London: Oxford University students voted against hanging the portrait of the British on Diamond Jubilee celebrations, saying she was “born into privilege”.
Students at Keble College disagreed to spend £200 on a picture of Queen Elizabeth saying “the general feeling was that enough is already being” spent on celebrations marking the Queen’s 60th year of reign, Press TV reported.
“Nearly 200 pounds to support someone who was born into a certain family is not really economical use of money. The Royal family do nothing but sit on their backsides and wave at people. They have never had to work in their lives and just live off their ancestor’s money,” said one of the students.
British Queen is celebrating her 60th year on the throne over the extended Jubilee weekend from June 2 to June 5 amid protests staged by anti-monarchy activists.
Reports said £202 million a year was the cost of the Queen and her family’s lobbying government ministers to promote their financial interests.
