      Mehul Gera The UK did not get rich through any legitimate and non-violent pursuits instead they ran grand schemes and simultaneously accumulated wealth through practically stealing products in a system where they would tax the citizens and then use that money to buy products which then it would be practically free and they would export for a even greater markup. The Uk just scammed to their way of wealth.

      wow, you made a great point, i actually thought they would be losing majority of their wealth to be independent, turns out it is only 5%, if losing 5% of wealth can exchange for
      - not having to do all the diplomatic & charity work as a royal
      - get to lift the restrictions & limits to further commercialize their brand (eg Disney), and thus expand their wealth
      - gain more self authority in deciding what to do with their fame/brand
      then i guess it is a good bargain

      @@sparx180 the queen dosen't have to pay a cent of tax if she doesn't want to. She does voluntarily pay just enough taxes to make herself look good. However there is no reason to believe that she's paying her fair share as her tax returns are effectively top secret. If the queen was paying her fair share then the first thing she would do is send her tax return to the times of London. On top of all of that there is no reason to believe that Charles or who ever comes after him will continue to pay any taxes. A recent report said the the royal family is more secretive than MI-5. The British freedom of information act specifically exempts the entire royal family from all freedom of information act requests. So basically the royal family has a license to steal.

They make money for you, not the other way around.

    There's a flaw in this. If the monarchy is removed, the House of Windsor will just reclaim all the crown estate from the UK government, given the fact that they haven't given up ownership of the Crown Estate. They just give up the revenue from the estate to the UK government as per the treaty, and get sovereign grant instead. The government doesn't own the crown estate. It is owned by the House of Windsor. In case the monarchy is abolished, the treaty becomes null and void, and the Windsors suddenly have on their hand a multi billion dollar estate.

    Another way that the Royal Family earn money: They own a huge park in and around Windsor called the Great Park which is owned by the Crown Estate. They charge a lot of money for people to live on, visit or build on the park. They also own a few restaurants and cafes by the park. (They just raised the car parking prices so I’m quite upset about that)
