Much as I respect the Queen she won’t live for ever. Surely when she passes it is time to get rid of the archaic monarchy. The wealth that could be redistributed is enormous. The revenue that could be made from Palaces and estates also a constant source of revenue better in private hands with a percentage of profits plus tax going to the country.
While we are about it those tax evading companies earning huge wealth out of the UK need to be addressed (no need to tax us expats though, although I think that will come. ID cards linked to health and social welfare too. It’s never too late.
The whole Megan thing just reminds me of the absurd outpouring over Diana’s death. I’m not a staunch republican but my tendencies lean much further in that direction than royalist.
I repeat, I think the Queen has been a magnificent figurehead, all this considered on the rollercoaster ride of the last 40 years. If they’d left monarchy to comparative inbreeding they probably would not have had the issues with Diane, Fergie and Meghan and even dear old Andy’s indiscretions would probably have just been rumours.
