Yeah, Kate should rush to do the bidding of a bunch of Megan-stans on an anonymous forum. |
It keeps $50 million a year flowing into Royal coffers from Canada alone to start with. It's not cheap running a dozen palaces in a country the size of California. On top of the twenty-five or so other homes ranging from estates to shacks quietly owned by the Royal family/Crown Estate and rented or loaned out to third cousins, favorite nannies, servants, or private parties for profit. Like Fort Belvedere. https://www.royal.uk/royal-art-and-residences https://www.businessinsider.com/canadas-cost-to-support-the-royal-family-in-2015-2016-9 |
Cool, is this a recent fascination for you or have you always been worried about the royal family and how much it costs to run their estates? I would guess you only started being concerned in the past 3 years or so. |
Its a fun habit. More entertaining to follow than who the Kardashians are trying to harassing tomorrow. |
DP. I'm Canadian. I grew up knowing this stuff. Canadians are more and more resentful of the money sent to the monarchy. The Queen, people like. The others, not at all. |
Hilary Mantel basically said the same thing. She has extensively studied the history of the British royal family and her prediction is that it will last two more generations. |
that happened awhile ago. India is a republic |
Wasn’t that the whole plot of the King’s speech? |
I remember her predicting something else monumental and it actually happened. I wish I could find it. |
Read it again I never said she is lazy. Guess that is just your subconscious at work. Also there are many different things between poor and wealthy. |
DP. Alizee seems very accomplished so is it really that far fetched that her dad would be disappointed that she would end up with someone like James with no real career, no degree, and who has been quite public about his mental health issues? It has nothing to do with the relationship being a flash in the pan. |
Uncle Gary. He loves Kate and his sister. Also they vacation a lot at Pippa’s FIL place which I would assume would be a freebie. |
