You Know The Recession Is A Real Thing When Even The Queen Gets A Pay Freeze

Prince Hot Ginge can no longer tiptoe into his grammy's bed chambers in the middle of the night to sneak a few quid (I'm speakin' British!) out of the pocketbook she clutches onto when she sleeps, because there's not going to be anything in there anymore! The sport of extreme couponing is calling The Queen's name, because her pay for being THE QUEEN!!! has been frozen until 2015 and she'll only be given $50 million of taxpayers' money to pay for travel expenses and palace upkeep. NPR says that Prince Charles will have to reach into his own pocket to pay for Princess (serious typo and it's not moving) William and Duchess Catherine's household staff. GOD (in the form of a sale at Tesco) SAVE THE QUEEN!

NPR reports that shit is getting so dire that the Queen is considering renting out rooms at St. James Palace during the Olympics next year. HA. St. James Palace is turning into a flophouse. Can't you just imagine coming down the stairs late at night to drink tap water from the kitchen faucet and you see your landlady, Queen Elizabeth, sipping canned wine from Bargain Booze while knitting mittens out of her Corgis' hair to sell on Etsy. Book me a room, now.

And before you go on and on about how Queen Elizabeth is nothing but a welfare leach, stop yourself. If England wants Queen Elizabeth to show up to stupid weddings and national events, they have to pay to play. Queen Elizabeth does not change out of her housecoat for her health. I mean, my abuelita refused to come out of her bedroom for my birthday party unless I promised her the corner piece of my sheet cake. #getmoneyqueen!

Or England can just fire Queen Elizabeth completely and replace her as the "Face of England" with Jodie Marsh, because that trick will work for bootleg HGH injections and a box of gently used condoms.

Queenie owns almost everything in the world that the rich King dudes don't own. She should be paying to keep her position of privilege and entitlement. Personally, I am done with royalty. "I am an anarchist ... "

And seriously?

if the UK did not have London, Wimbledon, and the pound, no one would go there anyway!

Yeah, I said it!"

I agree most of England is pretty grim but you still have spectacular scenery in the North of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Personally I've never seen the attraction with London.

Balls! Thats another English expression for you,

She isn't hard up, she has private collections of art (da vincis etc) that she could sell if she wanted to and a private share portfolio that is huge and allowed by law to remain secret. That is apart from all the stuff she owns as 'figurehead' and would need permission to sell including 1/6th of the land on Earth.

Most Brits still suck up to these leeches but I say, 'Off with their heads'...especially Prince Andrew who likes to hang around with pedos like Jeffrey Epstien.

I still want to go to England. I will take along some cash and sneak it to QEII when no one is looking. I can't hand it to Prince Philip because he will spend it on strippers or Werther's or something.

Somehing to think about is that the British people must want to keep their symbolic figurehead, or she would have been politely shown to the kerb by now.

Doesn't she have her own money? Let her pay her own way. If she really wants to be queen, she'll use her own money. If not, she can retire and live the rest of her life quietly. Royalty in this day and age seems....stupid but then so does the blind worship of celebrities and politicians (I know peeps who think Putin can do no wrong and this scares me).

That's right! Put that old trick to work! She's gonna live another 30 years anyway, so they might as well squeeze a quid outta her!

And seriously?

THIS is what OWS is doing wrong. They need Queen Elizabeth as their spokesperson. Do you have any idea how this is going to affect her yearly hat budget?

No seriously though, I love the Queen. As an American, I find her to be really awesome, for some reason I can't explain. Maybe it's the whole hat thing.

Sandbitch, here's the content's of Lilibet's purse.

“What’s In The Queen's Handbag: And Other Royal Secrets” reveals that though the 81-year-old monarch doesn’t carry cash, keys or a passport - since she doesn’t own one - her bag is far from empty. Inside are a collection of good luck charms given to her by her children, including miniature dogs, horses and saddles, plus family snaps. The most treasured of which is a photo of Prince Andrew on his safe return from the Falklands in 1982.

Also inside the tote is a make-up case, given to her by Prince Philip as a wedding gift 60 years ago. It also houses an s-shaped metal meat hook which she places on the edge of the dinner table, from which to suspends her handbag, keeping it off the floor.

What one really needs to know is, what does one have in one's handbag?

If England didn't have the Queen, people wouldn't know how to set the table properly.

I am glad I don't live in the UK, because this shit would seriously piss me off. Illogical to the max.

With all respect Classy, That's kinda the thing...

Her obligation was to give her entire life and any sort of personal freedom she's ever had to a monarchy its protocols and all that it expects of you. There is rarely a day that goes by where she doesn't have some sort of function she's expected to preside over. From the time she was a young girl her life has been planned out for her. She couldn't even marry the person she loved if they didn't fit the monarchy wants. She can't kick back at all, just the opposite.

LMAO @ Sweetas & Jacko dental benefits *dies* clutch them pearls, Queenie!!

How is it that her Queeenhood owns billions in land and property, but she lives off tax payer's money?
________________________________________

From what I've read the Queen doesn't actually own that much land- it's in her name but the control of it belongs to the Parliament, and there's no way in hell that those greedy fuckers will allow her to sell them or do anything.

Also she's been recycling outfits for years now, and having new ones sewn out of some old fabrics.

And the Royals only get something like 10p from every taxpayers pound that the government collects. Myself, as little as I care about them, do not mind that. I would rather them get that money than some benefits cheat or someone who hasn't worked the days work in their life.

I didn't know there was DNA in my ass!

Thats what I thought as well TequilaTax-
That they were going to live as "normally" as possible.

I could have sworn that William said that after he got married, him and Kate would live like normal folk. (Do their own laundry, cook their own food, etc) Now they have a staff? I can understand having body guards but what the hell other kinds of staff could they possibly have? It's only the two of them.
