What Do The Royals Do .....

[Bazile]

Between them they patrons of hundreds of charities.

The Queen gets several hundred letters a day,which all have to to get a response. Her staff deal with most of them , but there are still some that she has to read personally. She also reads and if necessary asks for clarification on every government bill before she signs it.
Yes, she has to sign them, but she still looks at everyone and asks for clarification and advice from her government and staff. That is only a small part of what she does on a daily basis.

Eddie, that's my illusion of Her Maj shattered.

I was imagining her sitting with her feet up, sipping a gin and dubonnet whilst watching the races.

[mccfluff]

gin and dubonet together?

[Sqad]

Bazile.......I agree....it must get boring.
I would want a few "perks" to do their job.

[albaqwerty]

lol, have no idea Fluff, it would save on the washing up tho.

' perks' sqad ?

That's just so vulgar

[Sqad]

Bazile...LOL LOL I know! I know!
A taste of upmarket vulgarity does you a power of good.

[albaqwerty]

Fluff, that's the secret of their longevity, they're pickled. :-)

Baz, I suspect sqad means 'companionship'

[rowanwitch]

Apparently her majesty likes jigsaw puzzles, but far more likely any spare time is spent following her favourite hobby. Racehorses. Breeding and racing.
Charles is an obsessive gardener, but likes fly fishing and of course most of the men like shooting things. I suspect that like most of us, sharing meals and gossip with friends and family features high on the list. I wouldn't want to be a royal...... however some of the jewellery is quite nice and I wouldn't mind the queens faberge eggs.

rowan, //some of the jewellery is quite nice//

I watched the recent documentary on royal wives ..... and those diamond tiaras .... just ohh!

[rowanwitch]

There is something rather lovely about a good tiara, unlike some of the terrible versions available on the high street.

This is about the best place for replicas

[Patsy33]

Count their assets?

[naomi24]

No replicas for me. I'd want the real thing. I'm very fond of diamonds. :o)

[ethandron]

I could put up with all the problems of being Royal as I'd get first class..immediate..medical treatment for even the smallest problem, lovely food cooked for me, lots of nice clothes, very nice accommodation(s), access to whatever hobbies I was into.
Yeah, I could cope :)
