3: "I paid in tax last year exactly what the tax rules said I should pay."

How public spirited of you - The Royal Family pays more - and those who are legally not obliged to pay tax pay it voluntarily.

Abiding by the law of the land and not trying to evade tax, as the royal estates endeavour to do, what with their armies of accountants, is not "public spirited": it's just what normal people do.

4. As far as Charity goes you give what you give - well done. The fact that you cannot put a figure to it indicates like most you just throw a few coins or possibly notes into collecting tins every now and then. Collectively the members of the Royal Family give their names, time and money to over 3,500 Charities.

Well there's a nice spot of prejudice for you. You haven't the faintest idea what I give or how I give it (though I will declare that I don't stuff money into rattled tins). You disagree with me so you automatically suppose that I don't give. Actually, giving to charity is hardly what this thread is supposed to be about. I'm not about to tell you or anyone else what I give, to who and how. I might well be an atheist but I'm very Jesus when it comes to this. And, as with the taxes the royals so valiantly pay, what they give to charities is only money that they have no moral right to.   

5. "they are not entitled to their opinions!"

The homeless under Waterloo Bridge are perfectly entitled to their opinions and are free to express themselves - The Royal Family on the other hand are not.

Except that homeless people have no platform for expressing their opinions, of course, unlike the royals, whose every pronouncement is lionised in the media. As I said before, the Queen, for all her stunted intellect (not to speak of stunted personality) at least has the good sense to shut up and stick to the script. This can hardly be said for her buffoon son, or her husband, much-lauded for his "acerbic wit," which, translated into honest language, comes out as boorish ignorance tinged with a healthy dose of irony-free xenophobia.
