21st Century Wire asks…
What’s behind all of the tradition, pomp and circumstance?
Another Christmas under our belts and with that, another Queen’s address to her British subjects, and to the peoples of world at large.
Who are the Royal Family?
We see the royals constantly in the media, yet very rarely in public. Where do they come from? How, and why did they acquire the name “Windsor”?
British historian, researcher, author and prolific filmmaker, Christopher Everard, is offering some answers to these questions about a much-maligned, and often misunderstood Royal Family…
IT’S A HARD KNOCK LIFE: The Royal Family enjoy an exquisite day of champagne and presents at one of many royal digs.
THE QUEEN’S SPEECH – Deciphered
By Christopher Everard
THE QUEEN’S SPEECH… Is usually recorded about four weeks before Christmas. Because the Queen is married to a German family, and her ancestor, Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg spoke German, wrote all letters of state in German and that her own nephew was a spy selling British secrets to the Germans, the Queen uses the Christmas Day broadcast to make us think she is wholly British and a Christian.
Her actual family come from Saxony and Bavaria – more of her ancestors are German than British.
Her Christmas Day speech usually includes references to British religious landmarks, such as this year when her speech stated “In the ruins of the old Coventry Cathedral is a sculpture of a man and a woman reaching out to embrace each other. The sculptor was inspired by the story of a woman who crossed Europe on foot after the war to find her husband. Casts of the same sculpture can be found in Belfast and Berlin, and it is simply called Reconciliation”.
(…) The Queen is not just the Queen of Britain, she is the queen of a vast empire called the Commonwealth.
Her name is not ‘Windsor’ – on 18th of July 1917, the Times newspaper carried a royal proclamation introducing the name “Windsor” and dropping “all German titles” held by the royal family at Buckingham Palace. Britain’s royal family were known as the Dukes, Kings and Queens of “Saxe-Coburg-Gotha”. In a time of brutal war with Germany, a more German family name would be hard to find.
By 1915, with the first world war almost a year old, the horrific sinking of the cruise-ship Lusitania by a German submarine – with the loss of almost 1,200 lives – a fresh wave of anti-German outrage emerged in Britain and in the USA. The consequences for Germans in Britain were grave – and so, being German, the queen’s grand-parents and great-grandparents created a fake name which they use to this day; ‘WINDSOR’.
Today, our present queen is the queen to peoples on all corners of planet earth – and she earns TAXES from far a field, such as sheep farm workers in Australia and tourism businesses in the many Caribbean islands which the queen owns as part of the ‘commonwealth’.
Her close relatives control the thrones of Spain, Netherlands and her brother-in-law’s family controlled the intelligence/spy networks of the NAZI Third Reich. She is married to her own cousin, and he owns an enormous private estate in the Holstein-Schleisweg district on the border between northern Germany and Scandinavia. The queen hires and fires the head of the BBC and several other prominent jobs in Britain. Her family’s financial affairs are forbidden from public discussion and she can recall and dissolve parliament whenever she likes. Her cousin is DAVID CAMERON, and there are strong Germanic-Jewish ties to our ‘British’ royal family.
Where does her money come from? It comes in the form of TAXES which are earned from millions of people’s wage-packets. The Queen also earns millions each year from her private estate which is centred on the county of Lancaster.
THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER
In addition to the total monarchial control of the Inland Revenue, Royal Mint and Crown Estates, the British monarchy have their own personal land estates – these are properties which at no time can be claimed by the British People and are always, under rule of law, considered to be private estates. One such estate is the vast Duchy of Lancaster which consists of 46,200 acres (18,700 hectares) which includes hamlets, villages, towns, historic buildings, and farm land right across England and Wales.
As of fiscal year 2007, the Duchy of Lancaster is valued at £397 million, earning Queen Elizabeth an officially stated net profit of £11.9 million – or, put another way, she has a private income from this Duchy equivalent to nearly £33,000 per day. Income tax is paid voluntarily on all profits from the Duchy of Lancaster.
The duchy is not the property of ‘The Crown’ (which is a label used to perpetuate the pretence that British People own the property) but is instead the personal property of the monarch and has been since 1399, when the Dukedom of Lancaster, held by Henry of Bolingbroke merged with the crown on his appropriation of the throne (after the dispossession from Richard II). This area of Britain is populated by some of the poorest families in Europe, with disgusting living conditions. Elevators full of piss are a common sight, and vandalism and graffiti is, perhaps, a subconscious reaction to the immense inequality witnessed in this region.
I have written this article so that the next time a politician tells you that there will be ‘tough decisions’ to be made – which is political double-speak for cutting wages and wheeling in another slab of taxes which fire off yet another recession – you can refer to this article and confidently quote the immense amount of TAX which we all pay each year and how our tax money has created a vast fortune for the Royals…
