If people were given the choice to pay a small monthly subscription to royal family to do appearances, promote charities and live or rent out a few properties, would they do it?

Errrr nope!!

Hermittrismegistus · 13/11/2023 21:08

No.

NopeNotMe1 · 13/11/2023 21:08

Absolutely not

CantFindTheBeat · 13/11/2023 21:08

Why do you ask, OP?

CharlotteRumpling · 13/11/2023 21:08

Lol. No.

StarShipControl · 13/11/2023 21:09

Wth has prompted this post?

KnickerlessParsons · 13/11/2023 21:09

I'm pretty sure the RF wouldn't do it either so it's a moot point.

JustyBraise · 13/11/2023 21:10

Absolutely not.

Though we already do this technically, it's called paying taxes.

Myyearmytime · 13/11/2023 21:11

No nut people do subscriptions to people like lad baby or other content providers

So if they became content creators that might make a good living .

LadyMacB · 13/11/2023 21:11

Only if I get the first 12 events for free, with a complimentary free gift.

Its5656 · 13/11/2023 21:15

No!

Username6445 · 13/11/2023 21:16

Not a fucking chance in hell thank you.

Catlover77 · 13/11/2023 21:16

NO!

XenoBitch · 13/11/2023 21:16

Erm, no! It is not like they need the money.

Actually the sovereign grant is paid from the profits of the crown estate and they only get back 15-25%, not from taxes.

And no, I definitely wouldn't pay a subscription.

TheShellBeach · 13/11/2023 21:17

What an odd thing to ask.
No.

MidnightOnceMore · 13/11/2023 21:17

We already pay for them. Would prefer a voluntary subscription.

ssd · 13/11/2023 21:18

Christ have they not got enough?

CwmYoy · 13/11/2023 21:19

Yup

OhNoForever · 13/11/2023 21:19

Hell no. They are richer than I'll ever be--why on earth should I pay them at all!

BarneyAteMyHomework · 13/11/2023 21:20

I might pay a subscription towards the upkeep of the royal palaces in exchange for free entry - like a royal version of the National Trust.

Wouldn’t pay for the people though.

daliesque · 13/11/2023 21:21

Nope.

But I'd certainly pay a subscription to have access to the tiaras 😍😍😍

The Crown Estates are not Windsor property however. They don't belong to them.

And 😂 for the OP

newnamethanks · 13/11/2023 21:22

No. Absolutely not. They should be rented out though to countries that have Royal Envy. Jewellery, crowns and such like, additional extras and they'd have to give them a free meal.

That you Charles?
