That will happen because the construct of royalty is unable to evolve with the times. It never changes. And as worldwide society continues to evolve, the notion of a single family forever living in unimaginable wealth outside the common man will, as McArthur put it, slowly fade away. Not anytime soon. Charles will love having his face on all the bills and coin of the Realm while William already has bought into the system of essentially cutting ribbons and running charities in return for living in castles fully staffed to one's every whim. But I would predict William will be the last king of England. And England will be the better for it. Now, I'm just an outsider and surely don't have the insight of folks like Krackennutz, Totty and RobMc who are part of the monarchy. But they'll surely let me know if I'm wrong. Just to add... Surely the notion of referring to one person by accident of birth as being majestic, and bowing and performing a curtsy to that person as if he or she is better than you, and everyone else, has already been largely passed by.

TBH the Royal family are more accepted worldwide than our choice of PM s are.

Family worth many billions, biggest public spongers and they avoid tax (i.e. inheritance tax) which even the poorest pay. They have you fooled mate, they live a life of luxury off your back, as I said sympathy I give, but no remorse, I for one know I'm being robbed, and there's no Robin Hood. Watch this, some of this is a bit misleading but most of it is fact, they stand covered in medals, unearned, the only one not bedecked was the shamed paedophile (who got off with it) crazily he really fought in the Falklands, they are at the best misleading and shameless..

Could be much worse. You could be like the United States. With a good number of filthy rich families without such controls that actually do run the country, just without the 'royal' moniker. The royals are not 'required' to pay taxes. But from what I understand they do anyways. However much it is. Dont know. But here in America? Where everyone is eligible to be taxed including rich families? Doesnt mean that they do, and if they dont have to, they wont volunteer any. That is simply anti-American. We all celebrate not paying taxes. Perhaps a very cynical view. I guess you have to live in a country entirely dictated by the almighty dollar. I dont think I've heard the expression 'dictated by the almighty pound'. Maybe there is such a phrase, dunno. RobMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I would recommend reading 'Animal farm' by George Orwell if you haven't already Sammy, it portrays that no matter which regime you live under there are always an elite, divorced from reality ( e.g. Let them eat cake, Maria Antoinette ). The one fact in the land of freedom I find strange is that it does not seem possible to be President unless you are a millionaire/billionaire, we haven't reached that yet because we limit spending on campaigns (supposedly).
