Look at the net worth of the Royal Family




The net worth of the Royal Family is based on how much the real British Governing body will allow for and it costs the tax paying people a good bit to keep up appearances in the Royal Family.

Shame Princess Anne isn’t inheriting.


Anne and Edward are actually normal, it's their siblings that are useless.

I loved seeing the pictures of her on her fell ponies. I’d never even heard of the breed until I saw the queen on them. Smart to move to something closer to the ground with age

I agree on Anne

All of the newscasters seem to be wearing black. I think she has passed already.


If they don't have black ties on, she's still alive.

The monarchy and what it represents is the only thing keeping Great Britain from unrestrained socialism

Sarcasm?


How can you draw any other conclusion, looking at the western world today?

Not true at all. The expenses of the royal family come from the Sovereign Grant. Profits from the Crown Estate (which the royal family surrendered to the Treasury) are what funds the Sovereign Grant. Currently, they receive 25% of the Crown Estate, with the other 75% going to the Treasury.

The royals’ private income comes from the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall. These are portfolios of private properties owned by HM and the Prince of Wales (currently).

Doesn't this make it even worse though?

You work hard, pay all your taxes, they take your money so they can literally live like Kings and Queens but they don't actually do anything for you at all?

They generate a profit. Think of them like LSU football. People get pissed how much money they spend but don’t look at the money made with those expenditures. The royal family is in the black as far as taxpayer $
