"No, how much did that christening cost us tax payers?
Probably only about 3p each"
I doubt it was even half that. Still , some people just like a moan. Even on the happy threads. |

"Poor kid. They made him wear a dress"
it wasn't a dress, it was a christening gown. I'd of had my son in a gown if I could've afforded one at the time, but his dad and I were in college at the time. |

The baby looked gorgeous, beautiful gown.
My boys moan when they see their christening pics, moaning that I made them look girly when they were 3 months old.
And I'm happy that some of my taxes pay for the royal family. ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

"Two questions.
What did today cost all in? Security and everything?
Who gets the money from the sale of the pics?
Are you the most miserable person north of the border? "
I doubt it, but I'm working on it. |

OMG people!!
The christening robe was a replica of the one worn by Queen Victoria's oldest daughter.
The amount of tourist trade, including overseas online orders more than cover the cost!
I think it's sad when you see countries that show the 'previous residence of a now gone royal family'!
Our Royal family are the best known in the world! They bring in way more than they cost.. and the Queen has worked harder in her life than any other person I can think of, and is still going!!
Be proud as Brits of what we have.. if not.. bugger off ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

Don't worry you`s north if the border will be free of us south of the border soon, and with a bit luck we then operate a border crossing point to keep you that side
I doubt it, but I'm working on it."

At least he earned the right to wear his uniform.
I have met him and he is one of the most genuine and down to earth blokes you could ever meet. Compare him to the liars and traitors in parliament like Cameron, Clegg, Milliband and those that came before them like Blair and the fat one-eyed scottish prick (who wasn't even elcted prime minister) and I know who I would like to see running the Country!

I dunno why people get christened against their own free will(thats yet to develop I suppose), also not into 'royal' affairs, nothing about money etc etc...just pure principle
hope they all had a great day...thats as far as I'm positive about it |

Given that most tourists visit royal sites when they are unoccupied would suggest they would come anyway. As for the queen working hard........my aunty has just finished work at 76 she cleaned a pub, gave birth to 5 children all of whom are upstanding citizens.........so Iknow someone who actually worked and I mean worked harder than the queen! |

If servicemen and women took that seriously, they wouldn't have to use cops and Special Branch wallahs to protect the Windsors.

" No its a good point. I took the schilling as I had no other form of work. Most of my cohort did the same. The Royal Family are so far from day to day military life you would not imagine. Its a job which gave me a profession! On the William front I have known Army pilots that have done 25 years.............not three on Anglesey! |

"OMG people!!
The christening robe was a replica of the one worn by Queen Victoria's oldest daughter.
The amount of tourist trade, including overseas online orders more than cover the cost!
I think it's sad when you see countries that show the 'previous residence of a now gone royal family'!
Our Royal family are the best known in the world! They bring in way more than they cost.. and the Queen has worked harder in her life than any other person I can think of, and is still going!!
Be proud as Brits of what we have.. if not.. bugger off Please show me the figures that confirm the Royal Household actually contributes to the exchequer more than they cost?
Gimme a mo to go mug the Chancellor of his old red briefcase Not sure we'll find the truth in there mind lol The truth is that the income from royal patronage is unquantified as it cannot be. Given that most tourists visit royal sites when they are unoccupied would suggest they would come anyway. As for the queen working hard........my aunty has just finished work at 76 she cleaned a pub, gave birth to 5 children all of whom are upstanding citizens.........so Iknow someone who actually worked and I mean worked harder than the queen!"
and the Queen has worked harder in her life than any other person I can think of, and is still going!!
You must not know many people who have worked hard!!!! As far as I know she hasn't opened or closed a set of curtains or blinds in her life !!! |

may as well do away with everyone who works in the forces.
He was in the RAF for three years. Its tokenism.
A waste of Brylcreem." they could have spent the money training someone who was actually going to make it a career instead of a propaganda exercise. |
