Yes, She lists herself as a climate activist but that’s surely something you pursue in your spare time, not a paid profession? I’m getting the impression she is one of those ‘do as I say and not as I do’ people. I thought it was a bit ironic that, as a climate activist, she is happy to pollute the air with her ciggie smoking!

I agree with MysticMock that she doesn’t understand how the Royal Family is funded. She also showed no awareness of the money they bring into the country through tourism, or the workforce that supports.

I’m not a massive Royalist, but I respect the monarchy as it is part of our history and heritage, and personally I think it is important to maintain our traditions, especially when they are such a draw to tourists from other countries.
