Even the Queen's feeling the financial pinch

Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly short on cash to redecorate the Palace's State Rooms, which haven't been spruced up since the Queen took the throne in 1952. Plus, there isn't even enough money (about $65 million) to carry out less glamorous projects, like asbestos removal, rewiring and roof repair.

She doesnt even have the $65 million to fix the roof, so she can only afford to have half of her ass wiped.

Maybe Harry and William stole some of her stuff for coke?

Why doesn't she spend some of her own money?

I thought they had to redo half the palace when there as a fire in 2002? But you know how it is, if you paint a wall the rug looks shaggy and needs to be redone too! LOL

does she have her "own money?" I thought the royals acquired their loot from centuries of pillaging?

Lets have a telethon for the Queenie. If we don't do something for the old crag she'll wind up on the street. What a poor old multibillionaire. So sad.

Well, being part of the Commonwealth I have to say this.

Too bad so sad Queenie! Screw the poor, raise the taxes!!

I know as a Canadian I'm glad we're spending millions for each of your visits.(eyeroll)

She should sell a necklace, that'll pay for it all.

remember that good or poor old england once was a mighty empire that leeches over other country resources...please show no sympathy for her or the country. I can't stand royal people...all around the world.We all eat and shit the same.

she needs to get a real job like the rest of us.

[DULL-ooth MN]

Should just throw her outl with the rest of the royalty in England that screwed that country since day one.

I'm just dingdanged glad I like the USofA. The only royalty we have to worry about are the members of congress. And we can vote them in or out.

Can't vote English royalty. They are dumb enough to keep them, which is bleeding the country dry.
