Most of what you posted is selective and excludes income from the Duchy of Lancaster and Cornwall which go straight to the crown even though it's publicly owned property.



Separately, she is responsible for the children she raised, including the pedo. She was an absent mother and they were awful kids. Chuck is just an idiot, Anne and Edward are useless, and the pedo is the pedo.


Re: inbreeding, maybe it's common in your family, but unlike Chuck, my parents are not related. Phil was Liz's cousin, continuing a long tradition which included Victoria marrying her first cousin. I always laugh at the "V&A" Museum in London. Would be like naming a NY art museum after an Appalachain family of married cousins.

But I’ll just ask everyone to ask themselves … if you had the power and the ability to guarantee that not a single one of the Millions of children that are malnourished would go to bed hungry ever again, and all it required was a wave of your hand, and your order would be carried out, what would you do? Would you say, nah, let them starve? Why should I care? Or, would you do what any decent human being would do, and say begin immediately, and without delay! Well, for 70 years, she looked the other way.

The reality is, Elizabeth II owned more land on Earth than any other person alive. She was worth TRILLIONS, and her image can be found on the currency of several nations. As the longest reining Monarch in history, it’s not like she didn’t have plenty of time to achieve a multitude of amazing things, so it shouldn’t be hard to find a few BIG ACHIEVEMENTS to credit her with, but in reality, like most of her kind, her legacy might be measured in how many coins she tossed from her Royal Carriage as it passed, or how she might acknowledge the commoners from time to time with a wave and a smile.

Why people worship these clowns is a mystery to me.

All of this. I’m sorta surprised to see how many people on this forum are not aware of what you mentioned. Surely if they were, they wouldn’t be mourning her….

I assume you've given away every penny you own to the people living in tents in LA?

"Queen Elizabeth II has served as patron for more than 600 charity organizations, the majority of which she has served for more than 60 years. These organizations include the British Red Cross, Cancer Research U.K., Blind Veterans U.K. and Save the Children U.K. By serving as patron to these charities, the queen directs the public’s attention to important causes and helps them to raise more money than they could otherwise. She does this partly by making appearances at events put on by these charities. Most members of the royal family have a number of charities that they support, but the Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, are patrons to the greatest number.

In 2012 alone, the queen helped these organizations raise £1.4 billion. This cements her position as one of the most impactful philanthropists in the world. In addition to this impressive track record, she also donates her own money to causes close to her heart. In 2015, she sent personal money to Nepal after hearing the news of the earthquake that devastated the country."

Not a clue. Hopefully something, but never paid much attention to the British Royalty. RIP
