If  there’s any justice to be found on this planet the monarchy will be abolished long before she sits on any throne Read more

This is even worse than that. There’s just no real way you’re getting even a studio flat for £758 within reasonable commuting range of the parts of London the Royals hang out in. £1000+ would be more likely. Read more

Why wouldn’t they offer you room and board if you’re employed for the FUTURE QUEEN of ENGLAND lmao. Damn they’ve got a tight choke hold on those purse strings, makes me wonder how broke the crown is. Down with the country being run by the elderly, guess that also fits here in America XD
