All these people complain about the Royal Family but what they don't realise is that the Queen has the good grace to allow them to live and own property on what is her land.
I for one would like to say thank you, Ma'am. |

Cost of policing is a red herring. This sort of thing generates millions more in tourism etc.
Both Meghan and Kate are worth zillions to the fashion industry as women, (and those identifying as women..) copy what they wear. I should think many females, males an inbetweeners will copy Gene and the bridesmaids too. The royals are a brand. |

when the French got rid of their royals, what happened to their tourism industry...Paris one of the most visited cities in the world. They don't come to see the queen because she's never there to give a wave, Buckingham Palace itself wouldn't disappear.

Paris is a sh*t hole. Sorry but that's my review of the place.
Agree they get loads of tourists but having a living royal family certainly helps us. When Prince William married Kate Middleton in April 2011, the UK’s Association of Leading Visitor Attractions claimed it: Saw an additional 600,000 people come to London for the weekend, 60% from UK, 40% from overseas, spending £107m … The value to ‘brand Britain’ due to global media coverage was approximately £1 billion. VisitBritain reported that, globally, more than two billion people watched the wedding ceremony, with its content aired by key broadcasters internationally. It wasn’t just visitors to London that increased – the Office for National Statistics reported that during April 2011, an extra 350,000 visitors travelled to the UK compared to 2010. Tourism also flourished on the island of Anglesey in Wales, where the royal couple lived after the wedding. http://theconversation.com/fact-check-do-tourists-visit-britain-because-of-the-royal-family-88335 |

I hope all you anti-royalists realise that capital punishment remains in place for treason in this country.
(Actually, it doesn't but if you say it loud enough and with conviction, people will believe you.) |

Plenty of other ways to generate income from the Palace if they were removed. They are irrelevant freeloaders in 2018. Amusing that people still worship them however.

The Royals are worth it for the comedy value alone they keeps the nation entertained with their mad cap behaviour. A finer bunch of inbreds and loons no other country can match.

Cost of policing is a red herring. This sort of thing generates millions more in tourism etc. 1000 people (max) turned up for a butchers at the happy couple . Most of 'em probably live within 20 miles of Windsor so not sure how that's gonnapump millions into the economy but hey-ho  |

Not really interested in Royal weddings although I do love the anger it stirs up on here.

Its money well spent, better certainly than the billions being spent on foreign and alien cultures within Britain, how much is security costing because of that madness?
|
|
By:
Why is it ' well spent ' ?
|
|
By:
Because it is necessary and doesn’t cost the country anything
Unlike the costs caused and the billion spent after importing murderers and alien and anti British elements into Britain , the billions spent on security and of course lives lost and horrific injuries See the difference ? |

reprehensible some of the comments on here

What people don’t understand is the Queen doesn’t have to do anything , to know that she is there in her palace is enough ,
even taking naps , that is much more beneficial than catastrophes |

What I often find amusing is the type of royalist supporter who happens also to take a firm opinion on the EU being one with unelected personnel, seem to convieniently forget they could be talking about the very monarchy they are in support of.
Whereas the EU was established to minimise the likelihood of continued European wars (the greatest area of war zones on the planet) largely contributed to by imperialist power struggles within an extended family.....who ofc then rewarded supporters with egregious wealth for doing little other than pointing to the area which they expected the 'subjects' to die fighting. |

Yes all you miserable kill joys don't understand. Think of all the new dresses one has to wear and opportunities to dress up. I am so jealous. And getting p!ssed up - getting chatted up and ......... retire to one's boudoir for some extra tiffin.

All the pomp and ceremony always gives me a chortle, the very vehicle used to keep the people under the yoke.
People really have to ask themselves a question; what type of human expects you to bow to them? |

Unlike the EU official's dustybin the royal's fall out of the correct ballbag...........hope that clears it up for you  |
