Why does everyone quote the Beckhams or the Blairs when royalty is mentioned ?
There is a difference .
The Beckhams and Blairs may not be to everyone's taste but they did at least EARN their own money by their OWN efforts .
None of them were handed it on a plate along with their birth certificate ,

Perhaps there's going to be a reality TV show. "I'm a Royal get me outta here!" featuring Harry and Charlie.

Perhaps austerity has finally reached them too and they need the free pies!
Spot on, Tessa!
With all the current analysing of TV presenter's salaries, plus the wages our so-called leaders in the political world are handed on a plate.....I'm sure we'd love to find out EXACTLY what each member of the Royal Family spend OUR money on.

In particular a complete itemised breakdown of Air Miles Andrew's expenses. And how about those that seem to get away with it all - those eternal hanger-ons: namely, the viscounts, earls and numerous stuck-up horse-riding offsprings who lurk in the shadows wallowing in the lap of luxury. let's see where our hard-earned money goes on these privileged upper class parasites.

Turned on the news this afternoon and all I see for half an hour is Wills pratting about in a canoe. I feel like throwing my TV in the Rhine!

Re: What's going on with the Royals?

I'm not a royalist and feel like a lot of you do about them , the hangars on etc , do they actually get money from the tax payer or does it come out of the Queens private income ?

Yet , as I've mentioned before I do like Wills and Harry , and I liked their mum .

What makes me laugh is when it's said Kate comes from an ordinary family .........ordinary , are they kidding . I do think Wills will be a decent king though .

Andrew , oh my , I do not like that man , his daughters , the way they travel in the royal coach waving and wearing their silly hats . By the way is he still living with ex wife ?

Re: What's going on with the Royals?

Hi

The Queen is old, she cannot carry on forever, she is 91.

I think we are being prepared for the time when ill health forces her to withdraw from public life.

Re: What's going on with the Royals?
