How did they get that much money? Fulfilling their royal duties? (Smiling for the cameras.)
The monarchy is outdated. The French had the right idea.
But the Brits love their Royals. It's their country, and their taxes, so c'est la vie.
Not the way they did it, guillotining thousands of their countrymen, incluidng 1,000 priests, and enforcing anti-Christian secularism that has, in turn, blinded them to the dangers of the immigrants who now are the largest percentage versus the native population of any of the European countries. They are constantly afraid to push back because of the ruthlessness of the terrorists living among them.
If you have not had the chance, read Ann Coulter's best and most serious book, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America (2011). Citing the many parallels to the French Revolution, she foresaw how the left wing in this country would use the tactics they, indeed, have been using to destabilize all that the Bill of Rights promises. We can now see how Soros-financed mobs, from Occupy to BDS to BLM to the riots and protests against Trump, are not just spontaneous citizen eruptions, but an organized insurrection much like the French Revolution, as she described.
