This isn't a flippant question but would you rather not have a royal family but pay more tax to offset the £1.2bn a year loss of income?

Hand the Royal buildings over to the people and turn them into museums for tourists to waste their cash in.

I'd much rather end the culture of the privileged few and elite and get them to pay tax properly, that'd soon sort it.

It's crass and insulting to have such an open display of wealth when there is crippling poverty in areas of this country. Oh, and we are also supposed to respect and admire them?

Next in like to the throne is someone who classed Jimmy Savile as a close friend, like the BBC, I wonder how much was ignored and or covered up?

Yup, they are symbolic of a culture of privilege and poverty that should be a thing of the past.

Hand them back to the people as I am sure most were ours in the first place.

And replace them with Cameron and co?



Would that happen or would everything end up in private ownership.

I'm not really for or against the royals but I'm not sure I see getting rid of them having a huge positive impact for the country.

i have no time for them, out of interest would you bow if you met one of them? I know I wouldn't

that at liitle boy was probably wearing a pair of pyjamas that cost as much as some people have to live on for a week or maybe more.

Cameron and Co are already here Dave. (not my choice) No need to replace them with anything.

But he'd be President Cameron then, that would be even worse. Would also mean all trade deals etc would be down to him, the royals are pretty useful to roll out for that kind of thing.

Wonder if there will ever be a referendum on it? Think if it came to it becoming a republic would be a pretty hard sell.

I love all the pomp and circumstance it creates.
The immediate family I am happy with with but the fringes are a luxury.

The queen is a wonderful advertisement for Britain.
