@sue mount Do some basic research and you'll find that the cost of keeping the royal family costs more to the taxpayer than the amount they bring in via tourism. Also, the price of a cup of tea isn't much on its own but it totals around four hundred million a year. Four hundred million donated to a family of free loading, over privileged parasites. Meanwhile, many ordinary hardworking people are having to rely on foodbanks so that their kids don't have to go to school hungry.
Infantile take. I'm not a monarchist but they literally have nothing to do with inflation or the affordability of homes. Blame the banks, and the people who flooded the country with immigrants, which increased the price and demand for homes.
I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here. Queen Elizabeth II was beloved by almost everyone. King Charles on the other hand just simply isn't, and that's partly because of what he did to Diana. Another factor is Queen Elizabeth kept her views Well hidden. That's the complete opposite with King Charles. And finally (cough cough) Camilla.
Honestly, I think he SHOULD show his opinions more. After all, the Queen was from a different generation. He should of course hold back on some, but he’s dealing with a different country now and people always want to know what is on everyone’s minds.
@@danielwhyatt3278 I have nothing against him showing his opinions. He is human after all. Especially on issues such as climate change since he is the reason it's become mainstream. In fact, I really do hope he does talk and express more of his views on climate change in the years to come. Politics on the other hand, probably not. I think history is pretty clear what happens to royals when they express political opinions. (Aka the abdication)

I don't want the monarchy to continue. A lot people don't. It makes me so angry that Charles was the Prince of Wales and he's not even Welsh. Same with Prince William and Kate. Also the fact that Andrew isn't in prison. For the disgusting things that he has done.
But there's another point to be aware of. Something that many people who live in a Monarchy system often forget. Calling a head of state King/Queen, or President of the Republic, doesn't change absolutely anything! The same palaces used by a Monarchy, become the residences of state of an elected Republic leader. We can see this in many countries around Europe. I'm Italian, and Italy once was a Monarchy, until 1946. The same huge palace inhabited by the Savoia royal family in Rome, The Quirinale, (the double bigger than Buckingham Palace) is now the humble 'house' of our President of the Republic. But apart from that, nothing has changed in terms of the money we pay to keep his Palace, servants footmen, lackeys, guards of honour with their horses, cars and motorcades of state, ceremonial butlers and so on...so isn't that much different than having a Monarchy. And I can assure you that our Republic costs us a lot more of money, than your Monarchy in the UK. And the same is, for Instance in Russia, where Putin officially lives in a Palace once owned by the Tzar, the Kremlin, or in France where President Macron live at the Elisee Palace, built by King Louis XV as a gift for his mistress Madame de Pompadour. So, even though the guy who lives in these palaces is not called "King" or "Queen" the rest is just the same, in term of costs and money we have to pay for their way of life. And sometimes, as here in Italy for instance, Republics costs us the triple (to say the least) than the British Monarchy. So, UK keep your Monarchy where it is now, for if you should get rid of it, Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle, will continue to cost you exactly the same, if not much more, becoming Presidential Palaces, rather than Royal Palaces. If UK should have a President, he would of course need a Palace in the Capital fit for his role, and what better place in London for a Presidential Palace, but Buckingham Palace? That's what happened here in Italy, the Quirinale is no more a royal Palace, but a Presidential Palace. But everything else it's exactly the same than before...so if you think that the Monarchy and its palaces and ceremonies are too expensive for you, think on what I've written.
Italian Presindents are elected even if not directly by the people . And they may not be relected after 7 years if they haven't been up to the task. They can't serve more than two terms anyway. Besides the staggering cost of the British monarchy ( and I'm counting only what people are allowed to know) is in no way comparable to the cost of presidents. Presidents don't own palaces and duchies . The Quirinal is a property of the State. We pay security, staff etc all right but presidents limit their role in representing the Country. We don't have to pay security all the time they go somewhere just to wave and shake hands. That's no job.
@@serenafoglietti1455 Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Holyrood Palace (the Monarch official residence in Scotland, not to be confused with Balmoral, which is a private property of the Windsor's Family since the days of Queen Victoria, and paid by the Royal Family's private fund) are the official residences of the Monarch, but they're not private properties of the Crown, they are owned by the State. They are given to the Monarch as official residences, but the real owner is the British State.
@@leonardobd6472 I'm talking about the costs difference between a Monarchy and a Republic. Not about the ereditary or elected power. And in both cases it is not the King or the President who detains the real power. But the Prime Minister and the Parliament. Don't forget that the UK is a CONSTITUTIONAL Monarchy, so the democracy and freedom of the people is not at stake at all. This is not the middle ages and the Monarch has not absolute power. The fact that UK's head of state is not elected doesn't mean nothing in practice. The same in Italy, where our President is elected by the Parliament, who in its turn is elected by the people, but his functions are much the same. In the ordinary life of the people this doesn't change absolutely nothing. And, just to point out, the British Monarchy economically sustains and patronise many charities and cultural foundations. I don't recall that the President of the Republic does the same. The Monarchy is near to the people, the King and before him his mother have visited every corner of their Nation, the President of the Republic in Italy has never come to visit my town. You know, the big difference between a Monarchy and a Republic is right this: a Monarch knows well that he was born to do that job. He's got no other choice, it's the entire purpose of his whole life. And he knows as well that his job is life long. So this makes a Monarch nearer to his people, 'cause his role doesn't have an expiration date. He must serve his people and his Country until his death. A President who's in charge for some years, and then he can retire to his private life, can't feel the same concern about the people of his Country, exactly because he's perfectly aware that his charge is temporary. With bad and good exception to both the systems of course. But a Monarch is like a father to his people, a President is like a nanny. A father is a father forever, a nanny is just a passing through figure. Furthermore a Monarch is not a politician. Though obviously he's got his own political opinions, which he must strictly keep for himself, he doesn't have a political background, he's never been associated with some political party. This makes a Monarch absolutely 'super partes', neutral and unbiased. The President, on the other hand, is a politician, he's been associated with a political party, and once in charge he should be neutral too, but is much more difficult for a politician to be so impartial. He'll always have sympathies for the parties to which he belonged. There are always some skullduggeries around a President. While a Monarch has nothing to do with the intriguing of the political world. So, for him it comes much more natural to be unbiased and near to his people. And just to point out, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are paid by the citizens taxes because, in case you aren't aware, they belong to the State, they're not private properties of the Royal Family. These palaces are the official residences of the Monarch, but the actual property is of the UK State. Precisely like the Quirinale here in Italy. Other Royal Family residences aren't paid with the people's money, since they are private properties of the Windsor Family, and they pay for that properties with their own private fund. To make it easier, if the King should decide to sell Balmoral Castle or Sandringham he could be perfectly entitled to do that, and the money he'd earned by the selling would go to his private fund. Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle could never been put on sale, since the actual owner of this palaces is not the King, Charles Windsor, but the Nation. Of which the King is the Head of State, and the official residences are 'loaned' to him by the Nation.

@@galatheumbreon6862 What are your sources? The true extent of all the assets of this family is a national secret. They don't pay taxes, so many of their wealth goes unaccounted. Unlike Elon Musk, who still needs to pay taxes and abide by laws against racism and sexism. And when Elon Musk's offspring gets their inheritance, the public won't pay from their pockets to throw up a national holiday with gilded carriages and stolen diamonds. Elon Musk didn't get rich by selling people for centuries, by putting 90.000 Kenyans into death concentration camps, by stealing every valuable piece of history from all over the world, etc. The ways the royal family became one are heinous, and if they had been a half-decent people, they should have given up any connections to that crimes and become normal business family, controlled by laws and paying taxes.

I don't have a problem with a European style monarchy, but we have a full blown feudal monarchy, vastly wealthy and owning huge amounts of land - a lot of which was stolen off others in the UK. Its time Wales got the crown lands back as Scotland did. Utterly ridiculous that the profits from offshore wind are directed to an unelected monarch. England is welcome to a feudal system if they choose to vote for it (the Tories!) but Wales and Scotland don't want that here. Its time for change - people are struggling to eat and heat their homes. Enough is enough, we're not serfs!
The King holds a weekly Audience with the Prime Minister to discuss Government matters. The Audience is entirely private. Though The King remains politically neutral on all matters, he is able to 'advise and warn' his ministers - including his Prime Minister - when necessary.
@@tabularasa7775 well that would be hard to erase as it is part of the planet for centuries or even before Christ. Many civilizations in history have invaded and colonized others. We can't judge the past based on 2023 values or ideas. Even now the USA invaded Afghanistan and Iraq 🤷♀️

For starters they neeever enslaved Canada, and second they don’t have a racism problem. They’re a family, NOT A GOD DAMN GOVERNMENT THAT NEEDS TO FOLLOW SOME KIND OF A MANIFESTO.
I always thought the Monarchy existed for the sole purpose of keeping a centuries long tradition, not because it is actually beneficial to economy or society. If they start changing and “adapting” to the modern times, that is literally breaking the tradition it kept for all these years. The Monarchy would immediatelly lose its only remaining reason for existing.
I mean the monarchy has changed a lot with history anyway. When the Normans first invaded there were no checks on the king's power until the Magna Carta. Then after the civil war and the death of Oliver Cromwell Charles II was only invited to return as long as he didn't interfere with parliament like his dad did before he was executed. A few decades later parliament installed an entirely new king with the glorious revolution and made it so the monarchs had very little political power. A few decades later again and George III made a deal with parliament where his debts would be paid in exchange for parliament receiving 3/4 of the income of the crown estate. Having the monarchy transition into more of a public institution than a private one has been entirely in keeping with tradition for centuries.

The Monarchy no longer holds overt political power but it does serve as a unifying symbol for the country. Not something people will appreciate during times of peace but I suggest you listen to the Queen's WW2 speeches.
The truth is, the monarchy is irrelevant to most Brits. They're a tourist attraction essentially. They create fodder for the tabloid media and help raise money and bring attention to charitable causes but that's about it. If you abolished the monarchy, they'd still be VERY wealthy people. The UK will still have their history and traditions. They'll still have the castles and jewels. They just won't have to spend millions of taxpayers dollars supporting them. But they'll still have to shell out millions to maintain all the properties, unless they turn Buckingham Palace into Graceland.
They should turn all the palace into a combo of museum and affordable apartments and make rf work for living for free no salary the rf should be made to greet all people at the museum enterance and take pictures with tourist
They say that the royal family might have a problem with diversity? Its because of the royal family this country is so diverse in the first place. Our colonial past was all in the name of the monarchy
A lot of people 😅 just don't get why we have royalty in the uk. " Democracy doesn't work sometimes." Sometimes, people need leadership without political ideologies ! History proves this a lot.
yes, and thats why we have other means of getting shit done than by pure democracy. we have law and order and the people we elect should make sure that the people dont forget about said laws and orders
As popular as a pork chop at a ber mitzvah..if Charlie horse doesn't hand off to will and kate in the next few years then he will be the last monarch of England!!.♥️🇬🇧🇺🇦
They are extraordinarily strange people. Harry is the only normal one. The entire concept of monarchy makes zero sense now - except those profiting on it. He has an amazing ability to reach teenagers? 😂😂😂
I think it's worth mentioning that for a lot of younger people, myself included, it doesn't really matter if Charles does or doesn't connect with us as a person or a monarch. The problem is that he's a monarch. It's not as easy to control information now the internet is around, and for me after seeing how things like the Duchy of Cornwall and Lancaster operate (predominantly as the primary funds for the King) and how exploitative those models are, as well as things like the paradise papers scandal, the whole issue with prince andrew, and the treatment of Harry and Meghan, it makes the monarchy seem dated, out of touch, and more than anything, functionally useless. Why have a king when you could have someone do the same job, only you get to choose them? I far prefer people like Michael D. Higgings to someone like the King.
It mattets when we pay for them to be carried in gilded carriages loaded with stolen diamonds across the closed London while nurses haven't seen pay rise for decades; when they don't pay taxes or don't abide by human laws, allowing them molest children with impunity and depriving their staff all normal human rights; when their palaces and stables and hunting dogs are maintained from our pockets. I don't want to pay for that!
Harry & Megan lied and now have made them more popular especially in America so it’s touch and go. If we had an elected head of stated it wouldn’t make a bit of difference to us. At least it keeps our country unique
I think it’s inevitable that a reckoning will come. William and maybe his son George will have to contend with a completely different world once or rather if they ever assume the throne.
I can understand why young people especially find the monarchy irrelevant. We live in unstable times politically, war has returned to the European continent, our NHS and public services have been slashed to expand a profiteering private sector, everything is so expensive and we're getting less in either quantity or quality for more money too. Unless you're very lucky to get a high-paying job, you can't live prosperously enough to buy a house, raise a family and make the same kind of money our parents made without hustling in content creation, successful crypto trading or being lucky to come from a family that can pass a lot of assets down to you. Who would want to celebrate a nation like that? There's also the anti-democratic nature of it. BUT, I do support the monarchy, because I think getting rid of it would be a similar expression of public frustration to Brexit. Yes it would upset some toffs, but it would strip us of a lot of our global soft power and it would hand power to an elected President who would no doubt end up being a corrupt Tory anyway. Is that really what we want? I'm grateful to have a head of state that can rise above all that, but they are essentially slaves to the pressure of newspapers and I want to see both them and us freed from that. The papers are the real entity running this country into the ground, and they don't tolerate us having the option to vote for a government that would go against their interests, so they slander them until they're ultimately rejected by the electorate.
Give them Balmoral, cash in all their land and riches, build a few million affordable homes, turn Buck Palace into a highly lucrative museum and then let's all have a party 🥳 🎉 👍

I am a foreigner living in the uk. Let the royal family be, why should you lot stop your culture and your way because of us immigrants. That’s how I see it. That’s how I would see it if this was my country. Keep the royal family, embrace your culture, and don’t let non-natives decipher YOUR culture.
It's a the same with other countries.

If I ever go to Japan I wouldn't want volunteer Geisha's all banned just because they are misogynistic or old fashioned. I think representative kings and queens are quite interesting in the 21st century providing they have checks in power and don't interrupt fair elections.

@@leonardobd6472 I'm talking about the costs difference between a Monarchy and a Republic. Not about the ereditary or elected power. And in both cases it is not the King or the President who detains the real power. But the Prime Minister and the Parliament. Don't forget that the UK is a CONSTITUTIONAL Monarchy, so the democracy and freedom of the people is not at stake at all. This is not the middle ages and the Monarch has not absolute power. The fact that UK's head of state is not elected doesn't mean nothing in practice. The same in Italy, where our President is elected by the Parliament, who in its turn is elected by the people, but his functions are much the same. In the ordinary life of the people this doesn't change absolutely nothing. And, just to point out, the British Monarchy economically sustains and patronise many charities and cultural foundations. I don't recall that the President of the Republic does the same. The Monarchy is near to the people, the King and before him his mother have visited every corner of their Nation, the President of the Republic in Italy has never come to visit my town. You know, the big difference between a Monarchy and a Republic is right this: a Monarch knows well that he was born to do that job. He's got no other choice, it's the entire purpose of his whole life. And he knows as well that his job is life long. So this makes a Monarch nearer to his people, 'cause his role doesn't have an expiration date. He must serve his people and his Country until his death. A President who's in charge for some years, and then he can retire to his private life, can't feel the same concern about the people of his Country, exactly because he's perfectly aware that his charge is temporary. With bad and good exception to both the systems of course. But a Monarch is like a father to his people, a President is like a nanny. A father is a father forever, a nanny is just a passing through figure. Furthermore a Monarch is not a politician. Though obviously he's got his own political opinions, which he must strictly keep for himself, he doesn't have a political background, he's never been associated with some political party. This makes a Monarch absolutely 'super partes', neutral and unbiased. The President, on the other hand, is a politician, he's been associated with a political party, and once in charge he should be neutral too, but is much more difficult for a politician to be so impartial. He'll always have sympathies for the parties to which he belonged. There are always some skullduggeries around a President. While a Monarch has nothing to do with the intriguing of the political world. So, for him it comes much more natural to be unbiased and near to his people. And just to point out, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are paid by the citizens taxes because, in case you aren't aware, they belong to the State, they're not private properties of the Royal Family. These palaces are the official residences of the Monarch, but the actual property is of the UK State. Precisely like the Quirinale here in Italy. Other Royal Family residences aren't paid with the people's money, since they are private properties of the Windsor Family, and they pay for that properties with their own private fund. To make it easier, if the King should decide to sell Balmoral Castle or Sandringham he could be perfectly entitled to do that, and the money he'd earned by the selling would go to his private fund. Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle could never been put on sale, since the actual owner of this palaces is not the King, Charles Windsor, but the Nation. Of which the King is the Head of State, and the official residences are 'loaned' to him by the Nation.

@@galatheumbreon6862 What are your sources? The true extent of all the assets of this family is a national secret. They don't pay taxes, so many of their wealth goes unaccounted. Unlike Elon Musk, who still needs to pay taxes and abide by laws against racism and sexism. And when Elon Musk's offspring gets their inheritance, the public won't pay from their pockets to throw up a national holiday with gilded carriages and stolen diamonds.
Elon Musk didn't get rich by selling people for centuries, by putting 90.000 Kenyans into death concentration camps, by stealing every valuable piece of history from all over the world, etc.
The ways the royal family became one are heinous, and if they had been a half-decent people, they should have given up any connections to that crimes and become normal business family, controlled by laws and paying taxes.

I don't have a problem with a European style monarchy, but we have a full blown feudal monarchy, vastly wealthy and owning huge amounts of land - a lot of which was stolen off others in the UK. Its time Wales got the crown lands back as Scotland did. Utterly ridiculous that the profits from offshore wind are directed to an unelected monarch. England is welcome to a feudal system if they choose to vote for it (the Tories!) but Wales and Scotland don't want that here. Its time for change - people are struggling to eat and heat their homes. Enough is enough, we're not serfs!

I always thought the Monarchy existed for the sole purpose of keeping a centuries long tradition, not because it is actually beneficial to economy or society. If they start changing and “adapting” to the modern times, that is literally breaking the tradition it kept for all these years. The Monarchy would immediatelly lose its only remaining reason for existing.
I mean the monarchy has changed a lot with history anyway. When the Normans first invaded there were no checks on the king's power until the Magna Carta. Then after the civil war and the death of Oliver Cromwell Charles II was only invited to return as long as he didn't interfere with parliament like his dad did before he was executed. A few decades later parliament installed an entirely new king with the glorious revolution and made it so the monarchs had very little political power. A few decades later again and George III made a deal with parliament where his debts would be paid in exchange for parliament receiving 3/4 of the income of the crown estate. Having the monarchy transition into more of a public institution than a private one has been entirely in keeping with tradition for centuries.

The Monarchy no longer holds overt political power but it does serve as a unifying symbol for the country. Not something people will appreciate during times of peace but I suggest you listen to the Queen's WW2 speeches.
It's not the only reason
Stop paying taxes to these supremacists.
Monarchy is Disney for adults and should be abolished
The monarchy is not going to make Britain 'great'. The people might do that, not the monarchy.
I trust the monarchy more than the government atm.
The truth is, the monarchy is irrelevant to most Brits. They're a tourist attraction essentially. They create fodder for the tabloid media and help raise money and bring attention to charitable causes but that's about it. If you abolished the monarchy, they'd still be VERY wealthy people. The UK will still have their history and traditions. They'll still have the castles and jewels. They just won't have to spend millions of taxpayers dollars supporting them. But they'll still have to shell out millions to maintain all the properties, unless they turn Buckingham Palace into Graceland.
They should turn all the palace into a combo of museum and affordable apartments and make rf work for living for free no salary the rf should be made to greet all people at the museum enterance and take pictures with tourist

They are extraordinarily strange people. Harry is the only normal one. The entire concept of monarchy makes zero sense now - except those profiting on it. He has an amazing ability to reach teenagers? 😂😂😂
I think it's worth mentioning that for a lot of younger people, myself included, it doesn't really matter if Charles does or doesn't connect with us as a person or a monarch. The problem is that he's a monarch. It's not as easy to control information now the internet is around, and for me after seeing how things like the Duchy of Cornwall and Lancaster operate (predominantly as the primary funds for the King) and how exploitative those models are, as well as things like the paradise papers scandal, the whole issue with prince andrew, and the treatment of Harry and Meghan, it makes the monarchy seem dated, out of touch, and more than anything, functionally useless. Why have a king when you could have someone do the same job, only you get to choose them? I far prefer people like Michael D. Higgings to someone like the King.
It mattets when we pay for them to be carried in gilded carriages loaded with stolen diamonds across the closed London while nurses haven't seen pay rise for decades; when they don't pay taxes or don't abide by human laws, allowing them molest children with impunity and depriving their staff all normal human rights; when their palaces and stables and hunting dogs are maintained from our pockets. I don't want to pay for that!
Harry & Megan lied and now have made them more popular especially in America so it’s touch and go. If we had an elected head of stated it wouldn’t make a bit of difference to us. At least it keeps our country unique
About as popular as testicular cancer.
I think it’s inevitable that a reckoning will come. William and maybe his son George will have to contend with a completely different world once or rather if they ever assume the throne.
Doubt it
Yes I think there might be a King George but in a much more low key form
I can understand why young people especially find the monarchy irrelevant. We live in unstable times politically, war has returned to the European continent, our NHS and public services have been slashed to expand a profiteering private sector, everything is so expensive and we're getting less in either quantity or quality for more money too. Unless you're very lucky to get a high-paying job, you can't live prosperously enough to buy a house, raise a family and make the same kind of money our parents made without hustling in content creation, successful crypto trading or being lucky to come from a family that can pass a lot of assets down to you. Who would want to celebrate a nation like that? There's also the anti-democratic nature of it. BUT, I do support the monarchy, because I think getting rid of it would be a similar expression of public frustration to Brexit. Yes it would upset some toffs, but it would strip us of a lot of our global soft power and it would hand power to an elected President who would no doubt end up being a corrupt Tory anyway. Is that really what we want? I'm grateful to have a head of state that can rise above all that, but they are essentially slaves to the pressure of newspapers and I want to see both them and us freed from that. The papers are the real entity running this country into the ground, and they don't tolerate us having the option to vote for a government that would go against their interests, so they slander them until they're ultimately rejected by the electorate.
Having a King is 10 better than having a complete nobody as President.
