Twice as much as meghan, half as much as harry.
They do not need anything else.
People get caught in this trap thinking material wealth is the most important thing in life,it isn't, the moment it comes with strings that begin to hurt your quality of life its time to cut them.

The fact that British taxpayers still pay millions of dollars/pounds a year to maintain a royal family's housing, travel, and expenses is ridiculous. I get that it's fun and interesting to keep up with, but I'm glad we don't have this in America.

It's history though. Think about how much we spend on the Capitol, the President, etc. I agree that it's really foreign since we were founded in a completely different era.

Actually, you were founded specifically so you didnt have to pay taxes to the British monarch anymore. ;)

I'm British and I literally couldn't give less of a shit.

The outrage is all tied up in the bombastic jingoism of Brexit. Support for the Royal Family is seen as a patriotic thing so bloviating, gammon-faced twats like Piers Morgan feel they have to be monarchists to retain their audience.

Let em do what they want to. They're people like anyone else. They wanna retreat from public life then good for them. I couldn't give a flying flamingo.

Taxation without representation. Remember that or we might end up being back to back to back World War champs ;)

Monarchy without power or authority is nauseatingly pathetic. It's an institution that should have been abolished decades ago.
