The royal ‘firm’ is collapsing.

Never been a royalist but proud to be from England .... elitism and the establishment are a burden we normal folk tolerate reluctantly ... Nothing against William and Harry as people but the job they have / had and the financial trappings it rakes in wrangles with me
 
This country allows the past to rule the present and future. Monarchy is outdated, parliament belongs in a bygone ere, the voting system doesn't reflect voting and the system of private education ensures those with money remain in privileged positions.

This is my understanding of what makes a good monarch in majority of royalists eyes. Never say anything controversial, just keep your dignity..

agreed, and if so, then maybe they should be voted in for a fixed term, so that any controversies are wiped away when they cease to hold the position and a new person comes in. I'd have no problem with King Brian Cox for 5 years followed by Queen Deborah Meaden, then King Jarvis Cocker
