Prince Andrew .
His useless daughters for whom the British taxpayer has paid for 24 hour security for years ( it stopped now to his annoyance ) so we were paying for the protectction Of his daughters when he was having sweaty sex with someone elses 17 year old .
Harry and Megan the invisible Archie and any other kids they might have .
Prince Edward and family - they live in a minor palace ( paid for by the taxpayer of course )
The gloucesters nice people and so they should be in their state subsided grace and favour residence in central London .
The entire crowd of courtiers without whom the royal soap opera apparently would not function .
It is thought ( because it’s a shady and secret area ) that the entire road show including security costs the Taxpayer £345 million a year .

Yes, excellent.
To you and I £354 million/year might seemlike a lot of money.
It isn't, really.
It's barely enough to pay the state pension in this country for one day!

Whatever anybody thinks of Harry & Megan it is patently obvious from their actions IMHO that they both know and accept that future changes for the UK's royals are inevitable.

If you want to read about the sheer hypocrisy of the feudal system and all the fancy titles and protocols that are generated to protect it, just look at this site.http://freckenham.ecseachamber.org/
