Gushing over royals

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Well yes, except that the Queen receives 10% of the Crown Estate revenues, surely enough to pay for her own decorating. And from where does the crown estate spring? Try looking first at the rape of the north by Williams men.

Like I said earlier, behind every great fortune lies a crime, royalty or not. Not sure it's fair to single them out as in any way different in that regard.

For a start you could try Alison Weir, historian. She maintains that they slept every night at Windsor, not Buck house

Next you'll be making the disgusting suggestion that they weren't subject to rationing like everyone else!

Because an antiquated historian says so does not make it true.
They slept there at weekends with there daughters and returned to Buckingham palace through the week.

Not been in this thread but can't get the thought of kate Middleton and water sports out of my head from the thread title.

Prince George starts school today. Prepare yourselves for an additional 48 hours of media "gushing".

No, I don't single them out. I have the same view on all the aristocracy.

This thread wretches with Cromwellian overtures and treason most foul.
When they play the national anthem at footie what pray ask do you sing ?

Put your mouses down and all stand please.

No, I think you were trying to be clever and failed.

Do your own research but I bet you £100 that their security bill is (again) more than covered by The Crown Estate's income.

No i wasn't.
The royals are sat on a fortune and don't seem to do anything good with it.
I'd take that bet if there was an accurate figure published but, surprise surprise, it's a secret. First google answer is £100m plus and that's from 2012.
I accept paypal.

So you want them to do something good with their own private money? Do you think the same of Aguero, Fowler, JK Rowling or are you just a busy **** with HRH?
