Question

Has any member of the royal family done anything this month?

Answer 1

You know, I'm not British but I get so tired of people downing the monarchy. I realize that you guys feel that they have no use but when you think about it, why would people go to England if there wasn't the idea of seeing royal sites and things to do with Royal History. They do more than just sit in a palace and use tax payers money. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that the amount of money that the Royal family brings in from tourism pretty much offsets any money that comes out of the tax payers pocket. Plus the many community and supportive appearances they make I think outweigh the few pennies that come out of your pockets.

Answer 2

Yes, they have all contributed to the well being of the country.

best of luck to you!

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

yes used up thousands of tax payers money living in a palace, having servants waiting on her hand and foot.

Answer 5

Do they ever do anything for us at all? Apart from when they need to "show they still care"? and apart from bring in tourism.
