I also see people are outraged because the royals receive 100 million British Pounds from taxpayers. Regular folk can't get extra help from the government if they have more than 2 kids but people fawn over the royals who live high on the hot at taxpayer expense. Why the British monarchy still exists is beyond me.
Prince Charles .. making racist comments, .. he i more like his father then he admits.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like the British Health Service treats you all well. Those of us on Medicaid & Medicare are treated worse than animals. Things have gotten worse since Trump took office. We are a drain on society you know.
I assume everyone in the commonwealth are taxed, not just England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The Queen is one of the wealthiest people in the world so I still don't understand why the riyals need public assistance. Let me go to England and get public assistance.
Can someone please explain the purpose if the British Monarchy? I am serious. I just don't get it.
TW – Regarding the NHS we are very, very lucky to have the NHS, and I thank God we have it.
The commonwealth counties pay nothing towards the annual costs of the royal family. They do pay however towards the cost of State visits when the Queen or her representatives ie family make an official visit to their country, as they would when other heads of state visit. In fact the Australian government paid more for Oprah Winfrey's visit in 2010 than it did for the Queen's visit in 2011.
What is the purpose of the British Monarchy? Its really quite a complex question to answer I hope this helps you to understand a little .. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British Monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Monarchy play an important part in the life of our nation. As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service. Within the Royal family the monarch has a political function, although she sometimes delegates some of her social or ceremonial duties to the Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne. In a nutshell generally, every royal supports different charities (bringing in much needed exposure and revenue to those charities, they appear at events again giving the event much needed exposure, and occasionally they travel the globe to strengthen diplomatic relationships and have brought much needed trade to our country. Prince Charles by the way has a fabulous charity called the Princes trust which has been going for over 40 years which helps vulnerable young people get their lives on track. It supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Many of the young people they help are in, or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health issues, or have been in trouble with the law. The trust has returned £1.4 billion in value to society through the help of disadvantaged young people over the last 10 years alone. They offer free programmes and give young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives. The trust helps them start a business and offers up star up loans they help them develop key skills while boosting their confidence and motivation so they can continue to dream big. There is also the duke of Edinburgh award which is a youth awards programme.
The British monarchy is an antique institution, peopled by eccentrics and governed by arcane rules and customs. But it works for us — they generate for our country literally hundreds of millions ever year and many believe we would struggle to find a better alternative.
According to American tabloids all the royals do is drink, party, have sex, make racist comments, and walk on water.
