I am no royalist- but the Royal family gets 40 million pounds a year for all of them.
The UK population is roughly 61 million people.
40 million pounds spread between 61 million people means it costs each individual around .65p per year.
Again, I am not a fan of the royal family- I see them as an unnecessary and irrelevant institution... (kinda like organised religion)- but some people seem to want them around, and this is a democracy (of sorts).
