Its the only role she's ever known. She was bon into it. Yes, silver spoon if you like. They know no different. Dinny geez "its a shame" pish! She's never wanted a day in her life nor will her offspring or their offspring etc.

 

Country of sycophants!

 

I didn't see any disrespect on this thread. She's an old woman not wonderwoman! She is at the twilight of her years but lets be honest, he years have been better than most folks. Be sad when she passes but no more so than any other female human being that age.

 

Her position on the other hand...

She's also been able to give it up for a life of simple luxury at any time.

I'm not feeling sorry for someone with those life choices.

 

Well said sir.

See the whole 'life of luxury and wealth' argument - it is certainly valid but think of it this way if you may....her entire life is owned.  Her entire days are owned and out of her control.  Everything she does is part of her role.  She can barely do anything she chooses.  She will have no privacy or at least struggle to get any.  

 

I can barely stand speaking to someone for 2 minutes and doing the small talk - she has been doing this everyday for near 70 years.  Constantly in the company of that chosen for her.

 

All the wealth in the world would not want me to have that life.  And she can't do anything with her wealth.  It is not as if she can have a car boot sale or Sotheby's auctions.

 

It must be so hard. Staying in palaces and castles wherever she goes, travels in style, sampling the best in everything that the world has to offer.

Sycophants and crawlers at every turn making her feel that she is someone special. Treating her beloved subjects with nothing but contempt.

You never hear her offering to give up any of "her" wealth back to the people she stole it from, the people who actually need it.

That's before we even get on to her entire family of leeches and hangers on, then there's Prince Andrew...

 As I have stated I am from an age I am sure you never lived in. Men were men, and often insult was resolved by an agreement to settle differences by doing so physically, I do regret I sometimes fall back into these days.  I make no secret of whom I am, where I am and what I have been. I have differences of opinion with some on here, but generally respect their views and responses. I however find it difficult to deal with someone who certainly by the present user name is totally new to the web page. Your whole motivation seems to be to disturb, and that I am sure is your right, you have an answer you think for everything that shows your self considered superiority, but sir, with no respect I consider you an anonymous coward, with considerable feelings of low esteem, and take pleasure in insulting, criticising and just being an absolute nuisance. There was a day when I would love to have got the jaicket off with you, but now  get satisfaction from knowing that you no doubt suffer in your loneliness when you realise who and what you are. A parasite. Please excuse any grammatical, or punctuation, I never had the senior years of education that you probably had I was in foreign climes serving my Queen, God Save The Queen.

Of course, but the point anyway was that it's nonsense to say the royal family brings in money from tourism.

 

She is personally a very rich woman, but she doesn't own the Crown Estates.

I'm honestly not sure at this stage if you are deliberately trolling me or auditioning for a role on Russia Today...

 

The point I was making is that the Royal Family generate tourist income for the wider UK economy, they are a massive draw. Look at the deal 'Ginge and Winge' did with Netflix, reported to be around $100m and they are but a mere subsidiary of the firm and not even in direct line to the throne. Harry didn't secure this deal based on his intellect or acting abilities on that we should be able to agree. The Royal family are box office whether you like that or not, I'm clear you don't.

 

On the narrower point you are now making they do indeed bring in money directly from tourism; https://www.rct.uk/visit

 

The Queen is the reigning monarch and owns it (my original point was the far narrower one that 'we' do not own it but whatever);

 

The Crown Estate is though owned by the Monarch in right of the Crown. This means that the Queen owns it by virtue of holding the position of reigning Monarch, for as long as she is on the throne, as will her successor. Responsibility for managing The Crown Estate is trusted to us, under the Crown Estate Act, and the Queen is not involved in management decisions.

She doesn't personally own it and they don't bring in anything.

The Crown estate is tasked with generating profit for the Treasury for the benefit of the nation’s finances, not for the queen.

 

A lot of the buildings bring in tourism, but that's not what we're talking about.

It seems calling another person a parasite isnt dehumanising.

 

But it's ok someone said it first.

 

Do you agree that to refer to a person or a group of people could be dehumanising ?

As a parasite or parasites.

I can never work out why people are happy to support a monarchy that says and does nothing to support any of its subjects who are suffering extreme poverty. 

Sell a couple of paintings and show real intent in helping out. 

They dont care about us why should we care about them. 

Yes they are parasites, they don't realise how lucky they are instead they moan about how busy they are

they don't appreciate the struggles ordinary people have. 

On a personal level I will have sympathy when the queen dies but no more than for any other stranger. 

I will not be sitting in the house with a black armband on, if its summer time I will cut the grass or walk the dog, if they cut the TV off I will play 🎶 instead.

Aye but think about how much poorer those families living in poverty, relying on foodbanks and living in shit substandard housinh would be if it wasnt for all the money the queen and her family bring into the country.

I dread her passing and the saturation media coverage that will follow.

 

Nothing newsworthy will happen in the world in the weeks/months afterwards. Not on British telly.

 

Boris the PM and Charles the King simultaneously is a sobering prospect. Thank goodness Trump has gone. I don't think the planet could survive that hat-trick.
