Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g "Who do you think you are, the Queen?" when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).

Largely, at least in Britain, they're pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I'm of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I've spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).

Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.

Did that guy just tattoo his birthday on his chest?

Yup just checked, he was of course born in 1997.

Wow what a way to declare to the world what kind of a narcissistic asshole you are.

Charged with any crime? All the prosecution has to do is make him show that tattoo. No other evidence required.

He is a narcissistic asshole, but having your birthday tattooed doesn't mean you're guilty of any crime you're accused of.

I've only ever heard Americans describe European royalty as classy and sophisticated.

If you can prove it, I'm all ears, until then, I'll be waiting for the guy I was responding to :)
