Meanwhile, this from last year ;

More recent figures for the contribution to the UK economy rise as high as £2.5bn per year, either way, the country makes quite a profit out of them overall.

As to 1p per day, well thats £3.65 per year, a little higher than 77p or £1.29, but still pretty insignificant, it wouldnt even get you a pint of beer these days.
Speaking of trustworthy sources how's that 2.5 billion they contribute made up?

The campaign group Republic, which promotes republicanism in the United Kingdom, claims that the full annual cost of the British monarchy is at least £345,000,000 a year, when including lost revenue from the two duchies, security, costs met by local councils and police forces, and lost tax revenue.

At least four times the cost they'd have us believe
You really are a bitter person.

The Royal Family are an asset to the UK, enrich our history and provide endless opportunity for comment (and fun).

Don't think they are an asset any longer. Times have changed, other countries are looking to dump our Royal wasters too. They can't even get anyone to bother to host the Commonwealth games any longer. We're an insignificance.

"Times have changed" is a vague statement, "times" always change. What specific change(s) are you referring to ?

Surely, it must be dead easy to give me a figure?

I’m actually going to revise mine down to 77p per person.

I look forward to hearing from you.
I spent some time doing calculations. Two questions:

*Do I include the suitcases and bags of cash he took from the Qataris?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...in-qatari-cash

*Do I include the money he collected from dead people?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-dead-citizens

(Satire, not sarcastic)

You do like stirring it up! It's the first thing that came to mind across the country when the pregnancy was announced.

Yeah - right (unless you didn't know Meghan was expecting).

It was a translation error... :erm:

It's more odd they're still classing it as a racist comment to ask if the baby will be black or whatever.

Don't be so presumptuous, some of us wondered what colour hair the little one would have.
