Cryer said Queen Elizabeth ii being one of the worlds richest women and untaxed to Boot should pay for the repairs. Since then others have suggested including some conservative party members that the Queen should at least make a contribution to repair the popular tourist attraction and one of her several residences.

The Public if radio talk shows Are any gauge of its sentiment is not amused by Brookes Quick generosity. Over the weekend some 90 percent of the callers to a radio talk show said taxpayers should not pay. Thus the Queen finds herself at the Center of another controversy perhaps one a Little More serious than those involving her children and their spouses.
