Ha,ha!

So to summarize all this, the royal family is decoration for the country.
I agree with their helping the poor, and that’s it.
@@alvaroakatico9188 yeah but that's voluntary, they legally can just sit around and be lazy
A bad decoration in my opinion. They suck millions out of the British economy. People go to The UK to see far more than the ..um.. 'Royal ' family. By the way, is their blood golden in color? Is that what makes those humans different.. Or..'royal'? What on earth makes them so much more than the what? .......'pheasants'? I mean, if they are royal..the rest of the people must be of lesser quality, right?
@@sandyhill1392 exactly. they just won a birth lottery, nothing royal about them
Far too expensive and blood-sucking decoration insulting the pride and honour of the ordinary people
The Queen's approval ratings very consistent. Imagine having that kind of support for nearly 70 years. No politician can even dream of that.
@Mitch 1066 At least they have something to be proud of. What about their former colonies??🤣🤣
Thing is, she was never a politician.
They prefer a monarchy over a Republic it appears
@Nick G so much pride that they CHOOSE to throw money at this family whose SOLE purpose is to live a life of luxury on their dime...lmao...bunch of crooked teeth bad breath having fools.
@@ri8255 their "former colony" replaced them as the world's most powerful country while they still pay for the luxurious lifestyle of a bunch of mummies with $ out of their pockets.
Why is it that UK castles and palaces are far more visited than German and French ones, because there still active.
No, because the Germans and French have their own tourist attractions.
@@BatTaz19 ?? Never heard of the palaces of sans souci or fountainebleu.
Hardly a justification for keeping this Royal scam in place.
bubbly gummy to say nothing of the fabulous castles of the Loire valley and the Rheinland or Neuschwanstein, on which Disneyland is modelled.
Dracula's castle in Transylvania is far more popular than Buckingham Palace.
Why does everyone think Great Britain is the only monarchy in Europe? Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco, Lichtenstein, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all have monarchies. Montenegro has given their former monarch a semi-official role in government. Bulgaria's former king returned as prime minister.
Wow I feel ignorant and uninformed. Didn't know that .

@@jb894 its more like a pro-british republicanism
Yup
I thought it would be a more historical explainer on how come there still is a royal family.
Me too but it's a puff piece.
Me too
It was briefly touched on. King Charles the 1st in 1649 wanted absolute monarchy. Meaning he'll be king and in control of government. When he had his head chopped off during war, the new constitution meant royals no longer have control, only government. They survived over the years because they agreed and took a back seat.
I'm assuming Oliver Cromwell and his roundhead government have something to do with it or atleast part of it.
Because Cromwell did not finish the job.
The queen can remove parliament, always apoints the head of parliament (usually goes with her subjects vote), refuse laws especially those involving rule of the crown (90s she denied a law being discussed giving parliament the right to use nuclear weapons without her consent), and is the sole individual that can declare war or agree to being allies with any foerign country (why else go abroad as a world leader often does). She has granted parliament and the church authority to act in her stead on many subjects as she is also still the head of the church. The military is hers, Her Majesty's Army for a reason as the soldiers all take an oath to serve the queen only, and she owns all areas of the land touching the sea and may comendere any ship for the needs of the crown within her waters.
She has authority, but understands it's often best to leave her subjects to rule themselves and hold her power for situations of emergency. She rules more as an advisor, though she can remove parliament at any time and force her subjects to re elect them until she gets the ones in office she wants.
Above all they don't even have to pay taxes! Why? I just can't reason why so much power for the royals in these times. The world is stuck in the past.
She owns all areas of land touching the sea and everyone is okay with that? I think a symbolic figure would always go with her subjects vote or risk going up against parliament and losing all her power. Interesting tho.
The UK crown isn't a symbolic station. It is still a feudal system with republic undertones. Why would the now King require himself to pay himself taxes?
@@sangeetharavindran87 they been paying taxes voluntarily. Try googling it.
@@sangeetharavindran87 The Queen did not abuse her power. It is not an absolute monarchy.

At this moment the royal family in Britain is like confederate symbols in the south: people don't really stand for what they represent, but more for the cultural and symbolic meaning they carry; getting rid of them is like getting rid of their own culture.
Very bad analogy
This take is garbage
@@abdolpix4581 exactly decent point terrible example
That makes more sense to me. Brits don't want to lose what's left of their culture, so they hang on to symbolic symbols of oppression. I for one am glad we got rid of them on this side of the lake! Still, not bad for a country built on colonialism.

To say the monarch's role is purely symbolic is absolutely wrong, the Queen has the power to block laws and she indeed has. In the 90s for example, the commons passed a bill that would give them direct control of the armed forces in order to increase the numbers of British soldiers being sent to the middle East. The Queen (rightly so) blocked the law.

It only cost £67 million?! That's £1 for each person in the country, it's not that much, and to get £1.5 billion back is a good deal
Just based on principle there should be no royals. These people have been scamming the country for generations
@@grod805 Nope. Politicians scam the country, no matter the party, and are always corrupt, running for themselves or running for bankers. Any Royal Family is not corrupt.

@@markhenley3097 any? Your joking right? No reasonable person would say that Luis the XVI wasn't corrupt as hell.
I think the q is why can’t they be more or live modest lives like Scandinavian countries ?
They can and that's what Charles want to do by slimming down the monarchy and getting rid of unnecessary pomp. Also, the Scandinavian countries don't have a Commonwealth with 53 nations in it among which 16 nations have the Queen as Head of state. This means more travels across the globe for the BRF compared to any other Royal families.
Because they are better than them
Because they are wealthier than Scandinavian countries, and have more duties. Remember that most of their assets are privately owned, and if not they come from their duchies which do not come from taxpayers. It makes no sense for them to remain royals since is more of a loss than a gain.
Apple Pie I think that is the plan,if they want to stay relevant.
Because this is britain not Scandinavia. They also bring in ALOT more money than they spend and claim back.
The argument about tourism is just ridiculous. Versailles is visited and no one lives there, people will not meet someone people are just interested in buildings and architecture. Tourism will continue without them.

They cost us £67 million but bring in 1.8 Billion? Business wise they’re incredible
sadly, thats not really accurate. they bring in a lot of that money through the crown estate which isnt their private property, if we were to get rid of the royal family, they wouldnt be able to stop giving us that money, and we wouldnt have to pay them the 67 million pounds

The Royal Family is more than just a monarchy, it is a symbolic piece of what the UK is and has been for generations. It has surrendered its executive power and become a force for good.
Abolishing this sacred piece of Britain will ONLY hurt the UK. It will make our nation hollow and without character.
The royal family is a boon to the economy. People all over the globe flock to see it and we SHOULD be proud that we have sustained it thus far.
The monarchy surpasses politics, it is neither left, centre nor right it is merely the heart of our nation. It is what unites us in a deeply polarised world where we bicker about the EU and what politician should sit in downing street.
Yes - the royal family is made up of humans, and people have their imperfections, but I would not judge a person on such - I would merely be a hypocrite to suggest I am without imperfection.
To all those who wish the monarchy gone; I say enjoy your sentiment, I'm glad we are ruled by a sovereign who allows criticism which reaches platforms such as the even the BBC.
Peace and love to every citizen of the UK, the Commonwealth and the world - GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! AND LONG GIVE THE ROYAL FAMILY!!!
Well I blame that crowd that's cheering and shouting every time they see them ...stop paying them attention and slowly they will vanish
People are delusional sadly.

Why does any country have a monarchy? Power and money that’s why!
The British monarchy costs the taxpayer £1.24 each year as part of The Sovereign Grant Act.
The monarchy receives £69 million pounds of which most goes into the upkeep of the lands and properties including Buckingham Palace and to pay for official duties and staff. All these provides for the people in employment, massive amounts of tourism and for the cost of the change in your pocket every year.
According to VisitBritain, tourism in the UK linked to royal residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle adds up to 2.7 million visitors a year. Another statistic from consultancy Brand Finance said that in 2017 the monarchy contributed £1.8 billion to the UK economy as of the 25th June 2019 meaning a massive boost to economic finances making the monarchy not only self preserving but beneficial to all parties.
This means that by keeping a Monarchy we not only keep our history and heritage alive including having our firgurehead and national institutions preserved and with the added bonus of employment for thousands for the change in your wallet each year of which she in fact receives only a small percentage of public money. Also "the Royal Household is committed to ensuring that public money is spent as wisely and efficiently as possible, and to making Royal finances as transparent and comprehensible as possible" taken from the Royal website for finances.
They’re basically just celebrities who have the ability to tax people
So… pointless and paid to live in luxury for doing nothing. Got it.
The British Royal Family literally founded the country and grew it to become the worlds sole superpower (Pax Britannia). Plus they give the UK lots of tourist money
World looter
By colonialising countries and looting ppl shame on royal family
They cost 67million and bring nearly 2 billion, that's not a hefty cost, that's best investment
Because it’s like having your own national TV show that everyone loves, it brings people together and inspires curiosity. Of course they don’t have any real power over Great Britain, we’re not in the 1700’s, the royal family is just a thing that everybody likes to talk about and see, and that’s exactly why it still exists.
The royals don't need to go to a charity event, they are the charity event.

@@timmoore3770 yes a family that practiced colonialism for centuries, i would totally be proud of that.

As a foreigner, I equate Great Britain with its monarchy. It is a unique set-up. The monarchy simply represents its continuing living history from the past to the present. The British Royals are so steeped in protocols especially in official functions which fascinates me a lot.

£67 M that generates £1.8 B,
That is a pretty good odd isn't.
The queen is also in charge of the military so Britain can’t go to war without her consent.
So she is responsible for the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent rise in terrorism.
The poor old lady looks ready for a cup of horlicks. She shouldn't be asked to instigate an invasion of a war
@@johncuffe4076 For something to be an actual war, one must send out an official declaration of war to another country. Any military action in the middle east has been given the name "pricing actions". In reality it appears as a war, but in technical terms, it isn't.
Technically we can’t do anything without the consent of the monarch. It’s just that the consent is almost alway if not always given.
But officially the monarch could swipe down anything and so no to it.
They don’t because that could cause civil war.
The monarchy and parliament are supposed to check and balance each others power.
British Monarchy represents style, tradition, culture, society, time line... I love British Monarchy...
That could be kept for the history books. 67 million per year for purely existence is absurdity.
So they cost 67 Million pounds a year and bring in 1,800 Million pounds a year. And people complain about the costs?
I honestly think they’re pretty iconic, at least whilest the Queen is still alive lol

Those are just 2 examples of that idiot's racism, and America is better off ignoring him.
America has its leader of government and head of state rolled into one person. European countries have one person as leader of government and another person as a ceremonial head of state. In the UK the prime minister is leader of government and the Queen is head of state who's role is strictly ceremonial and non political.

@@Mars-ev7qg well, government sectors have stopped hiring degree students and have made a list of courses or expertise needed. Though people are still taking courses that's no one needs or the sector no longer hires.
The government has started investments for businesses and more and more people have started businesses. But slowly.
I think the government and Sultan is doing fine, I criticize the people for still believing the old ways still works. Because to me, times are changing and we are moving away from the dependence on oil which changed the economy completely. And if there is no oil left, it'll change again. But for the better? Or for the worse? It all depends on the people to me.
I'm here on September 8th 2022 , where the queen died 💔
So they get to be rich because they need some family to wave their hand 🤣
British tradition and history and national pride is all about the monarchy, without it might aswell join the USA
Down with the monarchy 🤣
If it were up to me personally, anyone in Britain who thinks we should abolish the monarchy would be deported and sent to Russia so they can live their own little communist life. We don’t need those ideals here.
@@seomi4657 yeah dude why not. They literally don't do anything, y'all just letting them be rich for no reason
so basically the royal family are just there to enjoy ..

As an african the royal family never changes its not political its life
These people are living on tax payers money.
So are illegal immigrants, fake asylum seekers and unemployed migrants living in our hotels.
I know which I'd rather support
Nope in crown estate’s money
Someone said it the best... They are the vintage Kardashians and we all are paying for it.
Every monarchy ought to be restored, and they should be celebrated.
Kingdoms should be normalised, not republics. God save the Queen and all other Kings, Queens, Emperors, Empresses, Sultans &c., &c.
1:07 almost like she's thinking "why am I having to put up with this".
I believe the Queen does technically still have power she just doesn't use it
Yes the crown can do the following still: Dissolve parliament. Veto any law. Propose any law. Declare war. Appoint prime ministers. Command the military. And much more! Plus the crown still technically "owns" the remaining members of the commonwealth including Canada!
Just an expensive decorative piece for the country.
well the british monarch was not overthrown , like the romanovs in russia.
