I doubt if the queen has ever had a duster in her hand let alone loaded a washing machine and then ironed the contents.

There are plenty of working people don't spend 8 hours a day working and who do have proper lunch breaks. There are also working people who employ cleaners to do their housework and have never pushed a vacuum cleaner or held a duster. Because they pay someone else to do that- and that gives someone else a job. The Royal Family have many employees. Would you want them to be out of work?
