[quote=Anonymous]If Kate and William don't want to do any actual work, then they can become like other European "bicycle monarchies." Why do the Waleses, who do less than half the engagements of King Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, need so many homes and so many vacations? A bicycle monarchy doesn't mean the Waleses move to council estates, because most European monarchies are still very, very, privileged, but it does mean they're less of a drain on the taxpayer. Except those other European monarchs actually do work they bicycle to, but that's a quibble. William's "small r" royalty is BS, because he wants that £23m/year in duchy income and the Sovereign Grant, but doing less work. Like having staff tweet for VJ Day a few weeks ago, which was a disgrace. A bicycle monarchy seems commensurate with how Kate and William view their own roles.[/quote]
