“Royal” parasites if you ask me.
I would never refer to the Queen or Philip as a parasite.
Wallis and Meghan were the American breed of parasites.
Is it the Royals feeding off everyone else or everyone else feeding off them?
Tourist dollars don’t lie. Nearly every business in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland would lose money brought in by tourists. Visiting castle ruins and kissing the Blarney Stone is one thing but the Royals are the big show.
Charity dollars don’t lie. Have the Royals mention a charity and the little people throw money at it. Just look at MEgan and Harry starting their charities. Harry had the hugely popular Invictus Games before Meghan.
Hundreds of British businesses do all they can to keep their royal seal of honor due to the status and the money it brings in.
William’s little Charlotte brings millions to the fashion industry. Let her wear a new outfit and moms rush out to buy the same for their little darling. Seriously, she’s the biggest money maker for this.
Hundreds of journalists would be out of work if it weren’t for the Royals.
Thousands in the service industries would be out of work.
