Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work_Part 2 of 7

In the final installment, all four of the Queen's children talk frankly for the first time about their working roles as part of the Royal Family. The younger generation are also seen to be getting involved. There's an early-morning surprise for the residents of an inner-city hostel when they come down to breakfast and find Prince William making the coffee. Prince Harry attends a strategy meeting for his African charity, Sentebale. And we see what happens when all the family turn up for a very proud moment at Sandhurst.

I'm American and I am just curious to know that, even if the monarchy is abolished and a republic is created, do you guys think that you suddenly won't have to pay president? The president needs extensive security and travels frequently, probably more than the Queen does. Do you think he will be paying those things out of his own pocket? It might be cheaper, but you'll still be paying something. Doesn't some taxpayer money go to the Prime Minister for his travels?

The royal family works very very hard... I think it's great the UK has a neutral political figure... in America you have two parties always fighting it would be nice to have a Queen here in America ( a symbol of goverment ) to turn to when you are disgusted with both parties... the monarchy units all!

@vikingsbeard I wouldn't say foreign aid is a waste of our budget, but the ridiculous amount they spend on nuclear arms etc. is such a waste. But you're right, the monarchy is only a very little part of it.

They're like a fantastic little time capsule for the UK. I'm 19 but I don't think we should get rid of them- it's like a part of our national pride and heritage.

That Republican was stupid too. American LEFT Britain because of how the monarchy treated us. And many lives were lost. Like we would ever take them back. I just wish his friend who he had asked that question to would have reminded him of American history.

That young kid obviously doesn't see what the British monarchy brings to that country. As an American, when I first visited England, I visited the royal palaces and all the other places related to the monarchy. They bring in money. Tourist money. If you get rid of the monarchy, then you take that money away. That kid needs to wake up and smell the money.

I think it's funny people complaining about the monarchy, yet the majority of the UK population voted in a pair of ponces who have messed up this country!! So to be honest the Monarchy does not effect you, the government effects u. And i'm guessing the majority of people who complain about the monarchy probably voted in bill & ben and therefore need to look closer to home. We have always had a monarchy and I pray we always will!! God Save The Queen!!

[vikingsbeard]

who cares what the monarchy spends, the government wastes more money in one day than the monarchy does in a year, the biggest one is europe, then its foreign aid, eg india they have there own space programme, why do they need foreign aid, afghanistan, as soon as britain and all the other countries forces leave afghan, it will all be for nothing, nothing will ever change in afghan waste of money, ive made my point so stop slagging the monarchy, the government wastes more money, be angry at them

Right, and a British, and as a taxpayer I think the royals are simply a load of shit. All they do is go around and see people and see how they're doing, not that hard!

Being an American I don't fully understand Royalty per se but when I think of England I think of Royalty. I don't think it should be abolished.
