I see the Queen of England is traveling in a new carriage! 4.5 Million dollar carriage! Wow !! Do you think these leaders know how much dough this is? You could make a lot of improvements with that? I think goverment officals are OUT OF TOUCH! Do you think otherwise?

I think OUR Monarchy are entitled to everything they get, they are non political,they bring more money into OUR country than they take, this new coach was built by an Australian ex patriot, he actually remortgaged his home to build this piece of BRITISH history,we have a lot more things to worry about than what the QUEEN does.

What's this about 'our' monarchy ROMOS? Will an independent Scotland share the Queen with the rest of the UK? Congratulations to the Aussie who clearly is not a republican.

@nom, I haven't decided on my vote yet,I think most people here are like minded, not enough positive information seems to be coming our way yet, even if we say yes she will still be welcome here, after all, she still has a few homes here.

a very small amount of money was given by the government,as Romos said ,the Aussie bloke put most of the money in by Mortage his own home,By the way he was supposed to have finished for the Queens 80th birthday,,he is a little late,But better late than never,,,,

Frankly Lu, I couldn't care less what the Queen does with her money. It reminds me of a line from an old movie.(The Yellow Rolls Royce.) "My girl wants a Royce Rolls,My girl gits a Royce Rolls".

Oh! I do believe that it's her money.She is very wealthy.I think there would be an outcry even from the Royalists i8f she spent tax payers money on anything so frivolous

Then why not, let her spend to her Royal Heart's Content! We have politicians who spend ours like it is theirs and it is sickening!

She's worth every penny. The Queen has never put a foot wrong in all the years she has rained, she's worth 100 times more than any president in the world, and I don't mean in money/wealth terms.
