They are welfare queens, just like Walmart and McDonald’s are some of the biggest welfare queens on this side of the pond. They didn’t buy that land. They didn’t farm it. They just “own” it mostly for no real reason.
Meh. I’m fine with having a royal family - sure there’s a bunch of spongers but the fundamental principle of having a bunch of pomp and pageantry for the sake of tradition and jolly flag waving (as opposed to “get rid of the immigrants” flag waving) is fun and worth the price of entry. The price of entry pays rent for a bunch of people who did nothing to deserve it, because that’s kind of how it works.
Because they’re… still… royals? What am I missing
Probably because most people thought they’d suffered the same fate as him, and were reduced to being mere mortals.
But yes they are still royals. And another reason to consign the royal family to history.

As one of the largest land-owners, I’m surprised they’re ‘benefit scroungers’. Did someone tell you they’re dole kings?
