I suspect you already know that her wealth is inherited through the family.

aww Tom, i don't blame Anericans, i like Americans. If you are referring to my earlier comment then that was merely observational regards perceived outcomes where divorced Amercians get involved with the Royal family. Don't be so sensitive.

"Mental health issues' indeed. That thought kept running through my mind as I watched the interview.

You sure don't splash to many of those pesky periods around do you.

Well done sir.

Any more Love Island threads coming up starring Junior?

How's he getting on?

Harry's predicament makes a good case for arranged marriages. Megan (not a good name for a royal) had trouble written all over her and everyone knew it.

Im surprised they didn't arrange a car crash to prevent this.

And btw this has nothing to do with race. If Merkel is a black lady then I am blind

Royal worth?

There has long been a debate over the worth and cost of the monarchy, which brings in tourism revenue to the country, but also comes at a cost to the British taxpayer.

The royal household receives income from what’s known as its Crown Estate — land and properties belonging to the queen, such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, open to the public during normal times and which bring in revenue — as well as what’s called the Sovereign Grant.

The single grant is money paid by the government to enable the queen to “discharge her duties as head of state,” the government says, but it also supports other senior royals’ official duties such as overseas visits, hospitality and public engagements.

In exchange for these public funds, however, the queen has to surrender revenue from the Crown Estate to the government, which in turn calculates how much money makes up the grant.

Explaining how the Sovereign Grant works, the government noted last year that: “In exchange for this public support, the Queen surrenders the revenue from The Crown Estate to the government which for 2018-19 was £343.5 million.

The Sovereign Grant for 2020-21 is £85.9 million which is 25% of £343.5 million.”

The sovereign grant for 2018-2019 amounted to £82.2 million ($107.1 million), up from £76.1 million in 2017-2018, which was equivalent to £1.24 per person in the U.K.

Currently, the royal family will cost every Brit (on a population total of 66.8 million) £1.28 per year.

That’s not much given that the royal family does attract visitors to the U.K., with tourism agency Visit Britain reporting back in 2017 that tourism linked to royal residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle adds up to 2.7 million visitors a year.

It’s hard to pinpoint how many visitors come specifically to the U.K. because of the monarchy, however.
Royal weddings, including Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials in 2018, were also seen as bolstering U.K. tourism, adding hundreds of thousands of visitors, and giving a boost to gross domestic product.

Both princes’ weddings brought about a boon for U.K. tourism and the economy. Again though, weddings involve extra security and spending that ultimately falls on taxpayer’s shoulders; Harry and Meghan’s wedding reportedly cost about $42.8 million with a large part of the budget spent on security and extra policing, while William and Kate’s 2011 wedding reportedly came at a cost to the taxpayer of £20 million, or around $27 million.

The anti-monarchy campaign group Republic contests the idea that the monarchy is a boon for U.K. tourism, saying there is no evidence to back up such claims.

Her Maj speaks:

Queen Elizabeth II is saddened by the challenges faced by her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, and takes their allegations of racism in the royal family seriously, Buckingham Palace said Tuesday.

"The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning," the palace said in a statement released on the queen's behalf.

"While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members," the Palace said.

Yet here you are commenting a thread with quite a clear title as to what it's about - you must be proud. Speaking you missing threads on knickers, tits and electric motorbikes, why don't you post more threads on you walking your dog? Edgy . . .

Yup, and the rest of them . . . 'oh, but one serves the people' . . .
