The Man from Southie User ID: 78016685 United States 10/08/2019 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Put your big girl panties on before you croak, Queen Elizabeth, and do it like Carl: King Carl of Sweden strips five grandchildren of royal status The King of Sweden has stripped five of his grandkids of their royal status — meaning they’ll no longer get a cent of the taxpayers’ money. The King of Sweden has stripped five of his grandchildren of their royal status amid mounting pressure to cut back the monarchy’s annual bills. The children, aged between one and five, are the offspring of two of King Carl XVI Gustaf’s younger children — Prince Carl and his wife Sofia, and US-based Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O’Neill. While the five children will remain members of the royal family, they’ll lose the titles of His and Her Royal Highness and, significantly, will not have access to taxpayer funds. Princess Madeleine explained that the change “has been planned for a long time” and it would give her three children a “greater opportunity to shape their own lives”. Meanwhile, Carl and Sofia were also happy with the decision, writing in a joint statement: “We see this as positive as Alexander and Gabriel will have freer choices in life.” The cost of the monarchy on taxpayers has been under scrutiny in recent years, with the bill currently topping $21 million annually. According to the Swedish royal court’s top official, Fredrik Wersall, the royal family understood and had accepted the need for change. “We have a large royal family. If you include the next generation, there are currently 10 people in the line of succession,” he told Swedish media. It’s a similar format in the British royal family, where the decision to bestow titles upon close relatives of the Queen’s has often come down to the parents’ choice. Zara and Peter Phillips missed out on royal titles after their parents, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, turned down the Queen’s offer to bestow them. [link to www.news.com.au (secure)] |

Keep the castles and houses as tourist traps and rent them out for money for infrastructure, education and dentists... Yah, they've done a lot for the people. Just ask the Irish, Scot and Welsh workers. Good old-fashioned beheading is in order here. |
