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 Outdated defunct undemocratic.Oh and where are the charges that should be brought against dimwit Andy..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.

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.

No keep them they are our Micky Mouse and brink money into the country. Anyone with and intelligence realises their value to British industry. Said that we don't really need more than the core royals but the main ones leep them its a job and lie in any job you have holidays and time away from it.

The majority of Harry’s money comes from the Duchy of Cornwall not the state.

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!

For all those going on about how much money they cost. Go research and read about the Crown Estate, the Sovereign Grant and the Duchy of Lancaster as examples, that will explain where the Queen gets her money, how it’s made up and where it ends up !

No the taxpayer did, still doesn't make it ours. As a taxpayer , I have private and dental healthcare and I have no children, but I'm happy for some of my taxes to go towards those things , as I am for a few pence to go towards our royal family, I don't get to choose either, where my taxes go

What happens to the military if the monarchy is gone? Currently they swear allegiance to the crown, not the government, which is a good thing as it means they don't technically have to do the governments bidding in certain circumstances.

"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.

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.

The Duchy of Cornwall gets loads of money per year when people die intestate but it mostly all goes to charity.

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."

Interesting.......

They haven't taken any money from the taxpayer.

Prince Andrew will only be charged if there's evidence he's committed a crime.

As for my £1.24 helping an individual with a terminal illness, it might if the government decided to spend it that way

Be grateful we have a free health care system, that provides the best treatment it can.

One day we will go the way of the rest of the world and pay for your treatment

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.

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.

Hey look at me.... I paid tax like everybody else in the land.

On property that was given to my family for free.

Taxation is an act parliemnt (one she is actually exempt from) why should be treated differently.

These tax (payments) are made voluntarily. On a select part of her holdings not all of them.

Most of her wealth come from her mother... About (£70 mil) And guess how much inheritance tax she paid. Zilch

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.

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!

Before who was born? The royal family? And what punishment are you talking about? I mentioned no punishment. 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.

"and the other 75% of the crown estate goes to...... ?

The Treasury. £343 million for 2018/2019 profit from the crown estate management of its portfolio

The Queen also pays tax on her private income from the Duchy of Lancaster and her private holdings, like her stud farm and other alike businesses and properties

I will say no more !

Hey look at me.... I paid tax like everybody else in the land.

On property that was given to my family for free.

Taxation is an act parliemnt (one she is actually exempt from) why should be treated differently.

These tax (payments) are made voluntarily. On a select part of her holdings not all of them.

Most of her wealth come from her mother... About (£70 mil) And guess how much inheritance tax she paid. Zilch

You said it. She voluntarily chooses to pay tax when she doesn’t need to

The two properties she owns were left to her by her father

I don’t begrudge them anything and changing history is never going to happen. Live with it .... the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Voluntary but in this case means... compromise

When labour got Into power and had a massive review on their finances.

The payments where made "In lieu" of tax. They never made a tax payment before this

The value of the payments are hidden and only The privy purse and only apply to gains of disposal of assets made after the 90s so even if they sold the lot tomorrow

. The govt would get bugger all

"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.

Every country has a past and a bad history, ours is no different.

Do you really think if the crown estate and her public holdings we sold off the British public would see a penny if it .... of course they wouldn’t

So continuing to profit from slavery and drug sales is ok because they're royalty?

Where are you getting your "facts" from?

Education.

Bwahahahahahahahaha

Why do you laugh at education? What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

I've just bust a rib......

I've sent you some links. When you've read them all please feel free to discuss it further like an adult, if you wish.

Ta. I'll educate myself further later.

"

Excellent. 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.

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.

"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!

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.

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.

I don't blame them. The media have been nothing short of spiteful to Megan. Everything she has done has been criticised. And Harry is more aware than most of us, how the media will hound someone until their dying day. He just doesn't want that for his wife. Or his family growing up in a country where their mother is ripped apart in public. Both want to continue supporting their charities and performing royal duties. They just want a better life.

True story.

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.

Mostly in an attempt to be "more knowledgeable" than other people.

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.

"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.

But does it make it wrong ?

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.

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.

Ok, so the Queen does get a lot of money per annum. It takes a lot of money to look after the castles and estates. What would we do with those if we we became a Republic. That is our history, our tourism. Thousands of people flock to these sites every year to connect with England's past and would want to continue to do so. As they do in Versailles in France. Who picks up the check for the upkeep of these places? Currently it comes out of the Queens purse. When Windsor needs repairs the taxpayer does not pay the Queen does and she considers it her home and states that she should pay for repairs on her own home.

Historic estates and Castle are costly to upkeep and are being lost to time. The question I pit is do we want to loose the history that makes us?

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 ).

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.

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?"

"I dont mind the royals. My life would probably be the same with or without them

That is quite likely true, mine would also probably not be much different but our nation would be much the poorer without our wonderful Royal Family. "

no it wouldnt it would be 375 million quid a year better off. Go ahead and doff your cap at the royal gold embossed royal barge as it sails through london ...while her madge waves indifferently at her genuflective throng . I'm just as proud to be a Republican as you are a monarchist.

"Constantly being attacked for simply trying to live their lives is the reason that they're stepping down.

Everyone is furious, yet prince Andrew fucks kids and no one cares

That has not been proven in any Court of Law. He also denies it.

No bjt multiple woman have come forward to confirm it with credible evidence including pbotos

What's Andrew got... A receipt frorm pizza express

So if I and a few other women on here claim you did the same ass Prince Andrew that automatically makes it true then! I could photo shop your head onto another torso then take a photo of that photo and hey presto proof.

All photoshopped photos can be proven to be geniune or false it's inbeded into the code that makes up the picture.

I do know that if I had a personal protection force that keeps a diarised record of all my movements

I could give you a better excuse than

I was in Milton Keynes for a child's birthday party. Where no member of the public include the child parents who party it was... thought bloody hell that's prince Andrew let me take a photo"

Not if they a photo of a photo which is the one in question for prince Andrew (no original) So the original that was taken on 35mm film as I understand it had embedded code that passed onto the photo of a photo! Can you feed the whole of London with 2 loaves and 5 fish next please.

Victoria was the last of the Hanover line. Her Son was the Edward VII was the first King born in the line of Saxa Coburg and Gotha. It was thought in World War One 1917 that the royals link to European crown Princes would not look good, especially that of Germany. So, for moral, the Royal families name was changed to Windsor

Ok quick lesson. Our monachy has been born from German blood since all other contenders to the throne were catholic after Queen Anne, last of the Stuart line, died with no heir

This was the start of the Hanover line with George I and ended with Queen Victoria’ death

Her son Edward VII started the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in memory of his father a Prince Albert, who was also German

His son George V changed it to Windsor in 1917 due the rising temperament against Germans

So yes we have had a monarchy with german roots for nearly 400 years

Your original assertion may or may not be correct but you are also asserting the present monarchy continues to profit. The second assertion is much more tenuous than the first. You have yet to convince me. I know through history that the monarchy has "r@ped" THIS country of its assets, so to speak, when they ran the country, via taxes to pay for wars and buy luxuries (such as a certain Prince Regent). The monarchy has even been in debt I believe.

Oh, and as for being proud... Already stated my viewpoint.

Your arfument conveniently ommits the security protection force and their records of his whereabouts with them.

If he went to pizza express there would be report. So he should show it to support his case.

Your explanation about the photo is not clear?

If you like to have another go and refrain from personal insults I'm open to hearing what you have to say.

I dont share your opinion it is OK to disagree and I'm open to new information

Quite apart from all the way that Harry and Meghan decided to announce this decision to the world, I'm wondering just who actually wears the trousers in their relationship?

Methinks she is in control, has got herself placed into a financial nest-egg from which she can control her lifestyle, and has Harry wrapped round her little finger, as he coo's sweet nothings at her!

In time, she'll dump him and take him for every penny he has!

Ok, I really don't think you know what the definition of "profit" is.

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.
