helped to raise £1.4bn for charity.... so not much then....

royalist haters get over yourselves. talking about modern world, someone ruling over us, divine right.. etc etc. all complete garbage.

Do you honesty think people give money to charities and one of their considerations is about a royal being a patron?

 

[Danthus]

I have a colleague from South Africa who was over here last year and he was desperate to go to the Tower of London to see the crown jewels and Buckingham palace. He was asking me so many questions about our royals and our history. He was totally enthused by the whole thing and I felt a bit embarrassed I didn't know more.

It is only the British that don't like the pomp and circumstance it seems. Everyone else who isn't a miserable cynic sees what they represent for this nation.

The Tower of London and Buckingham Palace would continue to be tourist attractions if we didn't have a Monarchy.

Without the monarchy they wouldn't have existed in the first place.

The greatest argument for keeping the monarchy is that no-one wants to see David Cameron on their money.

Not a bloody clue tbh,Shove her in an old peoples home and open Buckingham palace for the immigrants to live in i say.

Regardless happy bday queenie \o/.

+1,

Happy Birthday your Majesty!

I too would like to wish our monarch a very happy 90th birthday. A fantastic reign, a remarkable lady.

90 years old and still working, Happy Birthday Maam. A national treasure.

Happy Birthday Dear queen!

Do you suppose if she reaches 100 that she will send herself a birthday card?

 

[platypus]

Long may her reign continue.

Agreed, happy birthday your maj.

Shame we didnt get a BH though .

I don't think she'll read this thread guys. Maybe send her a card or summat.

The entire UK royal family lets down to the 30th Cousin (+ close friends) will be shot and mess left over will be fed to the pigs.

I'm seeing it all over facebook. I didn't realise she was on so many people 'friends' lists. I'll have to send her a friends request.

Only the 30th cousin? I think that's about two eighths of the way through their European bloodline...

I love it when people say "Oh hasn't she/he done well to get to XX age".

Well you would to if you lived in luxury all your life, Never worked a day in your life apart from cutting a ribbon and got everything paid for you.

There's also the curse of being a Royal. I very much doubt they can do anything and I mean absolutely anything we would consider normal. It's very different from being just wealthy.

 

[Sandycheeks]

Yeah, I don't consider what she does as working.
I'm sure she has duties, like the opening of parliament, a long standing tv series with 1 episodes every year, and making Phils tea.
I think she just normally hangs around in the palace in a pair of "juicy" sweatpants, Ugg boots and a cheap comfy top by George from Asda.
I also think she plays slither.

As world leader I also have to be generous.

p.s

Your card is marked for critiquing the new world order of SPG.

Yet hardly any of them give it all up do they.

Iggy Pop is 69 today.

Make of that what you will.

So you fancy a bit of this reigning lark yourself then? Just eliminating any opposition....

She is actually more of an Agar.io fan as it tends to hold people to their relative hierarchy more. In slither, even the most peasant snake can overthrow the most king of cobras.
