It isn’t her fault that she is who she is
Yes it is. As monarch, she could have given back money / land or changed the future of the monarchy. She could have abdicated if she disagreed with the whole show.
She's now the longest reigning monarch in history, so.....

She's not though is she? Doesn't she still have another 2 years to take that title?

Arguably she did, which is why all profits from the Crown Estate go to the treasury. Its not far off £3bn over the last 10 years. She also pays income and CGT tax on her private income and any income from the various duchys that she benefited from personally. Interestingly she volunteers to do this despite having legal tax exempt status. In return, we pay for the policing and upkeep of the palaces which is about 4% of the royal families treasury contributions.
Although to be fair, she was also in the Panama papers wasnt she? I dpubt she's playing with a straight bat.

I’m pretty certain that there is not a man jack on here who doesn’t have a friend or family member who has done something utterly reprehensible. Pretty sure none of us have got to nearly a hundred years old without a known stain on their character.
Give the old girl a break. It isn’t her fault that she is who she is. Anachronistic as it might be.
