I like your picture. It shows how well you can think. I cannot conceive why anyone should storm Buckingham Palace, as you can walk through the gates at various times and the same with Windsor Castle

Answer 8

The Crown jewels aren't in Buckingham Palace, they're in the Tower of London.

Answer 10

Why?

Everyday, there always seems to be somebody here on Yahoo Answers....from the U.S.,... who feels that if it isn't the "American way"...it's not due any respect and needs to be changed to the "American way". It's a free world...and most British people love their monarchy. If you don't understand it...best be quiet!

Answer 11

Why would they do this? Most of the citizens of the UK love their royal family. they have grown up with it for their whole lives. they love the romantic nature having a true royal family that actually has some goverment powers. it isnt like the queen is a crazy murderous monarch or something

Answer 12

Mostly, because we aren't angry, and mobs are for Frogs...(!) but also why would we tear down something that actually WORKS?

It works better than any other system in this world, and I defy anyone to nominate another State that in reality, works more smoothly, less hassle & hatred, and violence.

It's even so good that people come to wonder and admire it, -and the Royal Family- from all over the world..

As for selling  the Crown Jewels in Ebay, that surely would fetch the rock-bottom-est price, wouldn't it!!   And yet...and yet, and yet,... - there would be eager Buyers from every corner of the globe, to get a piece of the action!!  wouldn't there? Your answer lies in that fact.

There's an old proverb, "Agua que no has de bebere, -dejala correre..."

Translates roughly like "just cus yer not gonna drink the water, don't p*ss in it!". That applies here.

Answer 13

Because we have respect for our royals, and it is our heritage and we are proud of it, why do you think we were once called GREAT BRITAIN, and as far as i am concerned we still are

Answer 14

Even if the angry mob successfully stormed into Buckingham Palace, they will be out of luck since the Crown Jewels are actually stored in the Tower of London. The Crown Jewels have been kept at the Tower of London since 1303 after they were stolen from Westminster Abbey. New security and display technology was also incorporated since 1994 including fibre optics to light the displays, and the jewels are protected by 2 inch thick shatter-proof glass. The cases are of brass and contain inert materials, and filtered air. The jewels rest on French velvet. A dedicated control room was constructed in the barracks, from which soldiers monitored the Jewel House and the wider Tower of London. Good luck with that!

Answer 15

most of the crown jewels belong to india so the brits are thieves for keeping it for so long.

they should give it back to india
