All this for the Duke of York, what a joke.
I was at the opening of the same place by Carwyn Jones and he turned up with just one aide!
The money we waste on the royal filth is a farce

Always a deceptive statement.
LONDON make billions in tourism. Not saying they should be dissolved but without them the tourism would still flow and The Palaces will still be there to visit.

The monarchy's modern influence is pretty much ambassadorial and ceremonial and a little research will show the Queen is still very well respected throughout the world; often being the 'ace in the pack' last resort to persuade other countries to do business with us.

Often after Prince Phillip has fu,caked the deal up, like when we were trying to get an oil deal with Nigeria and when their ambassador walked in, in full tribal dress and Phil said You look as if your ready for bed

As for the OP?
Well, all I can say is that I don't engross myself with the royal family anymore than they do me but I do respect what those at the top, the Queen in particular, bring to the country in both income and prestige, as well as the personal sacrifices they have to make when every single aspect of their lives are exposed, dissected and regurgitated into stories for the Press
The monarchy's modern influence is pretty much ambassadorial and ceremonial and a little research will show the Queen is still very well respected throughout the world; often being the 'ace in the pack' last resort to persuade other countries to do business with us. She is still very much in demand and even the irrepressible Donald Trump (another debate completely) is creaming himself to meet up with her!
But the biggest irony to me is that some of you people wanting to remove the royal family and rip the guts out of British heritage are the same ones who went hugely (and often offensively) vocal when a certain Vincent Tan tried to do the same to a certain football club!![]()
