I'm a traitor. I signed an oath of loyalty to Her Majesty in 2000. I wish I had kept a copy of it.

Wow so Philip is just stepping down from his royal duties. Nothing to see here

So the Queen cant afford repairs at Buckingham? Would that be a government or public funded project?

Yeah. I traced my family back to Edward III (died in 1377). Through him, I've been able to find a direct link to the royal family of pretty much every European country.
'Sup cuz. I found my link to them via King John I. If I calculated it correctly, Liz is my 21st cousin, twice removed.

Exactly. She's rich compared to me, but the real rich of Britain are said to laugh about how the royal family are really, really small potatoes so far as money goes.
The truly wealthy like gates and Buffet don't have a truly liquid wealth either. Monster portions of their wealth are not truly liquid, Gates can't just sell off billions it's illegal for one as there are limits but it would also cause a major issue with company stock.
Furthermore, as custodians or whatever you want to call the Queen she sole discretion and access to billions of property. That in itself is worth more than many billions could dream of.
Sure it's a different type of wealth I agree, but there's still plenty of billionaires that would prefer to be the queen. While there are also plenty of monarchs that would rather be privately wealthy.
Neither are living a bad lifestyle.

This whole bunch of crap is nothing but welfare for the aristocracy. What's gonna happen? Someone ever going to overthrow them now? Do away with it. It's absurd.
If you feel that strongly about it, move to the U.K., become a citizen, and campaign for it to become a republic.

The aristocracy is probably worth a couple billion dollars annually to the UK tourism economy
but sure, do away with it

He can definitely come up with a divestment plan to unwind his investments and become liquid, it may cause a huge drop in his net worth though and take a long time
The royals can't sell some of the royal estates that have to be retained in the crown's holdings
I have a friend whose family bought an expensive estate in London from them though. So they definitely have the ability to get rid of some but eventually they'll be left with truly illiquid assets

Google says it's Sabrina Guinness.
And not only did she date Charles, but also Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Michael Douglas, and Jack Nicholson.

He could always borrow one from the head of the Small Business Administration.

I read through three pages of this BS, just to see someone claim they know relatives of the Royals . This place isn't the same

i always thought he wanted the throne, but his mom is a greedy bitch and refuses to abdicate.

There has been one abdication in the history of the royal family and that was just to bang some yank sloot
