This whole royal jazz is just crazy.

The royal family sucks millions and millions of tax dollars and live high on the hog while the average Brit slogs their way through life.

Jetting off here and there. Living in palaces, catered night and day. The best of everything....and what do the royals contribute?

Not simply because of the monarchy. A socialist parliamentary government goes a long way in suppressing the peasants!

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Well, for one, they give employment to poor, uneducated, not too bright servant boys!

Are you talking about the British royals, or the American pretenders?

"The cost to maintain the royal family today is £40 million pounds per year as we mentioned before. But the revenue paid to the UK from the Royal lands is 200 million. So £200 million in revenue subtract £40 million in salary costs equals £160 million pounds in profit. That’s right: The Great Britain earns 160 million pounds in profit, every year from the Royal Family."
