Whilst I will never understand what people get out of manically waving at a complete stranger and out of standing outside her big house ... I do recognise that it is a weird cash cow and it draws people from all over the globe ... so they should just get on with it.

But it's so handy for popping down to Harrods.

Has Her Majesty started shopping at Harrods again Khandro. I was sure that she had boycotted the place when the Egyptian was in charge.

What is the £93m the Queen is getting?

[Togo]

Family allowance and pension.

[Khandro]

Togo; Quite right, I'd forgotten that spat with Al Fayad. Still, she can always nip across Green Park to Fortnum and Mason's for her Scotch-eggs.

[THECORBYLOON]

If the Queen is getting £93m in state benefits I think a quick 'phone call to the National Benefit Fraud Hotline is in order. Wonder if she's collecting her mum's widow's pension still..?

is it means tested ?

[Togo]

Yep and Queen Victoria's.

[THECORBYLOON]

Widow's Pension isn't means-tested no.

[johnny.5]

£370 Million ??
Isn't That what was going to be put into the NHS the day after we voted for brexit ?

johnny5 ^ That was laughingly dismissed as a 'Joke' by BoJo ( the man who thought up the slogan) the morning after the referendum!

The palace is owned by the nation, not the Royal Family.

//The palace is owned by the nation, not the Royal Family.//

The ones who don't want to ,or don't feel, part of the "Nation" have of course a different agenda to pursue. All dressed up in concern for ......the "Nation".

As discussed and shown many many times johnny. That was always just a lie put about by remainers muck spreading and hoping to fool the gullible.
