If Harry and Meghan want to wash their hands of it they should pay his father and grandmother the millions that they spent on their wedding.........oh hang on, we paid for it. How many palaces, castles, mansions, estates does one family need? And a huge question is when is Andrew going to be brought to book? Aside from the accusations against him, the f*cker swans around on our money.... parasites!!!!
    Like most on here, you don't understand the principle of having a Monarchy. All those things like the Cenotaph, meeting other heads of states, etc. etc. is done in a non-political way. The U.S. has the president which actually costs the US many times more. The new Airforce 1 is costing $5.4 billion dollars. In 50 days Biden hasn't appeared once. In 50 days the Royal Family have completed 200 public engagements.

    Just to give the argument some balance..

      Think Charles should step aside if the queen passes that lets William in and his lovely wife ,they can them apply a younger and fresher approach to the role , in addition Archie become a prince and all the support dosh follows for him and his lovely family.

        I have a better idea.
        Charles steps aside. and so does everyone else and we end all this silliness when the current queen passes away.

        open up all the public owned palaces to tourism (some are private property of the Windsor's). stop giving them millions of pounds every year and let them live their lives in peace

          Bit weird to say that no one understands the monarchy and then compare it with the us president, but anyway.

          Surely all the royal public engagements are quite expensive with security and so on. How many of those 200 will raise more money directly than they cost? Can't imagine it's many.

              200 public engagements in 50 days during lockdown. Interesting!

                nobody wants to replace the kings and queens with a us style president, what people like me want is a ceremonial president with no real power.
                like Ireland or Switzerland.

                    like whoever the public want (probably not Drakeford then)
                    it would have the additional benefit that egotists like Boris Johnson or Donald trump who want the prestige of the role but don't actually want to do any of the actual running of the country would probably try to go for that role instead, thus saving us from their harmful leadership.

                        according to Hello! magazine, the queen made her first royal engagement in person of 2021 at the end of February when :

                        Her Majesty made one of her most senior royal aides, Vice-Admiral Sir Tony Johnstone-Burt, a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO).
                        thank goodness she was around to do that eh?

                          More than Biden, which is the important thing to remember.
