Get rid of the royals. Fuck them. They are a burden on society and the system.

Btw, has anybody verified those numbers though? It's a twitter post after all and they could be claiming anything without proof.

The TL:DR; is that yes he could pay for it but it is also exceedingly complicated. Fuck the monarchy.

Speaking as a Canadian who's also living under the crown, it's complicated, exceedingly expensive and not really worth the work. In the context of Canada, it would require renegotiating an exceptional amount of treaties and the like, opening the door for provinces to start requesting changes to benefit themselves. Things get even more complicated with Québec involved.

I can only imagine the UK having magnitudes more history than us, it would be even more expensive and even more complicated.

With that said, maybe we can just write a law that ditches the current royalty and replaces them with something like an inanimate carbon rod?

Don't they technically own like, most of the land in the UK? I'm sure that could be changed but it's not going to be easy right?

It's hard to argue that a group of kneeling, headless corpses own anything.
