Meeting Royalty in Europe

Reid muttered....

Following up to Robert


Could've been a contender, instead of a bum. Now I am condemned to
sitting in front of my computer, thinking of what could have been.

That's right, up till now. But each moment is new one and you can
always change.

ROFL, well done, both of you.

"Important" Europeans I have met.....(a long time ago, and my life
unchanged by the introductions)

Prince Philip (the Auld Queen's husband) - came aboard ship, wandered
about, spoke little and not much of a smile, but did exhibit firm handshake
in greeting junior officers.

Mussolini's Son - Now, there's a few degrees of separation.

Gina Lollabrigida (sp?) - better looking than you could possibly conceive
(at least back then).

Why would anyone care whether you have a royal friend or not?

I can tell you for a fact that there are some very rich people in this
world who don't look or act like it.

In that case, why does it matter?

Well, that person you said that to may have been someone
who may have allowed you to travel around Europe in total
luxury for the rest of your life. But now you sit at
your computer wishing you could afford even budget travel.

It's not my habit to live as a parasite off others, so I'd probably be
sitting in front of my computer in any case.

True story: I almost hung up on a billionaire because he
sounded like he was from a lower class - he was! but built
many successful companies and was a billionaire.

Billionaires and royals ... you seem to have a lot of unusual luck in
your encounters with others.

I have learned. Yes I have learned. And so should you.

So that one can live off the wealth of others? Is that really such a
good thing?

My royal friend, her family and friends have impeccable manners and my
guess is that most royals do.

If you were rich and polite, would these friends profit from you as you
imply it is possible to profit from them?

Sometime you'll be in the hotel or wherever and you'll meet someone.
That someone might be royalty.

Wow.

Just go about your business in a positive manner expecting
someday that you will meet meet royalty. You people got lucky
without any effort - because through me you have come one
step to actually meeting royalty. Heck, I have her email address. I
could call up her Queen Mother right now if I wanted to (but I
wouldn't). That's my method. Worked for me. Let me know if it works
for you.

I could never countenance taking advantage of others in that way, no
matter how wealthy or royal they might be. And I should hope that my
friends would never talk about me as though I were an expensive car,
either.

Your responses are so way off. People in this group cared that I had a
royal friend and wanted more information. Why? Royals are interesting
to many people. Maybe not too you.

I have never profited financially from my princess friend. I profitted
from my billionaire friend because I introduced him to another
business owner and received a commission. In any case I said it wasn't
about the money. It was about treating all people with respect.
By the way you get lucky meeting billionaires when you get in the
game. In this case the game was the sale of used office furniture,
believe it or not. I called an ad advertising large lots of office
furniture. I knew another dealer and thought I could broker the deal.
I was put right through to the billionaire. He was building an office
supply company.

ISTM the British royals who
get the most coverage in the UK press are Prince William (young,
good-looking, glamorous, rich)


Alas, he is no longer so handsome: he seems to be turning into Princess
Anne, as a previous poster wrote.

My friend, they were handing you rope.

sorry Mixi, posted on the end of the wrong message there.

I never communicate with billionaires by phone, anyway.


Ah. But maybe you do & you don't know it....

Some of the rudest, most self centered people I have ever met have been
the very rich (particulary the ones who inherited thier money). They are
the ones who hold disdain for people not of thier "class". They are the
ones who treat everyone else like thier servants. And even worse were
those individuals who weren't rich but trying deperately to fit in the
jet set circles.

I have met royals and very rich people. Some I liked, some I didn't.
Some liked me, some didn't. Contrary to thier own belief, they are people
like everyone else.

Now I'm sure you and your friend are very nice. I'm not saying that
others where not rude to you in another post, but I think your lesson in
manners is misplaced.

Just my opinion.

It's strange how my posting on safety in Europe turned into a debate
of whether or not I have a royal friend. Some of you may not have seen
my last post so I'll say it again below. The disrepectful tone, where
given, is for those disrespectful to me through the postings. This is
also a formula for meeting royalty but you can use it for attracting
just about anything:

There was no risk in you believing that I have a royal friend. In fact
if you became my friend (after seeing your nasty postings to me this
is unlikely)I might have introduced you. You actually could have been
flying to Monaco (land in Nice) on the royal plane for a week of
massages and relaxation. You have to have an open mind and sincere
manners when it comes to all people. That's how I met my princess
friend. Mick Jagger met Kieth Richards on a train platform. What would
have happened if Mick told Kieth he was a moron and to "go away"?

I can tell you for a fact that there are some very rich people in this
world who don't look or act like it. Some look like tramps. You should
give everyone respect if respect is given to you in any case. But
sometime in your life you may have run into someone, quickly judged
them and made some sarcastic remark. Well, that person you said that
to may have been someone who may have allowed you to travel around
Europe in total luxury for the rest of your life. But now you sit at
your computer wishing you could afford even budget travel. I'm not
saying be nice to everyone and sooner or later someone will give you a
fortune (but it does happen - fact). I'm just saying to treat all
people with sincere respect regardless if you you don't like the way
they look, sound or say. True story: I almost hung up on a billionaire
because he sounded like he was from a lower class - he was! but built
many successful companies and was a billionaire. I have learned. Yes I
have learned. And so should you. So shut up and read the formula:

My royal friend, her family and friends have impeccable manners and my
guess is that most royals do. You're much more likely to attract good
people with good manners. Then the absolute belief (this is critical -
be respecful toward me and this idea) that you will meet royalty.
Sometime you'll be in the hotel or wherever and you'll meet someone.
That someone might be royalty. Do not force your future. Do not show
up at the palace uninvited. Just go about your business in a positive
manner expecting someday that you will meet meet royalty. You people
got lucky without any effort - because through me you have come one
step to actually meeting royalty. Heck, I have her email address. I
could call up her Queen Mother right now if I wanted to (but I
wouldn't). That's my method. Worked for me. Let me know if it works
for you.

I have to say the royals serve very nice cakes and ice cream.

Are you expected to dress up to go to their parties? If so, what
happens if you don't?

I think not. I believe I recognize a pattern. Were you born under Leo,
by chance?

By the way you get lucky meeting billionaires when you get in the
game.

So why is it lucky to meet billionaires ... if you do not profit from
them?
