What do you want Prince Will's to do? Not get married and give up all of his personal wealth? I don't understand why people moan about it? It's the way it is and getting yourself concerned about the couple of quid it's going to personally cost you isn't going to change anything mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steveS.Yorks 161 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I find it amusing that Americans go nuts over our royalty? They are just expensive figurheads these days i suppose,nothing clever about having to support them financially to my mind? And ironically a lot of modern day Americans will be more Anglo-Saxon genetically than our royal family. Ill give it a miss. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely....i totally agree with both your posts Mr.aft...... What do folk want him to do go get a job as a steel erector or plasterer.....if you dont like the monarchy thats fine but coming out with shit like " they wont need any luck " and bla bla bla...what a stupid thing to say ! As for all the money its going to cost the tax payer....give or take a penny i think it works out to around 47 pence per person......if your that hard up that you need to whinge about 47 pence theres a lot more for you to worry about than a royal wedding !

And ironically a lot of modern day Americans will be more Anglo-Saxon genetically than our royal family. Ill give it a miss. Those same Americans pump billions into our country every year as tourists when they come over here to have their photo taken in front of the palace or with a palace guard, way more than it costs us to keep them. The royals make plenty of money themselves BTW, they are the largest landowners in the UK.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scalesntails 118 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Personally not fussed and I doubt I will watch it. However I think it's nice that the day is a holiday for all the people that do want to watch it. I personally can't see how the royal family are any more special than the rest of us but even though they spend a chunk of taxpayers money each year they actually raise far more income for the UK than they spend through tourism so they easily pay their way.

That's it mate, besides the tax payer is paying for the security, the Royals are paying for the wedding themselves. so what do they do for this country, they couldnt even stop the hunting ban hate the feckers Well off the top of my head, Prince Harry has set off to the North Pole with ex service men who were wounded and lost limbs in Afghanistan. He's a Patron of the "Walking With the Wounded" charity, and seems pretty passionate about helping our lads who have been severely injured. What do you do for our fallen and wounded Soldiers? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
