    She certainly does. Living in huge palaces and castles with all her servants waiting on her, with an unimaginable amount of wealth.

    Sure, she has her money. Charles I wasn't poor either, but he was minus his head when he pushed his politics too far.

    I don't think I'd trade though... Wealth without the freedom to enjoy it doesn't sound too appealing.

    Their entire lives are mapped out and scrutinised by the press/public. They spend much of their time attending to State functions and duties, most of which are probably tedious as hell.

    Unlike politicians, there's not really a way out... wouldn't be for me.
