They aren't in-bred dunces, they're a normal household with a great deal of responsibilities that happen to be in the public limelight from cradle to grave. Some might say then why don't they jack it in. The royal family offer one thing that no other single part of this country can, a focal point for tourism trade and a moral upbringing. They bring all guns to bear on any member of their house who steps out of line, and that's because they know the potential repurcussions of a public faux pas...and before you say it, I consider myself left wing...but with a fair grasp of what's good for this nation. So come a civil war I'll wear the lions thank you. Oh, and on the 'have your cake and eat it' bit. Yes, the royals get well looked after, but the tourist trade based on international interest on the royals far outweighs the cost of their upkeep. Instead of whinging about them, have a look and find out exactly how much they cost us to keep...it'll open your eyes.

I say let them eat cake and see who cares. No amounting of coaching could transform generations of in-bred idiocy which means that come what may some will seek to have their cake and eat it.
