Call me too far gone to the point of no return
Today I stumbled upon something: I accidentally read in an news article that "Never complain, never explain" is a public relations strategy that has been become particularly associated with the British royal family, whereas I just knew it as Morrissey's motto (he said it at the concert I was for example and that he lives by it). I recall that it was mentioned on here from other users too, as his motto. I was confused to read that it is first and foremost associated with the Royal Family. I'm obviously not British so can somebody explain if the Royal Family is indeed the first thing that comes to mind if somebody uses this phrase or if it's also used in other contexts. I mean, if it is primarily associated with the Royals, then why does Morrissey use it and nobody called him out for that, do I remember it wrong or did he obviously meant it as a joke? I always thought it was sincere, since he indeed seems to live by it, lol.
