And the cost of the Royal Family per person for a year is 62p. I would say the Royal Family was better value for money.

Royal family 'cost 62p per person'
The Queen and the Royal Family cost the taxpayer 62p per person per year, Buckingham Palace accounts revealed today.

The total cost of keeping the monarchy in the last financial year rose by 4.2 per cent to £37.4 million, royal accountants said.

As for the BBC they are a bloated over payed organization which should be bought to book.

Fair enough; if you don't mind paying a family of German imigrants to live a life of luxury.

Of course you have to pay for the royal family as the civil list is drawn from general taxation, but If you object to the licence fee there is no law says you have to own a tv set.
