I think you're severely misrepresenting how much value is in the crown jewels.
The people making them were paid.
Were they paid a fair value for their labour? Looking at the exploitation of workers throughout history, probably not.
You also fail to mention that many of these jewels were likely extracted using slave or poverty wage labour.
But spending on building palaces has always resulted in money going to the rest of society and improving the lives of the rest of the nation
If instead of building one huge fucking building on one huge estate for one family we spread the land between the people and built multiple homes for multiple people there would be far more money going to the rest of society and many more people's lives would be improved.
The monarchy are a parasite and you're an apologist for that. You seem to think you're using facts and logic to explain their being but there's glaring holes in your analysis.
We're poor as a people and a nation because we allow and give excuses for the ultra rich to be rich. There's always going to be people who value wealth and those who don't but to allow those who value wealth to hoard so much that we as a society struggle to function is moronic and should be abolished. I'm just an Internet nerd who likes to read, not a politician, so I don't know where the line should be drawn on personal wealth but allowing a handful of people to have more wealth than huge swathes of society is morally and functionally wrong.
Please look at this website to help try and wrap your head around the sheer vast wealth that is accumulated by the richest in society.

Read up on your history, it likes to repeat itself.
It did happen, it just failed.

It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be "dual control". It was clearly the Americans.
Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?
