£102.4 million

It bothers me when most people are finding it hard to fill their cars to go to work
I m not anti royal ( I could become so) but …..… it needs to be
a) hugely scaled down The Queen, Charles and camilla only NO ONE else on the payroll at all when Charles retires then William and co take over and go on the payroll
b) they need to pay for their own travel and meals etc they have money to open a dozen hospitals if they wanted
They could do so much good with their wealth instead of it all going into posh hanger ons bellies and businesses
I don’t like it
Some of the European countries with royalty are much much more casual and anyway
What is Royalty ? Just simply a fact of birth

I don’t usually join in royal threads but I’ve got my grumpy head on this morning. It’s a drop in the ocean. Manchester City signed one player, Jack Grealish for £100m last year, which puts it into context.

£4billion was wasted on unused PPE. That’s hardly been discussed on Gransnet, whereas the Royal Family is never without at least three interminable threads. They are worth £102.4 million just for the apparent joy people on here get from picking over the bones constantly.

Grany will be along to offer support, I’m sure.

It doesn’t bother me.

I would, but the majority still appear to want them, at least while the Queen is alive.
