"Im not defending them but you need to check your facts. Most of their income does not come from the taxpayers. I didnt say it did but the money stated did." The majority of Harry’s money comes from the Duchy of Cornwall not the state. | |||

"50 million quid taken from the tax payer including 2 and a half mill to renovate there cottage and then they abscond. Isn't it time we got rid of the whole lot of inbred squalid intellectually bereft freeloaders. How can you be genuflective because of an accident of birth. Outdated defunct undemocratic.Oh and where are the charges that should be brought against dimwit Andy.. given the same circumstances you or i would be clapped in irons." Is that you Jeremy? | |||

"It strikes me that they’re either very badly advised or Harry is a bit of a petulant hot head. As Charles takes on more of his mother’s duties, he’s trying to modernise/streamline the Monarchy which is a good thing. The sooner Harry realises that he’s slipping down the pecking order the better. They screwed up after their African tour last year and with this latest announcement they are isolating themselves even more." To be honest i’d say it’s Meghan who wears the trousers in that relationship and i think she’s currently wearing Harry’s balls as earrings. | |||

"I am not a supporter of the Royals. AT all. The arguments about them creating wealth through tourism is not a reasonable for me. Quirk of fate, inter marriage or whichever theory of enthronement put them there is also clearly irrelevant. As individuals I would probably like some and detest others. As i would in every other sphere of my life. However I understand they have a whole swathe of support for their ongoing institution from many quarters. I also understand their wrong doings are not met in the same as mine or yours would do. However our wrong doings will be lost in the midst of time and cross the boughs of only a fraction of people. They, like Andrew, will be known by millions of people and be recorded in the annals of history & forever be remarked upon by media repeatedly resurfacing stories for different generations. Punishment enough? I don't know - he hasn't been found guilty but he has been tried publically by his own admissions and is bearing the weight of the punishments that are being regally bestowed on him and sadly his children Remember it's not their fault. In regards to Harry and her - I've lost of respect for this young man who in his earlier days seemed a very affable young chap - royal or not. He is now as far up his bottom as he can get. Now I don't have an issue if they want to step back - but sit down as well!!! Be in or out - don't be dipping your toes when you feel like it, you are financially independent already - stop taking from the tax payers honey pot. Pay a fair rent for your cottage - its ours not yours. Financially independent don't get things for free including your security Any how I'm on a rant I'd better stop!

"Im not defending them but you need to check your facts. Most of their income does not come from the taxpayers. " Around £345 million of it does though. How do you think historically the monarchy got rich? They stole it. The concept of one family being genetically superior is bonkers and being entitled to castles and untold riches whilst people sleep on the streets is obscene (as is people being accepting of it). The monarchy has never been funded like other public bodies, which are usually set an annual budget based on what they actually need to spend. Until 2013, the costs of the monarchy – that's the Queen in her role as head of state and the other working royals – were funded by a civil list payment and a number of separate grants covering travel, property maintenance, communications and other expenses. All these costs have now been rolled into one single annual payment called the “Sovereign Grant”. This has been set at 25% of surplus revenue from the crown estate - a publicly-owned property portfolio - resulting in a payment of £76.1m for 2017/2018. However, the Sovereign Grant is just one part of the total cost of the monarchy. The royal family's security bill is picked up by the metropolitan police, for example, while the costs of royal visits are borne by local councils. Meanwhile, income from the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall – despite belonging to the nation - goes directly to the Queen and Prince Charles respectively, depriving the treasury of tens of millions of pounds every year. When all this hidden expenditure is included, the real cost of the monarchy to British taxpayers is likely to be around £345m annually. | |||

Other countries' resources, possibly at the time the whole of Europe spent time fighting between themselves cos they were greedy fuckers and believed they were entitled to be royal head of that state (and when Kings actually went to war). The same happened in this country. That's my surmising... Your turn. | |||

Questioning it and demanding evidence that I can't link to because of site rules does not make my point invalid. Money gained from the methods I mentioned was invested in land and other resources that continue to provide revenue. | |||

How are the Royal Family continuing to profit from slavery and drug sales? Evidence please. Thanks. There's lots of evidence, but you'll have to look for it. Questioning it and demanding evidence that I can't link to because of site rules does not make my point invalid. Money gained from the methods I mentioned was invested in land and other resources that continue to provide revenue." Feel free to PM your evidence. | |||

"The royal family exists because society accepted the idea over time of them giving up political power in exchange for titular power and retention of hereditary privilege. Without the crown, they are just another aristocratic family with huge personal wealth. An elected head of state probably would cost less." Works in America .. oh .. wait .. hang on ... | |||

People all over the world pay for things that were done by their ancestors in one way or another. White people in the US have payed reparations for slavery in many ways, and they certainly weren't born when slavery flourished there. | |||

When you read the articles, bear in mind the following example. If a person robs another person, and uses that money to buy a car which they then use as a taxi. The money they earn in that taxi is profiting from the proceeds of a crime. If they then retire and give the car to their adult child who continues to use it to earn money, that person is still profiting from the proceeds of a crime. At what stage do you think this situation is no longer a crime? At what stage do you think that it would be morally reprehensible to knowingly continue to profit from the proceeds of a crime? Yes, many wealthy families and royals from other countries prosper in this way, but it doesn't make it right. | |||

"The problem with today's world is that everyone believes they have the right to express an opinion AND have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially that opinion can be roundly ignored and be made fun of particularly if its demonstrably nonsense! Plaguirised. But applies to some the nonsense statements on here!" Plagiarised? What is? | |||

"For approximately a can of Coca Cola and a mars bar a year, she and her direct family (who are mostly funded by a separate income from the Duchy of Cornwall) she can have my £1.24 a year Would you rather the Royals had your £1.24, or somebody suffering from a painful and terminal illness?

The same happened in this country. That's my surmising... Your turn. Never heard of the Opium Wars with China??????? " Yes but knew nothing of them. Now I know something, such as first opium war 1839. Did the monarch rule parliament at this time? Very succinct answer no! The monarch had no powers within Parliament during the time of George III.

"I believe they should have a right to withdraw themselves from Royal titles but few things they said sound like a fantasy talk to me. What is even mean become financially independent? I honestly can not imagine neither of them gonna go to 9-5 or shift round jobs or work 24/7 for their own business- what kind of job they can do without the security of Royals anyway. That’s what it means to most of us , right? So in basic sentence; They want to have a celebrity/Love Island couple lifestyle with few billion in their bank so the interest can keep them living a life of millionaires without the restriction of the Queen. " Spose she could go back to acting and advertising jeans | |||

One of the key phrases is "fit a proper". One measure of "fit and proper" is not blabbing to half the world you work there. As BM said ^^^^, the stuff people divulge on here is mind boggling.

From the profits of slavery, drug trade etc the British Royal Family purchased land, buildings, shares in various commodities - diamonds, gold etc. They still own the vast majority of these and still profit from them. If a person robs another person, and uses that money to buy a car which they then use as a taxi. The money they earn in that taxi is profiting from the proceeds of a crime. If they then retire and give the car to their adult child who continues to use it to earn money, that person is still profiting from the proceeds of a crime. At what stage do you think this situation is no longer a crime? At what stage do you think that it would be morally reprehensible to knowingly continue to profit from the proceeds of a crime? Yes, many wealthy families and royals from other countries prosper in this way, but it doesn't make it right. | |||

Outdated defunct undemocratic.Oh and where are the charges that should be brought against dimwit Andy.. given the same circumstances you or i would be clapped in irons. No, definitely not. Otherwise we'd all become French and where would that lead us? toward greater sophistication" Have you studied French history at all? | |||

Outdated defunct undemocratic.Oh and where are the charges that should be brought against dimwit Andy.. given the same circumstances you or i would be clapped in irons. What a truly sick outlook. Our Royal family is truly wonderful and every citizen of the United Kingdom should be immensely proud of them...as I am. I'm in different, so don't really care either way. But why should they? I often see this outlook from people with nothing really to back up their opinion or claim. Just that we should just be happy they are there. " Likewise here, indifferent. I like history, and that does include the monarchy, but I'm not proud as subject to the Queen. In fact, if my nan's great x5 uncle had been her ancestor instead of his brother, I'd probably be a Princess (margaret, for example ). | |||

"The Royal family bring in so much tourism it won't disappear. The way they've gone about it is very wrong " This is a common misconception the royal household pretty much count everyone that walks past a royal residency in those figures. Relatively few people visit the UK purely because of the royal family, but many of them will take in Buckingham Palace because it’s there. | |||

"I reckon that's about 50p yep off with their heads " £345 million might provide homes for some of the people we have to step around sleeping in doorways. Or free breakfasts in schools for children who havent eaten seei g as mum and dad had to put the heating on instead. Just a few kids innit. But. No. Who's going to miss a few pence in our taxes. Let the royals continue to eat cake. | |||

"I actually feel very sorry for the Queen right now. Not only has she been made to look silly in her professional capacity by someone close to her. Harry is her grandson and the bond is fading fast and she must be quite hurt by that. She is likely very torn and very sad. She's an old lady but won't get to deal with her family personally in the way she probably wishes she could. " Dont be fooled. I bet ol Liz can still swing a mean left hook | |||

"For approximately a can of Coca Cola and a mars bar a year, she and her direct family (who are mostly funded by a separate income from the Duchy of Cornwall) she can have my £1.24 a year Would you rather the Royals had your £1.24, or somebody suffering from a painful and terminal illness? The bulk of the UK Royal's original funds come from the r*pe of other country's resources, slavery and drug sales. Drug sales? Slavery? Probably. At the time rich landowners owned slaves. Other countries' resources, possibly at the time the whole of Europe spent time fighting between themselves cos they were greedy fuckers and believed they were entitled to be royal head of that state (and when Kings actually went to war). The same happened in this country. That's my surmising... Your turn. Never heard of the Opium Wars with China??????? Yes but knew nothing of them. Now I know something, such as first opium war 1839. Did the monarch rule parliament at this time? Very succinct answer no! The monarch had no powers within Parliament during the time of George III. Thanks wiki. The opium trade was conducted by the British East India Company, operating under Royal Charter. Wikipedia is a bit like education for dummies, it only shows a small vignette of the whole story. A granted Royal Charter means that a significant percentage of the profits went into the royal coffers. British East India company 1600-1874, received royal charter from QEI in 1600. Now wanna explain how the royals are currently profiting? Of course. I mentioned it in a post above, but I'll repeat it for you. From the profits of slavery, drug trade etc the British Royal Family purchased land, buildings, shares in various commodities - diamonds, gold etc. They still own the vast majority of these and still profit from them. If a person robs another person, and uses that money to buy a car which they then use as a taxi. The money they earn in that taxi is profiting from the proceeds of a crime. If they then retire and give the car to their adult child who continues to use it to earn money, that person is still profiting from the proceeds of a crime. At what stage do you think this situation is no longer a crime? At what stage do you think that it would be morally reprehensible to knowingly continue to profit from the proceeds of a crime? Yes, many wealthy families and royals from other countries prosper in this way, but it doesn't make it right. Actually, being pedantic, but it wasn't the British Royal family. Scotland had their own king. And what with, from Henry viii, going from Catholicism to Protestant to Catholicism and so on, until an act of Parliament decreeing no Catholic ascension (I think after James II), the current British monarch's relationship to Elizabeth I is as tenuous as me being a cousin to Elizabeth via an ancestor on her non Royal side. Also, it's not relevant that there is little or no familial relationship between Elizabeth 1 and Elizabeth 2. Land titles, holdings, rights and privileges have largely been bequeathed from Royal Household to Royal Household. So one minute your giving example of father to son re profits of crime, then you're agreeing there are tenuous familial ties between the 2 lizzies. You can't have it both ways. Also, there is no evidence of a crime... Or put it this way, put the Queen before a court and a decent solicitor will have her free in no time. " Yes, I can have it both ways. The example I gave was just that. An example. The situation would be the same whether it were father and son (which I didn't specify), or one person to another, whether related or not. And no, of course the Queen wouldn't go before a court - that's just ridiculous. I haven't suggested that at all, I'm just continuing my assertation the the Royal's original funding came from the r*pe of other country's resources, slavery and drug sales. I'm talking about a moral responsibility to face the fact the monarchy is based on, and funded by those things. So far, you have been unable to refute those assertions. When you look at Buckingham Palace, you might think "Oh, how lovely - all those wealthy Royals make me proud". When I look at Bucking Palace I might think "I wonder how many of those bricks were purchased using the profits from the sales of my ancestors?" | |||

Profit - noun -"a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something." I'll try and make this simple. If something is purchased using funds gleaned from the sale of slaves, be it land, gold bullion, diamonds etc, whoever subsequently owns those items and makes a financial gain from them, is profiting from slave trading. It doesn't matter who first bought them or who they were given to, the current possessor of them has culpability. | |||
