While most of Britain prepares to celebrate King Charles’ coronation on Saturday, it’s fair to say that many people are sick of the royal hysteria and are looking for any way to derail the festivities.
If you thought Celtic and Liverpool football fans disrupting the national anthem before games were annoying, some pranksters have gone a step further by vandalizing the pristine lawns of the Royal Crescent in Bath, where the coronation party is set to take place.
While they received a low score for creativity, some may appreciate the effort put in by mowing a giant penis into the grass that adorns the party site.
The not-so-subtle artwork serves as a stark reminder that the Royal Family is not as well-liked as the British establishment would have you believe.
From its role in nearby Ireland to the British Empire’s long history of atrocities, it’s fair to say that some people aren’t thrilled with the lavish ceremony and party set to take place at taxpayer expense on Saturday.
These childish pranks, however, are unlikely to bother the Royal Family, given their recently disclosed net worth.
Princess Beatrice is worth $1 million, and Princess Eugenie is worth $1 million, according to GOBankingRates, though she has an estimated wealth of $10 million held in trust funds established by her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, as well as a trust established by her divorced parents.
Camilla Parker Bowles is worth $5 million, while Kate Middleton’s entrepreneurial family is worth $50 million thanks to their company, Party Pieces. Prince Philip was worth $30 million when he died, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are estimated to be worth $60 million. According to reports, Prince William is worth $100 million.
Of course, given their control over much of the public land in the United Kingdom, their overall worth is estimated to be far greater.
