[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My answer is shaped by the fact that years of my tax money went to maintaining this family of grifters.  I think the monarchy has to go.  These people are parasites, Camilla included.  [b]Her only accomplishment is her relationship with Charles, and she doesn’t deserve to be maintained for that.[/b]

If she weren’t a grifter living off the public purse, I would view her merely as a physically unattractive, not very bright woman married to an ugly, unintelligent man who selfishly put his own needs over those of his small children.  [/quote]

Honest question here - none of the consorts have done anything consequential in the UK. So what were you expecting? [/quote]

DP: Would you view the Duke of Edinburg Award as something significant? (I genuinely don’t know the extent of its impact.)
Many members of the family are very involved in charitable endeavors, raising money and calling attention to specific causes. Do the benefits— tangible and intangible— seem to at least balance out the costs?

Sure but I don’t see anything tangible from the female consorts at all. Phillip was an exception - not only a man but a Navy Commander who went on tours for half a year away at a time on his own. He wanted to establish his independence. I don’t see anything similar from Elizabeth’s mother, grandmother or her daughter-in-law. [/quote]

I’ve been told that the Queen Mother was instrumental in helping people keep their spirits up during WWII. I realize that’s probably both arguable and intangible, but I can see a huge value in that.  I’m imagining, for example, what these past two years might have been like with a small number of familiar, reassuring, and even trusted voices, united in providing guidance and support and perhaps a shared identity as we’ve stumbled through COVID.

As for the other consorts, if you value what the monarchs themselves do, I guess it’s not a huge step to value the small number of people who support them in ways that allow them to do their jobs more effectively.  I’m not arguing either way though.

The Queen Mother managed to get her sickly husband to donate enough sperm so that she could be artificially inseminated and add vigor to the weak German line.  She died at 101 and her husband died at 57.   [/quote]what?[/quote]

Yes, what?! With the turkey baster? Or whatever they use, as they don't have Thanksgiving.[/quote]
