Your tax dollars at work. Long past the time for the monarchy to become extinct.

Haven't really been a fan of Queen since Freddie Mercury died.

The Queen only uses tax money on official events. The Royal Family has plenty of cash of their own that didn't originate from the taxpayer.

But I guess bitching about it is easier than fact checking.

NPR NPR:

The Royal Family paid its bills thanks mostly to a taxpayer-funded grant of 31 million pounds from the British government

Huh, it turns out that bitching is just as easy as fact checking. How 'bout that.

From what I've read in the past, the money given the Royals is for upkeep of their residences.

She didn't buy it for him anyway, CBC messed up the story. She leased it.
