Which one? Report the posts..literally had to stop posting one thread because of the toxic misogyny and laissez faire attitudes to rape and mutilation that goes mostly unchecked.

Yes these are alleged accusations of paedophilia and yes a lump of cash was given. Whether he did or did not commit paedophilia is not something that should be in shouted about at a solemn public event - A breach of the peace. Would you expect it if someone accused you of a similar thing - He denies it as well but has a rich family to pay hush money.
Which part
1) Democracy deficit
2) Cost / value
3) Dislike of silver spoon

Not entirely true. The 'Queens consent' to become 'Kings consent' certainly embodies the crown with some ability to affect law making.

I think the younger people do not care about the queen because they never saw her during her prime age. They also get paid less than the boomers in a world that is about to get more expensive and potentially more dangerous.
The royal family is like east enders for the boomers while the younger generation is trying to survive, so they mostly do not care.
When they see all that show of wealth they are a bit cynical about what is going on at the moment. All in all I see a different dissent in corporate world where boomers do not understand how to manage the new generation, but that's a different topic.
There are some enormous generalisations in there. As was stated in the poll link I gave, the younger age group are more republican but goes on to say the same was true 30 years ago. 40 years ago I was 100% republican. Now I prefer a constitutional monarchy. So many of the republicans now will age into monarchists.
Given crown lands belong to the nation perhaps it is right that the function that overseas the administration gets to see the laws that affect it and can pass comment on them. But yes you are correct the King can comment on laws that affect the parts of the country they are a 'custodian' of.
$3B in tax revenues in the last 10 years from contracting out the service to a much more efficient long sighted 'firm' rather than often ill run local councils with short term election needs.

Meanwhile in Australia, support for the monarchy has spiked to 60%. Tough times for republicans down under.
Here in Australia we just like to make fun of king sausage fingers
