Box11 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 22 minutes ago, Anna B said: So, following that interview, and things like Prince Charles divorce and remarriage, and Prince Andrew's carryings on, etc. do people think the monarchy will survive much beyond the long, unblemished reign of Queen Elizabeth ll? No I don't "Anna B"... This is why Rachel and Harry are the template for things to come.... The younger generation of the royal family will be more celebrities rather than Royal very much like the royalty of Monaco... I will say this tho it must feel like living in the Truman Show being a member of the Royal family I for one could never do it for love nor money.....

For consistency, if you insist on calling Meghan by her actual given first name, shouldn't you be using Henry instead of Harry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 My late grandfather had a saying about the royal family that went, “They sleep with each other all year round and share the kids out at Christmas”. Edward V11 if rumoured to have fathered dozens of illegitimate children, well he’d bog all else to do had he? The royals are never held responsible for anything, Philip was a bit of a lad and Andrew appears to be doing his best to keep the tradition alive. I’m no goody goody, but could throw up when I hear how wonderful this troubled family is. I object to being a subject of the queen, I would be far happier being a citizen of Great Britain.

I feel you are underestimating the stability, power and influence that still applies by having a monarchy. Despite various conversions to independence, 54 countries still wanted to retain the monarch as head of state. The Commonwealth has been established for 70 + years and showing no signs of disappearing soon. There is much prestige to be had well above that of most ordinary heads of state. She is far more than just some tourist attraction living in a big house. You have to ask yourself why this tiny tinpot island retains such levels of power and influence in global affairs alongside huge nations such as America, Germany, Russia, China etc. I believe that to be far more than the selling points of our Government and Prime Minister. I don't think the world sees it as an embarrassment at all. Many a time it is coveted. Put royal X event on the telly and watch the millions tune in from around the world or flock to the streets to see, what presumably you would dismiss, as just some rich old pensioner. Well we have all seen what the alternatives may be...... President Boris anyone? If it really is that embarrassing how come image sensitive media whores Ginge & Cringe are doing all they can to desperately cling onto their titles. They would have dropped them like a stone if there was any negative connotations but unsurprisingly they realise their true value. They are milking them for all they are worth desperately trying to become America's own version of the monarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
