Thread: The Reign of King Charles III begins

What does paying the royals cost British taxpayers?

"Out of pocket? Honestly, not much—collectively, that is. In 2018, it cost each average British taxpayer about 65 pence a year, according to Fast Company. So less than a dollar. Even with the cost spiking by 41 percent in 2019, per Business Insider, the individual taxpayer still pays cup-of-coffee money. An artisanal, organic cup of coffee."

I'm neither pro royal nor anti royal, but they bring in a ridiculous amount of money each year in terms of tourism (see that Fast Company link above). Be anywhere in the world on Monday 19th and I guarantee her funeral will be the headline show on the telly.
