Dont you think royal families are a waste of time and money in countries that are democracies?
Answer: Och man they make so much money for Britain it would make your eyes water. And we still have the right in a true democracy to take the pissss out of them. Remember Spitting Image. Think why all those tourists come to London - they have no history - like, sorry Americans,who feel they have come home and lust over our Monarchy. Personally, I would ditch the whole lot of them especially Charles because he is nuts but not enough nuts to have someone clean his arrrse for him. I like the Queen she is a hardy old trout and I bet my new handbag from Bid T.V. that she gets fed up to the back incisors having to shake all those grovelling tittts, dressed up like local councillors, newly painted buildings, bogs and boats. Drink the champers yourself your Majesty, you do your hours can't critisize any woman whether royal or not for doing that. The French would have their Royals back in a shot, but they were revolting so it serves them right.

What should I do to convince French to restore monarchy and be more respectful towards ROYALS?
They dont have any interest,they laugh of British and other Royals comparing them to circus(not all),English and British for most is the same,the descendants of aristocratic families should pay for their legal official titles.What could I do?As I am French and it is sad to see this.
Answer: I don't think there is anything you COULD do to convince France to restore it''s monarchy ..... or even to be more respectful towards Royals.
The world is not a respectful place anymore, and very few groups of citizens in ANY country have much respect for the leaders of their own country, much less a leader of another country.
Unless a second Ice Age happens, or some dreadful plague that wipes out most of the populations of most of the countries of the world, I just can't think of a circumstance that would result in a country like France being able to completely overhaul it's form of government to the extent that they would have another monarchy.
The few countries which still have monarchies have them because the relationships between the Royals and the people have been successful throughout centuries. Those countries....like France and Russia.... where the relationship just became totally unworkable..... ditched their monarchs and never have an intent to have monarchs again.
So...nothing you can do.

What is the best start to a KC ROYALS season?
Im trying to find out the best starts to a season by the Kansas City Royals in terms of most games won before a loss and, separately, best start through the first month.
Answer: The 2003 Royals opened the season 9-0.
The best seasonal winning percentage through 30-April for any Royals team was in 1978, when they were at .737 (14-5).
The most wins the team has had in April is 16, in both 1989 (16-8, .667) and 2003 (16-7, .696). The Royals also went 1-0 in March 2003, giving them a 17-7 (.708) record on 30-April.

What is the common language that ROYALS use?
Japans Crown Princess Masako speaks English and French, while Denmarks Queen Margrethe II is fluent in French and English, and Queen Elizabeth II speaks French. What is the common language that all Royals use in conversing with other Royals when they are attending another Royals funeral, anniversary, wedding or birthday celebration?
Answer: It does depend how many Royals are present and what countries they are from.
If a lot of Royals are present (for state occasions, jubilee celebrations, official birthdays, etc), it is more than likely all of them converse in English - the accepted international language.
If a smaller number of Royals is present and they all know each other, they'll speak the language all of them are best versed in, or the language of the host country (if they all know it).
In other words, not very different to how most people from different countries, Royal or not, communicate.

What austerity measures are the ROYALS taking since all other Brits are being asked to sacrifice?
The Prime Minister and government are asking Britons to scale back. Public employees are being asked to take cuts in their pensions. People are demonstrating in the streets about the horrible state of the British economy. So...what are the Royals doing to scale back their spending?
Answer: There will not be any,you see the children of Her Majesty are a selfish shower of "Me,me's " or also known as "Want,wants " the Queen on the other hand is more than frugal,a bit mean actually ,but put that down to age .
When did you ever see the likes of Princes,Charles and Andrew give a "toss",no.you haven't have you ? As much as Diana got a lot of stick,you have to hand it to her that her sons were taught to value their position and not to be as flippant as their uncles and Grandfather ,hopefully their children can learn well,but with Royalty being Royalty I very much doubt it ,you only have to look at the bloated ones children ,Beatrice and Eugenie to see what I mean.

What kind of power do the British ROYALS have, and where do they get their wealth?
Im a clueless American who is baffled by the fact that there are modern societies that still have some sort or rulers based on blood line. Im assuming political power belongs entirely to the Prime Minister and his crew (when and how did that invade the monarchy?) and that taxes are collected for that government. Whats the point of the Royals today (other than tabloid news) and where do they get their wealth?
Answer: You're broadly right. The British Royal family generally have few legal roles apart from the Queen herself, although they are immune from various laws like planning permission (local government has to authorise that any building work is safe, but the royal family can do what they like).
The Queen is in name the Head of State, the head of the armed forces and the head of the Church of England. In practice she is not allowed to actually exercise any authority or even display any preferences. The cost of keeping the whole royal family is estimated as £41.5m (about $70m?) per year, although this is not all as cash paid directly to them (only £7.9m) - a lot of it goes as money spent upkeeping the various estates. In addition there is the cost of security provided by the police and the army, which is not published.
However, this money is offset against money paid to the treasury in income tax, capital gains tax (in the UK, if you buy property cheap, and it goes up in value and you sell it expensively, this difference is subject to capital gains tax), and in earnings from various estates they own - these earnings are paid to the state in exchange for the £7.9m mentioned above. The Royal family own an enormous amount of land. One set of land alone, the Crown Estates, is worth £6.2 billion, and makes profits of around £200m per year which are paid to the state, which alone heavily outweighs the cost of the Royal family. In addition there are the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster which are probably worth another £1bn.
From our point of view, financially, it benefits us to have these holdings associated with the state rather than a private business, as a lot more money flows back into the state than it would do otherwise. Most of their wealth is based on stuff they inherited, or proceeds from the estates, or businesses based on the estates. Prince Charles owns a company that makes biscuits (Duchy Originals). They're quite nice!
Politically, the point of keeping the Queen as Head of state is to provide some sort of counterbalance, albeit even only theoretical, to the Prime Minister. Most countries have two houses of government and a Head of State; the US has the House, the Senate and the President. The British Prime Minister controls the House of Commons (roughly equivalent to the House); the House of Lords (even more roughly equivalent to the Senate) is much weaker than the Commons; so he actually has much more direct authority than the President of the US, so it's important that there is some counterbalance. The British PM cannot actually seize power as a dictator because technically the army belongs to the Queen and she has the authority to dissolve parliament. The Queen cannot seize power because it would cause a revolution.
This situation has basically evolved over the last 350 years or so because, as revolutions happened all across Europe and various Kings and Queens were beheaded, the British Monarchy looked at it and thought, we would rather give power back a bit at a time, than suffer a revolution and lose it all. The ball was started by our own Civil War, 1642-1651, followed mainly by a period of dictatorship, until we re-established a monarchy that had to listen to parliament in 1660. This gradual constraining of the monarchy has continued right up until 1992 when they started paying income tax.
So - what's the benefit of keeping them? People have different opinions and it kind of comes down to taste. From my point of view the finances are pretty even or actually profitable for the country. For me it's a matter of style. For me, there is no other person in the world whose title is as impressive as the King or Queen of England. For sheer grandeur and symbolism nothing can touch it. The President of the United Stated comes second - but to be honest, he's only going to be there for eight years, and there is a reasonable prospect that one day Sarah Palin could have that title.
I think history and symbolism are important, especially in trying to create a nation; trying to make millions of people who don't know each other unite under the same banner. That is why America has worked so hard to elevate the idea of the President to an almost religious status. If you have something that's richly symbolic and you throw it away it's hard to build it up again.
I'm not especially into these particular people. I'm sure they're no better or worse than a lot of other people. But the idea of the monarchy is so central to the idea of what it means to be British, that, at a time when we're struggling for an idea of national identity as it is, it would be too destructive to rip it out. And they don't actually do any harm or cost any money.

What is the main thing that must change for the ROYALS to be successful?
I am a huge die-hard Royals fan!I have seen them continue to struggle over the years.Many people have their own opinion about what the main problem is with the team but everyones opinion differs.
Answer: The main thing has already been done.
They hired a new GM. That is the first step.
I feel your pain.
As a Tiger fan, I suffered through 2003.
Dave Dombrowski was hired as The Tiger's new President in 2001, and in 2002 fired Randy Smith as GM, and took over those duties.
Since then, he has re-stocked our farm system and made some good trades and signings.
You just have to keep the faith. These kind of things take 4-5 years to come together.
The Tigers did it, I know KC can do too!

How do we know the tourists come for the ROYALS?
To justify why the royal family is so important to Britain royalists continuously bleat about how the royal family bring fortunes into the country through tourism. How do we know this? I think tourists would still come with or without the royal family because of the heritage and the history etc. After all they dont actually see the Royals anyway. In my opinion people who use this argument are just surmising, they dont have proof, so therefore its wrong to say it. What does everyone else think?
Answer: Yes, I do know that tourists come here because of Royalty here. I know that Japanese tourists come to Britain and time their visit for the Trooping of the Colours and Japanese people tend to spend a lot of money.

Answer: Dear John, That is what a monarchy is. It saves money by not having elections and stops the embarrassment of having to admit to, having the likes of a, George Dubya Bush as president and running the country.

What proof is there that tourists visit Britain because of the ROYALS?
Why do people always say we need the Royals because they encourage tourists? How do they know that? The facts are that out of the 20 most visited places in Britain, a royal building, (windsor castle) comes only 17th. This fact surely must dispel the much used myth about why people visit Britain?
Answer: Having many American friends i can assure you that not one of them having visited this country have even mentioned the Queen or the royal family,and one in particular visitor stated why would he travel all the way to Britain to look at an ordinary woman who represents an outdated establishment and as far as his family WERE OF NO INTEREST.

Are the ROYALS supposed to be doing anything about the UK Riots?
I dont know much about the UK government system ( I live outside of the UK ), but arent the Royals supposed to be doing something about the UK Riots? It seems that Prince William has been awfully quiet about the situation, and I read somewhere that the couple has gone into hiding or so. I know that The Prime Minister is working his butt off, but the Royals seem to be doing nothing. Is this riot even their business to worry about?
What was the purpose of the whole celebrated and elaborate Royal Wedding if the Royal family is useless in these times?
Answer: Nope..
The British monarchy is only good for a couple things..
1) The Queen keeps the Prime Minister in check if need be. Royalty doesn't run the country... That's what parliament is for. She has the authority to oust him/ her when the sh/t hits the fan --as long as she wants to-- most likely with the request from the majority...again parliament and maybe from citizens if the sht is thick enough. (Has never happened to my knowledge). A last minute safety net, if you ask me.
2) Royalty has been around since... well, who knows, a long time and nowadays it's mainly for show and ceremony.
Personally I believe now would be the perfect time for law-abiding citizens to propose a license to carry bill... Guns aren't outlawed completely. Shotguns are available, however, after a series of permits and taxations, etc.. It's hell to acquire one, so I hear. The police are horrible over there.
If you were to call the police because you were getting robbed, the only way they're going to show up soon is if you threaten to use deadly force (or any type of force). The police don't really do anything for your standard Joe.. They are more worried about breaking up the fight or preventing ANYONE from being hurt, including the perpertrator. Actually, I'm not even sure you can threaten to use deadly force. (It might be against the law for owning a firearm).
The chief of police (I think)-- somebody okayed water cannons, but lets be for real... These rioters, they could give 2 shtz about innocent lives. Their objective is to destroy/ loot/ burn/ harm others to get their message across.
A nice machine gun or two would do a fine job, I believe, though it's just a personal suggestion.
I'm an American though, so my 2 cents are worthless.
