happens to monarchs who partied on tax dollars whilst the peasantry starved. The pic above should help.
