The royal ‘firm’ is collapsing.

Just a normal dysfunctional family. The totally innocent Andrew's been welcomed back to bolster things, he was sat next to Queen in car going to church on Sunday. And Princess Anne's son is advertising milk in China as is Princess Di's niece.
 
Nothing will ever be proven regarding Andrew, but you’d think she’d make him keep his head down during the storm (doesn’t have to disown him).

Very testing times for the monarchy. Wait til Philip croaks and everyone whose been protecting him suddenly decide to sing like canaries for money.
 
I love the fact we still have a Monarchy. It is just the couple of knobs who abuse their power. The Queen has proven time and time again she knows how to judge the "situation". They bring in so much to this country and people still bang on about how much a certain flight costs, etc. It is all changing but I still hope we have a King or Queen in decades to come. I just wish she could sack Boris and I voted for him!!

I think William could potentially be a fantastic King. I've been impressed at the way he's handled the situation with Harry, it can't have been easy for him as they were always close but he's maintained his dignity throughout it and like the Queen, has acted as a Royal should.
 
I have some respect for the Queen but not having a monarchy as its unecessary and outdated,. I'd like it abolished once she dies.

London would still receive as many tourists, as do all the major cities in other republics.
 
The main reason why we’ve all been turned over by the various Tory governments in the the past 5-10 years is because it’s enabled by having a monarchy without the safeguards that come with “Real” constitutional arrangements.
Both Denmark and Sweden have monarchies. But have in place a grown up constitution.
William will be just another more modern version of what’s been going on since his namesake William who moved in 1066…..and stayed. Time to leave nanny behind.

She does as advised, judges nothing. Time they went and the country grew up a little. Or can we forever be a nation of fawning Disney kids?
 
This is my understanding of what makes a good monarch in majority of royalists eyes. Never say anything controversial, just keep your dignity..

That is fine and QE2 (or 1 in Scotland?) Is brilliant at it. Why though are they involved in our democracy?

I am all for a figurehead promoting lots of good things about UK but don't have them as an ineffective tier of government.
