All the cutting edge cybernetics to power her mostly robotic body in her twilight years must have cost the taxpayer millions.

Then there's her reported 'extravagances' you pointed out with the gambling, roast swan sandwiches and gin by the bucketload.

No time for these parasites myself.

Royal families are throwbacks to a time before TV game shows

Damn you colonials externalise your envy in a most eloquent way.
The fact remains, however. The Uk makes more money out of you sad tourist twats that come to ogle the " changing of the guard", Buck Palace etc etc. than we pay the dear old girl for waving out of the back of a car.

Envy, the sauce that makes the meal taste good ?

Screw the money or the tourist attraction the cold fact is the Royals are a tradition that even a few Scots are proud of

They would have loved dolly parton world.

I thought the place went bust

They're a bunch of inbreds that Asians and Yanks appear to hold in a lot more esteem than the average Brit.

But then again, nowadays the average Brit's parents probably suffered under colonial rule.

If only we had a royal family like the Thai people!

I would gladly pay to support them!

This lot with defender of the faiths( ie the mudsime scum)

No thank you

Can someone translate this swamp crawlers prose into some form of intelligent language?

Cheap at twice the price, I say. Long live the queen.

Royals 'cost each taxpayer 66 pence'
Bloody good value that.

Have to agree with other posters that it is good value for money, considering that it is only 66 pence per year from each tax payer.

When you consider all the other amounts that we are taxed for and never see anything for it, then this pales into insignificance. This week paid out alone for petrol over £70 and about half of that is taxes, do I see any improvements on the roads, bloody joking aren't you.

Then there is the so called airport tax (green tax) for the privilege of flying somewhere, and loads of other hidden taxes.

Half the bloody taxes that we pay just seem to support the government of the time and all the 'jollies' that they want to have, creating a board to oversee the work of something, then managers to watch them and then another board to see if they are doing it wrong.

It should be noted that the Royal family all pay tax on their income.

40,000/0.66 = 60.6 million

Correction the royals cost 66pence for every man woman and child in the UK. The cost to each taxpayer has got to be about 2 pound each.

As a London tourist attraction it would be fairer if the bill were be picked up in entirety by the London City Council.

Eh up folks, lets not forget the amount of business generated by the truckloads of business peeps feeding off the goodwill to the UK resulting from the various Royal trips abroad. Especially if headed by the Queen.

The UK certainly gains from that.

At this rate, I'll be throwing a few more penny's in the hat and telling them to keep up the good work!

That is such utter rubish. you have to be a cretin to believe that.
Look at Her timetable.
She puts in more hours than any other CEO, and is payed less than the Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell!
She is loaded and could live of her investments.
Ask her if She likes to be a monkey in a cage?

"Queen Mum, do you like to be a monkey in a cage"?

The queen is not elected, we Brits get the queen, the yanks get George Dubya.

Democracy has its problems

conceded.

I really don't like most of the Royals, but lets be honest, 40 million quid really is fuck all. Cheaper than Christiano Ronaldo.

A bargain. I'm surprised how low the cost is actually.

Long Live The Queen

Royal spending over the past 12 months included the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall taking a £275,000 cruise around the Caribbean.

The anti-monarchy campaign group Republic said the true bill to the taxpayer would be nearer £150m a year if the costs of police and army security were included.

Taxpayers left with £40m bill to fund royals last year - Home News, UK - The Independent
