Honestly its not really the topic of the thread so am not going to get into it other than to say that if you add up what they cost the UK taxpayer (again a packet of Jaffa-cakes a year per person) then when you look at the income they provide to the UK it more than makes up for their cost to the taxpayer.
Again Royal financing is quite complex don't really want to get into that very dull rabbit hole but am sure you're a clever enough chap with a internet connection who can read up all about it if you really wanted to.

I ask myself, who would i rather have as Head Of State of my country ?
A woman who has class, education, social graces and respect from around the world.
Or a loud mouth President who lacks all the above.
The answer is an easy one.

The queen is not the one who responsible for any of that.
I mean I am no royalist but let’s get facts right.

She has the power to change any laws, instead she sits back comfortably while the politicians take the heat.

Even if it didn’t the royal head of state is just a symbolic role I don’t think that would ever be a issue but fair enough.
Am not a royalist, let me emphasise that I hate the idea in many ways but like I said let’s keep to facts

Well, for one thing, Trump makes his own money through business, he doesn’t take tax dollars and buy a golden toilet. Did you really miss that point?
