He's a prince, he can do what ever the hell he wants. Sort of like a Czar here in America...

Seems rather uncool when the economy is jacked and he personally has done nothing to earn this money.

Apparently the Royal Family costs every individual something like 60-odd pence per year.  Sometimes I find myself thinking, that's not the point though.

Correction. Your royal buildings monuments and pageantry, which was paid for and maintained by citizens taxes earns the country millions. Do tourists get to meet the Queen?
I was recently in Berlin and toured all the beautiful public buildings which where full of tourists. You don't need a monarchy to attract tourists. The architecture is there. This presumption that the royals generate more money in tourism than they take is bollox.

I dunno, things like changing of the guard wouldn't happen without them. Plus, remember the crowds & international coverage of liz's coronation, dianas marriage and death? Everytime they make a public appearance they draw huuuuge crowds.

I think it's the idea of the monarchy that makes the money, not just the buildings an not just the people in question.

Nah, we've got reality TV stars for them and so-called celebrities who wish for us to know everything they do during the day instead.

I live in one of the Six so I pay taxes to "Her Majesties Custom and Revenue" The title of the tax office is quite fitting.

Was a joke m8.

Imo each country in the Commonwealth should be sending back two or three million a year as well. After all, we do have the Queen plastered all over our coins.

On that note, there's a new push for a republic here emerging. lel

If you want to see the best example of "bleating sheep" citizens, look in your own back-yard. Obama Obama Obama.

Hell, at least our royals don't pretend to actually do shit - they just chill, wave and smile, and get on with their little unimportant lives.

I don't really have an objection to the Queen and her family, some of them do use their fortunate position to actually do a lot of good. They're not exactly massive drains on tax money and public-funds when you consider the balance sheet of all of it; they earn and bring in just as much money through various avenues (e.g. tourism, state occasions, various initiatives) as they take out to maintain their decadent lifestyle. As someone said above, it's 6 pence a year and that's not exactly a massive price to retain one of the essential characteristics that form British identity and our cultural/historical pride. Politically you can argue against the idea of monarchy all you want... it's pretty irrelevant. The Queen and her relatives are nothing but a tourist-attraction and press-gimmick nowadays, there's nothing to really oppose in principle about them.

The guy can air his own views if he wants but it should stop there. At the end of the day the developers weren't forced to scrap the plans it's just that they did for the sake of it.

Personally I don't see what's so great about "traditional" architecture, whatever that is. Most "traditional" buildings in the UK resemble Ancient Greek architecture anyway


I don't really have any problems with the Royal family, although I'm not sure how things will be once the Queen goes away cos the heirs look like complete douchebags to me compared to Queen
