I couldn't give 2 shits about the royal family, but would probably miss them if they weren't around
They should be self-financing, somehow. Maybe Her Madge could sign a shirt sponsorship deal or something?

Princess Margaret could have been sponsored by some gin distiller or a bookie or something like that.

I cannot abide Prince Charles. Straight onto Wills I reckon.

I'm choosing to read your last line
as suggesting that Charles sexually abuses his eldest son.

SCORE.

Well who would abuse a ginger FFS? Haven't they suffered enough?

To me the difference between the Queen and politicians
is that the Queen's first duty is to the country, whereas a politician's first duty is always to themselves, or at a push their party.
Not sure the same could be said for Charles, though.

I appreciate your point, which does have some merit.
However I suspect that most members of the royal family are even more detached from reality than politicians - and that's some achievement.

Allegedly at one point Charles even had a servant to put toothpaste on his toothbrush for him

I suspect so
Probably the "attendant to the privy chamber" or some such.

Historically
there was a Groom of the Stool who would wipe the kingly bottom... It was a highly prized position as it showed you had the kings trust

Although the government gives them money
The Crown Estate - properties and such - pay their profits into the treasury. If they paid tax but took back the Crown lands we'd actually be worse off.

Show your working please
In addition, if we took all their land and lopped off their fucking heads, I reckon THEY'D be worse off. AMIRITE?

shan't
as I'm probably wrong. Crown lands are managed by an independent organisation and profits paid into the Treasury, but since they're effectively a public body I expect they're shit at it.
