People care a lot less than the royals than Kim Kardashian. Does that make you feel any better?

Well they do draw in the tourists to Britain and tourism in Britain brings huge revenue for the country so...I guess in that sense, they do have jobs representing British culture and basically all things British.

LOL...
So many misunderstandings of the royals prevail here...they seem to be non-productive, but they actually are. Behind all the hyper and glory of their titles, life can be quite a challenge for them in a different way.

I don't particularly care for most of the royals but I think you'll find that Prince William has worked all his adult life, many years as a helicopter rescue pilot, and still pilots an air ambulance helicopter.

Glad someone started a thread. All the media coverage makes me sick. I don't know how people in good conscience could live like they do, so extravagantly, and have the U.S. lap it all up. The U.S.! It's like Marie Antoinette goes to Brooklyn. "Let them eat Little Debbies!"

Disgusting.

Tourist don't get to see the royal family. They do get tours of historical sites.

I didn't say he never worked, but if he's currently working as an air ambulance helicopter pilot then he's a long way from his job.

Yes, disgusting your knowledge is so lacking, he's a helicopter rescue pilot. What do you do that is so worthy?

I agree. I get sick and tired of hearing about them. Reminds me of the Kardashians. Who cares?
