00:00Not the monarchy like it used to be when we had the Queen and Queen Victoria.

00:07It was another time and it would have been a better time.

00:12But no, it's costing too much money, the monarchy, and it needs to be shortened dramatically.

00:20Too much money goes to the royal family.

00:21I think that the money, there's a lot of better causes to people a lot more in need,

00:26especially around Christmas, that that money could be going to.

00:28I'm a huge fan of the royal family and the monarchy.

00:30I'm very proud of our ancestry, very proud to be from the UK,

00:35and love taking a trip down to London and going and visiting the House of Parliament

00:40and the Queen's Estates, all of them throughout the UK.

00:43So I would say bring on more support, continue the support for the royal family.

00:50And yeah, I'm very proud of packing and the fact that we have a royal family,

00:55given that so many countries in the world either don't have one at all or don't have one anymore.
