Sell some paintings or jewels.

Re: Security question.

I always look at all these budgets as not just for the royals or the vip but to keep the people watching safe as well, it would be horrific if an attack took place at any of these events.

Btw trumps was a four day multi region event so £18m seems almost cheap.

If they did it on the quiet in a little church with a few friends and family, you wouldn't need it all though would you, Julie.
Nope, squandering our cash is and always will be the name of the game with our beloved royals.

Re: Security question.

I'm not angry/disgusted but I do think the family should think about generating some £ from these events, like selling the TV right. Even if just to shush the angry/disgusted.

Re: Security question.

The pottery market is rubbing its hands again. Full price or instalments via The Daily Mail from tomorrow.
Or if you can wait six months, 20p per mug or plate at your nearest car boot sale (in between the smoothie maker and Jeremy Clarkson's latest paperback).

This.

Unfortunately, security costs money and we would provide security for any World leaders whether it be Trump or a bunch of Africans. The problem with the recent wedding is that Air Miles is a known p*nce (that's not prince btw) that does his very best to fleece the public purse and even his own relatives.

Re: Security question.

It's perfect question. Do you think that head of states and other top officials should be more protected than before?

Re: Security question.

When our drippy politicians travel abroad, no doubt they are given a similar amount of protection - although lets be fair, Trump has made himself a rather big target.
