That sun photographer Edwards is the ultimate brown noser, out dated bunch on inbread layabouts, that woman that William is married to makes me want to throw up
Two of us rob! I can't quite out my finger on why I like having them there but I do. Maybe it makes us unique, it's still the envy of most countries including the statesLooks like I'm the only one proud that we still have a monarchy then. I'll take the royals every day over some half baked celebrity from filmstars or Towie or Chelsea or Geordie or big brother etc or even dare I say footballer (who's football I watch and don't care who they shag and how much money they have). Great history is why we have a fantastic tourist industry and they are a huge part of it here and around the world.

I have absolutely no interest in them whatsoever. Switch off anything and everything to do with them.I am not too fussed about them.
You see Prince Harry on TV and he seems to be trying to do things he is passionate about like Invictus Games etc.
I just don't want to know every time they have a shit.
Property is far too expensive in Pall Mall though, so I think I might just stay in Coventry.Its like most things in life, If you have no interest in them don't read about them, dont write about them dont aknowledge them
They are easily avoidable, just turn that page of the newspaper, dont click on that link relating to them.
I personally think they do a great deal for our international relations and are a huge part of tourism in the UK, wether they warrant the publicity/cash they recieve is a different matter. I cant see them being gone in our lifetime so you just have to live around them.
I'm not really sure it's the envy of the world as most of it chose to be independent from the British crown. It's an outdated concept for me and I don't really buy the tourism thing as the history would still be there without the royals, most tourists come to see the buildings and historical sites without ever getting a glimpse of Kate's latest frock. I Would much prefer an elected head of state, but not necessarily a politician. I just can't get my head around the idea of someone being born with a silver spoon, also I think most supporters of the monarchy would probably like to skip Charles and go straight to William, so even they would like some say in who gets the throne.Two of us rob!

Yeah. It's such a shame they get less tourism in Paris and Rome due to not having a monarchy isn't it.I'm by no stretch of the imagination a royalist but don't really have any desire to get rid of the monarchy either.
They do some good and must generate a fair amount of tourism.

And if they weren't there and the public got complete and total free access to the whole of Buckingham Palace and Windsor etc?The most detailed reports put the net effect of the Royal Family at £1.5bn.
And if they weren't there and the public got complete and total free access to the whole of Buckingham Palace and Windsor etc?
How much would that be worth?
Well that's a different argument.The cost is far less than an elected upper chamber and president.
I'm no royalist of the model we have but there is zero financial argument to apply.
Can be argued that if the royals went and all the royal palaces and houses were fully open to the public, that tourism if anything would increase, due to being allowed access to previously totally private areas.
Yes, and if we had them all stuffed and put on display at Tussauds imagine the queues of people willing to shell out for a look.And if they weren't there and the public got complete and total free access to the whole of Buckingham Palace and Windsor etc?

Haven't we got enough on our plates with the Germans without having the Duchies to consider too!Well it can't really as the they actually own much if the land, many of the properties and many Duchies.

Having a monarchy in 2016 further encourages the continuation of the British class system. For those who claim that other countries are jealous, you couldn't be further away from the truth; why do you think so many expelled or executed their royal family?
