Ah, that IS true.
The gate receipts on Buckingham Palace compensate for (allegedly) the wealthiest individual in the UK?
Its part of the national interest people have in the UK... its airfares, hotel bills, souvenirs, food ....The Royals are just part of that. I'm not sure an accountants view is neccessarily valid when it comes to heritage....or else we'd tear down all those old scabby castles and turn them into a nice block of flats.
David FloodWell,I know in 1660 they treated the regicides' remains with as much respect as Bandobras showed Golfimbul...I think republicans in modern Britain deserve no greater consideration.
If you want heritage, shoot 'em and stuff 'em for display, I say.
God Bless Empire!!
