Third, not a single one of them ever does an honest day's work.

I am not a roylist, but it does look as if No. 2 in line for the top job is, some of the time, doing what would be regarded as an honest days work if done by someone else. Not bad for someone who does not need the dosh.

I suspect the royals know that it will only take one unpopular monarch for a majority of their subjects to want to vote them out. The celebrity card may not be enough.
