Re: Duchess is in Labour
General US impression with the Royal British financial system is that the Monarch is an image which holds its' own wealth like what "fort knox" used to be... something on that level.
British citizens spoil the blue bloods? Your taxes support the Queen?
It seems so illegal... They are spoiled directly on your back and they are proud of it? They seriously collect everyday?
That would never fly here.
On this side of the pond, anyone in power is an incumbent (a high end slave, if you will whose income is part transparent and part creative) and has an obligation to serve those who voted their position. I guess it's that western badass mentality.
But no way is money willingly cushioning anyone in power around here. If they dare, heads spin to bananaville, sans zipcode.
If a politician has an expensive toilet on taxpayers dollars, a picture is more of a risk that driving drunk with the illegitimate child and a shovel in the trunk. I kid you not.

She also has to bite her tongue when her Ministers now take oaths swearing loyalty etc to the European Union - something our constitution expressly forbids them from doing...........
