Why do so many of you here whinge about Royal spending?

Question

If the Royal family was no more, who would look after palace and all other holdings currently belonging to the monarchy?

The government would! And the government would need tax payers money to travel and upkeep all that used to belong to the monarchy. So in essence you are just trading one for the other.

If they didn't excist you would be bashing the government for wasting tax payers money. At least with the royals in place it serves as a tourisim attraction to put in mildly.

Answer 1

I wish people would actually read the information available on which shows how much money the royal Family pays in tax. Like Charles has his own businesses to pay for the things he buys. Thee might be counts and princesses, but if they are not in the immediate royal Family they do not get any money. Look at all of them who work  For you doubting Thomas please visit the Royal family webpage

Answer 2

If i was head of the government, there would be no Royal family. They would live in a Council Estate, a citizen who thinks they can be treated better than me (if i was Prime Minister, more like President) obviously has a dangerous mind and should be sent out of the country. If they want a King/Queen, i can be that Queen because monarchy should be one of the jobs that a head-of-state should be given (if it is a country with a Monarch)

Answer 3

live in the US, could care less what the royals spend......

Answer 4

You are quite wrong. The Tsar's winter palace in St Petersburg is Russia's biggest tourist money rake-in. Just think how much people will pay to view Bucky all year round!  http://www.saint-petersburg.com/panorama...

Answer 6

I'm an Aussie and not in anyway a Monarchist..... BUT .. I do get tired of the way so many ignorant people *bash the crappola* out of the Royals......

Generally those that Bash have NO IDEA .....

all I can say is that I would never trade my life of obscurity for their wealth .....

LOL i guess I am a Monarchial Republican .. lol ... I respect the Royals .. and recognise that they DO not deserve the c**p people go on about them ...

P.S .. and to think ... If you didn't have the Royals .. YOU might end up with a (GASP!!!!) PRESIDENT .. and even worse .. (BIGGER GASP!!!!!!) one like George W Bush
