Wow.
Oh, the stupid. It burns.
I post to The Royal Forums. My favorite MB of all! It's really great- lots of people, who like royalty, just getting together to chitchat about how awesome Crown Princess Victoria's new hat looks, what Prince William has been up to, and what King Harald did yesterday. It's a pretty tight-knit group and we have a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, we do get our share of retards. Like this one girl, destiny [her username]. I mention her because she is particularly annoying.
Oi. Okay. First of all, she joins the boards in June. Not unusual, we get people joining all the time. However, her first message is [and I leave the spelling and formatting as she wrote it]:
"Hello,
Everyone I am new on this board,but I must say I am very excited!!!. I have been reading a lot before I decided to join. And I just love what I have seen and read. I have a question. Does anyone have a picture of Maria Teresa's wedding ring?"
Fine. An intro post. And OMG, she sort of stayed on topic, but not really. This was posted in a thread about Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, and she's asking about Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa. If you want to ask a question about the Grand Duchess, please do so in the thread about her and the Grand Duke. Argh.
Next post, STILL in the thread about HGD Guillaume:
"hello anyone?.
I said I was new hear and no one welcomed me"
So out with obligatory welcomes. Everyone's like, oh, hi, welcome to the boards. Well, not everyone, more like two people [the rest of us are fluffing our feathers :]
Next post, same thread, but at least she managed to actually stay on topic:
"Thankyou so much guys, now I feel like one of the gang.
I would like to add that I am a BIG fan of CP Guillaume.I think he is going to be, and already is a shining example of what true royalty is all about. One thing I really like about him, is that his life style doesnot sell tabloids and he seems to be very private about his personal life. As I find him to be similar to the princes of Liechtenstein,the family is so private there's hardly anything about them to read."
Wow, okay, so you like Guillaume. We all do. Duh. That's why we post here! I can't really fault her for this post, though, because this is actually appropriate.
So then she starts a new thread, entitled "The Next Crown Princess of Luxembourg". And she writes:
"I was just thinking, after stumbling across an old article someone posted sometime ago. The new group of crown princesses are very "COMMON" not in the sense of being commers,but with their attitudes, backgrounds and the way they persuade their husbands. It made me realize that now more than ever before, it is possible for ANYONE TO BECOME ROYALTY OR NOBILITY.
It All boils down to royal connections. In other words who you know in high society in order to get your foot in the door. I am sure some like CP Mary of Denmark may rebut this statement by saying it was her destiny, but I think not!.
After reading for such a long period of time the ways in which many of these crown princesses meet their prince I am POSITIVE that anyone of us on this board could also pull this off,and become the next Crown Princess of Luxembourg.
For some of them who are honest they have already admitted it,but for others who choose to lay about it, the media has done its job in discovering,that most if not all, were introduced to these princes by someone they knew!.
It takes a women who is street smart, aggressive and persistant and also at the same time shy for the stake of the media, not to look like she was an opportunist, when the bottom line is, that is what's its all about .
For example some of them would say I just happened to attend a dinner party when he was their also when they knew way in advance this prince was going to be there,because someone told them, and that is the reason they decided to come. It has nothing to do with Destiny or Faith . It's all about making YOUR OWN DESTINY HAPPEN. AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MOST OF THEM DID. I would really like to hear your opinions"
If you can get through that post without wanting to jab yourself in the eyes with a fork, bravo. It's sickening. If you didn't want to read it, basically what she's saying it that all the new Crown Princesses [like Mary of Denmark, Maxima of the Netherlands, Letizia of Spain, etc.] are all opportunists who aggressively chased down their husbands like they were running after wildlife and snared them with bloody claws.
First of all, all this is completely untrue. I'm not going into the backgrounds about each couple's meetings, but I can certainly tell you that, for example, W-A and Maxima meeting was a complete fluke. Not destiny, perhaps, they met at a party, but she didn't go BECAUSE he was going to be there! She went because some friends were there. In fact, when W-A called her in New York she didn't even remember what he looked like. Same with Mary and Frederik, with Mathilde and Philippe.
Secondly, she mentioned NOTHING in her post about HGD Guillaume. Why the folk she posted it in the forum for the Grand Dukes I don't understand- she should have posted it in Royal Chit-Chat or something.
Thirdly, I found this entire post to be presumptuous and bossy, not to mention idiotic. No one knows who the next Hereditary Grand Duchess [Luxembourg does not have the title of Crown Prince or Crown Princess] is going to be. That is Guillaume's perogative, right?
Okay. Some people reply. I replied, basically telling her in the nicest terms possible that she's a fricking idiot if she honestly thinks that is what happened, and explained how each couple met. Here's what she wrote [and I'm pretty sure it was directed at me]:
"I am glad to hear some of your replys. I am not saying there is anything wrong with going after your dream of being a princess.
But the point, i wanted to make is that they did it "the crown princesses".
all went after their prince.
No one, can say for certain that all if not some of them knew who these men were .After all it would seem a kind of forward to say " I knew who he was that is the reason why I presuade him".
Also, if I may add Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg recently admitted in a Pt Du Vue interview that she knew from the very begining who Henri was because they were introduced by a family friend. Therefore, the story of them meeting at university was a lie."
Ugh. Her last part is wrong. Maria-Teresa WAS introduced to Henri by a family friend WHILE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA. So, kids, huh? THEY MET AT UNIVERSITY. Unless I just fell off the turnip truck.
Following up on that, here's a post that made me retch:
"alright, I am glad some of you agree with me. Life is not about fairy tales its about making what you want happen. Off course the media, paints a picture of a cinderella story, for us commoners to keep on dreaming of the royal life.
When in fact as I stated before many of these ladies were already fore warned that these men were going to be there. So, it has nothing to do with "coincidence" or being in th right place at the right time.
They were in the right place at the right time,because someone told them to be there.
Now, for the poster who said non of us may never become the next crown princess, speak for yourself. Just watch, how baby girl makes her DESTINY FULLFILL"
That last part. Baby girl? Ugh, please! Spare me! Do you HONESTLY think that you are going to be Guillaume's wife? It sure sounds like it. Now, I expect this with Prince William's idiotic fangirls, but not Guillaume's. You sickening moron, I'd like to kill you. And, she is AGAIN saying that I'm wrong, how all the CPsses KNEW that the CPs would be at these parties and went BECAUSE they would be there. THAT IS NOT ACCURATE. STOP SAYING THAT.
So this stupid thread went back and forth, with me trying to grit my teeth and be as nice as possible and answer her dumbwad questions [and oh, she asked me a TON of questions and even asked if I could have another girl, who I don't know, type out an article from PdV], until finally an administrator stepped in.
God bless Alexandria, this is what she wrote:
"Let's try to stick with reality here ...
If you have ideas on what qualities would be suitable for the future Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (she would not be called Crown Princess as that is not a title in the Grand Ducal family), or whether it's fate or destiny, being in the right place at the right time or setting up your own meeting with Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume then discuss that.
But as declaring yourself the next Hereditary Grand Duchess is a bit much, and as it's not tolerated in other forums, it won't be tolerated here either.

Thank you! I wanted to say something to that effect so badly but I can't without starting an argument. Anyway, I think that pretty much ticked destiny right off because she sure didn't post anymore and abandoned that thread.
She made a few more idiotic posts until we got to the posts about Prince Felix and the rumor going around that he fathered a baby out of wedlock. She freaked out and posted for the administrator to "Please email Drimal" [Drimal is an awesome guy who lives in Luxembourg, and we are lucky enough to have post in our forums. He's a great source of info on the Grand Ducal family].
Alexandria fired right back that NO ONE on the administrative team would be emailing Drimal for comment. If he wished to comment on the situation he is free to come and post on his own, it is not an administrator's job to force people to comment on the situation.
She [destiny] got rather upset and told Alexandria that she [Alexandria] is too bossy and unpolite and unprofessional, and that she takes everything out of context.
Okay, that made me mad. Alexandria is a great administrator and support source for when you need help on the boards, and [IMO] she was being way too polite in telling destiny off [I would have banned her, if that were me]. So I asked destiny, if Alexandria doesn't "own" the posters, how could you possibly expect her to force someone to comment on a situation?
She [destiny] again got upset, stating the following:
"Administrator,
If You Have Something To Say To Me .post It. Donot Email Me .
Secondly, I Didnot Demand Her To Do Anything. If Someone Ask You A Question. It Is Up To You To Intrepret It The Way You See Fit.
From The First Day I Posted On This Board I Have Getting Emails From This Administrator Telling Me What To Do And What Not To Do. She Might Own You'll But Not Me. I Find Her To Be Very Immature And Highly Unprofessional..
Futhermore, I Would Like Her To Delete My Name And Information From Her Forum, I Will Not Be Writing This Board Anymore."
That "secondly" is for my benefit. HA. Furthermore, the amdinistrators PM [private message] you if you do something inappropriate, rather than post it and clog up the thread that is supposed to be about ROYALTY anyway. They have PMed me several times [usually about my signature being too long, heh].
Fine. Bye, idiot. Glad I won't be seeing you anymore!
Although, that was at 12:26 PM, it's now 2:30 PM and her username is still logged on. Hope she gets banned.
And that, kids, is Kara's drama for the day. Sigh.
