36billion was what the Government spends.
Last I checked we only spend 36billion a year on the Military, which the Royal Family can afford (once you remove buying new equipment, etc) in fact I think they can afford to spend about 5 to 10billion on troops (pay) which is more than enough to fund an attack/Civil War.
the Crown retains the right to ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, but The Queen only exercises her ownership on certain stretches of the River Thames and its surrounding tributaries.

I don't know if anyone actually cares, but it's one of the only things I know about our Queen. I feel a little ashamed lol.

Shots, how much do you know about her role as head of the Commonwealth and Head of State for Australia and also the newer versions of the 'Defence of the Realm Act'?

Also, whislt we discuss the Queens powers, do you know she has the power to dissolve parliament (and all the other nasties she can do here) in Australia and Canada (plus others) if she so chooses. Wether or not they would listen is another thing and would probably fuel republican movements, but she could still give it a go!

[Also, I said Royal Family can afford it as well not the Queen].
In fact, right at this moment the Commonwealth of Nation's should be in Zimbabwe protecting the people there but they do not bother.
