[quote=Anonymous]A few items

1) None of you know these people.  You can't tell anything about their character from expressions in press photos or their outfits.

2) In 20 years, Harry and Meghan are Andrew and Fergie.  In 40 years, Charlotte and Louis are Andrew and Anne. 50 years ago, the late princess Margaret was the headliner; most of you would struggle to identify a photo of her.

3) Kate and William are concentrating on their family.  I think the Queen wants them to, since she probably blames her own absentee parenting for her children's general failure at human relationships.

4) The royals don't get a ton of money from the taxpayer, but they do get to live in those palaces tha the taxpayer has to maintain.  The Queen pays for stuff like Eugenie's wedding from her personal fortune, or the income she gets from the Duchy of Lancaster.  Prince Chaz pays for Harry and Meghan out of his income from the Duchy of Cornwall.

If they abolished the monarchy tomorrow, the taxpayer would get inheritance taxes on all of the Windsors' cash, which would drag them down to upper middle class in 2-3 generations. The taxpayer would also get the income from the Duchies on Lancaster and Cornwall.  The income isn't that much (tens of millions) but the government could develop all  of that land as they see fit.  The security costs would go away, and they could open the palaces to the public so they could be more self-sustaining.[/quote]
