    It's a shame, but, I'm not surprised given the number of miseries on here.
    I agree, off with their heeds, but only after a good stoning in the stocks to soften them up a bit....

    I agree( Top Layer ) .

    Lets also remember , they live their life in a goldfish bowl from the minute they are born .

    Their lives are NOT their own .

    If anyone were inventing a country from scratch, it wouldn't have a Royal Family. They are therefore presumed to be a bad thing until the contrary is shown. I just think the current lot are great value for money. Most of the cost of keeping them in fact goes on their castles, which would have to be maintained even if there was no royalty to inhabit them. On the plus side, they are a unique diplomatic asset. Want to whip the US into a pro-British frenzy ? Send Wills and Kate on a honeymoon tour. Need the loyalty of a carribean island bucked up ? Bowl Harry at them. Want to make a president feel like he's socially inadequate ? A state visit with the Queen will do nicely.

    As far as money goes, virtually every country thinks hosting the Olympics is worth while. Why ? Because for 22 days it makes your country what the world watches on TV. A decent royal wedding does the same thing, though for only 1 day. If you work out the cost per day of the Olympics, I'd bet the royal family would pay for itself if it did nothing but get married once a decade or so.

    Also, somebody has to open all of those hospitals, cut all of those ribbons, etc. Countries that don't have royalty have to hire people to do it an they don't have half the flair.

    At some point, we are going to have to get rid of them but for the foreseeable future, they're a good investment

    He has anything in a skirt fetish. That’s why Scotsman, like @mustyfrog, run for the hills when Chippy walks in.
