@Alaw90235289 @lynnmcg92177422 @RoyalCentral The military charity will have a list of Patrons and supporters that donate money.
If any extra is needed, then it's the charity that will launch an appeal. Media presence brings in new donors, so if you stick a Royal in front of a mascot then they'll make the papers.

@Alaw90235289 @lynnmcg92177422 @RoyalCentral She will not have a great deal of private money to give away.
Most of it is an allowance they take from the profits of the Duchy of Cornwall and an allowance given to them by the King. They are not allowed to donate that money.
The Royal Family don't do appeals like celebs.

@defab14_defab @JaneyGodley @SusanTo16858068 Then you had the Scottish mass murderers who killed anyone who wasn't the same religion & encouraged you to report single women for being witches.

@JaneyGodley James looks like he regretted not putting that coat on his Mum probably told him to🤣
I think it's a chance for people to see them up close & possibly have them even talk to you without barriers.
It's a fandom. It's like young kids camping overnight to see their favourite popstar

@boomgames1974 @frankbutcher76 @richardosman I'm not disagreeing it was a xmas no.1, I remember it being xmas no.1
What I'm saying is that it wasn't ever intended to be a xmas song and shouldn't count. No mention of santa, holidays or anything.

@boomgames1974 @frankbutcher76 @richardosman Think you're the goon here. Tony Mortimer wrote it after his brother died & it was put on their 1994 album Steam.
It became popular, so the Studio jazzed it up with bells and released it with a different video in time for Christmas.

@rosslynmiller @Sandford_Police Only if you're within 150 metres of an abortion clinic.
It's to stop people from harrassing women having abortions for whatever reason.
Feel free to silently pray elsewhere & all will be fine.

@ThatEricAlper That they have dyspraxia & dyscalculia. Explain it to them. Although they're under so much pressure from family, there are other ways to work in museums so don't give up hope. Be kind to Mum, she's going through a tough time. Get a professional diagnosis, it will help everyone

@e95a8f5c0924485 @kierantompsett I don't think he had a choice as the other 3 suspected Kieran. If Wilf had gone along with the orginal plan then they would've sussed him. It's easy from our POV, but it's everyone for themselves & Wilf came close to winning as he had their trust, they didn't suspect him.

@thisnolaguy @Helsybob0424 @RoyalCentral For example, Windsor & Buckingham Palace are open to visit, as is Kensington. St James's by private tour only.
The Historic ones are open year round. Private residences, such as Balmoral and Clarence House are off limits. Details are below

@thisnolaguy @Helsybob0424 @RoyalCentral Property & works of art that belong to the Crown, not the monarch, is exempt from inheritance tax because it can't be sold.
Most of the artwork is loaned out across the world to exhibitions, and most official residences are open at some point to the public which helps with upkeep

@thisnolaguy @Helsybob0424 @RoyalCentral It's also a sign of respect, they are acknowledging the regiments' service to the RF.
We no longer have National Service here. Not being British, I wouldn't expect you to understand that it's the same as when a president is head of your armed forces

@thisnolaguy @Helsybob0424 @RoyalCentral The benevolent fund is a registered charity that receives no govt funding & helps soldiers & their dependents past & present.
This could be the cost of therapy if they're ex soldiers suffering from PTSD, or raising funds for a wheelchair. The POW's high profile brings in donors

[CurrentlyReading @Emmaisreading21]

@Helsybob0424 @thisnolaguy @RoyalCentral It's an honorary title that allows her to raise awareness & money for The Irish Guards Benevolent fund.
Her title along with being POW means more money for the charity & recognises the soldier's efforts in protecting their country. By slamming this you're disrespecting the forces

[CurrentlyReading @Emmaisreading21]

@GerardCross8 @thisnolaguy @RoyalCentral What about the charities they represent? Such as the Irish Guards Benevolent fund?
That's why she gets the honorary title, to raise awareness & money of the charity that helps past & present members of it's regiment.
The last King to fight in a war was George II btw.

@jackson_catyjac @thisnolaguy @RoyalCentral Patron of the Irish Guards' benevolent fund actually. Her role is to raise awareness of them & their charity that helps past & present members of the regiment. Her status means more money to help those that need it.
It's an honorary title given to acknowledge this.
