Trooping the colour booing

[theresalighttofindyou]

AIBU to think this was well deserved?

Kate can glower at people as much as she wants but the monarchy is a rotten institution and people are getting more and more annoyed by it

Your post is absurd.

Celebs have a choice. The royals don't.

This discussion has been conducted really well, which I appreciate. As you know the Sovereign Grant does not include the security for the RF. You have no idea what they cost without knowing that.

it costs millions. But no where near a billion.

They have a choice to marry a Royal? To have children?
They know what they’re getting into and chose to bring children into that. Sane difference.

I think they mean if you are born into the family…

I know someone who stands there booing.
She is also part of the Stop Oil Brigade and Palestine Action Group… and could Moan for England. If you were next to her at a party you would be getting the next taxi home.

I think there's room in this country for both monarchists and republicans to be visible and heard at Royal events- the fact that we can make room for both is one of the things I love about this country.

As an aside, Edwards VIII was more than a Nazi sympathiser, he was a traitor. While we were at war with Hitler he collaborated with him & the Nazis, and agreed to support a Nazi conquest of the UK in return for being placed back on the throne.

He does pay tax on his income from personal wealth

King Charles's earnings from personal wealth are subject to income tax and capital gains tax on a voluntary basis, rather than by legal obligation. Under a non-statutory Memorandum of Understanding with the Treasury, he pays statutory rates on personal investments and the Privy Purse (income from the Duchy of Lancaster).
A breakdown of the UK royal taxation framework includes the following distinctions:
Income and Capital Gains Tax: The Sovereign is legally exempt from UK taxes, but Queen Elizabeth II voluntarily agreed to pay income tax and capital gains tax on her private income and the Duchy estates in 1993. King Charles continues this practice.

Norman Baker wrote an eye opening book about the royals a few years ago, the tax dodges, dodgy dealings, their personal wealth, the extravagances. He was a member of Privy Council and a government minister so he was privy to all the detail around their finances. Called And What Do you do? What the Royals don’t want you to know. Riveting stuff. He has just written a new one called Royal Mint, I am waiting for that one to come down in price.

But, when the Queen died - Charles did not pay any inheritance tax.

No IHT and voluntary tax… after the off with their heads cry’s became too loud. All their businesses would be taxed in death too if they were like the rest of us.

40% that’s a lot of tax on worldwide assets.

So sick of the protesters. They hate everything that is British. I wish they'd go and live in Palestine where they'd feel more at home.

He does pay tax???
And Capital Gains Tax…

Not IHT - he’d have lost 40% from his mother’s fortune, which would also have been much reduced had her DF been taxed.

Republic, the biased ones,
estimated it at 150million
( they have no real idea on that obviously )
But it’s still not touching the amount the RF generate

What a narrow minded view.

They don't hate everything that is British.

Just the overwhelmingly cunty bits.

Yes but your previous post related to income tax if you read back over it

As he’s not dead yet IHT is irrelevant to your comment

Yes and he’d have half as much if he got taxed like the rest of us!

Charles is a billionaire through his private wealth, not the Crown Estate.

See above

Not sure they do generate as much as people may perceive.

According to figures from the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions and the royal household’s own figures for their residences, Buckingham Palace is at best the 69th most popular attraction in the UK.

Windsor Castle does better but is still only at number 18, behind Chester Zoo, Somerset House, Edinburgh Castle and the Botanic Gardens in Kew.

King Charles does not have to pay inheritance tax on the money he received when the late queen died.

Of note currently the majority want the monarchy. So 🤷‍♀️
and as yet no one’s proved that it wouldn’t lose the country money
So
Another loss maker

Are you sure about that? Listen to the statistics of different age groups - young people overwhelmingly see the RF as irrelevant. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66707923

As he’s not dead yet IHT is irrelevant to your comment

Ha Ha - good joke. IHT on his mothers estate. As you or I would have to pay if it was us who got a wodge of money.

When we die, our wills are public documents. Do all the royalists on here know why the RF wills are not disclosed? Because in 1910 Prince Francis of Teck, the younger brother of Queen Mary, left a behest to his mistress and it would have caused a scandal if it were known. So a new law was made and it has served the Royals well ever since.

No they don’t hate everything British. The person I know who is a protestor loved her very posh boarding school, loved the trust fund from her Grandfather, loves all the money from Mummy and Daddy - so terribly British. She also loves looking swampy, the scarf she pretends makes her look like she is from Islamabad and her zero waste lifestyle. Except she has gas central heating, a petrol car and is constantly flying abroad on holiday darling!

Good effort.
You have missed out The Tower of London and those fabulous Crown Jewels, one of the top attractions in the UK.
Westminster Abbey
Hampton Court.
St Paul’s Cathedral
Kensington Palace and gardens.
There are hundreds of attractions connected to The Royal Family

Oh, that's alright then. It's just because of 'reasons' is it? You're easily satisfied...

I posted the info upthread
it’s not ‘what people on here or me perceive or indeed what people with no intel need to make a stab at a guess
It’s from a non biased source

Heres info on who that source is

It is the official website of the Regional Studies Association, which is a non-partisan, non-profit, independent learned society and registered charity. The RSA focuses on academic, evidence-based research regarding regional and urban development, rather than promoting political agendas.

Here is how the organization ensures objectivity and academic rigor:
Academic Peer Review: The RSA publishes highly respected academic journals (including its flagship title, Regional Studies). These publications require rigorous, blind peer reviews by subject-matter experts to ensure scientific validity rather than political bias.

Strict Non-Partisanship: As a registered charity, the Association is prohibited from overtly lobbying or taking political positions. Their charter mandates that they remain independent of the political interests of any nation-state.

Global and Interdisciplinary Scope: The organization boasts an international network of researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. Their research covers a wide variety of socioeconomic, environmental, and political contexts across different countries to provide balanced, objective analyses

The only reason to ignore information by this company is because of bias or heavy propaganda to the contrary.
The country fell for that one with Brexit…
