Tickets to visit Queen Elizabeth's Tomb infuriate Britons
The price of tickets to Queen Elizabeth II's tomb - announced by the Royal Family - has sparked a wave of criticism in Britain, with the cost of tickets rising at a time when people are experiencing stifling economic crises.
The royal family announced the reopening of some royal castles to tourists and visitors, including Windsor Castle, where St George's Chapel is located, where the Queen was buried.
A weekend ticket costs 28.5 Pound (approximately $32) and the rest of the week 26.5 Pound (approximately $30), with reductions for families and group trips.
The value of the tickets has drawn widespread criticism of the royal family via social media platforms, with many pointing to the family's lack of interest in the financial crises of the people, and only its interest in raising the most money.
Some considered that charging these prices and taking advantage of the Queen's Tomb commercially was not an acceptable act of the Royal Family under any circumstances. In a tweet on Twitter, one of them mocked: "It may not be her last resting place, the attraction can become so profitable, they take her on tour."
In that wave of criticism, some criticized the size of the Royal Family's expenditures and its vast financial resources, although there were no clear responsibilities or important roles to play.
Writer Sidney Chandler, through his account on Twitter, commented: "The royal family lives in a world of luxury, charges a fee from the public to visit the Queen's Tomb, and the mind-boggling part is that they will find people obsessed with the royal family who will gladly pay that sum."
Citizens' living crises these days have been heavily attended by criticism, with one blogger commenting: "This can be someone's weekly budget to feed their family."
Britain is suffering from a stifling economic crisis, with prices of many products rising recently, in addition to the energy crisis caused by the Ukrainian War, whose prices have reached unprecedented levels.
