Is the British Royal Family The Ultimate Moochers?
Don't read this if you are one of those loyal subjects or fervent believers in the monarchial system. It will offend you!
What is a Moocher?
A moocher is someone who decidedly does not work to earn a living, lives off other people, and makes those individuals feel obligated to feed them while displaying societal superiority over those who feed them. That’s the simplest way to explain it. Furthermore, a moocher sustains their livelihood on the backs of people they disdain by looting their human abilities for labor, land, capital, and intellectual property without fair compensation. Keep in mind that they abhor these people. It’s pure capitalism corrupted or in reverse.
The Royal Trickery of Mooching
The ruse can continue as long as the abused people believe it’s a privilege to be abused by the supposed upper class, in this case, the royal family. Once they continue to serve at their majesty's pleasure as subjects, or more accurately, as objects, they are allowed to live and continue to oblige the monarchy and their family of freeloaders because everyone believes they deserve it for some mythical superior bloodline of royalty.
Yet there is no biological difference between the blood in the veins of a royal and a peasant, or in today’s terms, a working class. In old France, there was no difference between the blood of a proletariat and a bourgeoisie. But as long as everyone believes there is, the fraud can continue for centuries.
The Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous
The Royals will wear magnificent gowns and medals of achievements they give themselves, crowns of precious metal and jewels, and showcase an over-the-top lifestyle even while their subjects struggle to survive, only to prove they are superior to their subjects. Everyone will ignore that these precious metals and jewels were stolen from people who were enslaved and murdered to support their beautiful life. The luxurious lifestyle is paid for by looting other faraway subjects who never asked to be subjugated by a strange and deculturizing monarchy via colonialism.
The existence of the monarchy is fickle. Like citizens giving value to their paper currency because they believe it is a means of exchange, the royal family stays in power because their subjects believe in them. To add, people who aspire to whiteness sees them as the beacon, that torch they are attracted to like a flame but cannot enter because they are not made of royal blood.
Even some of the people who are regularly looted for their resources, never getting a fair price and remaining in poverty while the royal family showcases their wealth via pomp and ceremony, believe that the royal family deserves to be idolized and that their position is somehow god-ordained because the Archbishop, who is also paid from the royals loot, says so.

Will it Take Another “Fall Of the Bastille?”
In 1789, the French royal family met a deadly fate because, due partly to hunger and despair, the subjects guillotined the king and queen, King Louis XI, and his wife, Marie Antoinette. Before her death, she was so out of touch with the state of the desperation of her subjects that when they told her they were hungry, she told them through her emissary, “Let them eat cake!”
British people adore their royal family despite their poverty, struggles to pay rising bills, educate their children and live comfortably. This loyalty is especially true of those aspiring to “whiteness” regardless of their ethnic origin. They tolerate racist behavior and their own suffering as long as they can look at that house representing their higher order — Buckingham Palace. They shouted, “God save the queen,” and now, since the scheme is made to endure for the benefit of the family alone, they shout, “God save the king” to her son. Meanwhile, the masses accept the fraud so much that no one wonders why God is not saving them too.
“Who Elected You, King?”
Well, a few are wondering. I recall a British man shouting to King Charles as he walked through a crowd seeking validation of his position from the masses, “Who elected you, king?” Of course, we know kings are not elected as in a democratic society, but the same family is made by their god, church, and people to rule as any dictatorship. I guess that was the man’s point.
As with the Fall of the Bastille, I can’t help but wonder what will trigger a similar fate in Britain. They don’t need the royal family for political rulership because they have a Westminster democratic system. These politicians do the work of running the country. Why does the population struggling to heat their homes pay £104.2 million ($130 million) in the 2022 fiscal budget to support these superior individuals?
Well, because they believe in a tradition that permits their looters to prosper. It’s been happening for centuries, so it feels routine and makes sense. Besides, it’s heresy to question it. Hell, as this opinion piece's author, I would have been executed a few hundred years ago. I may still be literarily executed in the commentary of this piece by royal-loving subjects.
Royals Still Grasping for Validation of Their Sense of Self
Examine how the Royals have ravaged the reputation of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke, and Duchess of Sussex — their own family— simply because they need to grab every stray of loyalty that still remains among their subjects. If it’s showcasing their bigotry towards the brown people among their looted class, so be it if that maintains their popularity.
I can’t help but sense fear among the British royal family that they may need to hoard and invest as much of their loot as possible now because the gimmick is almost up, and for many, it is already.
How We Love The Commonwealth as It Made Us Wealthy
During their validation tour when the queen’s death was imminent, the royal family visited their former colonies to test how much longer they had and to buy time by shoring up support from subjects far and wide among the so-called “Commonwealth.” This tour was a disaster compared to the visits when Queen Elizabeth was young.
Out of touch with reality or ordinary people's lives, Prince William berated his staff for not predicting that, on tour, people would request apologies for enslavement and demand reparation. Under the Slave Compensation Act of 1837, The Bank of England paid the last installment of its £20 million ($25 million) loans to Lloyds of London for government annuities for reparation to plantation owners for their stolen lands and enslaved people in 2015—the descendants of enslaved people paid for their ancestor's freedom through their taxes. That’s £17 billion ($21.2 billion) in today's money.
Is the British Royal Family Still Relevant?
The monarchical tour was pierced with unwelcome energy. Barbados declared itself a republic, and others said they would do the same soon; peaceful protest by officials and their citizens alike met their arrival, and the press and many of the “subjects” wondered out loud of the benefit to their development or rather the cause of their underdevelopment of having a royal family living in laps-of-luxury on their looted resources, while they smiled and allowed themselves to accept the fraud of thievery, thus making it appear as good and normal.
Prince William allegedly castigated his staff, blaming them for not handling the royal tour to the Caribbean well enough for them. British people complained they spent £4.5 million of their taxpayers' money on these validation trips. Most Caribbean people have no idea how much they spend on a regal vacation. Meanwhile, the royals internally gossip about the chance that their bloodline may be darkened by Harry and Merkel’s baby, pretending there was a differential in their blood.
Pomp and Ceremony For A Cause?
I did not watch the coronation of King Charles because I am not a subject, and I had better things to do, like read a book or hang out with my family for enjoyment. But since the event was broadcast everywhere in the news, I saw the golden carriage and heard remarks about how heavy it was. I saw a few minutes of the pomp and ceremony as older members of my family, who have accepted the fraud or their relative importance and the looting of their labor and resources, watched in awe of the spectacle.
I heard some public opinions from the press, interviewing people who cautiously said it was unnecessary for them to have such a vast and expensively lavish event while the economy was in shambles, especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic plus Brexit.
In The End, Britain Aims to Remain The Same Forever
My family in England migrated there to help rebuild the country after World War II. They were from the colonies. When Britain was growing anti-foreign, anti-brown people sentiment, they tried to deport people in what’s not called the Windrush scandal, Caribbean brown people who had lived most of their lives in England and helped rebuild the country during that time. My older family still recounts how poorly they were treated in England, including being spat at by people they cared for in geriatric hospitals.
But these are all part of the behavior of aspiring to their royals. Just as their royals looted them and the colonies, they also hoped to loot the immigrated subjects. How long will the ruse continue? I don’t know, but I see fissures in the crack, and more and more people ask, “Who elected you, king?”
