Why does everyone care that the ‘royals' are here?

There is nothing royal about costing British taxpayers millions of dollars each year to swan around the world.

Did I mention Kensington Palace is the most broke it's ever been? Seems like the Queen hasn't been watching all the pennies she receives from her taxpayers.

People say ‘but, oh the royals do so much good in the world, campaigning and fundraising for all those charities and helping poor kids in Africa'.

While they do fundraise for charities they also cost a mighty fortune to upkeep.
I hear the New Zealand Government is spending $1million while they're staying here?
What if all the money spent on keeping the royals comfortable and tucked up in their palaces and holiday estates was spent on charities and fundraising for those in need?
Then the world would be better, fairer place – where no one would be more ‘royal' than the next.

Oh well, I guess at least Kate liked the Maori lad's bottom.
