[QUOTE="Arcangl86, post: 77670149, member: 344714"] The Civil List no longer exists. Public duties are now paid by the Sovereign Grant, and in exchange the country keeps the revenues of the Crown Estate. The Sovereign Grant last year was 86M pounds. The revenues of the Crown Estate were 442M. A good chunk of the revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall are used to pay for official expenses for the Duke. And I don't know about William, but Charles voluntarily paid taxes on the portion of the Duchy revenues that he didn't use for official expenses. Granted I'm an outsider so my view really doesn't matter. But I think while there are valid reasons to want to abolish the monarchy, claiming the royals are a drain on the public purse isn't a good one. [/QUOTE]
