    Let's forget these people are Royalty for a minute. And look at this as if they were your own family.

    The previous head of the family firm has died. And her eldest Son has taken over the running of the family firm.

    His youngest son used to work for the family firm. But then decided he didn't want to any more. Not only that, he has moved abroad, and spends most of his time slagging off the family firm.

    His latest complaint is that his Dad is no longer letting him have free use of 1 of the family firm's multi-million pound properties. The 1 in the country he no longer lives in. Might even be expecting him to buy his own house, or pay for his own hotel stays, from the £millions he has earned publicly slagging off his father, brother, and family firm.

    How entitled do you have to be to think that that is a bad thing?

    I think that Harry and Meghan were guilty of massively overestimating the sympathy they would receive from the general public.

    Absolutely NOT buddy, I have no love for the Royal Family but it would be yet another step in cancelling our history and our heritage. There's enough woke, snowflake, gen Z's trying to do that already.

    The Past History will always remain Charlie wants to slim down the Royals but needs to start with himself....... The Queen was the Scaffolding of this crumbling Monarchy if you wish to vote for this dysfunctional family then you would have the opportunity the same as those that wish it gone. just saying don't shot the messenger. fwiw

    That assumes that they wouldnt come if we didnt have them.

    Can anyone remember the time when the Government told us we will all get reduction in our Council & Income tax because it was such a great year for tourist coming to see Royal Family.
    Charles does not have the same stature or carisma that the Queen had and never will.
    The Loch Ness Monster bring in more.... hic!

    How often do you go to Buckingham Palace?

    Many people make the tourism point, but it would be very difficult to find out what percentage of the tourists would still come if we didnt have a Royal Family.
    I havent a clue, but there are many reasons to visit the UK besides the Royal Family.
    Do French people think that nobody would want to visit Paris, if they blew up the Eiffel Tower?

    Loads of tourists include a visit to the Royal Residences as part of their holiday, but I am sure loads dont.
