So the British tabloids can write gossip about them.

I really do hope some of you people have seen Stephen Colbert in London.

Tax dollar celebrities? I can't understand how something like that can stand in Britain.

Amongst other pomp and circumstance, the Royal Family is tradition and they also bring about a HUGE amount of revenue in via tourism to the country. I don't know the exact terminology on this but some portion of something that has to do with the Royal Family is tax exempt but Queen Elizabeth, for a great number of years, has voluntarily paid the taxes anyway. Bob is the one who educated me on the Royal Family and their purpose. When he's got time and is able to return, I bet he'll be more than happy to give us all a history lesson. Bob knows everything about history. If you want to know something about history, ask Zeni or Bob.

Screw monarchy!
