What does he live on?
What about the fortune in security we'd save by having ONE head of state, rather than a royal family, complete with sponging hangers-on? Not to mention making the head of state ACCOUNTABLE and increasing tax revenue. (And they can start by paying back tax revenue they've diddled out of this country over countless generations).Exactly. To spell it out, only the Queen & Prince Philip receive the Sovereign Grant as the Civil List is known now. But then, Ernest knew that.
It's an excellent question. How on EARTH does he manage?What does he live on?
This is good news. Last time Kate was pregnant I told an american girl on the train one evening I was one of the official gynecologists. She couldn't wait to give me her phone number.
I wouldn't be SURPRISED if they INDUCED the birth stuck the KID in a KILT and took him to Scotland NEXT week for the vote
Waity Katie going to drop another BURDEN on the taxpayer

Oh TB that is something of a politicians answer isn't it ?
Technically correct, but oh wait, the monarch then distributes this largesse, amongst the wider family.
We had the queen's cousin down here last year to open the Adur footbridge. His share of the loot is 160k p.a. and he gets a massive pad thrown in on top of this. Plenty of people would be prepared to shake a few hands and mumble the odd word for this sort of money. I also doubt a single tourist would have a clue who this minor dignitary is, or for that matter care.
There's also the inherited wealth. 8.5 million from Diana, and 4 million from the Queen Mum (God bless her - Lord Pompous!) when William reached the age of 30. The inheritance tax was paid at 40%. Harry gets his share this week for his 30th birthday.
Umm, where did Diana get £8.5m from?
Nope just let them live off the wealth they have sucked out this country and its people in peace. And let them live a life like any other family.
