Money well spent or Immoral

Madness in this day and age , they have enough properties and rooms to house a bloody army.
I'm not anti royal, as they are loved, and provide revenue in tourism ,and a uniqueness many countries crave and admire, just need to live within thier means. .

Why not go the whole hog and have Wallace and Gromit as the Head of State and sidekick if it's about tourism? The royal family is part of the system in this country that has a disproportionate ratio of ex-public schoolboys in the Establishment, political favours being rewarded in the so-called honours list and an ongoing divide in our society.
For my part, I will never bow unilaterally to anyone in life and would never address anyone as 'Your Highness', 'Your Grace' or similar.
Royalty, religious figures, famous people and anyone else on this planet are human beings just like you and me - and deifying them or putting them on a pedestal demeans ourselves as human beings, in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more. Really cant stand the "they are good for tourism" brigade.

You either think "Born to reign over us" is a valid concept or you don't.
