The British royal family lost weight, leaving only four people. Abandoned second-rate prince and princess. In modern Britain, laws were promulgated, which weakened the royal rights and reduced the royal expenses. 2001May 14, according to the British "News of the World" report, Britain is considering a major reform plan to change the face of the royal family, which has complicated personnel, luxurious life and is widely criticized by the British public. Some members of the royal family may be deprived of aristocratic status and treatment, and the controversial Princess Sophie will bear the brunt and become the "victim" of the royal reform. According to this reform plan, members of the British royal family may be divided into two categories. One belongs to the core members of the royal family, representing the royal family, having all the privileges of the royal family and enjoying all the treatment of the royal family. The other kind of members must leave the royal family and move out of the place where they live. They will no longer have the right to enjoy the luxurious scenes and styles of the royal family, lose their allowances and police protection, and these people will need to "stand on their own feet" in the future. But as compensation, such members of the royal family can engage in business activities.

On April 4th, 20 10, British media reported that Queen Elizabeth planned to reduce the royal expenses to four members, namely Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry. Some "second line" members of the royal family will be excluded from the system.

According to British media, Princess You Jinni and Princess Beatrice are the most affected, which means that the burden on taxpayers will be greatly reduced, and Queen Elizabeth is also looking forward to consolidating the image of the royal family. The British media quoted the royal family as saying: "Your Highness hopes that the royal family will become stronger and stronger. To achieve this goal, we must win the hearts of the people. She decided to implement a "slimming" plan. This means that other young' redundant' royal members will face a crisis. " Prince Andrew's daughter, Sister You Jinni, bears the brunt and will lose the opportunity to become a member of the "professional royal family". Therefore, after graduating from college, they may have to find a job to support their expenses. Prince Edward's children, including 6-year-old Louise and 2-year-old James, are not required to perform royal duties. Without responsibility, of course, you can't enjoy the support of taxpayers. According to the eldest son's right of inheritance, that is, the throne should be inherited by the eldest son of the current monarch, followed by other sons and finally daughters. However, according to the law, the succession to the British throne is not automatic. According to the settlement act passed by 170 1, the throne shall be passed on to the descendants of Sophie, the elector of Hanover, and the heir shall not be a Catholic or marry a Catholic. Some people think that this provision conflicts with the provisions of other British laws prohibiting religious discrimination. But in fact, the vast majority of people who are eligible to inherit the throne are Protestant Christians, and most of them claim to be members of the Anglican Church in public. In addition, the bill also stipulates that the succession to the throne is decided by the parliament, not the monarch himself. 20 1 1654381On 28 October, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in Perth, Australia, the Commonwealth Heads of State attending the meeting agreed to amend the Law of Succession to the Throne of170 10, so that all members of the royal family, regardless of gender, have the same right of inheritance, but At the same time, the prohibition that British monarchs are not allowed to marry Catholics has also been abolished, but the monarch himself must be a Protestant.

income tax

Starting from 1993, the Queen agreed to pay income and capital gains tax, and announced that only the Queen, Prince Philip and the Empress Dowager can receive royal funds in the future. However, other members of the royal family did not stop withdrawing royal funds. After they retreat, the queen will return the same amount to the state treasury.
