royal birth.......

Seems to me the H.M.the Queen isn't that much different than one or two "Accywebbers" she lives in a council house , has a load of kids with a foriegn born chap (though she did marry him) , probably doesn't even have to pay council tax since she lives on benefits (govt. handouts) ,
Maybe not though , how many of the above can say they have carried out over 400+ civic duties a year for the past 50 odd years without ever calling in sick, and looking cheerfull all the time even though they are now in their 80s .
The idea of a Cherie Blair type (dressed up as a Spanish Infanta or Eva Peron in virginail white to meet the pope) as first lady of the UK is laughable

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ah, so that's why you slung your hook and cleared off to a foreign country. Why don't you come back here to one of the highest taxed countries in the world and contribute to her upkeep?

Let's see........... how old is the Queen now? Well past retirement age isn't she? And still working hard as a representative of our country abroad. The Royal Family is known as "The Firm" for good reason. They don't just sit there on their rear ends and have life handed to them on a plate. They are far more of an asset than a liability. Yes it's a far more lavish lifestyle than any of us on here are ever likely to have but I wouldn't want to swap. The Civil List is nowhere near as long as it used to be, and I agree with that. There comes a point where some lesser royals need to earn their keep because they are far less significant than those closest to the throne. I think it would be a sad day indeed if we ever became a republic.
 
Well said willow..........must admit I am not a royalist but I do think they have a place in our country, and the Queen is the one who does the best job of all........no one can say that she doesn't fly the flag ( Union Jack ) that is. :D

She certainly is. So what's the point of keeping her and Phil the Greek in unbridled luxury in Buckingham Palace? Stick the pair of them in a home for the bewildered and open Buckingham Palace to the public full time and make some money out of the place.
