“I’d settle for living in that palace as my private residence.........”
Me too.
By the way, The Swedish Royal Family disposes of another 11 palaces in the Stockholm area - and that’s just the Stockholm region. They also own a lot of other palaces and other residences in Sweden and elsewhere around the globe.
Few people in Sweden complain about financing this lifestyle of theirs through their taxes, despite the fact that Sweden is a very egalitarian, ‘Socialist’ culture.
Most Swedes would find it much more annoying if their neighbor would buy a more expensive Volvo than they themselves could afford..
Wow, that’s a lot of palaces..... and the taxpayers still pay for them all? I would not have expected that in this era....
Was Descartes in one of these palaces when he died? I recall that he died in Stockholm when staying there to tutor the Queen, supposedly because he contracted pneumonia in an unheated palace?? Or maybe that was just an old wives’ tale......
Most people I know doesn't’t mind paying taxes to our dear sweet king since it’s quite low (something like 1$ per year per person). And we get so much value for it!
The guy is basically a retard with no feeling for tact and diplomacy. He constantly makes a fool out of himself and all the newspapers writes happily about it. So we get plenty of entertainment and scandals for just 1$ per year!
