I prefer to call her "Regis" instead.

Too bad I'm already renting a walk up from pantomime Princess Margaret,

I prefer "Regina".

Either one. My Latin is not so good.

Pass. She farts a lot and eats all the Fritos.

Ireland?

I imagine that green room is what Dittybopper's house looks like.

Shhh! She goes to Belfast and they tell her it's all of Ireland.

$50,000 a night? How many hotels did they put on there?

Jack Black 62: British Royalty are the richest welfare recipients of all time.

Ok, have them pull all of their assets out of Great Britain and put back into their private collections. No more tourism monies, either.

Jack Black 62: British Royalty are the richest welfare recipients of all time.

Not of all time. Louis XVI was bigger. And I'm sure there was bigger than that.

If they're getting $50k/day it had darn well better have a throne room.

The Queen can sit on a cricket bat and spin

Not luxurious enough for my tastes.

xanadian: I think a bunch of us Farkers should pitch in and share one of those rooms. Shouldn't cost more than, what, $50k? CHEAP!!

Hm, of course, there's still that pesky business of a royal warrant, but I'm sure there must be some Farkers who are official suppliers of the British royals.

/Speaking of which, apparently both Laphroaig and John Walker & Sons hold royal warrants. Does that mean if we consume enough single malt scotch we can qualify too?

Royalty dealing in rental property? Isn't that called property tax?

1%er problems

syfylys channel: Royalty dealing in rental property? Isn't that called property tax?

No. Actually, rental income is one of the main ways royal types make money. They hold large chunks of land and commoners rent to live or farm there. That's what having the Duchy of such and such gets you, for example.

But her luggage has the initials, "HRH", which means that her real name is obviously Henrietta R. Hippo!

She's renting rooms instead of inviting the Obama's to stay? Michelle is going to be so pissed.

/yeahiwenttherebiteme

How did she get to be queen? I didn't vote for her ....

Weird... That's what I call my third nipple.

Ha! Nice Airbnb flat in Highgate, vetted by friends for $81USD a night, suckas!

I'm pretty sure they aren't as big moochers as you seem to think. They make quite a bit of cash and I think a lot of it goes to the government.

Eh, Beth has rooms all over the place. Sometimes she likes to just get away for a while to chill, smoke a blunt, drink a forty, and watch Pimp My Corgi without being interrupted by her idiot asshole of a husband screaming about wogs hiding in the garden.

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering latex rubber held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Elizabeth, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your queen.

If I called myself Emperor just because some watery bint threw a sword at me they'd call me a looney!

I had to stay in a lake.

RexTalionis: I thought we should call her "Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Queen, Defender of the Faith."

Would calling her Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor-Mountbatten be too informal?

BE QUIET!!!

Help! Help! I'm bein' repressed!! You saw 'im repressin' me, didn't ya?

English farkers correct me if I am wrong but the Queen owns the most land and real-estate in the entire world. Even compared to whole nations.

I agree with you. Just giving the previous poster a bit of perspective.

Headso: English farkers correct me if I am wrong but the Queen owns the most land and real-estate in the entire world. Even compared to whole nations.

Individually she doesn't own a huge amount of property (Balmoral and Sandringham basically), the Royal Estates owns a lot of property but that is vested in the head of state as a position, not the Queen as an individual, and it is only owned in a limited sense - all profits from the Royal Estates is donated to the treasury (about £230m a year currently), which might be what you are referring to, but I would imagine this would be small compared to property owned by the US government or other large countries' governments, and although the Royal Estates is more or less independent for historical reasons, it is effectively just part of the government in effect. The Royal Estates historically were used to fund the royalty, but the profits were exchanged for the Civil List payments from the treasury.

There is also the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster which were split off from the Royal Estates, which are smaller and used to create income for the heir and monarch's "private" use, although nowadays mostly it goes on supporting their official functions or to various charities they support (or tax, as Charles has "paid" tax on the income from the Duchy of Cornwall even though he officially doesn't have to due to the special status of this portfolio).

I just call her Sweaty Betty.

Elizabeth II? Has Hollywood finally run out of ideas?
