I contribute to the upkeep of the Royal Family…I consider the 69p that it cost me last year to be money well spent.
Perhaps the so called “royal family” should become a registered Charity so the public has the choice if they want to contribute to these parasites life of luxury.
I expect you’ll soon be having to pay more than 69p to keep them in the style to which they have become accustomed. At the moment we have no choice but to contribute. I suspect if it was voluntary then they wouldn’t be getting nearly as much.
Would you donate if they asked for £5 to £10 per month or would you rather spend it in your own family?

And exactly what power does the monarch in this country have?
The post of Prime Minister has more power than the Queen and her successors will ever have.
She pays lip service to the will of Parliament. She is just a token Head of State and a bloody expensive one at that.
She has the power to dissolve Parliament.
Ty Terry – at least someone else knows what they are talking about! :) and just for the sheer hell of it LOL and :lol:
Do you contribute to the upkeep of the Royal sroungers or do you pay towards the French coffers?

It’s purely ceremonial and she will never do it of her own accord She will only do that on the request of the outgoing prime minister.
If it were true the monarch had such power then why didn’t Edward VIII dissolve parliament instead of being forced to abdicate by it?

I’m only interested in the monarchy when it’s abolished and we become a Republic.
It’s becoming an established pattern.
