Careful there GrannyGravy13 or you'll be accused of 'virtue signalling'!
Good on you, I wish I could do the same and would if I had the dosh.
I've never agreed with the monarchy as an institution and this goes right back to my early teenage years.
But I bear the individual royals no ill will at all. They cannot help who they are and what families they were born into any more than I can.
I'd like to bet many of them find the restrictions imposed upon them quite stifling sometimes and royal protocol has ruined many lives, sadly.
I do resent the sort of money, goods and services they can command when so very many people in their realm are in dire need - but what, practically, can they do about it?
The Queen can't sell off her castles and jewellry to give to the poor.
It's my understanding, although I could be wrong, that pretty much everything she has is owned by 'the country' and not by her personally.
I have simply never understood anyone's hero worship of the royal family, nor of celebrities and the seemingly endless need to know everything possible about their lives.
It is literally beyonf my comprehension.
Australia and New Zealand may have HM Queen as Head of State but she takes no part whatsoever in the way these countries are run.
She or her offspring pop in occasionally to make sure we're still here and we bow and scrape until they fly off again.
Then we go back to governing ourselves quite nicely thankyou.
