no, of course not. If he had an honest or decent bone in his body he would have denounced the racist message, not just a :good persons on both sides type comment" aka "nasty joke". Pathetic. as is your defense of Trumps abject racism. -

Will the world end if either Trump or Harris is elected on Nov. 5th?
Unfortunately, America is a very difficult thing to escape. I have been trying to escape American news for over 40 years. American culture is just too strong for me. -

Prince Andrew’s Financial Independence: King Charles Cuts Royal Support
Do you know where the money for the Crown comes from? Apparently you do not. Neither you, nor the UK taxpayer are directly paying. The Sovereign Grant, formerly known as the Civil List, is a set percentage of the Crown Estate profits that is given to the royal family each year to cover the costs of their activities on behalf of the UK. This is approximately 25% of the profits. The balance of profits go to the to the public purse and are used to pay for things such as the generous benefits UK citizens receive. The Royals Family may own crown jewels and some fine arts, but the assets are frozen in that they cannot be sold or taken out of the UK without the permission of the government. It may be theirs, but they can not sell it. Your anti monarchists can claim as they wish, but their sums are sus and unsubstantiated. Even if 510 million, it is a small cost considering the income the monarchy generates for the people of the UK. As per the Regional Studies.org, Recent attempts to measure the size of the impact of the royal family on UK tourism have estimated the capital value of UK monarchy as a business to be £67.5 billion+ and the annual contribution to the UK economy to be £1.766 billion. These estimates included indirect economic effects on tourism, trade, media and arts.
