The point of this life, Marcus Aurelius says, is to possess good character and do acts for the common good.

This is as parents, teachers etc, what we should be the aspiring to. To live by example.

Not by using positions for personal gain, greed, to the detriment of others.

This is especially true for those who are born into privilege, (not elected) in positions of trust, with power to govern on salaries pay by the tax payers.

Once trust is broken there is no longer trust in their ability to rule, never mind occupying any positions of authority or to be respected .

Surely it is time to scrap the Soap Opera called the Royal Family. Terminate it and replace it with, a republic, with a written constitution.

Why?

Because the Epstein files have exposed a culture of a self indulging upper class that after years of capitalism has little concept of the problems the world is facing. Never mind the serfs that the royals are supposed to be representing.

After paying millions in an effort to sweep under the carpet one of their privileged offspring sexually misdoings they are no longer believable, morally bankrupt.

Pretending that they have nothing to do with the Epstein trafficking of under age women is farcical.

The whole concept of Royalty and its privileges is totally out of date with a modern society.

People are beginning to understand that the whole Royal set up and the political system is corrupted by an elite group of rich with exchanges of e mails that are obviously connected toEpstein trafficking ring.,

England needs a new identity other than not God save a non elected King.

The King technically owns all the land in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

When you buy land in the UK, you are really just buying a right to the land, a right that can be revoked at any time by the Crown (though in modern times this legal arrangement is largely irrelevant).

The Royal Family retains a significant ‘interest’ in the Crown Estate.

Oddly, though called the Crown Estate, this body represents the most independent of the land holdings linked to the King.

This entity is a £14.1 billion UK real estate businesswith a portfolio “unlike any other.

Its portfolio includes prime London real estate (it owns the building in which the Apple Store is located), lots of rural land, about half the UK’s coastline and all the surrounding seabed.

This entity used to be privately owned by the monarchy in the same sense as Sandringham or Balmoral.

Sandringham, for example, is a 20,000-acre estate. Balmoral is bigger still, covering roughly 50,000 acres.,

England is desperate to build new affordable housing.

The British tax payer are beginning to see a bunch of people called Royals (by birth ) with their noses in the tax throf paying hush money.

After 2019 it appears the queen and Charles continued to give Andrew an annual allowance from the Windsors’ private wealth, believed to be £1m a year.

The monarch remains constitutionally empowered to exercise the royal prerogative against the advice of the prime minister or the cabinet.

For centuries, the government has provided financial support to the Monarch.

Since 2012/13, this has been known as the Sovereign Grant, as provided for under the Sovereign Grant Act 2011.

Parliament can abolish the monarchy overnight, if it wishes to.

Of course that’s not going to happen, for all sorts of reasons. But there is no constitution barrier to abolishing the monarchy.

Part of the rich life is being able to travel, being able to reduce hassle, to work on what you want to work on.

Another important thing is using your time and money to help other people.

That’s true wealth.

Indeed, you can be quite wealthy, but you will never be rich.

It has very little to do with how much you save for yourself, and everything to do with how much you spend for others..
