I would have thought the amount of tourists that come to this country to see our royal family and the money they then spend would make it worth while to have them ............as I see it she works for what she gets and can spend it how she likes.................... |

I would agree, I would hate to have a president that we had to elect every 4 years (costing us a fortune). When you look at some of the recent heads of state in other countries it makes me shudder that we could ever go down that road. |

Buck House,didnt become a Royal Home till 1837 to Queen Vic,and was then sanctioned by the govenment to be the home of then and future Kings/Queens,..so ineffect it belongs to the people of this nation,we through Taxes pay for it, |

Is it? Well, opinions vary. And most people like to adopt the 'the money could pay for this and that and the other....' but there is a lot more to it than that. |

Buckingham Palace is owned by the country, so in theory'A council House, so the country must pay for its repairs. |
