Prince William royal wedding gift: A Price tag of £ 620 million to the UK economy
Useless people. His mother was a person of value, she cared for others. I remember her saying she wanted to the queen of people's heart, not a bloodsucking wonder.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“I don't think many people will want me to be Queen.
Actually, when I say many people I mean the establishment that I married into, because they have decided that I'm a non-starter.
BASHIR: Why do you think they've decided that?
DIANA: Because I do things differently, because I don't go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that's got me into trouble in my work, I understand that. But someone's got to go out there and love people and show it.”

“not a bloodsucking wonder.”
Again: The royalty makes us more each year than it costs us.
If this wedding makes the UK 620 million next year, combined with the 500 million a year the queen makes each year for our country.
Take away the 35-50 million a year it costs us. Almost a billion.
@ Fido and xbox. A better deal than that greedy cow you have in the pink house.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 08:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The Royalty makes us richer” Zethee, are you aware of what you're saying? The funniest part is that you seem to be included “makes us” lol Anyway, wish you more and more babies.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 09:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You Typhoon talking about being greedy.
Do you even read what people write?
Nov 17th, 2010 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The Royalty makes us richer” Zethee“
When infact i said:
Again: The royalty makes us more each year than it costs us.
”The funniest part is that you seem to be included “makes us”“
By ”us” i ment the UK. By living in the UK, i would be included.
Yes of course, Zethee.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 10:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, it is. Because i am correct.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 11:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Care to provide any evidence to your theory that our monarch costs us more than she makes?
Didn't think so.
I enjoy reading people here who are defending a group of people who declared them self “royal”. They do indeed cost more money, because they don't pay taxes.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 11:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Typhoon the play station gamer idiot, I'm Dutch and my little country doesn't have a president.
“They do indeed cost more money, because they don't pay taxes. ”
Nov 18th, 2010 - 11:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Can you prove this? I'd like proof. You can't get any. Because nomatter what way you spin it, the 30 million she costs us is nothing compaired to the 500 million she makes us a year.
Any investor would bite your hand off for a 1000% mark up on a investment.
I wonder if this kind of news is pertinent here. Isn´t this Mercopress, the South Atlantic News Agency?
Nov 18th, 2010 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very true, But this peice of news is world wide. The last wedding was viewed by almost a billion people on tv.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 05:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0MercoPress seems to comment a lot about the UK even when it's nothing to do with the south atlantic.
@10 Actually, your country doesn't have much of any importance. In fact, it doesn't have anything of importance. What it does have is a drug culture and loads of prostitutes. Something to be proud of, eh?
Nov 18th, 2010 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12 Of course it's pertinent. Prince William is one of the heirs to the British Throne. In time he will become King of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland and of all British Overseas Territories. As well as Head of State for at least 16 Commonwealth countries.
No matter where you go, Britain is pertinent.
It'll be a world wide celebration.
Nov 19th, 2010 - 03:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0From idiot play station gamer Typhoon: Actually, your country doesn't have much of any importance.
Nov 21st, 2010 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Political, No it doesn't and so what. who cares. In trade it does.
The royals are self proclaimed important people, supported by the people in their territory. They are land lords and don't pay taxes by laws they created them self with the people who where elected by the people in their territory. Read the history carefully with an open mind and you will understand.
“They are land lords and don't pay taxes”
Nov 22nd, 2010 - 12:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0The royal family pay taxes.
