As long as they don’t ask me to help pay for it that’s fine. I don’ t care what it cost. It’s their money.

Beware, people still insist.....it's all about the little people, yeah sure...........They could have eloped imo but I guess the public circus was important to them.

The British Monarchy is a centuries old tradition. The children are born into it, learn their roles, the rules, their responsibilities, their duties.
I don’t think Princes, tend to run and elope.

I'm sure when the tourist dollars are tallied up, they are money ahead
From the size of the crowd and the happiness of the people, they don't begrudge the money spent
I once saw figures about how much the Royal Family costs the taxpayer every year, and it cost about the same as buying a pizza
No one ever seems to worry about anything, but money, not good ill, happiness, bonding with the family, all things like this matter . If people didn't want them ,they would be gone

I do wonder like i said in another post, where does all the money come from to keep their life styles, so many live in such luxury, and all the castles,and other housing they have ,diamonds ,cars ect.

The Queen uses some of her considerable fortune to support the family
The jewels have been gifts and inherited. The crowns belong to the state, as do the castles. The castle's in part , are open to the public for tourists, not the family quarters of course
Tourism is a big part of the British economy. I once read a report, that stated the tax bill for valium, cost more than what was allocated for the royals
Windsor castle is 1,000 years old. It would be there, Queen or not. It wasn't built for her

I am Canadian. We get a hefty bill each year to support the Royal Family. Many people think there are much more worthy causes than the Royal Family. When it comes up, it is always a debate.

The cost of up keep,and all else ,it must be extremely expensive, all is nice ,but i do wonder how it all is paid for.
