In July, Republic estimated that the total cost of the monarchy is £202.4m a year, which breaks down to £12.7m on each of the 16 working royals, and now there is going to be another one to feed. Let those who have recently been made redundant as a result of cuts or had their benefits unfairly cut, rejoice in the fact there is another royal to support.

I have nothing against them personally and wish them health and happiness but I despise what they represent.
