Re: Why don't the Royal's help more?

I'm not buying that one. If they have lots of begging letters already, twice or three times as many won't make any difference to them.

No it won't Ploppy , it will give their staff more to do.
There is no point in encouraging thousands of begging letters to be sent pointlessly though, the Royals are unlikely to read every one and pick a few out.

Like most of us when it comes to financial contributions they do I am sure contribute to the causes of their choice.

The royals may get begging letters but I doubt they ever see them. An army of staff will be the only ones who ever see them. I´m sure the royals will never have to worry their heads about them.

I don't think you have pointed out the real reason why they keep it a secret though, Meg.

I prefer a figurehead who makes positive changes to everyone's life. Can't think of anyone right now.

Your a very, very evil wicked woman many of the homeless are ex military that have fell on very hard times. The Royals have far more than they will ever need they could give so much but all they think about is themselves mainly. Yes they do help charities etc etc. But it does not help the homeless veterans does it? Come on your Majesty give the veterans a home you have far more than you need.

Re: Why don't the Royal's help more?

I wonder. Are there any spare/empty rooms at the palace?


Mind you they'll probably spend a few bob for a xmas feed for the unfortunates and then tell them to get back and vacuum under their bridges.
