"It's CORRUPTION!" Piers Morgan Debates The Royal Family's Value With Anti-Monarchists
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2023
- Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by CEO of Republic Graham Smith and anti-monarchist and UA-camr Alex O'Connor to try and prove Piers Morgan wrong about the monarchy being worthwhile for the country.
Piers believes that the Royal Family does more good than harm and that they bring in a lot of money for the country. Graham believes that he would rather see the money that the Royal Family use to upkeep properties and travel, directly used on fixing homelessness in this country.

I'm amazed Piers actually put this video up because he comes across really badly and loses the argument spectacularly.
Yes!😂
it's embarrassing that this format still exists. what should be a discussion lasting an hour or two, crammed into 9 minutes of people talking over each other where nobody has a chance to really make their argument and the viewer comes away having learned nothing
Right on.
It's TV is it not. No TV channel would ever allocate one hour to such a discussion.
@@clarke1319 probably why fewer and fewer people watch TV. This format gets more vestigial every year.
Different formats for different reasons
@@bentrend Been like that for as long as I can remember. For me I hardly ever watch TV.
Piers kryptonite, mild mannered guest with valid points.
Valid points? 😂😂😂😂These anti-monarchists didn't explain a decent reason as to why the monarchy should be removed aside from the fact that it's an "undemocratic system". Which is completely false, the UK is a constitutional monarchy, which is classified as a democratic system and in fact is a lot more democratic than some nations with "democratic elections" and no monarchy.
What these people are trying to do is remove the culture and tradition from UK society. Furthermore, they also tried arguing that the monarchy doesn't bring in increased tourism, when it's a simple logical fact that royal events will increase tourism, even if they want to deny it.
They don't have a stable argument, and the vast majority of people from the UK are for the monarchy. These people are simply outliers, and as you can guess are avid supporters of the Labour party, whereas the vast majority of people in the UK and especially England are conservative in nature. The only people who would think these fools "bodied" Piers, are people who have no idea of English tradition, I mean even I can understand and I'm Australian.
WHEN!?.......He got tag teamed with facts, got angry, then cut things short. You blind!? 🤭🤣
Also helps that Morgan's position is dogshit, the royal family is useless.
Piers, if you want your guests to prove you wrong, you have to let them speak.
That's the thing, he doesn't
They still proved him wrong.
he does, do you watch piers or just the videos you want..? uneducated comment by you
@flipf615 Did he do that here? If not, the comment is spot on since it was posted under this video.
@@carpediem5232 about piers, but i get it thats what political people do all the time. take one thing from a broad spectrum and try to skew it. thanks for proving the point
Piers got absolutely owned
Love to see how Piers lets his guests speak without interrupting.
Piers interrupting his guests is like breathing oxygen, he can't go without it.
He never stops interrupting he is a bully
its almost an charicature
You mean, the first 5 sec of their speech before they are interrupted by him, right? :)
@@NikolayNikolay25 yea, can you believe it? He held in for entire 5 seconds. How does he do it? Piers is a saint.

Love how it took about 30 seconds for Pierce to break his rules and come out swinging
PIERS I do believe.
agreed, its so obnoxious because you can't even hear what the other are saying.
@@stratfordbaby it’s a stupid name anyway so spell it however
Actually, 14:88 seconds 😂
I mean when your only argument is "but they have parties tho" you start flailing
NOPE! Outsiders watching the coronation DID NOT think better of Britain because if it. Most outsiders think its a very outdated and undemocratic tradition, actually. Im from the Caribbean and I can tell you that we are NOT interested in the royals, we actually want to get rid of them as our Head of State.
Source: trust me bro
@@ZombieGaming-su5jw You are totally right, the United Kingdom is basically only held together by the fact the Royal Family did all the heavy lifting when it came to uniting with Scotland, Wales and the overseas territories.
How monarchy are outdated? When democracy are same age with monarchy.
Piers constantly interrupted and still got destroyed 😂
I'm not sure he was expecting such eloquent and logical guests...
These two guests beat Piers at arguing their case.
Agreed
How can somebody prove you wrong when you constantly interrupt them?
If guest were allowed to speak this could actually be a ok show.
If they stopped having knobhead guests on it would be even better.
Don’t speak such a logical comment in the Piers Morgan comment section!!
You're not allowed to point out the obvious 🙂
@@carolegardner855 Ahhh a true Morgan Zealot
I guess "Piers Morgan Uncensored" only means for himself and not his guests. Ironic.
The way Piers smiled and blushed after Alex said the king would look like him 😂😂😂
I like it when Piers argues with logic and fact, this episode to me felt like, 'I like the royal family and I don't care what anyone says'
The other guys had valid points which Piers just ignored.
The fact he called himself one of the worlds eminent thinkers made me physically recoil from the cringe.
He's a Murdoch psyop what do you expect lmfao
theyre valid because theyre right, the monarchy should be abolished
Yes, he's a moron and I hate that he keeps talking over people
He is obviously on their payroll.
Piers should take his own advice, he doesn’t like Harry and Megan but never stops talking about them. He brings people onto his show and never lets them talk their points through, he constantly interrupts to stop his guests getting the better of him.
that's what i don't like about him ,he invites people on with a different opinion then keeps interrupting as they try to make their point.
Someone described him as a Shock Jock.
Not a debate... just Morgan shouting over two people trying to talk oh dear!
And the normal tactic of swinging the topic off topic and shouting stuff like "What do you have against homeless people!?" just stupid!
He seem to do this when he knows he will lose
what folks dont get is that Morgan is the Jerry Springer of talk…he is entertaining and outrageous, and absolutely bulldozes his guests…and his millions of viewers adore it
@@gramma677 It's a segment specifically for allowing his mind to be changed according to his words.
How can you pretend to have an open mind then talk over people non-stop I can't believe you're defending this clownery.
Piers Morgan is such a great whistle blower. He literally blew up every argument he stands for.
The royals don't bring in tourism, _Royal sites_ do. Tourists don't actually get to meet the king 😂. The sites will be there with or without them.
Piers has a habit of defending dodgy characters, he defended schofield, defended the royal family when andrew was found out to be a groomer, and has a dislike to anyone that has animal welfare concerns 😂, what a guy, honestly 👏👏
When was Prince Andrew, "...found to be a groomer"? The operative word in your statement is, "...*found* to be..." (My asterisks - used for emphasis) Those words are stated as if it's a FACT and it is NOT! So tell me, when did this historic event happen? When a decades old photo was produced? When a certain woman, who wanted some money, made an accusation whilst producing said photo? Was it a lascivious photo? (Rhetorical question) You call this PROOF? I stand by Prince Andrew and the Royal Family.
@@charmaynebruce6215 well then I feel sorry for you that you choose to be ignorant to abhorrent actions from your royal family, I said "found out" because basically everyone knew and there was an out of court settlement to make the accusation go away,. You heard of that right??
Just look at the interview with Andrew and then come back to comment.
Ignorance at its finest when one supports something they know nothing about

I call the debate and I don’t let anyone talk … Piers such a funny dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
86 million that could go to schools and the NHS. 86 million that could go towards those of us who are struggling in a financial crisis. That could go on fairer wages. Problem is that politicians will get that money instead and it will just go towards their bonuses.
This “prove Piers wrong” segment is a little self-defeating when Piers interrupts you to tell you why you’re wrong, but of course I’m stating the obvious..
Piers lost again 😂😂😂😂
People suffering poverty and they over spend 20 million dollars?
We do not have poverty in this country. Secondly the king gave billions from his own private estate income…. The monarchy is a financial plus for the county, if you are against people struggling financially you should support the monarchy
Would you rather that £20million of their own money went to giving everyone else 30p?
If they gave away that 20 mill you'll still have people suffering from poverty
He was also best mates with the worst peado in the country and defends his dirty filthy brother. If you back that man then you need your hard drive checked
@@Czybmnxn"Their" money?.... Where'd they get that money from?
Piers cannot allow the guests to speak or else he would be shown up.
If you're familiar with Alex off his own platform, you'd understand why Piers won't let him finish any of his points. He's much smarter than Piers but unfortunately lacks the aggression nessecary to debate him
I don't think Piers is aware of how smart Alex is.
@@mad-official there is a reason for that ahaha
He’s not bright enough to see that financially the monarchy is a net gain for the country. It’s not an opinion it’s a fact
@@jamiejosh96 A net gain? Not an opinion but fact? What are you smoking m8 I want to borrow some please.
@@purpleprinc3 well again not an opinion it’s a fact
I belly laughed when piers regards himself as an eminent thinker. Car crash TV watching piers make a fool of himself yet again
I travelled over from Oz solely for our Gracious Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee last year. I spent over ten thousand pounds on travel, accommodation, restaurants, tours, pubs, train transport, taxi’s and did all the usual sightseeing in London and all around the UK for 6 weeks. London was electric as was the entire UK. If not for this magnificent occasion, I would not have come. The Royals are a wonderful institution and an extremely valuable asset to the nation. Two couples I know from Melbourne went over for the Coronation and I held a Coronation party at home. They are well loved and supported by myself and my friends in Oz.
Good if you have that money to spend.
Some people struggle to put a roof over their head, while you fritter away your high income on overseas trips. Nice to know.
The elitists love the Royal Family.
@@dhenderson1810 I am not a high income earner, in fact it was my retirement gift to myself. I worked hard for 48 years and have always loved the Royal Family. This was a trip of a lifetime for me and I was happy to splash out whilst I was still able to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I find your comment a tad offensive as my budget and my health will not allow another trip but coming to see the Jubilee was the best money I have ever, or will ever spend in my life.
You don't live here though so your opinion is irrelevant. It might look good from the outside looking in but The royal family do nothing for the people of the uk. They don't pax taxes, they have an absolute forture of weath including hundreds of millions worth in jewellery alone, all while there's thousands of homeless on our streets starving every day. Oh, and they protect child abusers.
dont blame the rf for your income dear
Why do you not let your guest answer the question instead of constantly interrupting them. That is crazy!!!!
What will the UK be without the monarchy? Just another random country on the map. People are mad if they think removing them will bring the UK any benefits.
Good to see Alex O'Connor like this. He'd put up a great debate if he was ever given an opportunity to speak.
Why watch this then if you are going to complain?
@@meatloafandmeThe ironic part being that you are now complaining. 🤣 🤦🏼♂️
@@meatloafandme Because I like Alex. I like Piers too, just wish he'd let people speak.
THIS MAN ALEX HAS NO CLUE ABOUT A REPUBLIC WITH AN ELECTED HEAD OF STATE - I DO - I HAD TO LIVE FIVE DECADES IN A REPUBLIK !
@@christianliechtenstein4879 there are plenty of republics in the world that are fine... the whole of Scandinavia for a start... ✌️
Even with interrupting every second Piers still got owned. Imagine Piers going on a moderated debate against Alex.
Piers can't be convinced of anything because he can't keep his mouth shut enough to hear the other side.. he will let ppl he agree with talk..plus he just doesn't like facts🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
As my poor late mother would say, he loves the sound of his own voice! She failed to notice my father's reaction to this statement, as he often wished she would shut up!!😅
@@pathopewell1814😂😂😂
So the Royal Family has become a tourist attraction now? What does the royal family do which cannot be accomplished by ordinary citizens, and for much less of taxpayers' money (which the r.f. does not contribute to!)
I have never seen Piers allow a guest to speak without childish interruptions unless they agree with him.
Piers proved them right from the first minute
Piers!!! Honestly if your going to bring people on your show to prove you wrong. At least have the respect to listen to the facts of your guests and stop acting like a school kid throwing insults around. They do have valid points that need addressing and as someone who is English born and breed. I totally agree and would like to know if the royals cost more than they bring in. If that's the case then everyone who's homeless should fight to get frid of the royal family and the sale of all royal goods and estates, could go to pay for new houses, extra pay for NHS workers and so on...This is definitely a discussion that needs to happen as the world is economically crippled.
THANK YOU finally someone said it.
I would like to make clear that I do love the tradition of this country and the fact that the royals are a positive thing about the UK. But in a world of financial disaster and so many economical problems. If we are keeping the royals around solely for the sake of tradition, then this should not be allowed if its costing the country way more than it actually helps. If it turns out that they do bring in huge amounts of money that offset all of their expenses, then I don't have an issue with them remaining. The world is a very different place than it was a 100 years ago and we do have to now look into these kinds of issues.
And the money saved would be spent on addressing issues such as problems in society,NHS etc.You trust our politicians to use money saved on this? I don’t.
@@corinneashworth6704 To be fair your probably right. If I understand you correctly then I also think that even if we got rid of the royal family the money we save would probably end up going to other non important things instead of the NHS and housing etc. So yes I agree that if this was to happen then hopefully normal everyday people would see the benefit of the money saved and it not just go towards funding other people that are already privileged and well off. I also wouldn't say that I don't trust any politicians as im sure some are good people, however I agree that their are probably a lot of corrupt politicians too.
If Piers has to wait until his guests are done talking this would be a three hour show and ends only because by then every viewer has given up and quit. Furthermore your comment about redistributing the royal goods and estates to enrich the poor is a statement that is pure stupidity.
They had three very unusual events that were so costly, first there was the platinum jubilee. followed by the queen's funeral, and most recently the coronation of the king. I am sure they brought in billions in tourist trade.
Didn’t
As someone from The Bahamas, the citizens could care less about the royal family. It's the government that makes it a spectacle when they visit.
Hilarious quoting "CHESHIRE ZOO IS A BIGGER ATTRACTION THAN ROYAL FAMILY", wow what a statement, but a fact also.
Most people who go to London or Great Britain go to sites that the royal family is at or goes to to take pictures. So yes it would affect tourism
Not true at all. Do you think people stopped visiting Versailles after the French revolution?
@PhilosophicalTramp-lu2mi you're delusional. Most people come here to see the monarchy. The difference between Buckingham Palace and Versailles is that monarchs actually use Buckingham Palace, which makes it stand out. Without the monarchy we are just a poor version of America
Tourism isnt just gonna stop if the monarchy ends, its not like the buildings and landmarks are going anywhere so the monarchy serves zero purpose and should be abolished
@@omnipotence8826Do you see Charles or William when you visit? Are they there to show you around?
@@omnipotence8826 what's wrong with America?
The only person who ensured Piers did not interrupt him was Kanye West. It was fabulous to watch!
Oh god no one cares about the monarchy, how can he say they show us at our best
If it wasn't for the royals i would never know that Britain exists ( not British myself)
Geography not your strong point then?
I guessing you don’t much about countries without monarchy lol

FOR SOMEONE WHO IS WELL INFORMED SEEMS LIKE HE HAS A BLINDSPOT WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY
First time I see that the guest were more persuasive than Piers 😂😂😂
Piers Morgan is truly a prominent thinker. I hear he’s had dozens of thoughts in his life.
The royal family is the shining star of England. I certainly wouldn't go there from the US to see a zoo. We have plenty over there.
I guess I have more self-respect. I would never allow some old hag and her family to rule over me. The fact that in the 21st century we still have kings and queens is truly pathetic. Good old second Amendment right there. No kings for me.
You don't go there to see the Zoo?
Oh, so you go there to see the queen/king over afternoon tea?
Then I assume you definitely are not interested in going to Egypt because all of their kings and queens are dead.
Nor would you want to visit Versaille on your visit to Paris cause their kings were kicked out too!
@user-sz9dy5si3b get over yourself. If you want to get rid of the monarchy, you really need to see what it would do to your tourism. Going to Paris, I would want to Versailles, but it wouldn't be the reason I would visit. I have no interest in visiting Egypt. Your country is unique to the rest of us...
@@RootlessCosmicWanderer I brought my whole family to visit uk for their first time when I studied in London about 7 years ago, and apparently all they care about is harry porter, paddington bear, the royal soldiers and the queen😂 and tbh that’s pretty much all what most general asian people are excited about when visiting uk. what else could be appealing? food is bad and life is so boring here that all people do during their time off is drinking. not even the tea cuz we have much better tea in china and japan
@@RootlessCosmicWanderer it is one of the very few unique things that still appeals to people out of this country. harry potter is fake, shakespeare is dead, food is boring, tea is bland (we have much better food and tea) . So yeah, for the people that’s not coming to the UK for a degree, the RF is actually quite a big deal. and btw not a single person I know from china knows about chester zoo, unfortunately 😅
I think if having a royal family means that our government doesn't get its grubby hands on the military then that's a good thing!
Exactly
Royal Family are puppets of the Rothschilds, just look at the picture of one of them pushing his finger into Charle's chest. Actually, ignore that nothing to see here keep calm and carry on.
since when did the royal family make military decisions? clearly your opinions and beliefs date back to the middle ages (hence you being a royalist) because I’m fairly certain when people discuss modern european military history they talk about blair, thatcher, churchill, not queen elizabeth. Good god you royalists are stupid
Most folks is America think it's ridiculous. The money can be spent elsewhere.
Happy 4th of July everyone!!!
'Prove Piers Wrong'- don't want to. totally crushing!
Here in America. I am very intrigued by the Royals and think they should be kept around. I think we need to try and save as much of our western heritage as possible.
and also the Spanish royals? and Japanese royals? etc, etc, etc,
For Pete's sake, let the guy get a word out.
Anti-monarchists won this one.
If people really believed that the royals should not be abolished, then they should give the monarchy full power over the country like the back in day.
The ending was pure gold! 😂
I think Harry and Meghan have shown how irrelevant the Royal Family are in modern times. They have done more damage in the years since they have been married than anything the queen faced in her 70 year rule.
Totally agree with your comment Sally. My question as always is? Surely there must be someone who can stop their disrespect to the British people and our country?
It has quickly become one of my favourite news sources. Worldwide news coverage is better than what we have locally in Denmark. 🎸😊
These guys were holding their own that's for sure
Prove Me Wrong??? Sounds like you lifted it from Steven Crowder
The UK benefits from a huge tourism draw if you destroy that expect to lose your tourism draw which impacts UK economy job losses etc
Piers dude I depend on you to protect the royal family's reputation. I can't see you get hammered like that!!!🥲😭
Abolish the monarchy give us a historical museum...
im a foreign student.. i’ve left the UK permanently now but one of the things i wish i saw more were patriots. I can respect that. Kids are too liberal nowadays..
government and monarchy full of greedy bastards, nothing to be proud of
People stay away from these kind of things. That's why 99% of hotels in London were fully booked the Royal Wedding weekend 😂
I can imagine whenever there's major events going on, people might assume traffic issues, too many people etc. plus people might stay in to watch the event on tv. this is all reasonable to think that there's less people walking around oxford street etc.
He's speaking of tourism, meaning non-British people. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just Loyalists all coming to London at once
@@imaratspal He is speaking out of his arse. An additional 70,000+ tourists visited London in the run-up to King Charles' Coronation.
Perhaps you should look at the facts rather than making assumptions that suit your narrative.
@@mancjay8946 So here's a fact, the Royal Family eats up tax dollars and gains attention from the media that could be spent to spread awareness about real issues. Unfortunately, excess and an archaic system are what money is spent on.
The Monarchy is a relic of the past that superficial fools that dream about excess worship, which is a lot of what's wrong with the world and is a bad influence on our youth.
The late queen
Had her personal money
500 million
Opps sorry i have to go

Street wise TAL........
Can someone ask Piers how someone is meant to prove him wrong if constantly interrupts any good points and doesn’t listen at all
If I, as an American 🇺🇸 were allowed to take on the £2 ? To pay for 50 UK 🇬🇧 citizens, I would ‼️
Never underestimate the value of the soft power Royals. Across the globe 🌏
American here to say that I think *any* royal event is straight clownery and the mass majority of people I know feel the same 😆 it’s impossible to take seriously
I think they had very valid points. Piers could not refute any of them and instead just attacked person. The two gentlemen won the debate hands down.
Royalty is such an outdated concept lol
No one is born better than anyone else
Exactly 💯
Considering Andrew got protected from FBI
Deflecting much...?
He says it's not a profit but it would be a tremendous loss of money for the country. Where's the plan for the money to be recouped from the people? Taxes?
The irony of Piers Morgan saying "you wake up everyday trying to end the thing you hate, why don't you just ignore it?"
When that is what he does for a living, be it about LGBT issues, Harry & Meghan, Just Stop Oil etc.
The Royal Family is Britain's his and the Empire that once ruled the world and we shall never forget that. I love the Royal family not all of them like that Harry and his money greed wife. The Family bring us money and tourists from ever corner of this world. God Save The King 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The awful cheating husband who stole another man's wife ?you mean that king ?
At least I don't live in a brainwashed country thinking it's great to rob native peoples of their natural wealth.
Piers never lets anyone speak
The day Chuck3 went political, and got a bag of cash from nowhere, ended the monarchy's raison d 'etre
Wonder why he never invited a Welsh , Scottish and northern Irish person onto the show
Harry and his girl, really opened the door to this madness.
They sound like their person opinions are facts. Silly robes? In your opinion.
If you have an open mind, you would see that Alex's opinion is actually facts. Thank God I don't live in a decrepit monarchy with some people wearing fancy robes and garnaments claiming to be hand-picked by God.
Piers invites people so they can hear him talking
Look to Norway. I can go hiking in the mountain and suddenly stumble upon the king of Norway, also hiking...
You might think this is exaggarted, but this is the reality.
It's nice.
Piers has made millions talking crap about the royal family. Piers needs the royal family for him to survive.
I'm going to be honest, these Republicans did make some convincing points which Piers did not really address.
Piers did use Ad-hominem attacks on the guests, like when he asked them if they "hate homeless people". He also interrupted them multiple times. In addition, Piers used unconvincing points such as magic and tradition, as well as showing inconsistent biases when he tried to justify the Royal Family using public funds to buy houses, when he previously scolded MPs for doing the same.
For me, a solution that I would propose would be for the monarchy to be "privatised" - they would still be recognised as Kings/Queens de jure, but would have no role in government (not even ceremonious). They can keep their palaces, but they will have 0 public funding, they will need to find their own way to make money (like everyone else). Finally, they can have their fancy weddings and have them televised, or continue with their activism, but it will all be funded by themselves.
without kings, some countries will fall into communism. i am a japanese, i saw that in asia. without kings, UK will probably go into commy.
Let the people decide…they overwhelming embrace their Royal Family…warts and all it differentiates their country, gives them further identity, brings in massive amounts of tourism and money, and gives them all fodder to Royal watch, bash, and defend.
No, we don’t.
The RF are a positive presence for the UK. They are representative of everything that is British. The history, the identity, the unity & the pride. Most of all the pageantry is admired all around the world
Could it not be just as easily represented in a museum? Could you imagine the actual benefits from tourism if Buckingham palace was fully open to the public? And you say they're representative of everything that's British, had to agree when their core idea is there chosen by a christian god to rule. Where less than half the country identifies with this religion it's is not representative.
Pride? You might want to do a bit of research.
@@Paul-ts5qw yes pride! Some people will be derogatory about the RF but like every family & every critic there are times when things could have been done differently but hindsight is a wonderful thing. I respect & admire the RF for their commitment.
@@Paul-ts5qw dont speak for everyone. i am proud to have the rf. they do alot for charitys making them known which you cant do in a museum? Infact they do alot more for the country then you would dream of doing and yet you jest
RF are an embarrassment to this country cost a fortune
They all missed one very important thing. Surprised Piers didn't point out that the monarchy actually protect this country from a military backed dictatorship as has happened in several other countries. The reigning monarch is the only other person able to command our army besides the current Prime Minister. The fact the monarch is non political is hugely important to this and to the hosting of world leaders, representing us all no matter what our political leanings are and enabling this country to have conversations with any power in the world on neutral terms. An elected head of state would never be totally unbiased politically and the people electing them would have their own political agendas strongly influencing their choice. You don't have to believe in the 'magic' of monarchy to appreciate the value in that.
@2:35 Piers lost the argument the moment he tried to qualify his statement around most watched events. Sorry, Piers, doesn't work that way.
I like the British royals and I’m not even British.
Mebbe if u were being Robbed, by them, with Ur-taxes...& Land, that Rightfully, Belongs to the Ppl...u'd Think Otherwise .
That's because you're not British, if you had to look at their inbred faces on your money every day and have had your country plundered for personal gain for hundreds of years you might feel differently.
Huge amounts of the land in Scotland is owned by the Royal Family. It belongs to the Scottish people
Piers : "Have you proven me wrong? No."
All UA-cam viewers : Actually, the abolitionists had much better points and didn't have to resort to cutting off their opponents or twisting their words.
"All UA-cam viewers" Don't lump in the majority with you, not everyone either cares or supports this.
@@David-fi9yutrue, there are a lot of pathetic, simpering royalist sycophants knocking around
If piers wants them, let him pay. The man is so shallow
have to admit the amount of people filled the streets during the jubilee I think proves these 2 men wrong
Unfortunately, these guests, can’t get a word in edgeways, as usual!
I think that money that come from tourists every year going to see the palace and because of the royals is more than what GB is spending on them. And it is true that millions of people all over the world watch the big royal events which I think is a real advertisement for GB. And of course there should be all the garments and other stuff related to royalty cause they are related to that structure and the royals everywhere are recognised by these objects. And as for the corruption, it exists in every government and political structure unfortunately.
But unless you see King Charles while you visit Buckingham Palace, you could still have tourism by keeping the buildings but scrapping the monarchy itself.
@@dhenderson1810people go because of the links to the current royal family, that is is a working palace and not some aging historic building that will eventually have everything that made it meaningful refurbished and replaced. Most tourists get disappointed elsewhere when they realise they are ‘replicas’ or what is ‘imagined’ or ‘restored’. The tourism draw is when you see these Royal events on the news and then you can go behind the scenes of a palace that is still used today.
@@Amber86queenbee Can you explain why France is more visited then, in particular how Versailles is more visited than Buckingham Palace? Or do people go there anyway, you can even go inside it, which brings more tourism. And does the amount of tourism it receieves anyway warrant the tax exemptions, hereditary power for you Id love to know
@@alpbridges3553 I don’t consider this to be an equivalent example as a huge draw of Versailles is the gardens, mirrors and paintings on the ceilings which withstand the passage of time and they have massive events such as in the summer which draw huge crowds. I am only explaining why Buckingham Palace is in demand and you don’t get that draw at any non-royal castle in England as it doesn’t have the same links.
@@alpbridges3553 that is because they are willing to spend millions of cash to build roads shopping centers and theme parks..our government just want to keep the cash for themselves. Not trying to be rude but France is willing to spend millions on there country our government is more useless than a letter box and they are not willing to spend to make the UK better.
I can name several countries that lost their Royal Family, and those countries went down the drain.
and?
Most visited country in the world is a republic country... UK as a whole doesnt even come top 5 nor does it become the first monarch country to receive more tourism. They should have mentioned that if they had a chance to talk.
Just admit when you’re beaten Piers
When they say Prince William could end homelessness without being royal….? I’m sorry WHAT? No they couldn’t that’s the point. Royalty gives them a platform to do good. I can’t just walk into any charity and raise money for it or I would.
But plenty of people can do good and not be Royals.
What about the medical people during the pandemic? They saved hundreds in lives in hospitals, while risking catching it themselves, yet they weren't Royals.
Doctors, nurses, first responders, charity workers. All do good without being Royal.
@@dhenderson1810 That's their job.
Don't talk about morality, justice, peace and love when you have a dead animal on your plate.
Im half welsh, half french. And i love the monarchy. I support the endless work they do.
