(https://twitter.com/steven_swinford) The Queen’s household finances were at a “historic low” with just £1 million left in reserve, MPs said on Monday. Her courtiers were advised to take money-saving tips from the Treasury.

A report (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmpubacc/665/66502.htm) by the Commons public accounts committee found that the Queen’s advisers were failing to control her finances while the royal palaces were “crumbling”.

MPs said her advisers had overspent to such an extent that her reserve fund had fallen from £35 million in 2001 to just £1 million today.

The Royal household had made efficiency savings of just 5 per cent over the past five years compared with government departments, that are cutting their budgets by up to a third.

MPs on the committee said the Treasury must “get a grip” and help to protect the royal palaces from “further damage and deterioration”.

The original picture showed her as a poor old feeble lady, I felt this was more appropriate for who she really is.

The World's 15 Biggest Landowners

#1 Queen Elizabeth II http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/4b7d47a90000000000a84a8d-1200/1-queen-elizabeth-ii.jpg
Land: 6.6 billion acres of land worldwide including Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and a few other spots here and there. Also, the all-important Falkland Islands.
Background: England's third (and most likely soon to be second) longest serving monarch, Elizabeth II retains royal title over The British Commonwealth and as such manages to keep her face on money throughout the globe. With her 6.6 billion acres, Elizabeth II is far and away the world's largest landowner, with the closest runner-up (King Abdullah) holding control over a mere 547 million, or about 12% of the lands owned by Her Majesty, The Queen.

She wants England invaded because she is not English, some kind of Sax-German or something.

I dont know why people fawn over royals.

I remeber one time I challenged a person to following.

Have you ever heard the term he or she is the legitimate heir to the throne?

Yes.

Do you know how you become legitimate?

No.

All suitors have to adbicate or you have to kill all your rivals?

Guess which is more popular ?

So why would you fawn over someone who is a murder and theif?

Just a blank stare.
