Rose, I apologize for pocking fun at your Royalty. I know they still hold a special place in your heart, especially that place where UK'ers pay billions of dollars to support the royal family each year.
You are so right. I miss paying for their fancy houses and fancy cars and 'social' engagements.
I miss paying for all that fine jewelry that I will never get a chance to wear.
All those luxury vacations that I never got a chance to go on.
Yep, I miss paying taxes out of hard earned money to support the Royals. They are SO worth it. : (
Max, now you stop that pocking. You can only do that in private.
The Royal family are net earners for the UK economy. The figures clearly show that they generate 9 times in tourism what they cost to run. A very good deal for all involved whilst providing the UK with the ability to separate our titular head of state from the messy business of politics.
