I just saw a pic of Kate on MSN. She is one good looking Duchess.

The coronation, and the entire royal family is less important to me that the fate of a bug in the Amazon forest about to be eaten by a frog. The British have a 2,000 year history of pomp and circumstance. The history of Rome invading, the Vikings, and the French wars is interesting as a history nerd. Now the royal family is just a total waste of time and money and holds no interest at all for me.

I've stood inside that Cathedral and couldn't bring myself to utter a sound. It was that awe inspiring. We don't honor our physical history the way England does. We bulldoze and rebuild. Maybe one day if we survive as a nation for two thousand years we'll be able to celebrate in a similar way.

Only after reading further down the page did I remember that The Round Mound of Rebound is only "Sir Charles", not a king, and realized this was about the most successful welfare recipients the world has ever known. _

Other than a casual interest in MGs and Triumphs I’m no Anglophile but do the tax payers actually support the Crown? I thought they got by on their real estate holdings. I seem to recall the royal family being the largest single landlord in the country. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

 ) of the Monarchy but it seems that they are a minority.The royals do earn by virtue of their ENORMOUS real estate holdings but they also receive a stipend from the government but that's more complicated than I can explain.

Article in today's WSJ says a recent survey was 54% of Brits in favor of the monarchy.

Just heard the Royal family costs me $2 a year
Not bad value considering they bring $2.1B revenue into the UK a year I'm not a royalist but proud that the Royal family is still a big part of the UK's living, here and now history The coronation today of King Charles III is just a continuing of history. UK is a more interesting country because of it not despite it Don't like it, that's ok, as you can always follow the Kardashians

The owner of a 2 billion dollar fortune throws himself a 1.25 million dollar party and 'asks' the guests - or more accurately, the servants - to pay.
Yay, The Royalty.
