The Royal Fanzine

You think because they are "royal" they don't go shopping (why do that when you can call your personal shopper?), do chores (You know, like take out the garbage, do laundry, that sort of thing, Isn't that what the house staff is for anyway?) for themselves, etc, right? Wrong! Here's a list of what they do that we "normal people" do: They: Do their own  grocery shopping ( Great Britain ) Get married  (2011 Weddings:  Great Britain , Italy/Germany ,  Germany/Denmark ,  Monaco ,  Great Britain ,  Germany  , Butan )  Have children (2011 Births: Denmark ) Register their children for school ( Monaco ) Take their children to school ( Spain ) Dine at fast food restaurants like McDonald's ( Monaco ) Go shopping with their non-royal siblings ( Denmark ) Run out to the store before closing to pick up a few things, waiting in line, and using coupons and a rewards card.( Great Britian ) Have pets ( see the Royal Galleria o...
