@@colko64 Am I wrong in telling that Prince Philip was by maternal side : Mountbatten , previously Battemberg, a German family , branch of family of Hesse and the Rhine , due to the morganatic marriage between Alexander of Hesse and the Rhine (third son of Louis II Granduke of Hesse/Rhine ) and Julia Hauke. They had three sons: Louis Prince of Battemberg who married Victoria of Hesse daughter of Granduke Louis IV of Hesse and Alice Princess of Great Britain daughter of Queen Victoria. They were cousins and parents of Alix , mother of Prince Philip, Louisa, second wife of King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden, and Lord Louis Mountbatten (so called Uncle Dickie) and another one son. Victoria of Hesse was also, among other, sister of Alexandra Feodorovna , latest Empress of Russia wife of Nicolas II , and Elizabeth who married Granduke Sergei of Russia and was killed during the Russian revolution with other 18 relatives by throwing alive in a cool mine; Alexander who was named Prince of Bulgaria , temporarily , during Balkans war; Henry , Prince of Battemberg , who married Beatrix , last daughter of Queen Victoria and they were parents of Victoria Eugenia Queen of Spain , wife of Alfonso XIII, and great grandmother of the King Felipe VI of Spain. By paternal side he was son of Prince Andrew of Greece, son of King George I of the Ellenes , whom was offered the reign of Greece in 1845, at the age of 18, son of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse Kassel. George I was also brother to Alexandra Queen consort of England , wife of King Edward VII son of Queen Victoria , and to Dagmar, better known as Empress Maria Feodorovna wife of Alexander III of Russia and mother of Nicolas II last Emperor of Russia. So Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II were cousins by maternal side through princess Alix of Great Britain (and obvoously Queen Victoria) and by paternal side through Christian IX of Denmark. By these connections they are related to the other Kings and Queen in Europe. Sorry for my poor english .

Non of this fitted the Victorian ideal of family life. As a visibly physically impaired person I am alert to such attitudes wherever I find them. Impaired people (now often called the Disabled") are something of an embarrassment to a healthy in mind body and soul image of an acceptable Royal personage.

It sounds like the Queen Consort wasn’t as sad about her husband passing as she was passing on the spotlight to her daughter. She seemed to always try to upstage her daughter in the videos and photos of that time and was dressed like a pageant contestant even in her old age. If I had been Philip, I would’ve been down right furious over her appalling treatment and would’ve said to QE2, their can’t be 3 of us in this marriage and you can only have one of us sit next to the throne, choose. I’d understand if she was saddened by her husband’s passing and even feel sympathy for her but she seems to only care that her daughter(s) have taken center stage and she’s not ok with passing any attention to her (them). She wasn’t even the queen, just a consort, who didn’t add much to the monarchy. Sure she gave birth to QE2, but nannys raised her and besides an enormous bill for her clothes, gin and gambling, she gave more problems than anything else. Poor Philip had to give up everything (including being a prince in his own right), to play a supporting role to his wife and had to fight just to get his children to bare his last name. In those days, it was unheard of to have a woman, openly running the family and the family business. He basically had his balls cut off and if that wasn’t enough, he had to fight his mother in law from hell on everything, even the battles that were common sense (Making a servant carry notes to the other family members on a silver platter instead of a walkie talkie??? Come the hell on!) I’m surprised he didn’t strangle the old bat! Her over inflated sense of grandeur is was almost as bad as the present day MeGain.... everyone says she’s was so sweet?!? Pah-lease! She was sweet if she got her gin-induced way and her insanely expensive tastes satisfied by the taxpayers. She even said herself “I’m not as nice as people think I am;” obviously she wasn’t even close! What she did to Diana, treating her like dog poo on her $1,000 shoes and covering for Charles and his skank by giving them refuge to bang as often as they wanted but continued to talk shit about Edward VIII and Wallis? At least he was single and didn’t have children unlike Charles and Diana.

So Clarence house was redecorated by him then the queen mother moved in and she redecorated it of course. So they waste a whole lot of bloody money don't they. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. The wanton waste. How many could be housed and fed on the money they go thru at public expense.

[@brontewcat]

Fortunately for the public they don’t really pay anything for the Royals except security. Virtually all the “public” expense of the royals is less than the income generated by the Crown Estates. Since George III the monarch agrees this money go to consolidated revenue. In return the Queen gets a proportion as income as expenses. Until recently the Crown Estates have always generated way more income than the entire cost of the Royals. So these costs would be meet in full by the extra income the Govt gets from the Crown estates. These days the cost of security means the cost of the royals is now greater than the income.However as often the cost of security at Royal events is as much about protecting the public as the Royals, I’d suggest the extra costs is money well spent.

[@hellooutthere8956]

@@brontewcat then why did the public pick up the tab for the deceleration of Harry and Meghans house. Plus all the royal weddings? Far as I know the public pays for every fart they let. tht is wht the press here is always saying.

[@brontewcat]

sharon anderson Consolidated revenue picks up these expenses. But the money going into consolidated revenue for these expenses from the Crown Estates is more than the expenses incurred by the Royals ( except for security). Don’t take your information from the media - its often too simplistic to be accurate.Remember the media are about making money, and stories that the Royals are revenue neutral don’t sell.

[@brontewcat]

sharon anderson In 2018 the Crown Estate’s income was just under £300 million pounds. Under a 2011 arrangement 25% is paid to the monarch for the royal duties and the payment of maintaining the palaces etc. Then 75% is paid directly to the govt. The point is that even extraordinary expenditure, over and above 25%, for the Royals is covered by the income generated by the Crown Estate. Even so, when security is excluded, the total costs are less by a huge margin than the income from the Crown Estate. As I said a lot of the security costs, eg Harry and Meghan’s wedding, are just as much about protecting us and not just the Royals. When you take into account the revenue generated by Royal tourism they actually are worth every cent/pence.

This was an interesting doc about Prince Phillip's, (and others), struggles to modernize the British Monarchy. My maternal English and paternal Scottish family came from backgrounds of great poverty and emigrated to Canada at the turn of the last century. When gawking at Queen Elizabeth's extravagant coronation please don't forget that the British public had been 'thru two World Wars and a Great Depression. While the Royals were swanning around in their castles/palaces, London was still bombed out, I knew people who contracted TB from contaminated milk, there was still rationing going on and people in Britain and Europe were totally exhausted. I am so glad that as a member of the Commonwealth, my tax money doesn't go towards this British 'dog and pony' snow, other than when there's a Royal visit! After all this time, the Aussies are still bitter about the way the English mis-treated them and turned their country into a virtual prison! Cruel Brittania indeed!

[@mjspice100]

New South Wales was a colony to which prisoners were transported in the late 18th Century. Australia as a nation didn’t exist until 1901, prior to that it was a collection of independent colonies. Transportation had long ended at that point. The Royal family in WW2 at least remained in London for the duration and Buckingham Palace did get bombed. Queen Elizabeth served in the ATS towards the end of the war and trained as a motor mechanic. Military service features highly with them, most (not all) after WW2 have done some measure of service. The queen pays taxes as do other members of the family, it’s true that they receive taxpayers money from the civil list to cover their royal duties expenses, they do have income from other sources such as investments etc. as do a lot of people. They have their flaws like anyone else for sure, they are human beings like the rest of us. What the hell is a “dog and pony” show?

Every story has 2 sides. I come from a Sikh family of the Punjab which was ruled by the Sikh kings before the British took over one by one except the Maharaja Ranjit Singh ‘s territory . He is the only non Afghan to rule Afghanistan in the modern times. . After his death, the British took over that area of the Punjab. Pre partition Punjab included current Indian capitals of India, New Delhi and of Pakistan, Islamabad. In 1947, the British divided Punjab, Kashmir and bengal among Hindus and Muslims. Sikhs were rightful heirs of the greater Punjab, the best agriculture land in the whole world. Even California pipes water from Colorado. The British stoles kohinoor , biggest diamond and huge amount of gold, silver, tax money from India (basically) Punjab as it was the richest and #1 state . Also, Sikhs fought with the British in both world wars in Europe , Second World War in south east Asia. Even as pilots. See bbc documentary. But how much were the British loyal to them?. But personally I hold no grudges against them now, as our people were never united. They didn,t follow the words of the saints. The British gave us mass education, infrastructure like trains,roads, hospitals, laws, parliamentary system, massive irrigation system in the greater Punjab which is now helping to feed over a billion people.
