Default But will you tug the forelock to Queen Camilla?

According to the Express not please note that scurrilous biased Grauniad, the Royal Family is worth some £67,000,000,000. With several thousand food banks and no doubt more coming along is it not time perhaps that those set to rule over us broke the habit of centuries and spent their vast wealth in aiding their subjects not blessed with an accident of birth?

After all does the Queen really need a dozen castles and stately homes, 286,642 acres of land much of it grabbed by her ancestors, plus thousands of invaluable pictures and prints that are hardly ever seen?

(See you in the Tower).

It's worth checking the figures before one gripes. Would you deem yourself fit to lecture a local rich person with your demands?

Default Adulterers

So that means there will two people on the throne whom have been divorced,
committed adultery.

I wonder what Will-I-am & Harry really think of it.

Lets not forget why the queens uncle Edward VIII abdicated.

He chose to abdicate after the British government, public, and the Church of England condemned his decision to marry the American divorcée Wallis Warfield Simpson.

Seems to me that they can twist things for their own gain, as above i would respect them more if they really helped people, not just words

The whole house needs to be abolished in my opinion.

Now i have had my little rant i will withdraw and unsubscribe from this thread

Thank you Les for getting her title correct. Hopefully when the time comes she will continue to support her husband when he becomes King. I have not met her, but she gives me the impression of being a toughie and one who is interested in performing her public duties, last year she did 200.

You can keep your Royalty: but why can't they be slimmed down to be like the Netherlands or Scandinavia?

Bill Gates has committed his fortune to eliminate malaria which still kills over 200,000 people a year in central Africa and Central America. As far as I know only the Princes Trust gives small grants to young people - the rest of the Royal's immense wealth just accumulates. The comparison with Buck House is obscene when millions of Brits live in increasing poverty.

It bemuses me that so many Brits fawn and grovel to the richest family in the UK whose indecent wealth was gained through the centuries by inheritance, war, theft and careful marriage.

This is called the Platinum Year: wouldn't it be wonderful if HMQ similarly committed a large portion of her wealth to helping her many disadvantaged subjects? But it ain't gonna happen of course. If you visit the Royal Mews behind Buck House to admire the gold carriages you'll be asked if you want to complete a charity Gift Aid form. And the charity is . . . The Queen. You couldn't make it up.
