But the Royal Familly in other countries is still there - but they have jobs & live more like normal folk. They get paid a bit extra for being Royals & being available for the pomp & circumstance stuff... but don't get given Cornwall when they hit 21 (easy to pay £3m tax on £14m profit when you were given Cornwall.......  ) What else do they cost? They don't pay the policing for their vists, or for the wee man always 10 feet in front of the Queen painting everything so it looks nice for her..... Vive La Revolution!! Ou ext Madame Le Guillotine?!!!! |

I offer to take up 500 public engagements a year, how hard can it be?
Great food and booze, 5 star travel and accomadation, servants and assistance galore, your every whim catered for. I'll pull a string and plant a tree every day if thats whats coming to me, better than 9-5 drudge.

How can you justify any equality in this country when you have an unelected head of state who only got there because her ancestors were better at killing our ancestors?

Less than 1/5 of the total population voted for Tony Blair. ( Under 10mill ) This is how democracy works. More people voted for someone else than for Labour. |

I love the idea of monarchy and all the things they bring - it's just a shame I don't like the people doing the job. Although Harry rocks. You gotta love Harry.  Harry does seem to be more down to earth , quite unlike his father...um...and I hear he does a wicked impersonation of James Hewitt |

Good post. I like the fact that we have a monarchy, I'm not one of those who go out of my way to wave at her Maj or her brood, but fair play to them. God save the Queen ! |

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Less than 1/5 of the total population voted for Tony Blair. ( Under 10mill ) A lot less than that - technically the only people that voted for Tony Blair were those in Sedgefield |

Why does a Greek geezer get our cash? I hesitate to ask this 'cos judging by the plethora of medals on his military uniform he must be well 'ard. |

I'd have to emmigrate if he were King. Thats what you think. As for Harry, guys a legend. His best m8 from Eton had a cousin at my school and such is the way of public schools in and around london we used to descend on the Kings Road most saturday nights. He seemed pretty normal to me! |
