Clearly you do care since you are commenting about it.

And whether you like it or not they aren’t irrelevant.
I really don't. I only get on here and read and comment when I'm bored at work. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time saying anything about it. I'm stuck here for 8 hours, may as well do something to entertain myself.

Which, again, means you care. If you didn’t care you wouldn’t comment, boredom or not. It’s that simple.

So that’s three strikes

1. You did tell people what to worry about
2. You do care
3. Whether you like it or not the Royal Family is relevant.

And given the 3rd point it makes sense Tim Cook would host a visit with King Charles.

lol. Whatever makes you feel better.
 
How many "other individuals/companies/families" receive money from the public purse while already sitting on £8 billion in wealth? The comparison doesn’t really hold up when we’re talking about an institution uniquely subsidised by taxpayers to the tune of hundreds of millions annually, while also being exempt from many taxes that others are required to pay. Shouldn’t we question why the public is funding an organisation of this scale at all, especially when so much of its wealth isn’t directly contributing back to society in a meaningful, measurable way?
The monarchy own the land, and many of the buildings that are on that land, or on other land, so rental income is collected, alongside many other sources of income generated, and then (unlike a business) that income, is received by the Treasury, and they pay the Monarchy a annual fee. Whilst you don't seem to want to recognise their place as land owners, and income generators, you probable also don't want to recognise their role, as the 'servants' of the 'government of the day', to provide soft diplomacy, where that government see's fit. That includes, but not limited to, visits to meet other world leaders, attending and speaking at conferences, visiting SME's throughout the UK, and many other functions, all in the aid of the UK.
When you are close minded, and ignorant of the facts, in makes one less tolerant of the truth.
