Ah but if you read my post carefully you will see that I only mention Princess Anne and the Queen as behaving with dignity. I didn't specify what a slimmed down royal family would be but I can't see any problem with William . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was on salary, but yours is valid on any extras received in the course of employment. I’m always going to be biased against the Royal Family though and will support those who want out. I dont even want them out. I'm totally indifferent to them to be honest. But Megan does stink of narcissm and entitlement. If they do infdeed want to give up the responsibilities then they should totally give up any property/money from the Royal purse aswell. Seems they're trying to have their cake and eat it. Terrible media or not, the public won't ever accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit harsh to complain about his behaviour without anything other than weak rumours. Im not a royal defender btw. Charles i also have sympathy for, clearly in a loveless marriage. He should have been allowed to marry camila originally. I don't think he was the only one who cheated during the marriage, infact its not too much of a stretch to believe he has brought up another mans son.

Not sure the evidence is compelling enough though to state as fact that his behaviour was far from dignified. Can't believe you have mentioned Charles or William and not Andrew. There is clearly far more substance to the rumours he has behaved poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have to be careful with what you hear, but it just seemed that there was far too much smoke at the time (not reported by the mainstream media) for there to be nothing behind it. Anyway, I don't really care. Alleged infidelity is way, way down the list of problems I have with the existence of a monarchy in the 21st century.

Personally i wouldn't be too trusting of someone who posts something then deletes it. If he knew it to be true and could prove it there is no reason to delete it The only reason for deleting it in my view is that he knew he couldn't substantiate it and likely untrue.

ariotofmyown Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Why does no one ever give the queen the stick she deserves? Her mum was a racist, she married a racist and she is on film doing Nazi salutes. I know she was a kid then, but she has spent a long time hanging around with people with vile views. She doesn't seem the greatest of mothers as she made Charles marry someone he didn't want to, plus Andrew has ended up to be one of the most grotesque people not be an actual convicted criminal. Her behaviour when Diana died was shocking too, eventually submitting to public pressure not to look heartless. I couldn't give a toss about this Harry story, but no doubt she screwed that up too. Just because she has been around for a long time doesn't mean she deserves any respect. It anyone thinks she is worthy of respect just because she is queen, I hope you afford the ever unpopular Charlie the same regard when he gets to finally s(h)it on the throne.

Now that is a very one sided view. There are many arguments to support the Queen. Am I the only one on this forum to recognise that Princess Anne is actually an extremely hard working Royal and a credit to her mother. There are countless example of the good the Queen has done. If you think I am pro Royalty I'm not but I do believe you need to look at the full picture of someone. Nobody is perfect and I suspect most of us at time have behaved badly.

From my point of view certain members of the Royal family court celebrities, going on holidays with people such as Elton John and seem to invite interest from the press by the life they live and the company they keep. Princess Anne on the other hand is the most hard working Royal who behaves with dignity like her mother the Queen. As regards Megan and Harry they can go but I don't see any reason for the tax payer to fund their security or fork out any more money on housing improvements. A very much slimmed down Royal family who behave with dignity and work hard has got to be better. I'm trying to imagine how unmitigatingly awful a holiday with Elton John must be. I don't blame them for wanting to hide on a trailer park after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Never been a monarchist, never will be, but for the sake of balance, the Royal Household was paid £67 million last year by the UK Government whilst Forbes reports that the British monarchy contributes nearly £1.8 billion to the UK economy annually, including £550 million in tourism. It's also worth pointing out that funding for the Sovereign Grant comes from a percentage of the profits generated by the Crown Estate. Having never met either Harry or Meghan, I've no idea as to their characters. What I've heard are nothing more than the mealy-mouthed outpourings of a press corps that sees nothing problematic in the way they go about their business, yet seemingly decries anything and everything H & M do. Their hypocrisy is nothing short of astounding. Quite how prize weapons like Piers Morgan are unable to see the immense irony of a scenario whereby a collective of typically disingenuous scumbags character assassinate a young couple for little more than being born into a certain family, is quite beyond me, as is the frankly hysterical reaction from some members of the public.
