Should tax money be supporting the royal family

how dare harry presume to sponge off gran and dad, who earned their money the proper way by being born into the monarchy

i mean the underlying if unstated argument is the thread's argument: "we pay for them, they must dance to our tune"

'we pay for them, they must dance to our tune at the end of a rope' is how i break my underlying argument down to an extent tbrrwu

*revolutionary fistbump*

Oh noes, they're giving up their HRH titles!

They must realize that even after all this hoohaw the tabloids won't back off one inch.

"giving up" may not be entirely voluntary. still, my heart bleeds.

Does it look like they quit over paedo Andy?

lol no

they wouldn't have even got to know him that well until they had some pre-pubescent children in their house tbf!

That's unfair, as far as we know he's only raped pubescent children.

yeah ..that's the story he told his mum!

Not much difference tbh. To me it proves Harry actually is Charles' son, eyes two centimetres apart is a Saxe-Coburg family trair.

yeah, the "hewitt is his da" thing is a lot of pish, would be a lot less of an ugly bastart if cha wasn't his da

my culture wars hot-take is: do the fucking lot of 'em in - in very messy romanovs painting the walls in a dark cellar stylee, including miss marple!

"It is a pity the royals aren't what they once were, I wonder if its worth doing away with the ones that aren't the Queen and letting the public vote on their replacements"

that democratically-elected queen in full

The Queen is alright but the rest of them are all just part of the establishemnt, Harry and Meghan proving that but what can you expect, The Queen is the only working class one in there, the others havent got a clue!

My worry is if the royal family completely lose touch with their working class roots, as seems likely, whether the institution is strong enough to survive

Prince Andrew seems really unlucky in his choice of mates

Maybe the Queen will cark it in January while the country is already at a standstill.

Not sure Phil has another year in him tbh.
