    Counterpoint, and hear me out on this, we could force them to give up most of their family wealth (mostly gotten over the backs of the people and slavery) and make anything remotely like monarchy illegal. Have them earn their living like the rest of us plebs.

    Putting these kinds of people on a pedestal is pathetic.

      The Monarchy brings money into the UK because things associated with the Monarchy draws tourism. As long as the Royal Family is popular, it will draw crowds. That’s the reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are important. King Charles and Prince Williams don’t see this because of their dislike for Prince Harry and his wife. The UK government, however, must realize the couple is an asset.
