Personally I don't see why we have to pay for them - they've got enough money of their own! All those millions could go to pensioners who struggle to keep warm in the winter as far as I am concerned!!
The only argument you get back from royalists is because of all the tourism they bring in - well then get businesses to pay for them not us!
Sorry for ranting in your thread Mags!

Think it was published this week that the Royal family costs each of us 61p a year, far to much for some
