All for familial profit. And remember, he inherited these lands with his title, the Duchy of Cornwall.

If the Royals really wanted to help charity they could easily give up some of this property and pass on part of their immense wealth. Remember, that their money has been purloined from the people over centuries, with land seizures and the like largely at the whim of inbred psychopathic monarchs.

The Queen is the head of our Constitution and independent of government:

OK. So we change our constitution. It is plain wrong for a Head of State to be selected purely by genetic accident. The EU is chipping away at our independence and constitutional rights already, so it would seem like a good time to review the whole thing. And the remaining members of the Commonwealth are considering ditching royalty too.

They are a figurehead for the British/English to rally round:

I would feel very sad for my brethren if this were the case. Do we really need relics from an antiquated feudal system to pull us together? Prince Charles is flaky: he talks to flowers and cannot even put toothpaste on his own toothbrush. He needs a manservant for that. And the Queen's Christmas Day Speech, which families used to gather round their TV's to view, last year had just one in ten of the UK population interested enough to bother tuning in. This pompous speech is largely treated as a joke. Which frankly, it is. Along with the whole concept of royalty in this day and age.
