@shelajet fool, do you know how much money we make from our royal family, why do you think London is a tourist hotspot. Personally I think the Royal family are great, they represent so much history of our country. Example? well the royal flipping wedding earlier this year, over 3 billion people worldwide watched it.

@shelajet I'm British everyone I know that is British supports the royal family. It is part of our national identity it sets us apart from most of the world.

@shelajet Very cynical. Prince Harry doesn't HAVE to do these things and he didn't have to go to Afghanistan. He would have stayed there for the full term, but for some stupid American journalist spilling the beans. I'm sure you can find some freeloading wasters to have a more meaningful go at, from the comfort of your cosy corner.

There are quite a few teams out there...and all are rowing their hearts out under very challenging circumstances, and they are all raising money for various charities....A phone call to them all would be great.

Will Dixon (the man on the phone) is my 1st cousin. Looks like he's having the time of his life but shame he's missing Christmas. I'm proud and so is his uncle (my dad). He keeps checking the row2recovery website at least 3 times a day to see how they're getting on. Winnings not the important thing, it's the taking part that counts. His cousin, Genevieve Dixon :)

Oh gosh, Prince Harry does not have a very posh voice. Why, perhaps even myself speaks better than him. Haha.

@0o0dead0o0 : you are fool and selfish too . only traders are able to earn a lot of money from selling the products of British royal family . in same time the queen gets $83.8 million annually from the money of tax payers although her private account is above $500 million . the wedding of prince William cost $70 million from the money of the ordinary and poor people . wake up dude .

@IntenseSoldier Prince William is a true gent don't judge before you meet people! Skip out Charles and Camilla and the direct royal family from the queen down to wills and harry are great people.
