@torunn saidI'm referring to money the family didn't earn, like the hordes of taxpayer money spent subsidizing their lifestyles.
There are many people in the world who were born rich. Their parents might have worked hard to obtain a wealth but their children might never learn how to manage money and make money work. You may be right in saying that the royal families have much money undeservedly, but I wouldn't say that they are not needed.
@shallow-blue saidWhich of them had their wedding paid for by taxpayers?
You mean, like... George W Bush? Or Kennedy Junior? Or Donald "bankrupt my father's fortune" Trump?

@divegeester saida lovely couple
The pair continue to systematically disenfranchise themselves from British support with Harry managing today to get virtually the entire news media over here calling his behaviour anything from deluded to narcissistic over his recent comments claiming he is protecting the Queen by making sure she has the right people around her, people she can trust and pulling on the mem ...[text shortened]... compelling black comedy.
What is the general opinion of the couple in the country you are based?
too much in love
for the dried up queen

@divegeester saidThey're just another celebrity couple to me. I don't really care.
What do you think of “Harry & Meghan”?
I will say that it's admirable Harry is willing to stand by his wife even to the point of losing Royal status. As a prince, he should have no trouble finding a beautiful woman, yet he gave it all up out of his devotion to her.
Out of all the "fairytale weddings" associated with the Royal Family, that one is the real fairytale romance; a man who'd give up his royalty for his lady.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWell said Ghost - Bang on👍
Or perhaps you simply have a poor understanding of the British Royal family and how they bring in much more to the economy than they cost.
It costs each Brit something like £1.25 a year (67 million in total) while they bring in an approximate 600 million through tourism etc.
@shallow-blue saidThe people democratically voted out - such sour grapes, now Europe/Brussels cant $iss away of 3 billion of tax payers money. That's why big nose Marcon is crying, oh by the way Germany/France what's there contribution to the Ukraine.
s/since/who caused/
I know off topic🤷♂️ Megan-Vanity/fame, Harry-deluded/greed. Remember Harry going to a party once in a SD/ Brown shirt in Nazi regalia, Meghan I literally have never see her act apart from now - Both are an utter disgrace...
