So one of the worlds best tourist attractions has died. Bummer. What is the point of the UK royal family again other than being a very expensive family on welfare? (UK tax payers paid them some 50M pounds for “support”.)

I’ll admit growing up I had some affinity for all the good in the world Pincess Diana was doing. And then she died. Which was sad. Her life ruined by the royal family and a failed marriage to guy who wasn’t faithful. And then many years later after visiting the UK and learning how much the public supported them financially etc and how little power they had and other than being the face of the money I asked myself: “what is the point of it all? To sell tabloids?”

Or if you come from one of the countries like me that was colonized under her watch you might have this reaction: https://twitter.com/laurajedeed/status/1567940027279196170?s...
