Queen Victoria's Gift to the rest of Europe
Incest reigns through those so-called-"royals".
The fascination with Monarchy is so undemocratic. I'm Glad I live in a Republic
I'm sure there's people in your country who are all over this story. United States was founded on overthrowing tyrannical monarchy of George III. Now they fawn over direct descendants of him. I can't identify with the royal family in the least, even during their time of "mourning".

It is estimated that the full annual cost of the British monarchy to be at least £350,000,000 a year.
And they are German. The Monarch is the biggest SCAM put upon the British People.
In 1917, the name of the royal house was changed from the anglicised German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor because of anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I. There have been four British monarchs of the House of Windsor since then: George V, Edward VIII, George VI, and Elizabeth II. Queen Victorias Husband was Prince Albert from the house of Hanover in Germany.
I find this all quite amusing as the British would say. But I might not be so amused if my Taxes were going to pay for this nonsense. Maybe the British public should take a leaf out of Queen Victorias book when she said "We are not amused"
@dermot235 Yep, they are Germans. George V and Edward VIII were also full blown Nazis. Although Elizabeth II and Mary Queen Mum, George Vi wife were filmed giving a Nazi salute, QEII gets a pass because she was just a young child, Harry was only carrying on a family tradition when he wore the swastika.
