Just for you. Liz doesn't own the Palace, the Monarch owns the Palace, the Crown Estate doesn't belong to Liz, it belongs to the Monarch. The crown estates profits will be used to pay for it's upkeep. Therefore the Monarch will be paying.

The support for the Monarchy over the last 60 years or so is based solely on people's respect for the current monarch.
Once she's gone the existence of this archaic class based institution will again be open to question and at risk.
The institution has been good at re- inventing itself to make it appear relevant but there will be many crises ahead which will cause people to question it's relevance.
Just one crisis could prove fatal, and once it's gone it's gone.

The crown estates profits

The Crown estates as you say, should not be owned by the crown . It should be either free land or owned by the government to be used as revenue for the country.

Strange that we can find the money for this but can't home the homeless, provide free university education, finance the NHS and have to provide access to Foodbanks

We can find money for this as it's coming from the Crown Estate only paying 75% of its profits to HMRC for ten years as opposed to the usual 85%.

This may have been mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread.

You should feel more ashamed that you quite obviously haven't read up on the subject.

As long as Liz funds it from her 15% sovereign grant I don't have a problem with that ( alternatively she could even increase revenue by allowing more visitors to the Palace or flog off a couple off assets from her 10bn portfolio). Simples.

Not sure whether or not you have a problem with it is high up on the list bud.

85% of its profits are used thus.

For ten years it will be 75%.
 
I have been a republican since serving in the Army. You would get some privileged Rupert, who would be absolutely useless at his job, put in charge of a professional group of men. It makes you think.
