erm no, the money goes to the treasury not the sovereign. It already does go to the public purse. Kindly get your facts right. Even a basic wiki search would show you that

The Treasury currently returns 25% of the Crown Estate income to the Royals after Chancellor George Osborne decided to change the civil list system. There is still the requirement at the beginning of each reign for the monarch to formally sign over this income to the government. As a Prince, Charles, argued for decades for the financial link between the Crown Estate's income and the Royal Family to be re-established. It is his personal view that all such income should go to the Royals.

Sources for Charles views?

The 25% rate was set by the publicly elected MPs in 2012 to move from having to constantly review the civil list. Again, MPs making the financial decisions. I really don't get what you're protesting about. I'd be surprised if an elected head of state and the associated apparatus would cost any less.
 
Glad its over, now the UK groveller cheap pleb thrills are over, perhaps we can start rebuilding our Countrys reputation up again and put these sorry sordid days black in the dust where they belong.

I understand fiscal and economic factors fairly well. In your language - what the nation can afford.

In your language... :cry:
Others are perfectly capable of understanding fiscal and monetary policies, you just made yourself look a little silly there.

In your language, the nation can afford it but chooses to line the pockets of the few.

If anything Charles should go back to the old times and start running the country again. I have more faith in him than any of the two parties.

Good, then you'll understand that the ratchet effect of wage rises for public sector workers compounded over time dwarves the cost of the first coronation for 70 years.

Not with the current lot (all sides) in parliament still. We need to get some people into power who actually are vaguely competent, wise, have integrity, and genuinely care about serving the collective population not just a small subset of it. How on earth that can ever be achieved idk as it seems to me anyone who fits that bill either gets shoved out or doesn't even try to become an MP to begin with.
