People are surprised monarchs are rapists. Centuries of inbreeding do not produce healthy minds.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

Dude looks like the personification if fetal alcohol syndrome.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 points 50 minutes ago

We call him Temu-Joffrey in Norway.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I was wondering what is Eddie Harrigan up to before season 2!

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 30 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It’s always the ones you suspected the most.

[–] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

He looks like that one jerkface kid Eddie from MobLand.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

I know nothing about this guy aside from this headline but that checks out.

A monarchist abusing his position of power.

Who. Would've. Thunk.

[–] vortexsurfer@lemmy.world 51 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

To be fair, he doesn't have a title or any official position of power. His mother already had him when she met and later married the crown prince of Norway. But everyone in Norway knows who he is and he's definitely very privileged, so he may have abused that fact..

[–] Bigfishbest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn't be in the line of succession?

[–] Lhianna@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

Not at all, no. He's not part of the royal family.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 43 points 10 hours ago

It's always the ones you most expect...

[–] Philamand@lemmy.ml 45 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

What an absolute piece of shit, I hope his "rank" doesn't stop him from going to jail...

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

I hope it does. I'm trying to marry into royalty so I can have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Like eat pancakes for dinner. Or eat pancakes for lunch. Or have a second helping of pancakes for breakfast. Really, just more pancakes.

Judge:

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago

Can monarchies die already

[–] moe93@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Basically irl Joffrey Baratheon

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Guillotines bruh. For all royalty, including those elected.

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 53 points 9 hours ago

Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not "punching up". His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.

Just poke at his personality or actions. There's plenty there.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Dude fuckin looks like Eddie from Mobland.

Acts like it too, apparently.
