Can't afford fish and chips! Costs a fortune nowadays

Imagine living a life where every thing you do is questioned if not actively managed. A life of privileged yes but a life not always your own.

Plus the guy served in an active combat role in WW2 so my hat is off to him. I have a Great Uncle nearing that age who served and I will never not give them a pass.

This day and age people will run away screaming about their rights before serving their fellows in any capacity let alone one that is dangerous and possibly life ending. People who will create any reason under the sun to denigrate another who usually has done far more in life than they will ever dream of.

Gotta say, this sounds like a better argument for abolition than against.

The Royal Family costs each Brit around £1.24/year [1]

I doubt I could even get just the chips for that. Amazingly good value.

The Royal Family do a lot more than live a chill life. If it was a social media star I would agree. A monarchy is soo much more than that, don’t let recent press/media to dominate your opinions.
