Her Majesty to be given a 22% inflation pay increase about £35 million a year for the next two years as she is down to her last million. What are your thoughts?

It's no good moaning about Queenie when the MP's themselves are due to get around 15% ish. ( Not sure but £76k from £67.5k)

Have you all written to your MP ( especially so called socialist Labour ) to complain? I doubt it.

Our queen is the envy of most of the world. And she has brought more income into this country than most know. So if, due to cuts, she's using her own money to run some of our biggest landmarks and tourist destinations. Then she should get more money. I would rather she got it than it was wasted elsewhere. She is a huge assit to this country and those that can't see that have blinkers on

perhaps in years past they would have been, after all no society ever has and never will be 'equal'..

why would you assume that someone is a 'royalist' because they recognise the reality of a system which lets be honest is unlikely to change in our lifetimes..?

Nope, usually ex service personnel who would otherwise be on hard times (despite already having served their countr.

Alot of juniour employees of the Roayl Family - Groom/ footmen, butlers. cooks, cleaners, gardeners.... are paid out of the £1/ year that it costs each working person.

Given the choice between giving Her Haj. and extra 22% to spread around or our MP's 10% to spend on duck houses I know where my choice would be.

So, lets say for example, we do away with ALL the royalty and their assets ( ps MI5, GCHQ and NSA i'm only hypothesising, honest) and share the proceeds out EQUALLY amongst all subjects/citizens whatever?

More likely to be like Badar Azim, the flunkey who stuck the official bulletin confirming young George's birth onto an easel on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace.

He has had to give up his job, and a grace-and-favour flat in the Royal Mews within the grounds of Buckingham Palace, after a two-year work period tagged on to his student visa came to an end.

He is understood to have returned to his family, who live in two rooms shared between nine members of the extended family in a Calcutta slum.

Maybe he'll get into the movies.

As for the folk that say royals bring in money yes i agree but they also take out millions too.

Time to take a stand it sickens me to be honest. As you can see i am not a royalist but think keep the queen or king but the rest should get fuck all sell off palaces if they need money and stop taking the piss.

Are you :

a) horny.

b) revolting, or

c) emigrating to a republic of your choice?

Try the USA, it's not a monarchy, there's no inequality or poverty or other social issues there, you'd love it.

I think many people are missing the fact that we are discussing a 'pay rise' here, it's not like a pay rise for the CEO of some company (or overpaid footballer etc) who can then go out and buy a couple of new Ferraris, or whatever. The money here will go to pay for staffing costs, upkeep of building etc etc. The report I read said that there will be a 5% increase next year, which is coincidentally the same amount that staff wages have increased.

To get back to the OP: I think a smaller expenses increase combined with some cost cutting measures might have been more appropriate in these 'we're in it together' times.

Here's a snippet of information: did you know that Prince Charles, via the Duchy of Cornwall, gets £500,000 a year through people in Cornwall (can't reall if it has to be on his land or what) dying intestate?

"I think many people are missing the fact that we are discussing a 'pay rise' here, it's not like a pay rise for the CEO of some company (or overpaid footballer etc) who can then go out and buy a couple of new Ferraris, or whatever. The money here will go to pay for staffing costs, upkeep of building etc etc. The report I read said that there will be a 5% increase next year, which is coincidentally the same amount that staff wages have increased."

As an update to our post above I found the report about the 22% increase and it includes the following quotes:

'According to the figures, that led to real-term expenditure of £32.9 million in 2011-2012, compared to £72.6million in 1991-92.'

'The palace insists most of its extra cash will be spent on a ‘massive backlog’ of repairs to royal palaces, which the Queen holds in trust on behalf of the nation.'

'The new NAO report also highlights the royal household’s efforts to increase income through money-spinning schemes such as renting out its facilities for commercial events. This has generated a rise of 54 per cent in profits, £11.6 million last year alone.'

But while recommending the increase, their report goes on to highlight what it describes as ‘significant reductions’ in the monarchy’s funding over the last 20 years.

It says that grants for royal travel on official engagements both at home and abroad has been slashed by 76 per cent in real terms.

The maintenance for royal palaces, including Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, was similarly reduced by an impressive 60 per cent.

That has left, according to the NAO, a huge backlog in property maintenance, with 39 per cent of occupied royal palace being deemed below their ‘target condition’.

In order to cope with the shortfall the Queen’s money men have been dramatically scaling back their spending, reducing net expenditure by 55 per cent in real terms.'

To be fair (regardless of my thoughts on the monarchy) in addition to what lins1975 posted above, it is an extremely small drop in the ocean of tax money that the government has got to play with.

As Ruud 4-fun said, it is probably a better way to give away the money rather than it be squandered by MPs on frankly ridiculous things.

Surely that is something we can all agree on?

The Queen is 87 and still going strong. She came to the throne in 1952, currently 61 years as our head of state.

She will have done more actual days work for her country in her lifetime than you or anyone else posting in here.

She will have generated more income for this country in her lifetime than anyone posting in here.

She will have devoted her whole child and adult life in the service of her country by the time she dies.

Rather the Queen or king a figure head than president Blair, Cameron or Milliband !!!!

Funny how many people dont understand either why there is a "civil list" or how the system works.

The Civil List came into being during WW1 when The King signed over the income from the majority of the Royal Families property (for the length of the war) in return for an income for those of the family (except the heir to the throne) who carry out royal duties. The property was held by the "Crown Estates". At the end of WW1 the King extended the arrangement until the country was back on its feet. The arrangement is still continues.

In 2010 the Crown estates made a NET PROFIT of £210.7 million.

So not a bad deal for the country...

So to the many say "why should they get supported by our taxes" I say because I for 1 am more than happy to give anyone 33 million if they give me 210 million in return!

How many of us have 87 year old relatives still working?

As has already been said, the Monarchy generates far more income for the country through the Crown Estates,never mind tourism, than it receives. That is fact.

I prefer my modest anonymity to the perceived privileged luxury of the goldfish bowl that they have to live in.

I would rather live in a benign monarchy than a republic.

Ok, do you really think that 230m profit would be any lower if we don't have the Queen? Do you really think tourists will stop coming to this country because at the moment they expect to see HRM in the flesh? Will the crown estates stop bringing in that kinf of profit? No.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have 230m rather an 197m.

I have no doubt at all they bring lots of money into this country but I still believe it wouldn't effect me at all if we didn't have a royal family, despite being one of the very few countries with a royal family and them bringing us in £230m a year we still have one of the highest taxes, so where is the income they bring into the country going?

"Funny how many people dont understand either why there is a "civil list" or how the system works.

The Civil List came into being during WW1 when The King signed over the income from the majority of the Royal Families property (for the length of the war) in return for an income for those of the family (except the heir to the throne) who carry out royal duties. The property was held by the "Crown Estates". At the end of WW1 the King extended the arrangement until the country was back on its feet. The arrangement is still continues.

In 2010 the Crown estates made a NET PROFIT of £210.7 million.

So not a bad deal for the country...

So to the many say "why should they get supported by our taxes" I say because I for 1 am more than happy to give anyone 33 million if they give me 210 million in return!

Lol if you are right that makes a mockery of all the haters complaints. Go check its historical fact and the 2010 accounts are the last published accounts...

Bet 2011, 2012 and this years will net us even more money!

No I don't disbelieve you I am sure you are right I haver to say thanks for finding it and posting there must be many red faces about once they realised. "

Fully understand, and was not suggesting you were questioning my post.

As you may have guessed I am a Royalist (and have served) and notice that those who would remove the Monarchy refuse to accept that Royals have served us well over centuries and are the only people (bar Denis Skinner) in public life who are not interested in lining their own pockets.

Ah right...

So you are saying that not only should we remove the Monarchy but we should also steal all their property...

So OK, I'll go along with that so lang as we steal everything from everyone else at the same time...

That means everything you have too!

Or is that a little too socialist/communist for you?

You don't own anything anyway. If you have a birth certificate, the state owns you, and everything that is in your name.

I can honestly say I don't have negative feelings towards them, but I don't support them either, I personally cant see the point, other countries manage quite well without one but that don't mean I don't think we should have one just because I don't support them, I wouldn't have thought it would make a great deal to my life either way armed services ..they get nowhere near the front line ..they have an army protecting them ...harry is the latest poster boy for the imperialist war machine

I support her for being non political, I support the royals that have risked their lives for this country in the armed services, ( how many politicians children go through the armed forces).

Rather the Queen or king a figure head than president Blair, Cameron or Milliband !!!!

Their fancy dinners, tours etc and history bring more business and wealth to this country than you can ever imagine. They are not perfect but they pay their way!!!"

I love being self employed as I take what I want when I want - no need to wait for pay rises and to look at that smug little face of the former boss who thinks he is the greatest benefactor on the planet as he has given you a pay rise you deserve anyway

Actual Work don't talk shit she as never done a hard days work in her life,get a life.

Again just to set the record straight The Queen when she was Princess Elizabeth drove an ambulance in the London blitz...

I doubt that that was a picnic!

I always find it funny when someone like you put solid facts on a thread and the zebadee posters go quiet as a mouse on the thread it just makes me smile.

It's priceless to see something as factual as that shut the usual suspects up.

The even more bizarre thing is that despite that evidence and the facts of how much she and her family generate in wealth for the Nation, how many people she directly employs, how many people indirectly involved everything the Royal Family stand for some chisellers will still find cause for complaint.

Charles sons, one an SAR pilot and one an Army Apache pilot themselves alone put most of the snivelling envious so and so's posting on here to shame.

One braves the deserts and front lines in Afghan while the other braves the weather to rescue folk from the most dangerous situations in weather some on here would never venture out in.

Sme of you folk should hang you sad sorry heads in shame, you are not fit to lace their boots

Very well said - how many of the posters against the Royal Family put their lives on the line for their country? Jealousy is an awful emotion. Lizzie & Co. do a great job and we should be proud of our Royal family. Z

Without forgetting Charles and Andrews military contributions or the fact that Mountbatten was blown to pieces by the IRA simply for being a member of the Royal family.

Let some of the haters stand up on here and announce their contributions.....................

How about the hundreds of thousands of miners that have worked their entire lives to give you heat and light, to be repayed by pneumocoliosis, vibration white finger and redundancy? And the royals get someone to squeeze out their toothpaste for them.

Ah, have not itis, a common malady within a tiny minority of our fellow countrymen "

Do you realky belueve the royals are allowed any where near the front line ...they have an army protecting them ..harry being the latest poster boy for the american imperialist war machine

Can you just briefly list your military service and experience that enables you to make that comment?

I have just over 38 years worth and been to most of the bad places and can say you are 100% wrong with that disrespectful and frankly rather childish slur.

Put up or shut up

"why dose she needs it

when she dose nout

an all coming out of our pay packet

nice

No she don't do nout does she, only fucking stands as head of our great country.

Would love to see you try it, Ho wait the country will go to ruin.

honestly cant see what's so great about it for joe blogs average like me

Well like someone mentioned above you can always go to say us a were they don't have head of state.

say that again in English

Great come back, you guys on here are really hung up on perfect English arnt you,

There was a gap in the us a should if been usa and you call that none English.

Come on get a better job.

I genuinely didn't understand what you was saying

but now I do, is that your answer then, if you don't like how the country is run go live in another one?

The government would love that if everyone stopped complaining and just buggered off to the USA

I have worked all my adult life and have always paid taxes into the country I think im allowed a say in how I feel without being told maybe I should leave the country

No, you are giving so many rights in this country and one of them is your right to leave.

Please don't try and twist it by giving the impression im telling you to leave.

I just think if you think so little of our monarchy, them maybe go to a place were they don't have one.

GIVEN rights? GIVEN? Sorry but nobody gave me my rights, they were fought for over hundreds of years, mainly fighting self serving leaches like the royal family. There is no need to pay them anything. If they don't want to "rule" then pack it in. If you insist on a royal family, do it on the cheap like they do in Europe. THEY still get tourists."

Europe don't get tourists for the monarchy do they, and just read posts above if the royal family generate 230mil then 33 mil is small price to pay for that amount if revenue. So were you have prob come into this thread halfway through, and talking nonsense then go back in your shell, and bow your head in shame.

No it won't...I will still be struggling to pay my mortgage, car tax, utility bills, council tax....and they will still have someone warming there toilet seat for them. There opulence is overkill to the nth degree."

Ah I see now, jealousy is so over rated. Because our great queen as a life style far better than you, you resent that for what reason??? Go get a better job to earn more money to pay your bills simple.

The _iew in Whitehall was that Harry probably wouldn't have been a great loss. He is, after all, just the spare.

His big brother would never have been put in harms way in a conflict zone. The propaganda coup would have been immense.

Likewise Charles safe at home whilst his brother fought.

Their mother was never put at any additional risk whilst driving ambulances round London. Of course a bomb could have struck but, short of sending her overseas, that could have happened to anyone, anywhere.

How dismissive of you.

Just a thought, have you even the remotest idea of the day to day dangers involved in being an operational SAR Pilot?

Or even a tiny notion of the inherent risk taken during Military Flying Training?

Please feel free to regale us with your wealth of first hand knowledge.

Actually Onny your wrong about Charles, he saw active service as the commander of HMS Bronington in 1974 when the ship was deployed to interdict arms being smuggled into N.I. Admittedly it was not direct front-line service but it was not without risk, and the same can be said for William's service too. In fact the only Royal who has failed to stand before the Colours and show their mettle is edward.
