LISTEN to that speech above, Steve...then think again.... Think of the tens of thousands of young people The Princes Trust has helped through the decades, many of whom now run their own businesses, ONLY because of Prince Charles and his determination to help. Think of Princess Diana and how she made AIDS patients 'huggable' rather than lepers... There is good and bad everywhere.. Princess Anne does a great deal too, but because she's not 'acceptably beautiful' she's left out and not reported on. They could sit back on their backsides and do nothing, many of them do, and those that do should be removed from everyting 'royal'...but there are some within that family, the Queen included, who have given their lives to their country, doing jobs they may not otherwise have ever done... The Queen, even in her 80s is still out there working, working, working...I did not approve of her not paying tax, or her behaviour over Windsor Castle or Diana and some other things, but in general she has spent her entire life, since her early 20s serving this country..and maybe, just maybe, she needs and deserves some recognition for that fact...
