A recent report revealed that the British monarchy costs taxpayers 66 pence per year (or about $1.79 CDN). Less than the cost of an iPOD download or a cup of Starbucks coffee. Are they worth it?

Tune in live to the next Royal Report on Sunday July 13th, 2008 9:00PM EST (North America). The topic will be a review of the Official royal websites. The best ones, the worst ones, which ones to avoid. Which ones do you think are the best?

I just read word that Zara Phillips has withdrawn from the Olympic equestrian team. Very surprising and disappointing news, I must say. Sad that her horse, Toytown, has been injured.
