Yeah that damn Harry over in Afghanistan working for his country. What a jerk. William flying planes during war...what a jerk. Come on Geron, I agree with you 99 percent but not this particular post. Big deal about the pictures. She was with her husband on vacation. I think that William and Kate are doing more good than not. Now his father is another story.....
They have jobs - jobs that the Constitutions of eighteen countries require them to do, without even asking them if they want to do them.
It's reasonable to think there's something wrong with the idea of monarchy, but that isn't a decision that is in the hands of the monarch or the members of the Royal family. It's in the hands of Parliaments. The law and constitution as it stands, tells these people - "You have a duty." and I think it's wrong to criticise them for doing the duty that their countries ask of them.
They are also not supported by taxpayers - the revenues of the Crown Estate go to the British Treasury, and the amount of money used to fund the Royal Family is tiny in comparison to those revenues - the only money the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge get from the British taxpayer is Flight Lieutenant Wales' salary as an RAF officer.
They do have jobs. Most of them put in more than a forty-hour workweek. They add an enormous amount of money to the state exchequeur, because their lifestyle, houses, presence, and activities bring in billions of pounds sterling in tourist spending, and cycle money through the economy in a classic Reaganesque manner. It's capitalism, baby! Believe me, they add a lot more than they consume in tax money, and the ones who don't, like Eugenie, don't get funded from the government. You can't have any idea how much money Zara Phillips and Princess Anne send through the economy on their own (and that's something I know a bit about). Kate Middleton and her husband pull money into the economy of the UK. If it weren't so, the government would have pulled all funding a long time ago, but paying for some aspects of the Royal Family is cost-efficient for the UK.
